Nice clear write up, thanks.We have Freaking Zo, now Zach will forever be Zacha for me. It fits his character more. (And retarded, immature, backstabbing, douche bag incel is several mouthfuls.)
Justaphase and LSC82 have already done good breakdowns.
I would add:
- Don't look at Val's other pics on her phone without her permission. Val doesn't like it and that usually means a 4 RP deduction.
- Don't look at Val's half-naked body when you switch underwear during Truth or Dare. (I don't know if the game still penalizes you, but during update 8, you would also lose 4 RP.)
- After they lose the track meet bet with you, you make Layla and Val run topless around the track. Do not turn around to check them out. (I don't know if the game still penalizes you, but before, you would also lose 4 RP.)
- Basically, don't behave like a creep towards Val. Henceforth, choose all positive choices and actions towards Val.
VAL'S TELLS
The signs that you're on the right path to a relationship with Val:
- When Tori asks Val who she would want to sleep with, Val answers Darryl. When Tori asks who else, Val won't answer. She will tellingly look at the MC and Layla laughing together. The dialogue line will be the ellipses "..." (Nyx uses those ellipses when the characters have no words to express themselves, or are feeling mixed, conflicting, intense or overwhelming emotions.)
- When Val visits you in your room and sleeps over, she will kiss you goodbye on the cheek. (That's a typical tell for the other ladies as well.)
- When you're playing around with Layla beside the pool, Val is lying down on a pool chair. Val will look at both of you with some longing. The ellipses will appear again for her line of dialogue. " . . . "
- When you hug and kiss Layla before her race, Val will make a face which I interpret as her jealous or displeased face
- When you help Val get some soda and chips for the party, you'll tease her about falling over while is carrying the sodas. She retorts. You'll say don't worry, I'll catch you again if you fall (referring to catching her after she fell in your lap on the bus.) She gives you a look of longing again. Her dialogue line will be the ellipses "..."
- Truth or Dare Game Tells
- Val offers to switch underwear with you
- Val licks your face
- Morning after the Truth or Dare game, you are in between Val and Layla sleeping in bed. Val has her right leg draped around your body. When Zach wakes you up to go and talk somewhere, Val wakes up. She calls out your name. She looks at you with a look of "Don't leave."
- Back at school, when Val wears a skirt, you get to tell her that she looks good. She thanks you. (If I'm not mistaken, on a friends only path, you don't get to tell her.)
- Before Zach brings you to Ethan and his gang's ambush spot, you and Val tease each other, and flirt in the hallway. Val sticks her tongue out at you in a playful way.
- Val helps you escape from the ambush.
- You have the choice to kiss Val after you get away from the ambush.
- After your jog with Val and Layla, at the sports wear store, Val will send you a dressing room selfie of her wearing a swimsuit.
- You will get a choice to take more pictures with Val in the photo booth where some fun stuff happens.
- You get to fool around with Val when you bump into her jogging in the park.
- The rest of the scenes should be unlocked from here on.
VAL'S RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE OTHER LADIES
Layla - Completely blocks Val. Val will not betray a (new) friend.
Lexi - Val seems to admire Lexi but has no problems stealing you from her. If you don't break it off with either of them, your last chance will be to do a horrible brush off with Val at the coffee shop. This path alone plus Val will have the most Val scenes.
Erynn - You'll have to choose between either of them for the beach date. This either loses a lot of RP or at least locks you out of the relationship with Erynn as LSC82 said. So far, the two ladies are not aware of each other as a threat.
Elena - To be on the Elena path, you need to be on the Layla path, so Val is still indirectly blocked
Melissa - no problems here ... not yet.
Cara - no problems here ... not yet.
Nikki - no problems here ... not yet. They do bump into each other in the park and size each other up like two lionesses. (If you prefer Val to Nikki, help Val to her feet instead with a surprised and questioning Nikki looking on.) This path, combined with the Lexi romance path and Layla friend path will give you the most Val scenes.
Gabi - no problems here ... not yet. She is possibly the friend of Val's mom which would lead to messy consequences later on.
Iris - no problems here ... not yet.
Tori - Stay the hell away from her. She blocks many paths.
I have a major problem in the game in that I feel that I have to treat all the girls (except Tori) nicely. I want my MC to be a nice guy. A slut, maybe, but a nice guy. Nyx punishes me for it by making being nice a trigger for relationships without actual choices. I don't think that's a bad thing, if you are nice to everyone, and go with the flow, things happen. I hate that I'm going to hurt my friends/lovers/etc.
For your last point: anyone who likes Tori gets what they deserve, I guess?
