Yeah, she is. If you think a degree in any subject automatically equates in any way to actual intelligence you clearly haven't met too many "highly educated" people. For example, there are a LOT of really, really fucking stupid doctors.
I don't want to get too off-topic here, but do you have any idea of the grades that it takes to get into medical school? If you're trying to say that they may lack "common sense" or "street smarts" then sure. There are many people out there considered to be geniuses in their field who can't boil an egg, does that make them stupid?

For all we know Ethan could have overheard Zane talking about his date plans with Erynn. How he's booked a hotel for them, then all it takes is for Ethan to call the hotel pretending to be Zane to confirm the booking, to find out what room they are staying at and what time. Then book that room before them, hide a small camera and voila. I seriously doubt that it goes beyond that.
You see how many steps you have to take for it not to be Zane. Zane would have to assume he's getting lucky that night brag to a friend that he's going on a date somewhere where Ethan has to be, and buy a motel room super early ( given their age, I doubt it's an overnight stay), have Ethan use his connections to get into said motel room and set up a camera.
It makes more sense for Zane to be involved in whatever is happening. Whether or not he was a willing participant is debatable.

Didn't Erynn say to the MC that she didn't know that it was Ethan's dad's company before she signed with them? At her place after the MC helps her with Ethan? If she just signed with a company name, rather than looking who owns it or who's in charge of it, which I can understand. Especially if they are a big company.
I guess i have a hard time buying that a guy like that wouldn't flex about his dad owning a modeling company...
This is the exact thing "Ethans" do to get attention from girls, say how much money and power/influence they have.

And they knew each other for years, went to the same school, had fights and even the tape blackmail... before she signed with this company.

I was just thinking about the whole costume party with Alexis. I hope Erynn dresses up as Yennerfer with the few times he has mentioned Witcher 3 be perfect. ( not sure if all the costumes have to be animal themed or just Alexis wants hers to be)
Alexis could be triss since that's another redhead but that would probs be a bit too much on the nose.

I think so, but even if she knew, she could realistically think Ethan wouldn't have that much influence in his father's business.

well the poll someone posted a few pages back said it needed to be animal themed so wouldn't work if I recall. Just not sure if everyone's has to be or just Alexis wants hers to be

Still an awful risk to take with a guy that has been causing trouble for her for years and just blackmailed her...

If I recall correctly, Erynn told the MC that Ethan's dad scouted her and signed her.
I think she also said his dad has been nothing but nice , respectful and all around a good guy to her. So she didn't think anything of it and had no idea Ethan would be her agent and when she was gonna quit the brought up the blackmail again.

Unless I'm mistaken I might be wrong with some of the details here

Meanwhile I'm reminded of how I'm probably the only one in here who doesn't like her :eek:
I did before the newest update (you should try her current path btw if you haven't to see if it can change your mind too) but she's still not my favorite. I always felt she got a lot of hype I could never understand with the content she had.

The new content made me feel some kind of way. He's normally a horndog that tests boundaries but he had that shit turned up to ten on his date with Val

I'll be short because I don't want to get chased away with torches and pitchforks.

The issue I had wasn't that much with her, but how she was forced onto me as a player, in my first playthrough (I only started playing this VN 2 updates ago) I had no interest in pursuing her yet, for what seemed to me like forever, she kept popping up no matter how hard I was trying to ignore her and pick negative answers.

I'll eventually try a playthrough involving her, but due to my age I tend to gravitate towards older LIs, not just in Intertwined mind you.

yeah before this update I saw Val as an overhyped pretty face now she is in my top 3.

:LOL: You'll get no pitchforks from me, different stokes for different folks. I just always try to do all paths in a game, even if i'm not into them to see their story. (I hated Quinn in BAD till i tried her path) You might change your mind or maybe not.

I'm an old stubborn mule, one of my many defects, so first impressions tend to stick with me, but I'm also a bit of an OCD completionist, so I'll have to play also her route. :KEK:

There is a bug that I dont get any Elena content in this update.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
with your MC's name that's gonna be confusing when it comes to his best friend haha.

But there is no Elena in this update just trying to make things with Layla has she gave the MC an ultimatum in the last update.

I just did a Val playthrough without Gabi and Ximena recognized the MC. 100% She's Val's mom.
There's a very good chance, yes. Did you do a route without Val? I don't know if Ximena say the same thing regardless (if we didn't take the picture with Val, or if she didn't see MC on the side walk.

There's also a slight chance she would know MC because of Anders, because she seem to know him. But she would've probably made the connection right there "Ahh that's how I know you" (or something like that). But these characters aren't always the brightest (for the sake of writing a story with a lot of twist), so it's possible.

My money is also on Ximena-Valeria, especially since every renders of Val mom look exactly like her.
