It's 13 Val points and you have to help Erynn with the blackmail plot.

depends, he seems to be all about blackmail and manipulation. He may have something on her or her mother to leverage her. Will just have to see what nyx has planned when she gets to it.

He is a really small fish. The blackmail plot is also quite convoluted and childish. If it weren't for the diminished IQ in some characters, then it wouldn't be hard to deal with. Returning the cellphone to Ethan was so stupid; it made me cringe.

eh I think Returning the cellphone was fine. He couldn't unlock it why take the risk of getting some assault charges by not returning the phone, if the phone is no use the MC without someone that knows how to by pass the lock. Sure Ethan could be lying and press charges anyways but why take the risk when it's useless to the MC imo. I think taking the phone was the dumb move to begin with.

Solo runs are your best best to unlock all content for a character. Nyx messes with combination runs on purpose. Even then there are characters like Elena that will want you to be on Layla's route to even get scenes with. Then there are situations like Layla's hot tub party where you have to choose between Layla solo and the Layla/Elena scene (if you're also interested in Elena). The Riverside sisters (Nikki/Cara) don't seem to block most content, but there is a scene for Emily in the gallery that requires you to date one of them and then break up with them when they come to visit.

Oh fck i didn't think about John probably being Erynn's dad. So if im on Erynn's path she could potentially become my step-sister or if im on Iris's path she could also potentially become my step-sister. Damn, that's another two girls with a big drama potential. Also side note, funny how John kind of flirted with his daughter if you chose him to help her in previous episode

it's stupid is what it is. Press charges? Based on what? There were no witnesses. Even if he conjures up one of his goons to lie for him, MC just as easily could get someone to give him an alibi. The only real risk is him releasing the video, but as he said then Erynn is as good as gone from his business. Also MC could do the same to him, should have done it already actually. This whole plot is stupid anyway, should have been dealt with already, it's taking way too long, but I guess that's soap operas for you

ah I assume there might of been some camera's or something but then again im not one to take a risk even if it's like 99% to be in my favor I don't like taking that 1% chance if it can end up with something serious like getting arrested. So because of that I didn't think it was worth it since he didn't know someone that could bypass the lock. Plus I never thought of the no witness thing just the moment I heard press charges my no risk mindset kicks in and I kind of don't think about it logically lol.it's stupid is what it is. Press charges? Based on what? There were no witnesses. Even if he conjures up one of his goons to lie for him, MC just as easily could get someone to give him an alibi.

YEah the whole thing is dumb as rocks. Scared for her teaching career? Sorry beautiful, your semi-nude modelling career already destroyed that...and putting up with numbnuts is better than not having a teaching career? Like seriously...I get young kids are stupid these days but they are not that stupid. As for the 'solutions'...they dumber than the plot to begin with.it's stupid is what it is. Press charges? Based on what? There were no witnesses. Even if he conjures up one of his goons to lie for him, MC just as easily could get someone to give him an alibi.

Is this a reflection of Nyx's writing skill or does she actually think/is under the belief the majority of her audience are that fucking stupid? (or a fave conspiricy of mine..is that this is actually a side story written by DPC....) Annoys the crap out of me...like you said, forgetting the few weeks of actual in-game time...we're 5 godamn years in....enough already....wrap it up so we can all move on with our lives...
Or at the very least, make it believable if going to continue to drag this shit out...

Erynn's entire plot is dumb from the get go and she had enough drama/connection with the MC over their past without it. How many teachers do you know that did modelling in college? Especially the type she's doing. As much as I hate the blackmail plot, I just know it's gonna get resolved in some asinine way that will make me cringe harder than the "He's my dad's...friend!" at the start of Ep 13.
Oops Mav beat me to it.

(It's actually the main reason I took a break from this a couple of years ago and stopped doing my walkthrough...just mind-numbingly stupid...despite me still actually likeing the VN...and it's STIIIIILLLLLLLL going on...and on...like a damn Ariston washing machine...).

only reason I even like the blackmail plot is because of the trauma it brings to Erynn's character. For me it makes her feel believable with how slow she goes and blueballs the MC. but from a plot point blackmail rarely ever works well with AVN's in general. Even when a dev things he thought of a way to make it works there is usually a plothole and this one is really dumb considering her career choice.
But yeah It needs to be done and over with soon

Just manage the points for the other LIs and they'll never approach you out of romance. There are certain overtly romantic choices you can make that either lead to love interest, or friend status. You can do it with Alexis, Erynn, Layla, Val, Niki, and Cara, for sure. If the points get too high they'll approach you. But if you don't go over the 'threshold' you'll just become (best) friends and they never express interest in you. In addition don't flirt or do anything overtly romantic and it won't trigger anything.
On any playthrough I can keep them all from wanting to, or asking, to date the MC.

What's funny is the camera's would show MC helping a woman being physically assaulted. So Ethan would basically send himself down in the process.

Damn, now I'm wondering why I like this so much. This is in my top 10 but if you put a gun to my head I'm not sure I could explain why. I guess I really just love branching AVNs.
I get what they mean though. Val is tricky to manage. You can't romance Layla obviously, but some scenes need you to be with Alexis. Then Ep13 has the Erynn/Val beach date, easy to dodge Erynn by managing her points but it's still a lot of work put in for a girl that doesn't have an "official" route.
