Good point and I must say... Melissa's ass is minty fresh.
- Thread starter 7767
- Start date
First off, lets agree that this is an AVN.
At the end of the day this is a conversation about fictitious characters and not real people.
This all seems to have started because I ended a post with:
She(Erynn) just seems way too needy for making poor life choices all around and is holding the MC up as her white knight to save her from bad choices.
I most likely did not clearly state that for this whole I am being specific about the time frame of the MC and Erynn leading up to the recollection of 5 years prior and up to the reveal of the blackmail plot.
I have only been speaking of these two(MC and Erynn) only up to that time frame specifically.
So when I made that comment, this was where my head was.
Now to directly respond:
I think aggressive is overstating it a bit.
Is MC confused? Yes. Angry? Yes.
At this point, from is perspective he has a right to be upset after the last couple of days:
Erynn storms out of her apartment (after rifiling through MC phone, lets not forget that but thats also dependent on your playthrough) then kicks him out without explanation (channeling her inner MC)
Then she sets up two separate meetings that she cancels on MC without explanation (while she is justified as this is a direct result of the blackmail), but the MC still has no idea whats going on.
Is he quick to react and be a bit condescending, yes. I just don't see it as aggressive.
No disagreement.
All I have ever said about Erynn is she is dangerously naive and a little immature(and even this I'm willing to drop, because sans adults/teachers/parents, there's Elena, Nathan and then everyone else at different levels of immaturity.)
I stand by that belief about her (up to the point of time I am referencing in game).
Let me define how I view dangerously naive: from Quora:
- Wildly naive implies that the person has an innocent or overly simplistic understanding of the world, lacking awareness of its complexities or potential dangers. This can lead to making poor decisions based on an unrealistic view of situations.
The dangerous part; is because of the blackmail that Ethan is a part of. While he is no mastermind, we know he is becoming unhinged and represents danger. We have yet to see how dangerous he can be during this timeframe, its still an unknown.
After doing some research (and I am willing to be corrected if I am wrong), from everything in game it appears that the blackmail plot has been going on for more than 2 years, and possibly up to 3 full years.
Only in the last year has Ethan gotten involved at the modeling agency, and during this time it seems his behavior is directly correlated to the escort side of things, and it changes when Ethan is made aware that MC is back in town.
Erynn has been in this position for 2-3 years and failed to ask for help from sources who would be totally on her side and would have helped her (Alexis, Melissa come to mind). Whether this would lead to resolution or not cannot be known.
Now if Erynn had mentioned to MC when she is telling him about the blackmail that she didn't want to expose anyone to the potential danger, then I would completely understand that stance and respect it.
She never even brings that up though. She brings up how: "... if that video ever leaks, I can say goodbye to my teaching career..."
What?!?!
You don't have a teaching career. It's an unrealized dream. The potential is there, but at what cost? Your diginity? Your self worth?
She is worried about this supposed career that does'nt exist. This is a flaw in thinking on her part that I am perplexed about.
Now, this is all just analysis on the character.
For whatever reason this somehow has become personal, when that has never been my intent.
I am only interested in discussing the complexity of the characters, especially the flaws, and I think it does Nyx a disservice to not acknowledge the flaws, because that's what makes this game so intriguing and fun to talk about. There are subtle layers for all the characters.
Erynn the character is still a great friend (MC's best outside of Nathan) and a better one than MC deserves.
But the situation she brings to the table is going to be dangerous for someone in MC's life, and that is a result of the choices Erynn has made (and that's probably the complexity Nyx is going for, which is a good thing.)
Again, I may have failed to identify the time frame I was specifically referencing, and for that, all I can say is sorry.
But to answer your statement:
Forgiving Alexis is a choice you get to make.
Unlike with Erynn, who MC never gave a chance to explain 5 years prior, you can choose to do things differently with Alexis and not make the same mistakes as in the past.
That's what I choose to do. I will say I think its portrayed a little too easily.
MC should actually make Alexis fix things with Erynn first before they resume a relationship.
I feel like the forgiveness scenes are both rushed and cuts short some drama that could determine if this is a real relationship or an infatuation/jealousy streak that Alexis exhibits.
Alexis has flaws, but she owns them (she has to, since you catch her in it.) when confronted.
Like Erynn with the blackmail, Alexis with the lie began to snowball which is why she never came out and dealt with it. She knows she screwed up which is why she's dead set about not making the same mistake with Layla.
I'm tough on Erynn because I want to like her. But shoe comes off as a victim (and keeps herself there) rather than someone who has been victimized (has done her best to fight against it, but not able to get clear of it). It's a subtle but clear distinction that changes the perception of who the person is.
She would come across 1000 times better just from this small difference.
And on every path I always help her. She is a good friend and no one deserves to be assaulted/abused. But that doesn't equate to trust of the heart.
That's fair. I enjoy good conversations and debating the complexity and layer of the characters. But I never lose sight of the fact that this is a story - and a wonderfully devious one.

I'll explain why it's not pleasurable debating with you.
It's because you say judgemental shit and when you get called judgemental, instead of admitting you deny it and say "i'm not judgemental, i'm just holding her accountable", as if that's not judging(and condemning) someone for their decisions, it's a bitch move, don't be a bitch.
Your reactions are also wildly unbalanced depending on wether the fictional character in question floats your boat or not, but you can't grasp/admit that.
This is the truth isn't it?
Alexis set a strong first impression on you, you like her, so you swallow her bullshit.
Erynn set a shitty first impression(i didn't like her coming out of nowhere too), sounded pushy and needy, so you judge her, and try to justify your already set made decision.
You say you want to like her, but it really doesn't look like you are trying very hard when you want her to be a completely different person/character from who she is.
You are a "first impressions guy" ain't that right? Said that yourself...
Besides blondes not being your thing.
I don't even feel like addressing the rest, because it's the same shit you already said and it's walking around in circles(or banging my head against the wall).
All i'm gonna say is i take people(treating these fictional characters as if they were real people that i am friends with) for who they are, not for who i wish they could be.
Here's the good part, i'm not big on holding grudges so just like i didn't hold a grudge against Erynn
, i won't hold this against you, so you and i may start over.

The brain is capable of fixing small typos and misplaced words. It's why I barely notice most typos. Short of someone having a stroke while posting, I can probably make it out.You understood that?
Unrelated...I almost swapped Dylan and Layla's spots. Then I realized I don't think we've seen Dylan's ass at all, even clothed.
