You're in. Will correct the invitation.Count me as a member
You're pretty much in. I am putting out a contract on Nathan and Zach, but if you want some practice, take out those douche bags who hit on/bothered Lexi in the bar.How do I become a made man in the Lexi clan?
One of us! (But I may soon challenge Justaphase for the title of Godfather of the Val Family.)When Zach punched the MC i even wondered if there was some decision i screwed up... once i figured that's just Zach, i felt petty/motivated enough to bang her just to get back at him...
I wasn't super into her back then, "get in line new girl", just doing it for revenge, but she has grown on me since![]()
DON ELENO, I hope your first child, will be a masculine child ...Man I still have two pages of catch up to do and I'm out of likes for the day. I'll just chum the water...
As Don of Clan Elena I am warning you all now...

Coach is a known issueI just picked this game up, realize I'm hardly the first. One thing that amazes me is the really complex branching system that the game seems to do a really good job of keeping track of. I did notice a bit of confusion, probably right at the end of the available game I'm assuming based on the gallery. Nothing that broke the game, I was just wondering if this is an issue with my individual playthrough that might mean some flags are messed up.

For some of the characters, relationship point management is critical. If you get over 'x' points, it's assumed you either want to start, continue, or resume, a relationship. It irritates me personally. Layla is one example, if you get over a certain point threshold, it just turns into a relationship... the MC/player has no control over it. Others like Lexi or Erynn are point but also decision based. You could have 100+ Lexi Relationship Points, but if you don't make two decisions you don't end up in a relationship with her. I think there should always be a conscious decision point to enter, or not, a relationship in a game like this. Perhaps, if reaching a point threshold that NPC could ask the MC if they wanted to date, but it shouldn't happen automagically.I just picked this game up, realize I'm hardly the first.

That is where I am at with Lexi as my #1 LI.Maybe is because I'm older now, so LIs that behave like highschool childs aren't that attractive for me anymore, maybe 'cause most of the activities you can do with her (pre and post actual relationship) are things I actually experienced and enjoyed in real life.
I think she just clicks well with who I was and still am as a man, she might not be the hottest looking, the craziest one or the sweetest one, she just feels "real" and as a consequence the "right" choice.
It's hard to explain it better is just what it is, but is also credit to the author, is relatively easy to write stereotype characters that are anything but, Lexi is a stereotype sure, she just happens to be the stereotype of woman I always loved dating.![]()
For me, Val is the other end of the spectrum of drama that Erynn represents. That's not to say Val brings drama to the table, just that its there and part of the package (the way I read it, is you can argue that she is someone recovering from sexual assault and thus has major trust issues where males are concerned).I'm a "first impression" sort of guy, unfortunately Val made a horrible impression on me when I first played the VN and she popped up, and despite my prediliction for "mediterranean" looking women (thanks Oedipus I guess sigh) I still can't get myself to like her.
Still not sure why, at the beginning my knee jerk reaction was related to the fact she felt way too forced for quite a bit, despite me trying my best to have the MC ignore her.
Then I started thinking she might be Nyx's self insert, even if it doesn't really makes much sense, ultimately ended up on a position similar to yours, she's inserted as a "destructive force", the new bait to bite and create even more drama.
We don't know where it will lead yet, we only know that it's in the game code.Whats the Nikki Secert path? I always choose her over Cara but i want to know if i can bang both of them on one playthrough.
I disagree about Val being pushed on to the MC. Her romantic path is one of the hardest to get on to, because you need almost every point and make every correct choice while on the bus and at training camp. Otherwise she only sees the MC as a friend.Yes you are right, a good part of it is how the story is driven and presented, but many VNs push a lot of LIs the MC's way, I mean also in this one Val is another example, and she's (imo) pushed onto the MC way harder than Lexi, or maybe is just because it happesn later on.
The point is once you take the bait, you get to experience the relationship, and the one with Lexi vastly outclass the ones with pretty much any other LI in any VN I played so far (and it's triple digit).

on my tablet so I don' have my gif collection to appropriately respond
Oh ok thanks.We don't know where it will lead yet, we only know that it's in the game code.
That is where I am at with Lexi as my #1 LI.
Everything (the good and the bad) seem to progress naturally in the relationship she has with MC.
Of course, they got physical right away (which can happen, but not the way the VN's portray it, however even that is debatable)
but every interaction they have has both a sweetness/flirty/getting to know each other vibe the way some of my own previous relationships have been.
Everyone operates at different speeds, granted, but her and the MC seem the most natural/organic relationship to pursue.
If there's a sign up button for team Lexi, sign me up.
Full disclosure, its still Lexi-Nikki-Elena (and Iris and Cara get honorable mentions now) for me though.
I find it curious that Erynn and Val get labelled as "too problematic" for things that happened sometimes years ago by accident or they were victims of...For me, Val is the other end of the spectrum of drama that Erynn represents.

I think both are better friend zoned, however I think Val can be a better/mature friend because of her drama, where Erynn still seems a bit naive given her age and experiences.
For Val I can't say because I've never been interested in her, but Erynn my problem is that the relationship has suffered too much distrust. Remaining friends seems possible to me but in a relationship unconsciously there would always be problems.I find it curious that Erynn and Val get labelled as "too problematic" for things that happened sometimes years ago by accident or they were victims of...
And yet often the same people are completely ok with Alexis, who lied and deceived both the guy she loves and her best friend, demons created by her own conscious decisions... she's the mature option right?
"I was just afraid i would lose you if i told the truth", you guys bought this bullshit excuse? After she comes up short on telling the truth not once, but 4 times?
She just feels so bad about lying and backstabbing her friend, she keeps instigating more and feeling SO SAD after...
She's in my pour gasoline and light the match tier![]()
