no, Gillian will not appear. evakiss has said she has no intention to do that.
But I feel like it's strange how the Holly Route kind of disappears when you don't go with her to the Book Fair. At least in my Playthrough there was not a single Conversation with Holly in Chapter 8 if you don't go with her. I mean if Ian pushes the Relationship with Holly the whole Game but can't go to the Book fair because one of his best Friends celebrates his birthday (which sounds reasonable?!) how can Holly think there is no chance? It feels odd and I hope this one Event doesn't define the whole Holly Route completely. I mean I have two Playthroughs, one with Holly and one with Cindy so it's not a big Problem but this Scenario just seems kind of weird if you think about it and I hope Ian still can go for Holly if he did everything else before The Book Fair.
All I know is that cucking Wade with Cindy while he is on the phone or out there looking for here will be the hottest scene in the entire game.Today I was playing the famous Cindy Scene at the End of Chapter 7 again and I keep thinking about it because yes, Cindy is definitely one of the hottest and most interesting Routes for future Updates but also kind of really difficult to handle. Actually I think ths easiest Way for the Game would be some sort of "forbidden affair" between Ian and Cindy behind Wades and other Peoples backs because this could work without changing too much of the Games Status Quo but if Eva is planning a real "Love" Route for Cindy this could be difficult and would change a lot because there should be many steps to reach this Point (Breakup with Wade and the Consequences for the whole Group - Ian maybe losing a lot of friends and the Situation with Wade because of this - Cindy running away from this for a certain time (like she did before) - Ian and Cindy then slowly somehow coming together again and falling in love?) I still don't know how and what to expect with this Route
How do you think the Cindy Route will develop in future Updates?
Well the book fair is the defining moment for the Ian/Holly relationship up to this point, so it makes sense to me that if you don't do it things won't progress. If Ian doesn't go then Holly sees it as him turning her down, so not unreasonable that she wouldn't push to try and continue things immediately. Holly's route is one where you can't really attempt to balance it AND other paths at the same time, so if you want Holly you need to focus on her at every opportunity. As far as your comment on the book fair defining Holly's whole path with Ian, I am fairly certain that there will likely be another opportunity in the future with a Holly with a high enough 'change' variable, but that version of Holly will likely be a lot different then that one we see now.
I think that's where some of the difference between "romance" and "sexual" paths could come into play. Regardless of what the player chooses, Cindy will remain with Wade for a while. If you have chosen to help them mend things, then they will probably have, although I think it would be more interesting if it was more difficult than that and Lena had to play a role too.
By default if you fk Holly after being in a relationship with Lena, Lena will dump you and Ian will become Holly's bf. So no it is not a one night stand.
Thanks. I guess I just need to ignore Lena as much as I can in the next playthrough and trying not to become her bf.
I beg to differ, If Ian fucked Holly, and Lena is in love with Ian, right after sex, Ian comes clean with Holly, so this becomes a One night stand, next day Ian force himself to tell Lena about Holly, She will be upset and break up with Ian, he end up losing both girl; Lena(after break up), however, can fuck Holly right at the end of Ch8
Yeah, sure. Just disagree with Ivy whenever she suggests for Holly to be sexual. By chapter 8 you can tell if Holly will be "corrupted" or not. (I use " because we don't know to what degree she might change yet)
There is no default, Ian is given a choice to accept Holly's romance or not. If Ian and Lena love each other then he won't accept Holly's love no matter what, but it's not forced either if Ian and Lena just have a casual thing together, Ian can still walk away from Holly (he gains a +1 in his Chad variable for doing this)
Lena and Ian have a variable each that seem to influence their preferences in some ways. Ian has ian_chad and Lena has lena_posh.
I think there will be some degree of change no matter what on the Ivy route, but you can definitely influence what extent it will be. For example, on the book fair trip where Holly and Ivy aren't friends Holly will be wearing her glasses as usual. On the trip where Holly and Ivy are friends, Holly will wear contacts for the first time after Ivy comments on her glasses being ugly early in one of their scenes together. I believe Holly does this independent of the change variable, as on that playthrough I intentionally avoided all instances of the change variable and she still chose to wear the contacts. So I think no matter what Holly will change some if she is friends with Ivy, but Lena is still able to control just how far things go.
Yeah, the glasses thing has its own variable that is used only in the bookfair section so far.
Eva is very consistent, at least with her communications, and generally she is with game updates too.
