VN Ren'Py Intertwined [v0.14.1] [Nyx]

Andres should have never made Emily agree to a promise like that and Emily should have never sent MC to Andres. Also i like to throw in Eryn drama. They may have not been making fun of MC but she sure should have been talking to MC instead of walking off and watching a stupid video and laughing during a confession by the MC to Eyrn and after the fact when he stormed off the first time Eyrn still sitting there yapping to Ethan instead of making sure MC wasn't upset. Also if she was sooo close to MC and ethan always picked on MC why the crap would she even be friends with Ethan to begin with? None of the Eyrn stuff makes sense to me. Also the Blackmail doesn't make sense she was what 17-18 years old having sex with her BF? WHOAA Big deal so what? Thats not really blackmail material there if you ask me.

I think this is a good addition and probably stems from the same root. Could be just in-group bias, but it's also possibly "benevolent-sexism". The kind where a woman is only responsible for everything good that happens to her, but none of the bad things that happen to her.

It suffers from the same re-framing issue, where after learning the full facts, the character ends up looking worse than they did before. Granted in this case she does try to talk to the MC, who does not want to see her. Repeatedly if I recall correctly.

So less egregious than the Emily-Andres story. Re-framing wise.

But as you said, letting someone actually bully someone who you supposedly consider to be a close friend is incredibly fucked up and doesn't jive well with later being head-over-heels for him.

I do think the blackmail material would work if this story is taking place in the naughties (2000-2010). In this day and age of models being on LonelyFans it doesn't work well. It would also be seen as a type of revenge/leaked porn, even with good lawyers the leaker is not going to end up looking well. But ignoring the courts, she would likely get a massive popularity boost from said leak.

In Spain you hear it much more than amor, for example.

Exactly what I meant, even close nit Girlfriends use that, to adress each other, it is much more comon than over here in the new world,
best example: your user name the South cone version would be: sin_encendedor

 

[xapican]

I know that each country has its own expressions, just as I imagine that it is not the same in Mexico, Cuba or Argentina, because each one evolves the language in a different way.
But I found it curious that by calling her cariño is because she is her stepmother or aunt (or whatever) and not her mother (if she is 28 years old it is clear that she is not). Mainly because I really don't know where Nyx is from, nor how influenced she is by European Spanish.

She settled in Spain afaik, anyway I admire her creativity, and how she keeps eager to know what happens next

I love the repercussions you get in this game. I wish more games properly took you through the bad side of your choices - I think the main thing I've enjoyed as something a little more unique here has been how a choice affects several people, not just one. In my first (blind) playthrough, one of my favourite moments was when I had Nikki visit, and then Alexis turned up at the front door... with Layla. And just the way it was done as well, was excellent. I'm getting through the last of my expected saves now, skipping through until I reach new content, and the variation is great, with each save being a good one rather than the usual, where I'll have one or two favourites and the rest are just to see the different content.

oof yeah, going in blind into this one was an eye-opening experience for sure, had the same exact thing happen to me That was the point where I started the whole thing over and made a dozen+ saves, and that's still not covering every possible scenario

ive only played all the main paths at least once but I plan to make a crazy amount of saves for the future with all the combinations you can by mix and matching some of the girls just to see future content / drama or break ups with them if you play your cards right. I forget the number but I think I plan for something around 20-25 saves at least

Edit : I still never seen the scene where Alexis and Layla show up to the door haha my first time I got a different Alexis scene.

Those things are great, and not only the big "got caught" moments.

Things like Erynn keeping things distant(at least so far) with you if Alexis is an active relationship.
The fact that Val will also keep her distance if Layla is active, but doesn't give the same treatment to Alexis(straight up pressures you for a break up).

These are all things that make it worthwhile go through this game multiple times and explore the possible outcomes.

I didn't start over, but I will reject that save in favour of a dedicated one. I had already called the save Nikki, which was amusing to me, as I ended up getting shunned by everyone else in the end

I don't like to make saves for every little possibility, so I think just seven or eight girls for me, but I'm not clear on who will have a proper path available, from some of the less obvious ones (e.g., Elena and Valeria). And for that scene at the door, I may have been a bit untruthful at the athletics camp when having the discussion with Layla. But she's just too cute, so I didn't want to turn her away...

I wonder how that is going to play out in the future because at times it does almost feel like you are off Erynn's path if you are on Alexis's path and other times it doesn't

tbh im not sure how many of those 20+ saves I will do some I will some I wont but not gonna do it anytime soon gonna take my time making them that is for sure after all isn't like this game has 1 update left or anything so I got time to do it slowly.

Yeah I friendzoned Layla around the 1/2 way point of my first playthrough as I changed my mind who I liked. Not sure what paths you have played or not so far. So i'll put it in a spoiler. But regarding Elena I think she will get a proper path soon. Since you have to make Layla cry and break up with her to get on her path and then looks like you have to make things right with Layla before Elena will consider a relationship. Not sure about Val im sure she will since she is Nyx's favorite.

I think the main one for me is going to be the "help Erynn" or "stick to the plan" choice on my Erynn save (which is the one I'm playing currently). I was happy to get Erynn and Alexis back together on my Alexis path though.

It's a completely different take on Erynn, very little in common with the normal Erynn path...
She wants to be a good supportive friend, but at the same time she wants more...

Possibilities are endless here, i'm very curious on how that will play out down the line.

Can i say it? I want a fucking catfight!!! 2 BFFs grabbing each other by the hair lol.

yeah im gonna have to make a few extra saves because of that choice I think depending on the outcome of that decision. Erynn is tied for my #1 LI across all AVN's. Even still not sure what option is the best one for her path both seem they can be equally good or bad.

Can i say it? I want a fucking catfight!!! 2 BFFs grabbing each other by the hair lol.

I want that as well for different reasons tho I never really seen a catfight in a AVN yet or if I have I forgot lol. I'd lowkey hate to see it with Erynn and Alexis after they made up tho as much as I want to see it haha. So if it does happen I hope it happens and they forgive and makeup right after and not drag along a dislike for each other again and cause more drama. So I pretty much it's a heat of the moment thing and that's it.

she is still not on the supposed "official" LI list though. Plus that foreshadowing comment in the alley, I still think she could end up dead somehow.

o really didn't realize Val wasn't on the official list.

yeah, that one is tricky. But fuck no, I'm not making another dozen saves just for that. When we find out which choice is the better one I'll just switch the variables and that's that.

yeah i'm gonna wait as well I will change some saves around but not all when we find out.

 

[Elduriel]

Not sure about Val im sure she will since she is Nyx's favorite.

there is a screenshot somewhere in the thread from discord where she said official LIs are Cara, Nikki, Lexi, Erynn, Layla, Elena and Mel. I don't think I missed anyone, but for sure Val wasn't on it.

My take on that as well, see if one backfires, switch everything to the other.

Ps: Nyx herself said that she's gonna more or less even out the effects of that choice, originally one was going to backfire in a major way, but it was going to be too much work and slow things down too much.

You remember right, Val not LI... I saw the list too... And I don't remember the plan changing...

makes since too since Val really feels more like a side girl as well. but thanks yeah I don't know why I always thought I read it with her on that list probably cause early on I used to forget all about Mel since she isn't on my radar. So I guess I swapped the in my mind somehow.

how dare you Mel is the best of them. I still keep a clean save for her just in case, especially since she was made an "official" LI (I still don't trust Nyx on that though). I had one for Gabi, could have been interesting, but I won't keep that going, she is clearly a side girl.
