I don't care where Eva takes this game too much, to be honest. Whether it achieves a balance between relationships later on, or whether greater emphasis is placed on corruption paths. I've enjoyed the writing, which is more than what I can say for most games.
I feel like there are two points that I view as central to ORS:
1) The story is shaped by your choices.
2) This is not GGGB, it's not just about being a good or bad girl.
It shouldn't be a virginal charade any more than an all out fuckfest, I fully expect there to be some balancing elements coming up.
However, going on what we've seen, the possibility exists that Eva may explore corruption with the female characters as the story progresses, especially with Lena. Holly and Cindy are options, too. If the player decides, Lena introduces Holly to the bouncer, leading to some suggestive dialogue. It could be foreshadowing both Lena and Holly's corruption. For all we know, Billy's proposition could be some hardcore porn-shoots in a villa somewhere, which I'd imagine would make a lot of users here cry on the inside, while others wouldn't mind, while others would love it. In all honesty, this development wouldn't surprise me.
Sure, but I also feel that there is going to be some measure of variation to it. I got the impression from reading about Eva's musings on GGGB that this game by comparison is going to rely more on story and character, so any corruption taking place will be more gradual I feel. I don't think we'll see "take Eva to the pool party and turn her into a BBC starving slut after her first time having group sex, to the degree that she'll dismiss all romantic feelings towards Ashley" levels of suddenness to it.
The less "nice" content that you've mentioned would be an issue for those wanting something with more substance, perhaps, for Lena, which is an issue. The game already has plenty of characters, so I'd imagine that Eva would need to introduce new ones, which could present setbacks. I do understand that these games can be costly and take time to develop. On the other hand, who besides Ian and Holly in the game makes a realistic, long-term partner for Lena? I can't imagine Eva re-writing or re-designing Perry, Wade or Stan, as three examples.
I don't think Eva should introduce any more characters either. I think it would have suited Lena's story to have a starting friend or two more, becuase a lot of her non-sexual/romantic social material rests entirely on Louise/Ivy drama.
That's too late now though, I don't imagine Eva would see it as a fun task to suddenly need to write a new character into the established canon just because I've got my panties in a twist.
I'm good with developments in any direction, as I've been surprised, and have enjoyed most of the offered paths. But I think that Lena not getting more long-term relationship routes, or as many as Ian, is something that wouldn't surprise me.
I'm good with most developments too, my only real wish is for some balancing material for Lena's route. I'm certain some will come.
