I re-did my Loyal Ian x Cheating Lena official couple playthrough and here are some details for those interested:
- Ian should still only choose friendly options with other girls, no flirting and no dates!
- Ian chose all intelligent options unless it tries to start a route with other girl than Lena.
- Ian scolded Jeremy about some moral choices, like asking "What about Louise?" or denying more details about his adventures with Allison.
- Ian chose "beta" options like prefering cozy bar not nightclub and not liking nightclub music etc. (there is bipolar stat for Ian, if he is alpha or not)
- When it came to sex with Lena my Ian chose submissive and curious about Lena's past options, this turned into Lena liking to tease Ian and dirty talk in similar fashion.
- Lena flirts with all guys, even being friendly with Stan (even tho it won't go anywhere, she does some light teasing which can be hot if you like that).
- Lena CAN actually sleep with Robert and Mike before becoming official with Ian (my Lena even invited Mike over Ian in one event where she went home being sad, maybe after she met Cherry at Ian's appartment). Just don't choose romantic options, let Robert know it's just sex and don't ask Mike to stay the night.
- Lena CAN heavily flirt with Jeremy, but she must REFUSE to wake up Jeremy when he stays the night at Louise's room.
- Lena can fool around with girls (tho it seems you can't with Louise on this route, there was no options for me)
- Lena chose all the "spoiled" options, like running away from homeless guy, prefering nightclub, and loving shopping etc.
- Lena DENIED Seymour offer (I simply want her to use Stalkfap)
Obviously a lot of flavor options in between, but basically my Ian is now loyal boyfriend who wants to worship Lena and helps her with Stalkfap and is leaning into open relationship with Lena. Lena actually cheated way earlier than last episode at club on Ian, even tho she cut things off with Robert and Mike. Lena fantasizes heavily about other guys later tho and her inner thoughts suggest she wants to have Ian as a nice cuddly boyfriend who lets her sleep around, isn't that beautiful
Previously I had Ian be more assertive and then Lena cheat, but it feels like that relationship is heading towards breakup so I remade it with better chance to last in future. I realize this is not what many are into, but please don't drop 50 facepalms on my post I know some would like to know the possibilities of this route and this was my experience
I recommend mod that let's you see paths and choice stats, good luck!
