Or maybe EK is less hysterical about a girl spending some time with a guy she has hots for, and doesn't immediately go "OMG SHE"S LOOKED AT SOMEONE OTHER THAN MUH MC, SHE MUST BE BANGING HIM THAT CHEATING WHORE", and that's why this outing happen without any variables.I’m pretty sure the Cindy path is just broken because EK hasn’t kept her variables in order.
yea, open relationship is poorly done right now. I hope for more threesomes, like when Lena "delivered" Louise for ian
tattoos for him is also a great idea, why that thing is not implemented yet?
Beard and tattoo variables are in script's but beard have more chances for Ian said by EK herself.I know it has been said before, but as much as I love this game, the open relationship choice really irks me. It is never said, that they are only open together, just that the relationship is open. So why all the focus on ending flings or cheating.
Also I really hope next chapter we get a beard and tattoos for Ian. It is in the variables after all.
Well not where I live too. Basically my surrounding 6, 7 countries too. We just believe in Love and Tradition....are you trying to tell me that casual sex don't exist in places..
*Reading* ALISONThe more i think about Cindy actions on the epilogue the more i think Alison is the best canon choice for Ian.
The crazy narcissist is the best canon choice?The more i think about Cindy actions on the epilogue the more i think Alison is the best canon choice for Ian.
The "crazy obsessive" part is all the more reason for Ian to steer clear. Because it means she won't take kindly to being rejected by him. And if he's with Lena, she goes out of her way sabatoge his relationship. Perry, Wade, Emma, Holly, even Jeremy and Cherry have been supportive. But nah, Alison's all "I must sabatoge my friend's relationship because I never felt his dick inside me but was too scared to ask him out in high school." How childish can she possibly be?Allison has been my head cannon choice for Ian almost from the start. She really only goes crazy obsessive with Ian, the biggest complaint I've seen of her character, if he teases her, but never really shut her down. On a purely romantic route with Allison, the one were a player is required to restrain themselves and occasionally not chose the lust option, I think is a pretty wholesome relationship between the two.
Come on, let's be real, Ian and Cindy's situations are not the same as Wade's. Important difference, both Ian and Cindy have 9 to 5 jobs (Ian's is even in the book industry), Wade is collecting unemployment checks from the Goverment and that's about to expire. I just put myself in the situation that the 3 of them are my friends and they tell me about their situations and dreams:She constantly gives shit to Wade and belittles him about wanting to be a pro gamer or a streamer or whatever and on the same breath she is praising Ian for pursuing a career as a pro writer. On top of that she looses her shit when Wade is not happy with her wanting to be a model of all things, talking about childish and stupid career choices
Yes, choices should matter but that doesn't mean they have to produce your preferred outcome. Like, for example, with Ian's book and the contest. Writing the best possible book maybe doesn't mean that Ian wins the contest because it would also fit with the game's background that the contest is just a publicity stunt and it's fixed and corrupted so writing the best book is not what you have to do to win it. But the writing of the game should not be the same if Ian loses the contest with a great book than with a shitty one or if he wins because he blackmails Minerva or is in cahoots with Seymour rather than because his book is the best and he wins fair and square.I get it's a game and you expect to change every outcomes, but realistically despite all your efforts you can't save a failing relationship. Though I'm sure your efforts will be noticed by Wade
I don't know, I think you can see Allison baby trapping Ian coming a mile away.Allison has been my head cannon choice for Ian almost from the start. She really only goes crazy obsessive with Ian, the biggest complaint I've seen of her character, if he teases her, but never really shut her down. On a purely romantic route with Allison, the one were a player is required to restrain themselves and occasionally not chose the lust option, I think is a pretty wholesome relationship between the two.
It's really a shame that Lena only has Ian and Holly for wholesome relationships. Stan always comes on to her like an incel and Louise is always incredibly clingy and jealous of Lena spending any amount of time with someone other than her. Emma seems to be a budding option for her, but it still only leaves Ian as the only male Lena can have a health relationship with.
Mine would be 3 areas (obviously "No hoes"):..Also in terms of who is best for Ian/ what would be the best option in a world with more realistic consequences my ranking from best to worst would be:
Faithful Lena
Non corrupted Holly
Pure romantic Alison
Cherry
Corrupted Holly
Emma? No real romance signs tbh
Cindy
Minerva
Cheating Lena
I'm hoping for a romance path with Emma, i like her and her ass is divine. Cheating Lena is just for those who love NTR, you can make a faithfull Ian who only goes for Lena and make Lena a total slut who cheats with everyone while being with Ian, with Jeremy ( worst character ) probably being the worst since he knows you like her.I still think Cindy won't cheat on Ian on the romantic path purely because why would Eva, in the eyes of those who enjoy that path, ruin the path. I guarantee you most people playing romantic Cindy are doing so cuz they want to romance Cindy, not get cheated on. That doesn't mean I don't foresee a bad ending with Cindy, just not that she has already been sleeping with Axel just because they were at the club.

Yeaaaaaa about that, I had been looking all over for some time as well. That route flagged the variable ian_lena_open = True.*Correction*Also Experimenting together is clearly mentioned:

The best canon relationship for me is of course loyal Ian and loyal Lena. Player plays as the red string to tie 2 MC together like the game name implied. Seriously though when you have 2 of them loving and caring only for each other, keeping a friendly relationship with other npcs all you will be seeing is 2 souls with broken hearts from previous relationship found salvation in each other. All the dramas happening around them doesn't affect this 2 who are in their own little world. The debate between all the possible LI for Ian is interesting though but relationship wise, Ian has it a lot better than Lena. Faithful Ian is like the only choice for Lena without getting hurt again, or Stan like some claimed to be (I don't know, there is too little screen time to even show Stan as a decent person). But then again, it's a porn game. Most people might find this boring because of this pure vanilla love.I still think Cindy won't cheat on Ian on the romantic path purely because why would Eva, in the eyes of those who enjoy that path, ruin the path. I guarantee you most people playing romantic Cindy are doing so cuz they want to romance Cindy, not get cheated on. That doesn't mean I don't foresee a bad ending with Cindy, just not that she has already been sleeping with Axel just because they were at the club.

I said this before,Alison is the most UNDERRATED character in the whole game.Allison has been my head cannon choice for Ian almost from the start. She really only goes crazy obsessive with Ian, the biggest complaint I've seen of her character, if he teases her, but never really shut her down. On a purely romantic route with Allison, the one were a player is required to restrain themselves and occasionally not chose the lust option, I think is a pretty wholesome relationship between the two.
Axel has fans?Axel remains a complete package of human garbage to me (I'm sorry for offending Axel fans )
Ian lives at his friend's house and taking money from his daddy at 26 because he likes to write, his situation is not very different from Wade's.- I would think that a serious ambitious chad Ian is doing well having a job on his desired industry with good promotion prospects while he works hard in his book during his spare time. Maybe he wins the contest, maybe he doesn't, but good for him for working hard for it. If he fails to be a successful pro writer (most probably outcome), he loses nothing and he still has his job.
The variable is potentially mentioned in the talk Lena and Ian have about possible threesome. That talk is also a second chance for the player to activate it, if they haven't already.But then that's it, that variable did not came up anymore in the later play through, if I'm not mistaken the ianxlenaxlouise threesome had nothing to do with the variable too.
I already mentioned that Louise would've been most easiest and safest for Lena as an option to have threesome with as she is pretty much under her thumb (or legs), while also satisfying her guilt of cheating on Ian with Louise, but Louise/Ivy/Holly aren't tagged as cheating as "Having sex with a girl friend is not cheating" and telling bullshit such as "Oh! I was just preparing her for you Ian that's why i just couldn't stop having sex for you just to fulfill your you fantasy" and the threesome as a result come out of no where as a a surprise thus, proving that Louise's only existence is to be Lena's toy which can be used at her whims as Louise agrees to have sex but not only with Ian but Mark too Thus again proving Louise's only existence is to be Lena's toy...The only way I got the threesome without involving Jeremy's threesome is to let Lena has sex with Louise...
Ah I see. If that brought up in chapter 11 then we can safely assume the variable isn't forsaken yet.The variable is potentially mentioned in the talk Lena and Ian have about possible threesome. That talk is also a second chance for the player to activate it, if they haven't already.
Not like Jeremy gives much fuck about his "girlfriend". Let her addressing Lena as mistress isn't a bad idea.I already mentioned that Louise would've been most easiest and safest for Lena as an option to have threesome with as she is pretty much under her thumb (or legs), while also satisfying her guilt of cheating on Ian with Louise, but Louise/Ivy/Holly aren't tagged as cheating as "Having sex with a girl friend is not cheating" and telling bullshit such as "Oh!

Jeremy doesnt really care about anyone, he just tries to fuck whoever he wants.Ah I see. If that brought up in chapter 11 then we can safely assume the variable isn't forsaken yet.
Let's just hope it has its use in the future.

I honestly don't know. There are people praising the Axel scenes in toilet on patreon, not sure about here though.Axel has fans?
Ikr. Based on what Eva said on patreon the end is still somewhat between chapter 16 and 20 or maybe more. We are only half way there.This game is so huge and with so much potential for various stories and scenes that the updates are simply too short or too few. Facts!
