I haven't done a playtest to check, but I think the dev intended to be possible for Ian and Lena to not sleep with each other even while dating and all the way to chapter 8 (there's some dialogue in the game's code for such a scenario).
Not that I disagree as a whole but Holly has been hinted as of having something of a slightly more conniving side to her than what one might assume. She does admit to having been aware of Ian/Lena if she gets it on with Ian and many people are under the impression that the "room hiccup" in the hotel in the bookfair portion of ch. 7 was a very convenient development.
Thanks for the reply. So nothing changes in this Conversation? But didn't Eva said in her Newest Update that she changed exactly that Scene?
Dude I did not know greyed out means that it is selected. Thanks for helping an idiot out
. Funny how I got this wrong but was able to correctly disable the greyed out choices.Eh, I think there's a big difference between shooting your shot when all you have is a suspicion and doing it when you know for a fact that what you want to do wouldn't be right. She probably had to work herself up like crazy to find the courage to come on to Ian so a possible relationship between him and Lena was probably one of the many uncertainties she had to dismiss. Even if Holly has a conniving and perceptive side, I don't think she would do anything actually immoral, at least not yet.
There are some changes, basically to just hammer home the idea that Lena considers Holly a very close friend and is very protective of her, so she sees Ian as the bad guy in this scenario for using Holly for sex because she's such a gentle soul, that kinda thing. That works fine for a Lena that's been loyal to Ian so far but it's still a double standard in her favor when she's going after Jeremy and having sex with multiple people on the side still.
Finally found a fix, i changed my setting for skipping the text, it works now
Yeah that's the impression I got already when reading the alpha.
Not really. The closest to that you can do is blueball Ian, but they still have some occasional sexual interactions, but not full-on sex. In Chapter 6 they get to second base (where things stop because of Lena's period), but in Chapter 7 they can do oral on each other. If Lena doesn't have sex with him in the morning, then technically they still haven't had sex. In short, you can either reject Ian entirely or have a slow progression with him. The game doesn't have patience for your indecisiveness, there's a plot to move forward.
Why did you confess your love for Lena to Jeremy then? I think you're trying to have your cake and eat it too. If you said that Ian loves Lena, then, of course, he will prefer her to any other girl. He didn't exactly spend as much time with Holly as he did with Lena. He never showed affection, never tried to make a move on her. His main reason for choosing to go with Holly and bail on Cindy was the possibilities for his career growth (he says that in his inner thoughts), having Holly there was just a nice bonus. It's not like he planned to go with Holly with the same intentions that Holly had. So, once he had his fun with Holly, he realized that he actually fucked up and confesses his true feelings for Lena (to be consistent with your earlier choice regarding his feelings for Lena). If you would've chosen to say to Jeremy that you only see Lena as a hookup, then Ian has an opportunity to "realize that he actually likes Holly more than anyone".
That's life... You snooze, you loseHow rude!
Wanting to break up with Lena isn't having my cake and eating it, that would be trying to keep both Holly and Lena going, which is not what I wanted.
Thank you very much for this now I know at least what changes happened and yeah we will see how all of this plays out.
Good Point! I think many of us (including me) are sometimes forgeting that we are in Chapter 8 from maybe over 20? Chapters of this Game which means we are most likely not even halfway through and so much can still happen in this story.
