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

[MilesEdgeworth]

id do it just because I enjoy every scene that is with Tori.

I did not expect such a confession

 

[Kaskaze]

tbh im 50 / 50 on Zack when it comes to forgiving him or not. What he did is unforgiveable and I would never be friends again with him. Yet if I put myself in the MC's shoe's im an introvert , I probably would forgive him and I sure as hell don't have it in me to harm in even if I think deservers it. Be friends again ? No especially when there is alot of lovely girls around that are actual friends with the MC. At most I would be friendly towards him but never want to do anything with him if it's my choice.

So you can guarantee on saves that isn't my Canon / Main save Zack is 100% getting an ass whopping and not being forgiven cause if I wasn't an introvert it's what I would like to do to him.

In my case I would be able to forgive Zach for hitting me. But the fact that he said "you fatherless piece of shit" There is no option for forgiveness

So... What's the general consensus on the Ethan situation? Terrible plotline, or...?

Its not... terrible. But it is... horrible.



Like, I'm down with it conceptually. But the execution of it is just so laughable and dragged out and it ends up being more of a stain and a reason to dislike Erynn than a plus to her story.

Instead of activating protector mode to stop Ethan from fucking with Erynn, I end up activating "shut the fuck up" mode to stop Ethan from shitting up the story with his stupid face. I want MC to stop Ethan to get him out of the story, more than I want MC to stop Ethan to save Erynn from him.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

Good girl Layla always gives satisfaction XD


Only if Lexi is leading the confrontation XD
I can see the scene of Lexi scolding the MC and Erryn and Layla behind sad and silent

How dare you use nino brown for such evil

Yeah I agree with you and LSC82 that Lexi is the common factor here and perhaps Nyx should add an extra scene at the bar where she asks the MC what the hell he's playing at with Layla and Erynn. He either makes a decision or she will tell them both.

lol you made look if I made a typo or you edited it.

See I find what he said not as a big deal to me. Even if it's fucked up I find it much easier to get over some words than what he did with Ethan. I mean him saying that would be enough too not want to be his friend either as that means he has shown his true colors. I just find it more forgivable than what he did with Ethan.

 

[MilesEdgeworth]

the ethan storyline was clever when it was doing one thing. When it appeared that he was blackmailing erynn without even having the tape and just preying on her naivete, I thought that was a clever device. But once it was revealed that he actually had the tape, he just became a meathead not even worthy of becoming a credible villain.

How will that work when she doesnt even want to be in the same room as MC if he rejects her?

Even more reason for an angry Lexi to confront him. They still interact at the bar at the end of episode 12 even if she's pissed at him. Do it there.

If yall want to seperate erynn and layla best time to do so would be at school when erynn's a substitute. That would be the only real benefit to the stupid super hawt model wants to be a teacher storyline

Its kinda funny how Ethan actually backing up his credibility as a villain is one of the things that ruined his being a credible villain.

I was also hoping for a dramatic confrontation for an MC who has been romancing both and that's what I thought Nyx was building to and maybe she is. I think she feels like she hasn't given players an early "out" for the Layla and Erynn paths, especially because IMO it's quite easy to fall into their romantic paths. Check Layla out a few times? Boom you're on her path. Be slightly too friendly or flirty with Erynn, boom you're on her path.

So... What's the general consensus on the Ethan situation? Terrible plotline, or...?

Glad we're all on the same page (forum joke)
Any notes on Zack attack then?

imo the dumbass should go down with Ethan, though he is unaware of his crimes so I guess he won't, or do we think disappear from the roster completely as he brings literally nothing to the table as far as character motivations go?

Credit to the Korean Film I SAW THE DEVIL
- Put a sex tracker on Ethan and Zach.
- Every time Ethan and or Zach try to get laid by one of Ethan's stable of escorts or try to masturbate, show up and beat the shit out of them until they are unconscious. Cock Block them at every step of the way.

NEXT

1. Videotape Ethan getting raped by a rabid pitbull
2. Release the video on the internet

1. Screw Zach's sister Natasha (Credit to @LSC82)
2. Video tape it
3. Send him a video with Natasha's cum splattered, grinning face.

FINALLY

The Coup De Grace

1. Zach, bound and gagged, strapped to the front hood of his Zach Attack car.
2. Aim the car towards a breakaway brick wall with Ethan taped to the brick wall, right next to a ravine. A pound of plastic explosive is taped to Ethan's balls.
3. Douse the car and Zach with gasoline.
4. Turn the car on, put a brick on the car gas, set the car and Zach on fire.
5. Let the car burn a while as Zach screams in agony.
6. Send the car zooming towards Ethan and the brick wall.
7. Play a mini game to the detonate the plastic explosive at the exact moment the burning car and a burning Zach slam into Ethan before crashing into the ravine.

There's no way I'm seeing that spoiler. After valbitterb sent Zach's ass, I don't trust you guys

He's a one note villain, not very deep or interesting, doesn't feel scary or threatening either.

I feel like this plot is not the strongest point of the game(relationship stuff is the strongest point), it has been dragging on too long(my opinion is shaped by the passage of years), and it holds back the things i actually want to play.

Erynn will not come out of her shell fully while Ethan is still hanging around, this is why he needs to go asap.
And because Erynn doesn't come out of her shell, a whole set of girl vs girl confrontations gets pushed back because we are waiting to deal with Ethan.
Girl vs Girl confrontations is the special something that keeps me coming back to this game despite it's flaws, reboots... not the shitty police blackmail storyline.

So yeah, i'm happy Nyx promised he's going down soon, it already feels like i've waited too damn much.
Specially over a one note bad villain.

Its not... terrible. But it is... horrible.

Oh come on guys. Doesn't that face strike fear into your heart?

But yeah. In the pantheon of great and not-so-great villains, Ethan is one of the baby maggots growing on a piece of shit in the background.

im a biker, throwing the bike down is enough to punch him

We don't know for certain that it was Zach who pushed his bike over. My money is on Lucas (guy from the park) after he probably saw the MC with Layla and Elena in the morning at school. Most assume that it was Zach but it was likely a bait and switch.

Cough, cough. Would say kill him.

(Out of reactions)

LUCAS: I'll teach you for scaring my beloved Layla by vroom vrooming your ugly bike at her!

AVN Twist: I think someone wrote it in a previous page, that the big twist is that Nyx writes Lucas into becoming the greatest villain in all of AVN.
(EDIT: Was that you UncleFappy ?)

OR he just remains ... Lucas ... (who?)

 

[UncleFappy]

Jesus Christ! This guy has too much free time XD

I was thinking the same thing the first time Justaphase mentioned the bike might be because of Lucas.

Did the dude just fail out of college or something? Spending his time stalking Layla at school, stealing her hoodie while she trains, pissing around in the park on the school morning (when he and his goons smacked MC) and god knows what else.

Nah, that was someone else. I just pointed out we're still not safe from stupid drama even with Ethan's coming to an end.

 

[LSC82]

Even more reason for an angry Lexi to confront him. They still interact at the bar at the end of episode 12 even if she's pissed at him. Do it there.

This would give her something to do outside her route.
It would be a nice bonus for a character that basically disappears if you stop dating her.

I was also hoping for a dramatic confrontation for an MC who has been romancing both and that's what I thought Nyx was building to and maybe she is. I think she feels like she hasn't given players an early "out" for the Layla and Erynn paths, especially because IMO it's quite easy to fall into their romantic paths. Check Layla out a few times? Boom you're on her path. Be slightly too friendly or flirty with Erynn, boom you're on her path.

She has given a few outs with Erynn, but for whatever reason none with Layla(as it relates to Erynn).

In a ideal world we would have both these options, and a major confrontation to look forward to.

We don't know for certain that it was Zach who pushed his bike over. My money is on Lucas (guy from the park) after he probably saw the MC with Layla and Elena in the morning at school. Most assume that it was Zach but it was likely a bait and switch.

It would be a nice curveball when all of us immediately thought "Zach you son of a bitch".

Brings this Lucas guy back into the story, hopefully just so we can finish things with him.
Another plot that Nyx pretty much forgot btw.

Jesus Christ! This guy has too much free time XD

Definitely, spends all his time stalking... when Nyx finishes the remakes he'll be in the background on a bunch of scenes lol.

No arguments here.

He graduated HS last year, still obsessed with Layla.
Knows Darryl.
Not much characterization beyond that, college, work... nothing.

He's stalking Layla for sure, likely stole her sweater at the park and probably does god knows what with it. Probably one of those creeps with a shrine to her or something.
Imagine getting Ethan dealt with and then having to deal with a Lucas storyline instead. Nooooo!!
