He's Spanish, so he's using legitimate indentured Catalonian rebel prisoners for most of the grunt-work.
penedeyewink:Yeah; for all the whining on this forum, he does manage regular monthly updates that include actual content and not just poke-and-prod patches.

Actually, "Sasha" is a western mispronunciation of the name where the closest spelling to match the non-English phoneme at the start (which is not a full "sh" but also not an 'S') is "Shasha". In English verbal cadence, the use of a pure 'S' sound is more comfortable so it has become the norm.

Well spotted! :closedeyesmile:
@Firebane: This would appear to be a bug with the Warren hideout Bliss event that prevents her from responding to the Daisy Stepdad part of the Daisy quest because that event thinks you need to be a member of Nina's gang and not Warren's.
Map 259 "Warren Hideout Main Hall", event 18 "EV018" (Bliss behind the desk), page 2: The conditions switch should be 1204 "Mienbro Mafia Warren" but is actually 1203 "Mienbro Mafia Nina". All the other equivalent gang events are correct.

And here I though that Sasha is a diminutive for the russian name Aleksei (I met plenty of these Sasha's in my day) like Bob for Robert, is like the finesse Name Mika that in the western culture (United Stated only) is used for men and in the country that originated it's a femenine name
Daisy gets a bit of character sympathy after learning about the sexual abuse she's been suffering, but if you replay from the beginning you have to wonder whether she's really changed from the ruthless manipulator and sadistic emotional terrorist she was. I think her side of the story was honest but of course lacks the details of exactly how she led her stepfather on, what line she crossed and how she crossed it. I'd like to give her the benefit of the doubt, but 'forgive, never forget'.
Now if I consider the home life that must have made Christian into the asshole he is, I can sympathize with him a bit, too. I bet he carries a bitter enough grudge against his old man and grandpa to want to help take them down. It's not that unlikely a friendship; clash with someone long enough you can develop mutual respect and then acceptance. And if Nesrot and Warren don't bring their feud to some conclusion, good or bad, then big players like the Chinese and Russians can take advantage of their conflict to roll all over them.

Diminutive for the russian names:
Aleksei (full name only for guys) - Lesha (diminutive name). Not women's with names Aleksei in Russia;
In this game:
Sasha - Aleksandra (full name only for girls) and Aleksander (full english name for guys)
Sveta (diminutive name) - Svetlana (full name only for girls)
On the other hand:
Nina (full name only for girls) - Ninochka (diminutive name)

We were talking pronunciation and not etymology; two vastly different things.
Sasha is the English form of Саша (formally pronounced [ˈsaʂə]). This is a "pet" name for Алекса́ндра (in English: Alexandra, for which Aleksei is both a short and a base form). Note this is the pet form and not a short form like Sandra (more common in English). While the formal Russian pronunciation of Саша/Sasha uses a hard initial 's', dialect (especially since it is a pet form that carries an implication of cuteness) softens the initial 's' to something close to but not actually a 'sh'. This does not exist in formal English phonemes, so the English equivalent is Shasha, but that is clumsy to pronounce in American dialects so it becomes Sasha. Russia is huge, like the USA, and has many regional variants of the form and pronunciation of Alek- based names (being as common as Robert in English). I have come across Shasha as a common spelled and pronounced name in many southern and south-western Asian and Middle-Eastern countries. For me: India, Israel, and Egypt.

I actually thought that made sense since the Hornets (Nesrot's gang) are street people who are gathered from all quarters of the city. So you'd have people with all sorts of names and even some estranged former members of the other gangs. Warren's gang is in-your-face power Mafia, Chang is all about business, and Nina's gang of Russians are too new, so it would be Nesrot's gang that has the resources and skills to infiltrate other gangs with double agents.It is rather strange that initially in the gang of Nesrot there were girls with Russian names, such as Olenka or Sasha. Maybe BON would be worth turning the plot toward war of gangs - the work of double agents. The story of Nesrot's poisoning forever

You are not describing enough to fully understand your problem. If you are using a previous save with v1.5 and the Ronald quest with Mrs. Taylor is already done, then you can not do it again since it is a one-time quest. You'd have to start the game over. If you are starting v1.5 new, then that quest runs just like it did before since nothing in it has changed.
