VN Ren'Py Isabella - Chasing Shadows [Ch. 4.3] [badtimetales]

Yeah, the forced sex with Alex at the start could turn some people off heck usually that sort of thing annoys me too, but it was early in the story before the mc started building relationships with Alex or Isa, so I don't consider it a bad thing here.

And it fits with the mc's character at that point as well I mean he was just coasting along trying to shut his feelings off, but Alex helped him love again which is a part of the story I love.

I would do a lot things in a different way now, including not being in a "relationship" with Alex from the start. She could have helped the MC without sex. But the girls would be the same like they are now

Honestly, if I had the ability to influence you or if I were you... I wouldn't change a damn thing! The story rocks! Just the way it is!!!

Well said dude. As much as I love the thought of lesbian stuff I wouldn't even mind if scenes like that didn't happen or weren't planned for the throuple path because I play this for the story and the character development everything else is gravy.

Haha whenever I think about Dev's and their Electricity Bills this comes to my mind

The type of relationship that Alex and MC have happens, maybe, once in a lifetime. The odds of Isabella coming into their lives the way she did would be roughly the same as the odds the universe will implode tomorrow. What are the odds they would all develop an unconditional and unequivocal love for each other? It may be fantasy to think things like this really happen but, one thing is sure; everyone's smile gets brighter when they do. Nope, it happens the way it happens or it never happens.

I find, somewhat to the surprise of my libido, that I play most of these games to a much lesser degree for the sex than he stories, I know I've said that before. Sure, there are a few that are just lighthearted sex fun, but in that case it's well-made sex fun. Others are more about the story and the plot, about relationships and world building and so on. For those games, sex scenes are not really that important to me. Indeed, sometimes you suspect one is there just keep people happy, but that can have the opposite effect on me if it feels contrived.
And (needless) sex scenes takes away dev time from more important stuff!

 

[Finuee]

I'd say that's because sex is usually more about feelings and relationships than just the physical act.

And in the best stories, it is.

Definitely agree. I enjoy a good story far more. Often I find myself frustrated when a VN looks like it might be a good story and turns out to be another porno wrapped in a good description. I love sex, but animated sex doesn't do much for me. I'd rather an involved story, a few sex renders and move along with the story. Maybe I'm just boring in my old age haha.

 

[Joshy92]

Let's not go crazy here guys I still plan on shoving my tongue and nose directly up Alex's tasty flower as much as possible.

And Isa? well her turn will come don't worry about that.

Oh, yes. I've tried loads of games that looked promising but definitely left something to be desired. I'm sure many other sophisticated elder gentlemen (and ladies) have gone through the same. ;-)

And I'm absolutely with you on animations. I'd much rather have a few beautiful renders than an animation. It's not that I mind them, but a really good render is hard to beat, and something to rest your eyes on.

Well. That goes without saying, doesn't it? I'll even help them do that to each other too.

Till you get older and the days on this mudball get fewer and fewer then sex becomes more important.

One could say the same thing about relationships. So maybe priorities shift with age differently for different people. Who knows. I guess we'll see what each of us prioritize when/if we get older.

 

[burstadolla]

Can you date both of them? If how?

just don't break up with Alex when given the chance to stop things from getting serious. It hasn't gotten to the point with Isa yet as far as I can recall where you have to decide if you want to peruse her solo, with Alex ( Throuple) or just friends.

Ok that makes sense then. I thought by not breaking up with alex and some previous decision I got locked out of Isa route also.

The only "lock out" is Val (if you had been on her route) when you choose Alex.
Because Alex will have a hard time to accept Isa, but there is no way she accepts Val.

My priorities changed. Sex is still important but not as much as it was. A value relationships a lot more now though.
