No doubt, the reversing of so many tropes is one of the things I love about this game, it did not fall into the typical patterns, even when it started in much the same places.Oh, I agree. This is what I actually love in the game - with the exception of that e-mail (and I still can't believe Claire is that easy to dupe) - the MC is way more often a pawn in the hands of others. Both his sisters and his mother are easily presented as the ones pushing him forward on the road to corruption.
Ashley is the easy one, I actually wonder how people may think otherwise about her.
Veronica obviously didn't really care about the MC having anything to blackmail her with, she cares if he has the guts for it (and the guts to protect her if needed).
Claire gets duped by a fake e-mail, when she has to be a very competent professional in a leadership role in her firm. I don't buy it. Bait and switch tactics, the constant teasing and the fact she got in to it from what? 3 e-mails with a professional? Yeah... right. Join the yoga... but stay in the back, since - you know, that's where you put the male in the picture.
Damn, I love this game![]()
Same here, that's what I loved about Ashley!
I think you are right to a degree, but I think Veronica did care at first to some extent but found she liked it, it just took her a while to admit it, even if she was pushing him into it but acting the way she did. I mean, even when she broke out of it, her excuse was pathetic, 'someone might see', at noon, when no one is ever home...? You really might be right there, she was kind of begging him to call her bluff then. I know I would have.
For Claire, I base it on two things, the first being that she wrote first and it was a reply, so you think less about the exact address. The second and most important, they was telling her what she wanted to hear, so she didn't question them.
Also, I want to see more of Pam, she's also pretty cute.
