Honestly, I really do hope for Lena / Holly romance option, or at least Lena / Ivy or Lena / Louise. The lack of girl on girl content is depressing when compared to GGGB, I've spent most of my time with Lena friendzoning and rejecting guys and the player is basically railroaded into Lena / Ian, with game nagging you with setting up a date between them basiaclly every day. Also, it's weird how majority of guys in this game are either rapey or simply assholes. I know it kinda runs with the sexual theme, but GGGB didn't have that problem and not most of the characters were total degenerates.
However I still love the game and I do hope it'll improve in time.
As someone else stated, it's early, so we'll see more girl/girl action further in. On your comment about Lena/Ian, you do realize you can avoid all dates and basically have Ian decide not to pursue Lena, right? I have a save devoted to that route in the interest of seeing where it goes. Oh, and I don't know what your standards are but the guys in GGGB were almost all degenerates and slime. I don't think I ever finished a playthrough with Ashley anything but a lesbian due to my extreme dislike of every single guy in that game. Here at least we have Ian and you can mold how he acts from the start.

Well, not really. And even if they were slimy, they weren't AS slimy. Sure, there were gangbangers and Ash' Bf's dad, but rest of the characters were at least passable. Sure, Jack was slimy too, but his character improved in the 2nd half of the game and his behaviour fit a "jock" like him. But in ORS? The only male characters who are normal are Ian (who doesn't count as he's the PC and you can influence his decisions), Stan (The photo session is pretty weird tho) and Wade (who's the most bland character in the game IMO) Every single other male character is a sex pest.

Tried this recently, still going back'n'forth, but seems very promising. One thing that bugged me is scene with Axel/Cindy, Charisma could've played a larger role there. Also: how important are stats here? Is it better to focus on one or two? ( Charisma or Wits, athletics and $ are more choice based).
Only thing I dislike is lack of any decent male options, besides Ian, on Lena's path ( girls typically get saddled with douchebags).
I'll probably go with
Ian: Cindy, Alison, Holly, Holly+Lena
Lena: "slut path", Ian, Ian + Holly

It all depends on your playstyle or goals. Usually, the best strategy is to keep balanced stats, because there are choices where you need Wits+Charisma or Charisma+Athletics. Some choices though require a high level of a certain stat, hard to gain without focusing on it. For example, as Ian, it's easier for me to focus on Wits and Charisma, with Lust as an afterthought. Most of the options that increase Lust come across as pervy with a few exceptions. And so far you didn't need too much Lust while playing as Ian if you have enough Wits and Charisma. For Lena on the other hand, some options require high Lust level which is hard to acquire if you also want her to be a successful songwriter and don't want to waste time on jerks.

I wish that Lena also gets some choices for guys. So far, Ian always has had to choose between Alison or Lena for dates, whereas Lena can do every guy she meets without any making any choices whatsoever.
I guess it's an issue of not having enough guys at her disposal (or in general). The only guys she interacts with regularly are Stan, Ian, and Robert, with Robert being the lamest choice possible and Stan is just a neighbor. I guess there's potential for Axel, but for now, it's distant. Everybody else is either just an acquaintance or her boss. There's definitely a lack of good-looking male friends, while Ian hangs out with Holly, Alison, Emma, Cindy, and Cherry.

from what I have read in the posts and seen in the walkthrough, there is a lot of Robert content if you choose that path. I for one have no plan to go back and play any path with him, he is a total tool. I wonder why the Dev has spent so much time early in the game on this character when clearly he is so disliked by so many.

The polaroids bit is so well conceived/written - sexy content as revelation of character. And her little denial to herself at the end of it is great. Her being subconsciously attracted to it is much sexier than otherwise. also really like Ivy and Holly being part of the same social circle now

This game is pretty good.

I decided to play through blind and I think I did a pretty bad job.
Ian and Lena both ended up broke and Jeremy was the only one who got any action.

Despite that I was actually interested in the characters and where the story is going.

At this time, i'm not a fan of this game.
I like GGGB : the best adult ame ever.
The routes in ORS are already too much complex.
EK does a hard job, but i think she has chosen the bad way :
shes prefers create a game with a complex structure, as a challenge, instead of create a game for... the pleasure !

Lets be real, Robert is fucking trash. The Robert content is basically a free ticket to people to see sex scenes, because Lena and Robert don't mix with each other at all. I guess it would have made sense to make him a pure fuck buddy, but he is in no way relationship material.

I feel like Ian has a very "branched" path. You've got to choose between Holly or Alison most of the time, and siding with Cindy or Cherry usually nets you with negative points with your friends. Lena's choices don't have any major impact with any person, aside from locking out content. Lena can have relationships with every male (and female) character potentially without any penalty.

The Robert reaction is interesting to me. Good-looking, takes care of himself, has a good job, likes Lena.

Arguably he's a better relationship prospect than Ian, who doesn't even have a real job, is about to get fired from his internship for insubordination, and is trying to fuck 3-4 other women.

Robert:
-really seems to have nothing in common with Lena
-tries to use his position as Lena's supervisor to extort sex from her
-tries to use the fact that Axel punched him to guilt Lena into dating/having sex with him
-since he is otherwise not connected to the games at-large social group, we have no idea who else he might be trying to get with
-isn't really able to satisfy Lena sexually unless she takes charge of the situation (My direct knowledge of this assertion is from skimming the scripts and comments here. Due to the sheer number of scenes available, perhaps he gets his shit together in this area eventually.)

Ian:
-has an awful lot in common with Lena (art, music, life situation, Holly ;):devilish:)
-progresses his relationship with her respectfully, without tricks, extortion or guilt
-has no problem satisfying Lena (even though there's only 1 scene which some might not even get if they decide to make a more balanced skill approach for Lena)
-may be trying to get with other women if player chooses, but doesn't have to be. (Personally, I chose to sleep with Allison once in my playthrough but probably won't pursue her further because of equal parts 1) seems she's gonna sleep with both Ian and Jeremy unless you build your entire life around her and she doesn't even want a relationship supposedly 2) the relationship with Lena is heating up/getting more serious. I've had a flirty relationship with Cindy, but have pretty consistently encouraged her to work on her relationship with Wade. I'll admit to having naughty designs on Holly, but I hope to include Lena in that so it don't count! :coffee:)

Sorry, I'm not seeing the relative merits of these two tipping in Robert's favor in the finding Lena a good boyfriend route. Now if you are talking the depraved slut route, that's a horse of a different color!
