The story is still coming along, but it has gotten better about the early game being more diverse in the last six months. It also looks like the sex system is getting a revamp for the next version, due out in a week or so, that may make the early game more interesting!
Okay I poked around in the code, and there is currently a typo that will keep the event from triggering. Roughly line 74 of cousin_role.rpy need to be change from...
def cousin_boobjob_ask_requirement(start_day, the_person):def cousin_boobjob_ask_requirement(the_person, start_day):
After you've had them for a little while, you'll have the option to give them a performance review. You can fire them there.
There is also bug when you've advanced a relationship to girlfriend and you want to breakup , (NOT modded game),
Just tell the man the truth. This is worst by far. Not even being mean.
You can have your opinion, but I find LR2 fun meanwhile. If you call it grindy then you simply do not understand the mechanics (took me a while, too, but if you get it it's far from grindy). Models could be nicer, but there is a variety of them, and I personally find the prettier ones quite, well, pretty. They all look kind of the same, but that comes from the engine used I guess.
There is expectation and there is reality. You obviously expected it to be a pick-up - the reality is it isnt mechanics wise but story wise. Telling otherwise is neither true nor helpful.
Don't let them do/wear things they don't like. Later in the game make a serum that boosts happiness and set that as daily dose, and you will never have trouble again. My employees all have happiness around 1,000 in average.
That part is actually one of your daily/general goals to fulfil in Lab Rats 2.
It's, however, a bit ridiculous that you must hire a person for, say, a research position, not knowing if she likes or hates working there. I can understand that she would not reveal if she likes or dislikes creampies, but anything work related should really not be subject to a matching business policy...
Its a design mechanics called 'progression'. Without any policies you are basically forced into accepting employees on a hunch. You can remedy that by small-talking with them which takes time out of your daily schedule. With more info on each of your employees handling them becomes easier and more reliable thus giving you more time during the day. With more income you can buy policies that will show more info on each employee and also give you a larger pool to draw from.
I know how the mechanics work, I already played the latest and previous releases three times. However, it is a pain in the ass if you have a company that you can not bring into life only because you cannot do anything else than small-talking your girls happy so that they do not quit as soon as being hired. Not to mention that there are also those girls that hate small-talking. Having donte that one time too often, therefore I chose the save&reload approach. Game should be fun, after all.
I was purely referring to how the game is designed now but i can relate to your wish. Maybe you should voice that to Vren directly as an improvement suggestion describing your notion like you do here
As I wrote, I played through the game three times already (having a start from scratch an restart because of bad luck even more often), so you might guess that I really kind of like itI was purely referring to how the game is designed now but i can relate to your wish.

As posts are read by others too i pointed out how the mechanics work and their intention in the scope of the design of the game. Wasnt meant to berate you. I personally never had the problem with girls trying to quit - so my reply was most definitely a bit biased as i tend to play games using what is provided to me and not trying to circumvent things.
In terms of game development and design he made a smart choice which i can totally be behind. You start a business with very limited knowledge as a leader. The income can either be used to pay more to your employees to keep them happy, be used to buy policies that prevent the 'secrecy' of likes and dislikes and there are various other ways actually to prevent that dilemma. Each way either costs you money or other resources like time and/or effort. Having people apply in general and not for a particular job is also a design decision i simply take as it comes with the game - so i adapt my strategy accordingly. Since there are actual ways to exploit dislikes not having them apply to a specific job actually makes a lot sense in the current design.
I personally would not agree to that notion. In games there is usually 2 ways to go: randomness or logic based mechanics. Anything logic based will be cracked /deciphered eventually by a human being and then capitalized on by the player. That is the stage where you feel it is too easy - but the fun is usually the way from zero to having cracked the logic thus giving a feeling of achievement. A newer player will feel like being stuck in the process of decrypting/cracking the logic behind the whole thing but will also eventually find out about them and apply a different set of subsets and achieve the same in the end.
I for one, play a character that is quite unlike myself, so I concentrate on the charisma stat a lot, so in the early game, complimenting all my employees daily more than suffices to keep people happy enough unless seriously misplaced, and then can be moved to another department. And in the latter games I give them drugs that make them deleriously happy with my tyrrany. Also majoring in foreplay is a good idea, I find.
