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

[LSC82]

my next messy pairing will be an attempt to have 2 pairs of sisters on the hook. Erryn-Iris-Cara-muscle mommy at the same time. If I can pull that off, it would be legendary.

It will be fun to have 2 sisters conflicts at the same time

I have a similar plan of doing ASP and NSP on the same save, double backstabbing sisters

Interesting idea. I’ll just do Iris and Erynn. I don’t want to pair Muscle Mommy + Cara because, first of all, I couldn’t break Muscle Mommy’s heart. And Cara, for me, is the weakest character, so I’m not interested in going through her route.

The only way to do Cara vs Nikki is (presumably) with NSP, a good reason for you to experiment with the Cara route.

 

[Kaskaze]

Is Cara weak or is it that Nikki is just so strong?

I guess both options are possible. Cara is, for me, a very bland character. Nothing she does or says draws me in. Muscle Mommy is the best.

Maybe you’re right. If that route gets expanded, it will be worth considering

I think Cara is just Meant to be the Embodiment of an average young girl. She is just average in general. She likes shopping and watching reality TV. She has no real hobbies. Her personality is pretty plain. She shows some growth towards the end of the current path and maybe she will gain some substance as she grows up. I wish Brooke was more of a main girl than her. I like Mommy Brooke.

Is Josy transformed in a ginger ?

I think she is even more plain than Josy. At least Josy has defining characteristics like talking to much and drama with her maya relationship has good social skills and makes friends easy. Plus Josy has a moment of realization and self reflection. Also I think Cara dyes her hair. I don't think she is naturally a red head.

Her skin is maybe too tanned for a red head, she's not the typical "super white with freckles" girl(then again the same applies to Adriana and Brooke, Nyx isn't a big believer into Redheads are always super white).
And she's not particularly outdoorsy to justify her tanned skin.
But i think you are suppoused to ignore the skin tone and consider her a natural red head, Nyx even gave her a redheaded father(who is super white) to make it more logical.

Even in an earlier flashback she already had red hair.


PS: Nikki using the hair style Erynn has now.
While Erynn's "messy" hair is similar to Nikki's normal style

You don't really have to -- you can simply collect enough points with her so she's past the NSP threshold but not enough to trigger "choose one of us" scene, meaning you start simply as Cara's bf and Nikki supports this pairing without any hurt feelings. The simplest way to get that is to pick all +relationship options but not to share bed with her after the "make the ex jealous" outing (leave at the last moment) and join Cara in the changing booth during the last outing.

And Cara, for me, is the weakest character, so I’m not interested in going through her route.

Cara really suffers from not having any defined interests imo. I don't know if this is intentional or the author simply didn't have any idea for her character, but even if she's supposed to be "average girl" stereotype then as said "average girl" she'd be normally interested in some kind of music etc, i.e. stuff that MC connects with Val over. Even her shopping fixation could be utilized better, as basis for some experiments with modeling or whatever. But she just gets the short end of the stick.

Still, the interactions with her you get later in the game are pretty cute and worth checking out, imo.

I just know a few latina girls that dye their hair like that. It is a pretty common style. Pretty sure Coach mike has brown hair.

Melissa explicitly asks Cara during her visit if it's her natural hair color and Cara confirms. You think a skilled hairstylist (who then gets to cut Cara's hair) wouldn't notice if it was a dye? Or that Cara would lie about it for no reason?

It's pulling a little bit towards red for me.
I do agree that she can look like someone who paints her hair, but i believe the game doesn't want you to think that.
Same thing with Adriana.

PS: Mike is the one who colors his hair... he's 40 something... where are the whites sprinkled in?

Forgot that one

Or maybe we’re both wrong and Cara will turn out to be the best one — we’ll only realize it in the next updates.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious in shots where there's some actual light:



It's quite too far on the reddish side for just brown.

I was just guessing. Been a while and wasn't sure of exact dialogue. I do know girls that look like her with dyed red hair. I haven't seen many with that kind of tan with it though IRL not really talking about just the game. I don't remember that line when she visits I guess I forgot.

Why are we even talking about Mike? Dylan is the best, after all.

The authors writing style: "101".

Isn't it honored tradition for this game to pursue more than one RO? Dylan/MC/Coach (Mike) drama go.

 

[glaslow]

I can't get behind Dylan cause he tried to steal me from Alexis.

I agree that her skin is very tan for a read head, but... in game you are suppoused to buy that it's natural.
Same thing with Adriana, even more of a latina chocolate skin for her.

If Nyx had made her redheads in the "Sage style" no one would argue about

Just in the context of him and his daughter... not a "who is the better bear?" competition

It's not his fault you've been sending him mixed signals~
