So I just started this... the detail Jessy goes into is quite a lot. I'm not really against this in principle, I think it's important for stories to reflect the real world, fucking, grim shitshows.

But fuck me sideways... to go from a heavy and very graphic description of abuse to immediately planning a sexy meetup seconds later is just too quick. Nothing about that very explicit tale of abuse turns me on, in fact it turns me right off. To immediately switch to yay lets have sexy fun just doesn't work at all.

Besides the fact that the conversation has me completely disinterested in anything sexual with anyone. I know I don't want to continue to the next scene which is about to play out as I just won't be into it. Someone who's in that situation also isn't someone I want to sleep with. Shouldn't need to explain why. So I feel like the whole thing would have been far better for a character that isn't a major love interest. It feels wrong to be planning a sexy adventure with the same person.

I know a lot about abuse, have worked with it for years so I'm happy to see it included in stories. But I would like it to always be included with respect and this just feels very fumbled in that regard. It's written as if the moment the words are out, that's dealt with now, we can go back to the sexy fun times, like something that heavy doesn't require at least a moment to recalibrate.

Anyone else feel the same?

I didn't have any trouble sidestepping into the next topic either at the time. However, had she asked me for sex right after slicing off JD's cock, I would probably have good reason to pass on it..

Her abuse wasn't that heavy, or that graphically portrayed. It could have been *much* worse, and in that case it probably would have churned the stomach and put a lot of people off. As it was, not overly troubling at the time she told the story.

And it's not like she ended the conversation with, "Okay, enough of that. Let's fuck." She was telling Ryker about what happened, and the fact she had kept it from her mom, Tracy. She had already dealt with JD in her own way, and a substantial amount of time had passed since the last episode of abuse. She wasn't dealing with something that just happened yesterday, or last week, or even last month. The context of the conversation was Ryker demanding an explanation about why she wanted to leave with him so badly. I'm not saying it was easy for her to talk about, but she tells the story in order to get something she wants. I like Jessy, but she is definitely not so innocent that she won't do what it takes to get her way.

Nope I'm not gonna argue with you over that but its not quite like that the abuse is not fresh nor still on going.
Not to make light of it but as far as she seems concerened its done with atleast for now she just wants distance from him.
She no longer acts like a victim and even though she knows she was a victim she doesn't feel one anymore.
And that situation as you put it no longer exist's to repeat myself she delt with it.
She delt with it by herself that shows strength and resiliance on top of which she wants him to take her with him.
And I do take umbridge with the way you wrote " Someone who's in that situation also isn't someone I want to sleep with".
Sounds almost like you think she's not worth haveing sex with because she was a victim.
And I don't think thats what you meant.
So no I don't find it as strange as you do.

I am wondering if someone can help me I am playing the game with the newest update up to chapter 16 on the good path in a new playthrough and I cannot get past the early good guy ending no matter what my points are when I turn JD over to the police. It doesn't matter if my points are 5/5 good/bad 6/4 or 6/2 every single time the trailer burns and I get sent back to the main menu.

I finished the bad path which locked me out of many important social events and alot of things. Now on a new playthrough I cannot get past this trailer catching fire what do I need to do to reach episode 4. What specific dialogue needs to be chosen to trigger the flags to bypass this I tried 10 different times with different point setups only to watch the trailer burn and then be sent back to the main menu over and over again. I have been told that to get to sarah's party and other important key events you have to have jd arrested not killed. Maybe the developer changed something, because I can't get past the trailer burning and my game ending to even start a good playthrough. I will check back on this after I get home from work. Hopefully someone knows what triggers this or what conditions must be meet to proceed. 5/5 is a no go, 6/4 is a no go, 4/6 is a no go. Even 6/2 won't trigger the start to episode 4. Where is a guide just to get me past JD being arrested to proceed onto episode 4. Every single point combo I have tried has ended my game. There must be specific dialogue choices that trigger certain flags.

The trigger is to NOT turn him in. That's why.

So what? Wrap her up in bubble wrap and not let her live her life as she sees fit? She's a survivor; not some damsel in distress that needed rescuing nor some white knight you only get in Hollyweird and Hallmark movies. Not every victim of abuse is the same; they're all as unique as every other human on the planet. Even the most broken of people deserve to have a shot of what they consider a "normal" life to them.

The Good Guy, Bad Guy idea at the start is the confustion.
Theres really no such thing OBD had thought about it but changed his mind and will sort that out after it's finished.
But theres no real bad guy route after you leave there.
The Red Option then becomes Dont pick this unless you wan't you MC killed.

Its more a case of Villina choices v Man whore choices.
To leave the Caravan site Deal with JD yourself the important part is the Continue bit as opposed to the other one.
That one if you ignore the fact it says (Good Guy end).
The important clue there is the (END) bit.

I know I often pick M.M. up on what he posts.
But Its not because I don't like M.M. and honestly I never even considered ignoring him:unsure:,
Just because of his Rather fanciful sometimes slightly Dark, sometimes pervy, occasionally politicaly incorrect Imagination.
And despite having to put up with me occassional throwing spanners in his Plots he's never as far as I know.
Insulted me in his reply posts for when I do and honestly sometime what M.M. comes out with is entertaining.
And M.M. doe's not often true but once in a blue moon has a half decent arguments.:devilish:
Just don't let him give Nick Names. :devilish:
