So you've said and you are more than welcome to your opinion hunni.
It's only been said for 2 years and many times on this forum that Nikki isn't the end goal and won't be a love interest.
Do you say this in your sleep? Do you have a nervous tic? Do you need professional help? Call Now on 0800 fuck this is getting old!
Well no worries this discussion will go on for quite a while still and will not be resolved since it is based upon a very different reading of Nikki nd the other women as the one Sumo intended. Sumo likely unintentionally put more than enough hints and situations into the game to make this reading not only possible but even probable. So some like the happy ending he wanted to provide and for others like me it was the saddest most unhappy ending possible doing most damage to her and people around her possible. (Now this might have something to do as well with my own background admittedlyDo you say this in your sleep? Do you have a nervous tic? Do you need professional help? Call Now on 0800 fuck this is getting old!

I don't know what i'm going to do now this is over.Do you say this in your sleep? Do you have a nervous tic? Do you need professional help? Call Now on 0800 fuck this is getting old!
Just put this under your sig... told you I was right! ner ner na ner ner!
I couldn't put it in my sig, sometimes I am wrong.Just put this under your sig... told you I was right! ner ner na ner ner!
Well to me by sticking to much to his game and not retconning earlier parts and the happy ending he tried to provide he actually failed in the end something that was overall a great game. I will not write a long treatise about all the things that can go wrong during development of a child, how that can go wrong and get right by luck anyway since that is pretty depressing.
) Thing is those things do not go away by just saying no, they are emotions and traumas that stay alive and active in the now and are not dealt with as they should have been for whatever reason. They are extremely strong shackles that need acceptance, lots of time and professional help to take care of and even then people are often only partial successful to repair the damage they did to themselves to be able to survive as a child that could not deal with what was happening at that age.
I think you may have read far too much into Nikki's behavior.Well to me by sticking to much to his game and not retconning earlier parts and the happy ending he tried to provide he actually failed in the end something that was overall a great game.

Just trust me that Nikki and her behavior including her promiscuity fit it to a tee, whether Sumo intended that or not. (yeah in those cases it is not a free liberated choice but a compulsive behavior to run away from things you do not wish to deal with looking for sexual partners that mostly do not suit you, well if your male people call you a player and real man and if female mostly a slut
Based upon that view of Nikki, her ending was the most sad thing she could do to herself and people around her. Not because Marc would not be a great and understanding guy, but the fact that Nikki denied herself and only clunk her own shackles even tighter and that can only lead to unhappiness for her and through her those around her. Just love unfortunately does not repair that.
Like I said to Alfus before, I wish I could have had the same read on Nikki as you had. It would have made the game ending a lot happier for me.
Yeah, I think we deff read completely different stories.
That's because you don't want to. You don't go from being a sexually adventurous person to being in a committed monogamous relationship with a celibate, super religious person unless you're overcompensating for something. Sure, there's the remotest possibility that she was actually in love with Marc (or whatever his name was), but it seems way more likely that he was a scapegoat so that Nikki didn't have to admit or confront her feelings for the MC. Nikki's complete 180 personality shift doesn't seem the least bit suspicious to you? Also, there is the part where she had to stop herself from dropping the "I love you" bomb on the MC. Pretty sure she had some serious feelings for him.
No, because thats how the dev intended it, his words.
There's how the dev intended for things to be and how they actually turned out. I have no proof of this, but I'm willing to bet that as the dev was writing the story, the story took on a life of its own (so to speak) and instead of adapting his (or her) vision to the story that was unfolding they reeled the story in line as hard and as inorganically as they could. There is little to no indication that Molly is the one and only real choice to be had in this game. I'll be honest I'm not even really mad that you can't end up with Nikki. I'm definitely a Skylar man. However, Nikki did seem like she would be a "romanceable" option. Having her personality shift so suddenly with no clue that's how it was going to be feels bad. People can say it was always going to be this way and that was the dev's vision but the writing says otherwise.
That is where we disagree indeed, to me there are way to many hints like her describing tales perfectly when she tells what she is looking for in a man at the very start of the game more or less and then dating the opposite different kind of guys. Her not very healthy need to be popular and such are also signs of the vibes I feel.
Problem is most of us people that have problems like that are incredibly good at blending in and hiding those from others and even better at covering them up and lying to ourselves. The others that are worse at it are more likely to get help already in their childhood years nowadays luckily.
