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

[Jarulf]

how dare you Ethan is a loveable person. You just want to hug him like a teddy bear then you start to squeeze harder and harder until he can't breathe. Then you squeeze so hard his eye pop out of his socket right before his head pops while the rest of his body is crushed and you are left with a lifeless corpse of Ethan to get rid of.

Yeah, I could do that. Wouldn't have to see more story about him then (though I guess his dad might come after me if he cared enough)

 

[jadepaladin]

You can mostly do both. Lexi's path and finish first. I've done it twice. If I recall correctly, Lexi is a bit annoyed in text, but you don't lose any relationship points. So you can have mostly have your cake (finish first) and eat it (Lexi) in the race. You just miss out on one Lexi scene.

I think the only thing you lose is meeting Iris earlier? Isn't that around the same time period as the wig/Adriana scene too? I've ran so many paths everything blends together.

I love this game, but the one thing I really don't like is Ethan and the whole plot around him.
Not because he is an evil bastard (he is), but because I just don't find the plot particularly interesting. He isn't interesting. I suppose he is there to add drama and tension to the story, but I wish Nyx had come up with something else.

There, just wanted to get that off my chest. I feel better now.

Not to mention that, as the good Maviarab said, it's a stupid plot. Erynn does topless photo shoots, the possibility of becoming a teacher is as good as dead. Plus with all the laws for revenge porn, stalking and blackmail; Ethan is professionally dead

 

[Jarulf]

We need some sort of flowchart to keep track of all the paths and relationships. And I'm only playing a few

Not even just that Dr, even if tastefully done...she is also escorting (albeit without sex but no education board anywhere would care about that). All it takes is one wrong person being in that room at the club....see her leaving...etc etc....

There's that part as well

 

[Jarulf]

And the whole thing distracts from all the fun things in the game, the relationships and connections. The different characters etc. Sweet, sweet luvin.

Anyway, I'm too sleepy now and off to bed

I didn't redo my saves yet just did speed runs to check out the update but I plan to replay this when I can get a break from AVN's I been wanting to play for a bit. When I do that gonna keep track of the saves in a spreadsheet. I think I have something like 20 + planned combinations of saves. Now not gonna play all of that probably just redo all my solo saves and a Erynn / Val , Erynn / Alexis , Alexis / Val save at least. Might include a Erynn / Alexis / Val. Maybe when the next update gets closer might do some combo's with the Nikki and Cara but I don't think we will see them for at least a few updates don't think they are coming to town for at least a few days.

If the Erynn surprise is what we assume it is probably will wait till after the next update to do some Erynn / Layla / Gabi saves.

Unless I missed something she ain't showing nips which is all a school cares about, unless she's trying to be a religious school teacher which I doubt.

At best, all they have is her hanging out in a club. A school would legit get sued to shit for firing her for that.

My big problem with the Ethan storyline is that he legit isn't a threat. We've beaten the shit out of him numerous times and there are a lot of legal ways to deal with him. He feels forced in the game. The game does fine without him. If he and Zach were to vanish, I doubt anybody would care. Unless his Patreon customers love that story, we'd have to suffer through that story, but I doubt they do.

 

[Dessolos]

How I see it Ethan was there to give Erynn a reason to have some issues and create some character deveolopment for her being a slow burn character. But as of this update and the last he has served his purpose and is no longer needed for her character

You've never had a dealing with a school board I presume? Those cowardly mofos will run for the hills at even the slightest hint of controversy. Sex tape being leaked, history of escort work there's no way she's being taken on as a teacher. It could even ruin her modelling career, especially with any big name brands.
As much as I would love the Ethan storyline wrapped up as soon as possible, it's not going to be.

The initial setup of his abandoning her over a misunderstanding and dealing with the consequences upon his return could've been explored. It would've been a better jumping-off point than the forced revenge porn plot, where you have to throw your mind out the window to accept.

I'll join the party and say that i agree that Ethan is a poor antagonist too, he's a punching bag and even his henchman know he's pathetic.

In a game that gives us good believable characters... we end up having to tackle this blackmail plot that obviously should be handled in court, but since this is a game we have to play hero in a silly plot that only serves to slow things down.

I can't express how much i would rather be done with this and focussing on relationship drama instead.
Nyx knows that's what people like, her show within the show "Entanglement" being all relationship drama, cheating, pitting friends vs friends... yet can't bring herself to put an end to this.

Ps:Zane is already a better antagonist without even trying.

I agree besides blackmail rarely ever works well at least in AVN's. It's one of those plot points id stay away from in a AVN either it gets drawn out to long or plot holes.

Nope. That's later.

It's the date where you go to Lexi's dorm when Iris is dancing there. Lexi then leaves and they go to MCs house where he plays the song he wrote about Erynn. They then have a lewd scenes. Fade to black and it's over.

At best, you have someone who can't teach little kids. There are currently teachers out here with only fan accounts. It likely depends on the state. As for a modeling career? Doubtful. That would be a political nightmare for any company that dared not hire her over that.

And pretty much every single one 'has' actually been sacked once it came out Miles. Please.,..you know what would happen (especially in the States, even more in the States) as well as anyone else here. Really not sure why you're trying to dismiss something a simple 10 second Google search would prove.

Her teaching career is already dead in the water becauase nobody (with the exception of maybe teenage boys) would ever take her seriously and no school/college/uni in the world wants a nice teacher scandal.

Where I come from (Italy) every time something similar happens (homemade porn or nude photos) the story hits the national news with pissed off parents

There's a difference between fashion modelling which is considered a respectful profession even if skin is shown and a sex tape.

As for the escorting, that would only come out if Ethan is able to convince one of the customers to come forward (and risk arrest themselves) and call out Erynn as an escort, otherwise she just happened to be in a public bar where some girls were doing escort work.
