Mike being Gillians boyfriend at this stage is mandantory, everything else would suck from a writing standpoint.
Good writing can be predictable, if the characters previous actions and dialogues are consistent and lead up to it. The conclusion will feel natural and earned.

Keep in mind that many users here play the game multiple times. If you play it once, you may barely get the hints, but if Mike is revealed to be the boyfriend, this hints in your subconciousness come to rise and you feel satisfied because in hindsight, you knew it and the game told you so. It feels right and rewarding.


If Eva however made a false trail just to troll the veteran players by smugly reverting their expectations, its cheap and ignores proper writing at the expense for some easy troll points.

My biggest worries is that it will be Mark, going from the hints found in the code. Mark is such a nothing character and fine as a casual fuck and cameo, but he isn't build up to be anything at all.

I guess. Since it's optional in the first place, the drama of the whole thing, makes me doubt it'll really make an actual impact.

Kinda like Seymour's big play towards Lena. It's optional for him to trap her and she still makes new money when she refuses, so the drama of it isn't really impactful even when you play to get it, because you have to deliberately make choices for it.

Well, it's going to have impact for those who went for this option, i don't think there's anything wrong with it or that it makes it any lesser.

Just like Lena cheating on Ian only has impact for those who had Lena/Ian relationship and chose for Lena to cheat on Ian.

And Seymour drama imo isn't about money at all -- it's mainly another flavor of Lena being entangled with another man while in relationship. The main worry Lena displays while she's under the contract is how Ian would never accept it if he's found out. Which again, will only apply to these who have Lena/Ian relationship ongoing. Although, there's also of course the "universal" flavor of it, in Lena either willingly or not losing her freedom to make her own choices.

That's... not entirely accurate. I mean, it is, but there's more to it -- Alison's transition to blonde/bimbo is based on some conditions, and all of those conditions are about Ian:
Code:
default alison_blonde = 0                 # Alison goes for a change of style (if alison_jeremy_3some == 2 or ian_alison_dom or ian_alison_dating == False) ---> 3- ian compliments / 2- ian likes it / 1- ian doesn't like it
...
What I meant was that whether Ian is involved or not, bcz of Jeremy she is going down that route. Or I'm mixing up her conditions as I'm not playing her route anymore, instead jumped on Emma's route in club.

If before club scene Ian can dominate Alison than yes! you are right! Also alison_jeremy_3some == 2 which I also highlighted in your post above, is this check associated with IanxAlisonxJeremy threesome or BIllyxAlisonxJeremy threesome? If it is associated with BIllyxAlisonxJeremy than I'm right that without Ian she can also go on bimbo route.

Yeah you're right, everything can't be relevant to every player anyway after all.

Your example isn't a good one for me though since I don't view anything in Ian and Lena's relationship as at all impactful anyway. Since you control both perspectives I think their pairing is devoid of dramatic pacing. :ROFLMAO:

Other than Mike, another candidate which is probable, I believe EK included Jack for a reason and that is as Gillian(Chameleon's) boyfriend.
EK may have not included Jack just to cater fetishists but for "OH" moment! Bcz at this point everyone is damn sure Mike is Gillian(Chameleon's) boyfriend.

To each their own :> I like Lena/Ian because with having control over actions of both parties it's very easy to shape a narrative that you want, out of many many possible variations. And i can't help but approach these games mainly as a story-writing experience for made up people, rather than self-insert device.

Jack doesn't have girlfriends.

It is for Ian/Alison/Jeremy. When i said that you're right Alison can enter bimbo route even without Ian, i was referring to her doing it when she and Ian didn't have any sort of sexual contact. But the catch is, even in that case she is doing it to attract Ian's attention... so one way or another Ian is always at the center of Alison's bimbofication.

More like that he isn't the type to have one.
Technically Jack can settle with Ashley in GGGB, so it's not like he's completely incapable, he's just protecting himself from another heartbreak/disappointment. But i doubt he'd have one when he's still looking for quickies in clubs.

I don't self-insert either, though I guess I do play Lena, to an extent, as kind of a manifestation of my own interests.

I've never been a fan of the split perspective narrative, at least when it comes to events that Lena and Ian are meant to have different views and experiences towards, I feel like their interactions are just giant spoilers. I'd have more fun playing Lena and not knowing what Ian was getting up to and thinking all the time.

Agreed. Odd choice (IMO) to make it a multi-protag game...to me a large part of the succes of GGGB was that is was a sole FMC game. In my saves I couldn't care less what Ian is doing lol.

To a degree that's my view too. I don't play the game with a vested interest in Ian, but I still try to have fun with his options, as long as they don't hinder Lena. No Ian/Holly for example, and next time I play I plan to not have him and Jeremy pursue Emma either to see how she reacts to Lena when they're out shopping. I was kinda miffed that Lena coming on to her just ended up getting her to start gushing about Jeremy-sex.
