I am still hoping chapter 8 will actually advance Lena's story other than the corruption route. If not then i guess i will only focus on Ian. His relationship possibilities with Allison, Cindy and even Minerva are great.
That's it.
I have to admit that I will be severely disappointed if Lena/Holly doesn't gain any traction in this chapter.
Eva had that issue with GGGB. 2/3rds of the love interests werent all that great... Especially all the guys. All of them. I am assuming the guys are either cucks (Dave and your BF at the start) or knuckledraggers (Gym bro and Tyrone) again.
Thing there is I didn't do any of the guy routes in GGGB. I didn't need to because the lesbian routes were both great and so was the trans route.
Yeah. Just doesn't hit that slutty gf/wife niche. All I'm asking for is a nympho with a heart of gold... or at least a gold-plated bronze option with a few cubic zirconia around the rim.
From what I remember, you just need to find the best combinations in order to write your novel. The genre, the characters, the plot and so on... I don't recall any other way to get will points with Ian.
Ooh, I see what you're going for here. Yeah most games don't have that angle, which is a shame.
I thought the same thing when I first saw that scene. Then someone told me it was because they were under the influence of drugs at that time so maybe that could be it. Still, like you said, Ivy was acting a bit out of character there imo.
In contrary, I find it much easier to get will points with ian. I think mine is at 4, while lena is at 2.
It's your choices. Look through the guide on page one of this thread to get all of them, but here's a few. Can't remember all.
Ok. The following idea would NOT work in a sex-based game. But wouldn't it be interesting if they ended up together in the end in some profound way no matter what choices you make, but in very different circumstances, both good and bad, depending on those choices: Happy trad couple. Strung-out junkies. Murder/suicide. Mortal enemies. Heartless Manager/ Exploited Porn Star. Drunk Driver/Road Kill. Henpecked Husband/Rotten Wife. End could be heaven, hell or somewhere in between.
It's not the sex that makes the concept itself unworkable though, it's the emphasis on player-choice influencing the story of the game. It's one of Eva's central selling points.
I don't know. I think it could work as an interactive choice-based fiction with strong themes running through it. More of a dark art game. Part of the structure would even leave a path open where they've never formally met, yet their interwoven existences have a profound effect on each other's fates regardless. A little like a cross between Run Lola Run and Alejandro Inarritu's Babel, but in game form, with a surreal Requiem For A Dream/Donnie Darko tone. (To clarify, of course, I'm not talking about ORS anymore. Just a game using an interconnection concept).It's not the sex that makes the concept itself unworkable though, it's the emphasis on player-choice influencing the story of the game.

Sure, that story could probably work fine in a non-game format, but in that case it wouldn't really include the player-choice aspect which is what people are here for. The only way I could really see the concept working would be with a groundhogday-esque setup as a TV-series, with a time pocket that repeats itself, and no matter what Lena does she always ends up marrying Ian. Then she'd inch closer to a solution each episode while slowly falling in love with him for realz.
That would change the tone of the whole thing though!
