I hope they keep Megan as the main LI, although, with how the intro went I don't think that will be the case. Or maybe, just maybe, we finally get to choose and get multiple routes!

This whole S3 E1 playthrough i was thinking to myself ''where did i see that grandpa before?'' and then it hit me when i saw that last scene.
The grandpa is his neighbor. If I remember correctly he beets the sh*t out of MC in S1 or S2, after MC complained about the noise in the morning.

Same, I think her story is the best and most emotional of all, even if she's a bit self obsessed at times.
Jess ... no question about her hotness factor, but there's nothing really personal going on.
Amy and Ellie are good fillers, but a bit too generic. Ellies 'geek' factor is hardly believable, and not just since she accepted a costume that was bought in a store. True LARPers build their costumes themselves.
Don't really care about the rest (including Elizabeth), the one who could vanish instantly from the game without me noticing is Angel.

Dark souls II scholar of the first sin is 18 gb, this game is also 18gb. Why do Ren'Py game get so heavy ?
game got lots of content and quality animations, i havent done latest dlc of s2 yet cause i plan on replaying whole thing when full voiced will be out, but do have previous 4.4gb version that was and animations in compare to original looks like shit. from smooth 60fps down to laggy 15 fps.
on top got also video mod for s1 and s2 to put all animations on 60 fps, early ones were 30.

because the devs make top notch graphics and do not dare to set the compression rate high enough. Also there are videos inside. An average, medium compressed fullHD video takes about 9 GiB per 90 min. Plus there is voice acting. I didn't look at the format, but if it is stereo 48 kHz then it's also an overkill for speech.

Homework: count the duration of all videos, count the amount of images, count the duration of a play through. Divide the size of the game by the counts. Compare with a commercially available video. I think the game is more compressed than a BluRay.

They're actually using ogg vorbis, which is very good for voices, but they use 44kHz, could have reduced it to 22 kHz without anyone noticing. Bitrate is 80 kbps.
Not optimal, but tolerable.

I want the MC to grow more confident about the "anomalies" in his life. Hopefully, he will learn more with the help of Trooper (is that her name?) and have more control and fun with it. His worry about the inconsistency of the day repeating held the story back a lot. I want him to do more crazy stuff like in S1, raping his mom or undressing his teacher in front of the class. The scare of the day not repeating ruined S2 for me (and the clone jutsu), as the MC didn't try anything too risky.

And hopefully we will not be asked "who do you want to be nuked and who to be saved" around Ep 5 in a "Acting Lessons"-like fashion... :cautious:

I've just done a quick play from start to the mega orgy of Season 2 in order to find the scene when MC is confronted by the neighbour, but I didn't find it.
Please try one of the many events. MC goes to his neighbor to complain about the noise. He got beaten real bad by the grandpa. After that he's escorted by a female police officer to the next police station for a whatever the MC is doing with females. But I might be wrong. It's half an eternity ago I played S2.

Was it in Season 2 or in Season 1 (aka"Echoes of Lust")?
I think it was S2

Also I didn't find any character named Alice in the whole code of Season 2
Alice is new to us. She was doing something in the garage the whole day long on Th and Fr.

well girl is new from S3,
Good to know, thanks.
I thought that maybe she was an old acquaitance from S1 or S2 because they kept her name and face hidden during all S3E1 to reveal them just at the end and so I though: "Maybe that was intended to be a plot twist and I'm expected to recognize her name and face from previous Season(s)" :p


old neighbor might be one of last events that were in s2.
Do you mean after the AI revealed herself? One of the scenes I get by clicking on the blue orb?
