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

[Maccabbee]

Thanks, not worried about the saves breaking. Just gives me a reason to go back and fall for Layla all over again...

I've played the other routes, too, even the as many girls as possible scumbag options...
The others have their charm, just not as 'feel good' as Layla or Laylena...

Just when playing Layla's routes, Iris is the one that hurts, causes conflicting emotions, because of timing and how it happens.
The others aren't nearly as difficult to justify passing up or moving on from for Layla.
Thank goodness IRL isn't this damn complicated...

Ideally, Layla, Elena, Valeria seems like it could work out; pretty sure it's not going to happen, but maybe it will, who knows...
Still, leaves poor Iris, who's clearly in love with the MC, and now has to find out about how Erynn ain't gonna happen...

Kind of funny I agree with your take on Layla yet I have a hard time enjoying her path and she ends up being my least favorite other than Mel , despite her being a really good character.

Yeah, I really prefer Alexis to Layla as a gf, but Layla is a fantastic character and makes a great friend. I really want to protect her. Alexis is more my partner in crime.

I also was broken with Iris after the flashback. She is so great. There is no perfect ending possible in this game, because I care so much about all the characters, LI or not, and with the backstories of the LIs in particular, multiple heartbreaks are inevitable.

Erynn, Alexis, Iris, Cara, Miri... They all have a legitimate claim on your heart, and if you pay attention, you already gave each of them a piece of your heart already.

Yeah even if I say Erynn is my favorite ( #1 in top 10 LI list) I have a hard time picking between her and Alexis who also makes it in my top 10 as well.

You took me on a roller coaster with this response.

Only day one of his nose boop ban and he's already losing his mind. I can't wait for day 7.

I love Layla also, she's a real sweetheart. Her path is one of the most pure and wholesome in the game if you focus solely on her. Then there's adding Elena to the mix, but there's a few scenes that makes it seem like the MC is favouring Elena which I'm not a fan of. Such as the MC covering Layla with his hand in a picture of the three of them, to show just him and Elena.
The Layla/Gabi run is pretty fun also, seeing the MC with Layla drives Gabi wild with jealousy. Gabi's path is kinda boring so far without adding Layla to it IMO.

You can hook up with Iris no matter who you are with in the last episode, except Alexis. Iris doesn't want to go further than kissing if you're with Alexis, though she is still tempted. Hooking up with her at the garage is pretty cruel though if you're not interested in her romantically IMO, as it's more than just casual sex to Iris. She still loves him.

As much as I think Iris will be a little disappointed about her and Erynn being sisters, she will get over it pretty quickly IMO. The MC however, is going to be harder for her to get over. Especially if the player fucked her in the last episode.

Layla is one I have a difficult time not self inserting on, because she reminds me of a very special girl from my past...
And the combination of Layla and Iris in this VN is way too similar to my IRL events...
Just be nice in this fantasy VN if it could work out to have both instead of having to choose...

 

[anonnyscouse]

I feel like being on the erynn path should eliminate you from the mel path since that would mean fucking up her relationship with her daughter.

By the same logic being on the Layla path should eliminate you from the Elena path because that would mean fucking up her relationship with her best friend.

Nyx went a different direction.

Thats because of everyone being thrown back onto Iris Path if you said you liked her hair due to variable changes needed, I'd see what happens after new episode with re-dcode this scene might not even show

MC having a crush on one girl while dating the other but at the same time stopping things before they go too far is in character for MC
Melissa going after her daughter's crush knowing that it will likely cost her her relationship with Erynn is not in character with Melissa.

But that's applying two separate criteria. On one relationship you're going by MC's character and on the other relationship you're going by the LI's character.

The flipside of the Elena situation is: is it in Elena's character to brazenly flirt back with a guy she knows her best friend is really into? I would argue no, but Nyx still had her do it. Consider that Val refuses to consider MC in that way if you're on the Layla path, that's how Elena should have been. So that lines up with your assessment of the Mel situation, but Nyx saw it a different way.

The flipside of the Mel situation is: is it in the MC's character to make a drunken mistake and fall into bed with a woman he's been flirting with for weeks even if it could hurt other relationships? Yes, it is. Just like it's in his character to flirt with multiple girls and wait too long to make a decision so he ends up hurting one of the girls, just like your assessment of the Elena situation.

That's because in one relationship the onus is on MC. Elena's willing to eat her feelings and let layla and MC proceed even if she might not be on board with it, while in the second relationship, the onus would be on Melissa accepting the relationship to proceed. But even if we wanted to attack that relationship from the MC's pov, that would mean MC finally gets the dream girl that he has always had feelings for just to blow it by going after her mom?

Name one other drunken mistake that MC has done on any path. MC pretty much lives in the bar at this point and he has yet to have made a drunken mistake until such time as it's convenient to the plot (provided that's what happened).

Banging Gabi was a drunken mistake. Well, a not-mistake mistake.

better than spending the night with Zack at least

I wouldn't say Elena was brazenly flirting, if anything her connection to the MC happened against her better judgement.
She hasn't done anything and despite this, she is still uncomfortable with the situation, unwilling to screw over her friend.

Yes, on one side we have the actions of the MC, being attracted to 2 girls, girls who are sometimes close to each other... right up his wheelhouse.

On the other hand we have how these girls react to his approach, Elena stops herself because of Layla, Val stops herself for Layla, Iris stops herself for Alexis, Erynn stops herself for Alexis...
Melissa... well...

Banging Gabi was a drunken mistake. Well, a not-mistake mistake.

A drunken mistake, that became a sober mistake... and another sober mistake... and attacks of jealousy... the mistakes keep going

You're supposed to learn from your mistakes but I feel like it's gonna take a lot of mistakes for me to finally get it.

im learning from mine right now MiltonPowers took my nose boops away for a week. I don't know if I will follow through and learn from it

The hell? Are you even gonna be Dess after a week of no nose boops?

You're gonna break Erynn's nose next week.

but where is the fun in that when it comes to drama

there'll be plenty of drama if they find out that mc has banged gabi.

 

[hakuna-matata]

It's certainly a dangerous step to take on the Erynn path.


Melissa and Erynn uniting would be such bullshit.

Melissa is no victim, she should look in the mirror and take some responsability.
She's the adult in the room, she knows how her daughter feels and what this will do to her...

Nyx loves to give a free pass to the ladies while the dude faces judgment(with good reason, not saying he should be given a pass).
Both sides should face judgement for this one (if/when it happens).

Not only that, she's know him since he was a baby. At some point, she probably even changed his diaper. It's grooming 101. How do you have some type of attraction to person whom you've known since he was a newborn? It's sickening when you look at it from a logical point of view.
