Technically it can also lead to Lena and Stan maybe dating at some later point, if you pick I need time as a folllow-up. (it sets lena_stan_dating flag to True) It'll be enabled if Lena and Ian aren't in relationship.
I did have an error show up in the convo after choosing lets talk and hit ignore on it. Didn't get an option for i need time, so hopefully it's fixed soon.

Gillian was supposed to live in her old town while she's looking for a job in the city the game takes place. If she's indeed Mike's girlfriend then she's apparently found this work 3 months or so before the game takes place, and ultimately moved to her intended destination, taking her new boyfriend with her. This is hardly implausible.
I thought we were going to agree to disagree. :LOL: Still implausible coincidence regardless from a justified writing standpoint and that's now setting an even narrower window of hoop jumping to justify it. But remember, this isn't about whether Eva will write this Mike/Gillian pairing in (which she very well might, based on all the other implausible coincidences in the writing so far). It's whether she should. My suspension of disbelief is already on very shaky ground based on all the coincidences so far that haven't been justified in the writing IMO. I'm just saying my opinion of ORS storytelling quality will drop further with yet another implausible coincidence without a hail-mary of good writing beyond "cuz red string" to justify it all. As-is, it would have to be some sort of smoothly executed supernatural turn that satisfies the reader or a Truman Show that everyone is in on except the two protagonists. Not at all saying either of those are good ideas either.

Yeah, the script needs an update with fixes. If all works correctly you get this:

Kind of wonder if people experiencing missing options tried to use unpacker or similar mod and somehow damaged the /game folder in the process, mixing versions or whatever.

Some people complaining about Stan, but I replayed aaaaall my different playthorughs with different love interests and different decisions, and Louise is a freaking nightmare and each of them.
No matter what you chose or if you actually try your hardest to please her, she has the natural ability to find an excuse to get mad at you regardless :cautious:
Gotta love Eva for giving us a variety in relationships, though.

The fact that a pathetic man like Robert gets to fuck Lena yet Ian can't is definitely triggering.
Tbh, I almost never actually fuck Lena as Ian in my playthroughs. All of my playthroughs always have had Emma as a side chick and sometimes Cherry. With either Cindy or Holly as the main girls.

If Stan is one of the most annoying male characters on par with Robert... Then Louise is one of the most annoying female characters. I can hardly keep relationship points with Louise in the middle, she always has some kind of claim. Ivy is right about her, she acts like she's 15.

Ehh, i pretty much consider Louise's relationship meter poorly implemented, the same way Ed's get stuck at neutral if you tell him to stop his pervy bullshit. They have only mood downs in the script, but pretty much no mood ups to reflect their mood (and relationship) has improved between/after the drama attacks.

Louise is a bratty and needy sub. Lena needs to start talking about some boundaries and or punishments to her.
