I just returned to work after my coffee break. A great idea assaulted me during it to keep the scene I had thought about and add confirmation, so yes, Scarlett's dad (whoever he isOh come on, what's the point of the patched version if you're not going to explicitly confirm it? Don't punish the rest of us just because of the censored version. knowing but not having it confirmed in canon would just be annoying and painful.
Just think of poor Scarlett, doesn't she deserve all the happiness of learning the truth?
Wow. I didn't even notice that ... and you doubled down on that clue too with the date "confession" Bravo.

Exactly. There will be even stronger hints, but it won't be confirmed in the unpatched version.That's kinda the point of a "patched" vs "unpatched." If something was confirmed, it would have to be something other than what's being hinted at. Since he's your dad in both versions, if there is a mentioned half-sister in the unpatched version, she could never be found (at least as far as the player could know).
Dad's call is almost equal in both versions (changing who he cheated on, Martha or Anna, always the MC's mom, and other small details). The MC knowing he has a half-sister doesn't add incest if he doesn't know who she is, right?I meant, to say point of the patched version. Went back and fixed it. But to you point, I don't know what was said about a sister in the censored version, but I wouldn't have brought up a sister in that version were I the writer. Adding a sister in that version is basically adding in incest, patch or no patch. Everything would probably still point to Scarlett. Though Trop has stated he has a scene in mind for the censored version.
Logically or not, I want her explicitly found and brought into the fold in the incest version. Anything less, just feels like kinda needless teasing. Kinda like "everyone knows what Landlady and Housemate mean, so we don't need an incest patch, just change them in your head".
Since I plan for the "reveal scene" to be emotional on both (I had two scenes thought about, but I liked the unpatched one more), I decided to keep the unpatched "not-reveal" and add the "real reveal" in the patched one.
The "bringing her into the family fold" can be tricky. In the patched version she is (if the theories are right
Kiara is the 22nd, so Eileen will have a sibling or twoWoah, Eileen's mom is a hottie. Time to make Eileen a big sister.
Don't worry. He will do it.Ok ok, it is without question Scarlett, but all of us knowing, is completely different from MC and Scarlett knowing and Scarlett being brought into the family and being treated as such by all the others.
And maybe it's just me, but I feel not moving heaven and earth to find the sister would be very out of character for MC.
