how corrupt can the characters become?. I tend to favor the female protagonist over Male MC's but still, can the characters truly go from on the straight and narrow to criminal slash slut?

I want to gift you guys this question so as to make the wait for the next update more bearable (you’re welcome). If you could change the protagonists with another character from the cast who would you choose? Who's taking Ian and Lena's place?

Maybe you only want to change one protagonist, why then? I know that a lot of people disliked the multiple protagonist situation so we already know that some would prefer it if they could play as just Lena or Ian, I'm proposing something different here.

I've thought multiple times that Axel could be a cool choice, maybe Wade but his story would have to change a bit in order to be enjoyable to play I believe. For the female lead I'd certainly choose either Ivy or Cherry. Ivy I think is a more interesting character than Lena in some parts (although we do get to know Lena a lot more so Ivy does feel one dimensional). Cherry I just adore so it's simple. I'm curious about your choices :D.

Each protagonist can sleep around with multiple people. This can include cheating on their partner, if they're in a relationship.

Perrry should be protagonist, obv. Or maybe Wade, see if you can keep Cindy faithful with both Ian and Axel gunning for her. :whistle:
For the girls. Holly is kind of a natural pick, with the whole potential corruption path. Louise could be fun though, see if you can get any actual boyfriend that'll stick around for a change.

I actually like playing as Lena and Ian but I would definitely love to have Cindy as 3rd protagonist. I think she is the best written character in the game so far including protagonists. Her struggles, trying to understand her place in life, her expectations from herself and others, her flaws, her traits etc. she feels like a real life person or maybe I related to her most, I'm not sure. Anyways, Cindy certainly has protagonist potential. Also, if we deviate from relations to politics, society and how it works and how should it works Emma would be a good protagonist candidate. Though game would change drastically. So I'd vote for Cindy for the game as it is or Emma with huge plot changes, still no replacement though I like our protagonists.

So if started experimenting with Automatic1111 and the Dreambooth extension. Do you have any suggestion on how to prepare the images from ORS/GGGB? Should I just add everything or select only images with characters and resize them to 512x512 or keep the original 1280x720 / 1920x1080 and cut them into roughly two/eight images. Also would it help to remove the background so not to muddy the training?
For 1.5 model you have to use 512x512 images.
Use rpaExtract tool to unpack images so you don't have to separate characters from backgrounds by yourself.
Its worth to try to prepare images manually and make few versions of each with different background, for exmaple Ash on black background and exactly same Ash on white background. If image doesn't fully fit in 512x512, you can try to prepare 3 versions of it (or lets say 6 with different backgrounds): fullbody resized down to fit in 512, cut top part without resizing, cut bottom part without resizing. Prepare decent text descriptions for each image so they gonna work with similar prompts later (descriptions can be generated automatically by DB, but it may not work good enough for your case).
Also it might be worth to use some anime focused model such as "anything v3" as a base instead of original SD1.5, and use Danbooru tags in your text descriptions (in that case learn about their tags before you write text descriptions).
Begin with small dataset and just one character, something like 30 images should be enough to get first results and decide if its time to add mode images / characters or if you still need to tweak training parameters.

If you gonna have more questions on this matter send me a private message.
But I won't be able to help you with particular training parameter values as its something you have experiment with (easily can take several days). I'm not an expert in style training and mostly train models based on real humans for deep fake purposes, not artworks.

And to keep it somewhat on topic.. heres my quick fanimation with Stan + Lena.

If this game will ever be completed, I wish Eva would do DLCs like GGGB afterwards. She can implement cut contents like Ed route, Sidechick Alison (Lena as GF) route, etc.
Hmm, yes clearly because having another creepy old guy would do wonders for this game because everyone so wants to have Ed cheat on his aging wife and then die of a heartattack getting a handy, leaving Lena in charge of the shop. (DOUBTFUL)
