I don't understand the hate people have for Alex. I normally hate starting with a gf/wife, but Alex is awesome. Isa, well, not so much for me. I'm still a bit behind and probably won't catch up for awhile. But I'm also behind on several other games that I play.
Well, everything has been said about Alex.
People love her or hate her and even some people who love her don't like her hairstyle.

For Isa it's a bit unfair, as her character building isn't finished yet. Which is clearly a mistake on my side.
But I think it's clear until now that she isn't the damsel in distress as most people saw her at the beginning ;)

MC/Isa and Isa/Alex relationship will improve in the next update and with that Isa's character will evolve.

I know. My comment was more of a: "How dare they not like her." :ROFLMAO: I'll stick with my Alex solo path.

I think my favorite is clear until now. Yes, an author/dev should never tell what his favorite is, but that's a bit late to hide I fear
You even name the game Isabella, I wonder who is your favourite? :unsure:

I don't understand the hate people have for Alex.
Someone hate Alex?! People are weird. Even though I don't get it, some people are preferring Bella over Alex, I am not okay with it but I do understand. But hating her? Really!

I don't know either, Alex is like a pretty, small, hurt, little kitten that we are enjoying bringing back to life. It is incomprehensible having the heart to wound her further. To me.

Peace :(

Yeah I know. I wanted to play both the solo paths but I just couldn't do that to Alex. I just want to wrap her in a blankie, put her to bed, snuggle her to sleep and then go hump the shit out of Isabella :LOL:

Isa will have her part, both in the relationship (if wanted) and the story.
With the "favorite" I meant the paths, I'm ok with the solo routes, but the three together is clearly my choice.

Asking which girl I like more is impossible to answer.
Both ladies are "created" from girls I knew (visual and character) and I wouldn't be able to make a decision in real life.
They are complete different, but for me that's what they make both very interesting.

But I think Badtimetales will do it justice here

He has already shown he is a very good writer
:O

Thank you, I'm trying to do my best ;)

Don't let her hear that or she will show her claws ;)

I admit at first I was hesitant about the throuple too
I normally only like throuples if the girls are already in love and in a relationship before the mc meets them
But I think Badtimetales will do it justice here

Yes, he has special and rare gift for character creation. Yes, the graphics too. But I mean the real character, their reactions, their personality, their quirks.

Even the male characters.

Alex and even Isa, that is only starting to be fully fleshed out, are very special.

Look, I can imagine Alex in bed, after sex, relaxed but energetic, telling us (me and Isa) a story, giggling and kicking her feet in the air on the funnier parts. I can hear her running barefoot in the house taunting Zeus, maniacally laughing, then running to Isa that is drying her hair in the Bathroom, hug her from the back whispering something that makes Isa kiss her.

BTT makes me feel like I've lived with them for real.

Peace :)

You are telling me that there is a real life, flesh and bones Alex walking around? Our world has been blessed by a real Alex?

Yep, somewhere in Norway (or was it Sweden?) now, don't have any contact anymore, her new "lover" didn't like me, no idea why. :ROFLMAO:
Body and character are the same, just long blond hair ;) (or better: I used her for the Alex in game)

Good writers borrow, and they write what they know. My favourite fantasy writer told me that. I don't know if he was right or wrong, I just know if I can immerse myself in a story and feel apart of the story and not just a bystander, I'm happy. After playing this I'm happy.

Does she look like Alex (if she's here in Sweden I may have to keep an eye out for her ;) )?
realalex.png

That's very close to the real Alex a few years ago ;)
(I only removed the piercings and changed the hair from my Alex character)
Natural hair color is more like her eyebrows.

I don't see Alex bending to new lover's will though. :confused:
Big Love and so on, you know how it is. :rolleyes:
As long as she's happy it's all good. ;)

That's right, Alex... even a badass needs a hug once in a while.:cool:

I'm with you BTT... I want them both and could not tell either one, "no, I don't want to be close to you." I love them both so I will have both. I don't even care how the other paths look. I'm only playing the one path with both Alex and Isa.

Alex started as "the rebound girl" after MC's fiancé died tragically. However, Alex is such a true friend, affectionate lover and wonderful human being that MC can't help but fall in love with her... I know I did and would IRL. Alex is an exceptional blend of sweet and spicy as BTT's images above indicate with badass Alex needing and receiving a loving hug and still being badass... sweet and spicy.:love: She's also rather sexy too!:devilish:

Then there's Isabella... the gorgeous goddess... Isa defies the standard image of the stuck up, self centered model with a sweet, kind and generous personality that makes her irresistible! Good thing for MC that Alex and Isa actually hit it off and like each other which means that this three way, polyamorous relationship stands a solid chance of working out. That makes papa very happy:love::love::love::love::love: And yes... Isabella is drop dead gorgeous, solar flare hot and super sexy!:devilish:(y)

I love them both so I will have them both. The rest of you can make up your own damn minds. Break the girls hearts if you must. Just don't expect me to agree. I've been silent in this forum lately because all I see is "I don't like Alex this..." and "I don't like Isa that..." and it's all hogwash! Garbage! Get over yourselves! No one wants to hear your sour opinions, especially not me! This is an exceptional AVN! IMHO, badtimetales is among the top first time AVN devs of all time! Thank you for such a wonderfully made game, my friend!

Adventure ever on, Phat;)(y)
