Wait, for Ian&Lena&Holly throuple we need to pursue Holly with both MCs? Do I understand right?

 

[ffive]

That's still not explicitly caring about Wade's wellbeing out of altruistic reasons, and can still easily be read out of simply wanting to make sure Wade stays in that place where Perry wants him. His concern that Wade could change as a result of the bad trip could quite simply be not wanting him to leave his stoner-adjacent lifestyle.

Sure, you can construct whatever headcanon you want about his motives, but at this point i'm not sure if anything short of Perry going down on his knees and proposing to Wade would convince you about his intentions not being just selfish. Perhaps not even then.

The thing is, at no point Perry displays motives you accuse him of, either. He doesn't say anything to such effect to anyone.

I see you spelt Holly wrong but I agree with you. #geeksupremacy

The girl that fucks Robert!?
Thats a eww, yikes and yuck from me,dawg.

 

[varpep]

There is Lena's mother too. My vote goes for her for least-likeable thing in the game.

NAH. Potato head Robert takes the cake for me. Eff that guy

You understand right, but it's just not true. The throuple can also be started if Ian only ever got in relationship with Lena (and only being friends with Holly) The only factor which matters is Lena and Holly establishing a close bond (lena_go_holly = 5) and Lena not cheating on Ian with people other than Axel, because then she'll automatically decide she doesn't want to drag Holly into her messed up love life situation.

Lol, dude it's not "constructing headcanon". All it states is that Perry thinks Wade is "back to normal". However given that Perry's desired normal is being an unemployed layabout who simply spends his days playing video games and smoking weed with Wade, and many of his previously expressed frustrations are whenever Wade isn't spending time with Perry, it's easily viewable simply as Perry being happy Wade remains in that slacker situation and that the bad trip hasn't also given him a kick up the backside to maybe do something with his life that doesn't revolve around being Forever 21.

Hey just because I'm not techno-illiterate doesn't mean I don't also hail from the pen-and-paper era. I actually still have an old notebook lying around somewhere, where I scribbled down details for my games like Diablo II runewords and what gifts my chosen bachelorette liked most in Harvest Moon!

There are so many terrible characters in the game, main villain is not part of the who is the worst discussion.
I agree eff that guy but Lena's mother is still the worst for me. Think about it, she knew Lena was working her ass off. She had to give up her dreams to help them, then she took all the money Lena gave and gave it to her brother who according to Lena, is good for nothing. She only realised she did not know where her daughter was living because she could not snitch on her crazy ex. Each time they talked on the phone, she was just bitching. If Lena wanted to hang out a little bit with her friends instead of taking an early train she acted like Lena murdered a sack of kittens and so on.

You understand right, but it's just not true. The throuple can also be started if Ian only ever got in relationship with Lena (and only being friends with Holly) The only factor which matters is Lena and Holly establishing a close bond (lena_go_holly = 5) and Lena not cheating on Ian with people other than Axel, because then she'll automatically decide she doesn't want to drag Holly into her messed up love life situation.

So Ian and Lena together. Lena has interest in Holly. Ian has interest in Holly. Lena not cheating.

So, what about Louise? Can Lena have something with her? Also what about cheating Ian?

 

[ffive]

Lol, dude it's not "constructing headcanon".

How else would you call something you're inventing without anything explicitly present in the game to support it? At no point Perry claims that he wants Wade to be this way or the other because this is what Perry wants for himself.

it's easily viewable simply as Perry being happy Wade remains in that slacker situation and that the bad trip hasn't also given him a kick up the backside to maybe do something with his life that doesn't revolve around being Forever 21

Or Perry is simply happy his friend appears to be back to his usual self because this indicates the bad trip he's went through wasn't harmful. But then he would be something more than just selfish prick with only his own interest in mind. And that'd be quite inconvenient for shitting all over him, so we can't have it.

Yes, Lena/Ian can have threesome with Louise without any impact on the throuple discussion, at least for now. Similarly Ian cheating doesn't seem to have impact, although it's too early to tell for sure at this point, because the discussion between Lena, Ian and Holly has yet to happen.

He earned a few points by currently being the only one that takes Lena's mother to a hospital that isn't treating her like shit.

Funny how you claim I'm "inventing without anything explicitly present in the game to support it" when you're doing the exact same thing. You're reading a statement of his and interpreting it as purely "Perry wants the best for Wade" when it doesn't explicitly say that. Meanwhile I'm reading that statement and comparing it to prior context of Perry's behaviour to interpret it as "Perry simply doesn't want Wade to change for his own selfish reasons".

Who is treating her like a shit exactly? Her husband does as much as he can as far as we know, Lena treating her well enough and they only have a problem if the mum does something awful. We don't know any other interaction she has. Oh, even crazy psychopath brought chocolate to her and was nice to her.

Yes, i'm taking Perry's behavior at face value, given there's no indications for me to do otherwise. That's Occam's razor -- the explanation that requires the fewest assumptions is usually correct. This is not the same as what you're doing, but the opposite.

The hospital. Normaly, she is expected to go to a normal hospital that won't treat her well, since she has no money. Seymour pays for a proper hospital that actually takes care of her.

Normally she was going to a good hospital but she decided to give all the money to her son. I don't know what you chose but in my first playthrough I let Lena gave as much as possible and it was a lot of money in the game and she just blew it all. I think Lena treats her better than she deserves.

Doesn't change that she goes now to an excellent hospital thanks to Seymour.
But if your take is to let her die, then Seymour saving her would be a moot point for him.

No, you're just taking his behaviour at the face value your view of him requires. The face value for me is that his "normal" of Wade is the one that Perry hangs out with and that's all that Perry's really concerned by.

It's a good thing on Seymour POV, maybe with a hint of ulterior motive which includes Lena. I was talking about people are being nice to her more than she deserves.

I think Lena can pay for the hospital too. When I played I had the option of paying, like 10 money units or something. Or Lena at least asked about the price.
