Not who you were talking about, but the constant pushing of Eliza onto the player really turned me off to her character. Felt like I was being told by the dev how I should feel about her, as opposed to let it come about naturally. Not a fan of that all. And this was before the vampire stuff, even.
I can understand that since i'm one that like to make solo paths for all the LI I like. I actually never thought about that since I liked her character alot. However most other games probably wouldn't like it either , especially for my playstyle. This game seems the exception cause of how Eliza grew on me.
Don't get me wrong, I like Eliza. She clearly has the MC's best interest at hart, but I had no interest in having the MC hook up with her. I just got to the vampire part, and I am not sure what to think about it at this point. Not sure I like it as I really don't care for the whole vampire trope so it doesn't help my opinion of Eliza. For me, after turning her down a couple of times, I would have expected that option to go away. Instead, it's just annoying.
At this point it seems like Eliza is the canon main LI. Forced relationships aren't the best, but enough games seem to work even with one that maybe that's the solution.
It's not just Eliza, although as the main partner, it is much more prevalent than with the others. It's every LI, the dialogue is written on the assumption you take every girl every time. If you don't, it gets weird. And if you don't like Eliza, then you will struggle. I can't remember the post, but Dev was very clear there would be a lot of Eliza.
Honestly I think im just gonna do throuple paths for everyone I like + a full harem even tho I dislike Kira. Initially I wanted to do a solo Alice and Eliza path as the are my 2 favorites. But never really get much development or build up with Alice other than she wants to help and misses the MC at least yet. The flashback when they were kids then the MC being gone for 10 years got to me made me feel for Alice that was enough for me to like her since lost time is always a sad thing to me. But so far I find every other character is better than her development wise. So really hope she gets some love beyond some lewds . Also glad im not the only one thought some of the branching choices in regard to the LI felt weird it's kind of why I gave up on solo paths and decided to go with Eliiza + ( Insert Li here)It's not just Eliza, although as the main partner, it is much more prevalent than with the others.

I am doing a solo Eliza path (and might do other solos depending on how they develop) plus a harem path with taking everyone so far (except Kira & Alice, I just don't like them). And apart from actual sex scenes there is no difference to the paths.
I thought once we hit "major choices" that it would fix it and turn the romance off, but that only appears to take out choice and force you to do stuff. I did a 'major choice' to not pursue Kira, yet later had the option to have sex with her (and her trust is negative too). Alice is another one, I have repeatedly said no, no, no. And was curious, so I said yes once and I'm getting a BJ. I found that a bit weird.
I also think MC might be a bit bi-polar. Have the chance to be angry at Kira a couple of times for her betrayal, and then suddenly. I trust her. I've turned romance option down every time, yet MC is sitting there saying I need to work out how I feel about Kira. I've said no 11 times, I think that's a big enough clue.
Don't get me wrong, not bashing the game, I love it. It's still among my very favorites, but I think the dialogue pathing is very weird if you're not fucking everybody.
You do like your childhood friends don't you Dessolos.
I like the solo Eliza path, so happy to run with it. But I need to do a harem path too. Might do more solos as stuff develops. Very interested in Luna. But can also see myself doing Pearl, Kelly, Amelia, Frida, Rin, Lucid, Maia, Anna, Lux. (Pretty much everyone except Alice/Kira, I just don't like them, and Selena, that bitch is dead). And where has our cuz Sabrina disappeared to. Was hoping for some of her too.
Actually kind of curious what makes you dislike Alice ngl but I just assume cause she is a bit boring and bland. Wouldn't say childhood friend is my favorite troupe but it has some appeal to me but it also makes it hard for me no them lol. There is a certain childhood friend from another game we play while I like her character alot dont think she is my favorite anymore. But yeah Eliza solo is my main path not gonna play the others till later depending how the game develops. Right now I just got a full harem for content and Eliza.You do like your childhood friends don't you Dessolos.
How about Kelly? Not sure what it is about her, but in the immortal words of Kevin McAlister "Hubba Hubba".You do like your childhood friends don't you Dessolos.
I listed Kelly. Yes, I like her, she is very hot and cute. She made the ship trip quite bearable. LOL.
I don't actually dislike or hate Alice (like some other LIs, including Kira), I just don't like her as an LI. The ones that act like they're 5 years old. I like MC, so I'm gonna be a bitch to him and pull his hair. As a person, I like Alice.
It gets better. You get to make a 'major choice' to not go on her path. And then have to turn her down at least 3 more times before you get off the ship, and she's still all over you kissing and rubbing her tits on you and MC is drooling how wonderful her tits are.
Totally irrelevant to the discussion.
