Anytime Nyx is given a chance to troll a certain subset of her audience, she will take it, which is how I interpret rendering the John/Emily date. 100% agree we didn't have to see it, I don't really care about it either way but she probably got a kick out of the imagined reactions certain people would have.
Yeah, I made this observation previously with the tattoos but someone said that Nyx had been changing John's tattoos, so we can't necessarily use that as an argument for it being a different John.
The only things we can guarantee is that John fits the description and he recognises Erynn looks a lot like someone he knew from the past.
This probably is my incest rotten brain talking as i often go for those tags in VN's and i know Nyx said early on that there will be no incest, but i wanted Emily for myself and there were some hints in the past for a long time now that it may happen at some point. There have been quite a few instances now where Nyx on purpose was making certain innuendos that could take the story in that direction (EP12 end was one of those for instance). Why else does Emily get way more points than almost every other girl in the game? Just for story enrichment and/or trolling those of us who wouldn't mind those scenarios to take place?. Clearly at some point there was at least a desire to make something with that but Nyx decided to take it in a different direction as of late. I just wish we as a player had some choice in the matter if we want her to date John or not because as it stands all those points we gathered towards her have no meaning or impact whatsoever
Emily's points are pretty minimal, I'm sure it's less than 10.
The early Emily points were the setup to the bike but we didn't know that for a long time. We don't know where the new Emily points will go yet. The points have always been about doing the non incest thing, being a good son, having playful fun with her, etc.
The points for Emily are not for romantic reasons, they are controlling how much trust she gives MC and whether you get a motorbike (which helps with other LIs) is controlled by the Emily RP.
Emily has 24 points, 4 are exclusive to being on a Nikki/Cara route where you go back for the wedding and get into it with Andres. The bike birthday gift requires 13 points.
No, they weren't. Just players seeing things they wanted to see.
It's possible to not get the bike? I think that might be the only route I haven't done.
True but i personally wouldn't mind, IMO Emily is one of the hottest girls in the game. Just another troll Nyx put us through
It is a bit weird. I mean there are choices that imply the MC could choose to be attracted to his mom. Looking at her in the pool, kissing her on the lips, a few scenes in Mom's bedroom... so I get it. But again, Nyx said early on (and I'm paraphrasing) "no incest ever" and so far she has stuck to that.
I mean, i don't mind it, its just interesting how Nyx seemingly loves to troll us for the things some of us may like. I guess it makes for potential drama moments in the story so that's probably her goal in the end
Looking at her in the pool costs you Emily points because it goes against what the Emily points are for: rewarding you for having a good mother/son relationship since MC was an ass to her in the past. The kiss on the lips is in reference to an earlier scene where they accidentally kissed and got embarrassed/later laughed about it. The bedroom scene where you see her dressing is some combination Nyx troll/reward, because you have to have max Emily points to see it. Everyone who thought there was going to be incest was just deluding themselves.
Even the scene where you share her bed on Nikki/Cara route and you wake up with titty in hand, the MC is actively repulsed at the thought.
Those choices always earned negative RP with Emily though. I can see where it comes across as incest baiting but I'm not sure that was Nyx's intention. There was a planned storyline that was abandoned but was due to be triggered in ep 9 where MC would side with Ethan and Zach during their confrontation scene. If you were to ask me for two characters who would stare at their Mom when they were topless and would try and spy on their Mom getting dressed then Zach and Ethan would be top of the list. I think the trigger for MC being on the corruption path would have been refusing to believe Erynn's version of the confession story, having low points with Emily (by being pervy with her), not helping Erynn when she was being abused by Ethan (therefore nuking Erynn and Alexis paths) and maxing points with Zach (nuking the Layla, Elena and Val paths).
How do you feel about Val not being picked up after a traumatic event? She continues to flirt and tease, no signs of any physical intimacy yet.
