I try my best not to judge a story based on speculation of what could happen. It is interesting to take note of these opportunities. Checkov's gun eventually does have to go off, after all. Alexis doing a face/heel turn would be interesting but only if it fit in with an understandable and relatable motivation. Seeing how tormented she was struggling over a small secret she was keeping from MC and Erynn it wouldn't gibe with the audience that she was keeping a much bigger and completely malevolent one. It wouldn't shock an audience I think. I would imagine they would simply reject it, and by transitive property reject the entire story and the entire game. This is what happened to the last season of Game of Thrones. Doing a twist for the sake of the twist instead of for the sake of the story will leave the audience not only dissatisfied but also incredulous.I played the game now really on all possible paths and i also think that Nyx has really put a lot of effort into Alexis. Just look at small scenes which are animated and really well done not only the sex scenes.
We discussed before that may this could be also a trap by Nyx to make her intentionally interesting so that a lot of people fall for Alexis and later she turns her into a bad girl (as said..may she is really working with Ethan and is just distracting MC to keep him from Erynn...and Erynn also believes that Alexis seduced Ethan what she mentions in one dialog). So that would be a WTF effect for Alexis Fans......the only thing which would be difficult to make believe is that Nyx also let us read Alexi's thoughts and how to turn thoughts into lies i dont know...
Why people are so fallen for Erynn i also cant understand because her story with MC is not really convincing yet. Maybe later we experience a more engaging story around her.
Maybe its because she is the only blond girl available...![]()
It seems that some of the fans on the forum want some kind of victory against other fans for the sake of their character. Well, that is a sign of engagement. It is kind of a professional wrestling trick to push a character at another character's expense by having that character turn heel to help the face get over. As one might gather, that is not sophisticated fiction. If people are to accept Erynn it is wise to do so by strengthening her story by giving her character opportunities that have previously been denied. Worst case scenario? It could backfire and people could love Alexis more as a bad girl. Because she would still be the more active character, probably even more active because she is going after what she wants no matter who gets in the way. I call that the Stone Cold effect. Erynn wouldn't benefit in the end because she will still be receiving the cheap heat and she will remain a jobber because the audience isn't buying the work.
As to the hair color thing... gentlemen may prefer blondes but I prefer redheads. Nuff said.
