I'll be honest people, I couldn't give less of a fuck about Lena or her story, I just want my CHAD Ian to get knee deep in all that pussy.

Kind of curious about the possibility of him getting back together with Gillian though, didn't think I would be, but there's something quite captivating with the heartache.

A lot of the dialogue between characters was added so that it wasn't just sex scenes. Which is nice.
Wait, what? I ran a diff between beta and alpha build of this chapter, and (other than Emma scene) there's like, literally 4 lines changed if that, and it was script conditionals not dialogue.

Could you clarify what added dialogue do you mean..? (i'm now irrationally concerned that maybe i overlooked those additions somehow and missed out ;/

Is there any new dialogue besides the Emma/Charles stuff?

Well perhaps a bunch of dialogue wasn't added, but bugs that was causing the dialogue to be skipped was cleaned up? Alpha for me was basically only sex scenes, which is why I was fairly disappointed with the alpha release. But playing through the Beta I got a bunch of dialogue between Ian and Lena, Stan made some appearances outside of yelling about Jeremy, Holly reflected more on her relationship with Ian, Ivy called a loving Lena a prude when talking about the Holly Hole scene which I didn't get the first time.

Also, and this is less likely to be noticed. But Ian's opening thoughts at the start of the game when before he gets chewed out by Minerva has been altered. There were also some changes to dialogue between Lena and Seymour from the previous update. And, as usual I'm sure several other small changes to conversations and thoughts have been changed throughout several chapters.

This entire scene from the opening is new to me, I didn't have it during my 13.1 playthrough.

Edit: Actually, holy cow! So much of chapter 1 has been changed. Cindy arrives after Ian to the apartment now, and has a much more engaged conversation with Ian. Perry immediately comes across as more prissy and entitled. There is an entire scene of Ian walking home from his internship with his thoughts.

Im sure some people will disagree with this but for me this is the negative part of playing this game now,EK is always changing things,adding new dialogue,new music,new texts with images,etc...makes you feel like you are missing out if you are not starting new saves all the time.
Im jealous of all the people who are going to play this game for the first time when is completed:cry:

I wouldn't expect anybody to start fresh as often as I do, I don't actually make saves at decisions, instead I start fresh every time. But I do think it's worth it to at least start a fresh play-through every couple of chapters at least to see all of these types of changes that EK does put in throughout. It does show the amount of effort being put into the game, and that even if it might not be readily apparent if, for example, you only played the Seymour update last time; that a lot has changed in the earlier chapters, even if the Seymour update is pretty regarded on this site as very short and disappointing.

So... what do you guys consider to be the ultimate/canon playthrough? Ian and Lena 100% loyal to each other? Ian, Lena and Holly? Ian and Lena sleeping with max possible amount of characters? Setting up relationships and hookups between other characters as much as possible?

Def. Ian x Lena staying 100% loyal.

Ian and Lena definitely together, considering how much the narrative pushes them. Holly as the connecting inofficial third main character is likely best served to be together with them as well, her other options are lacking.

Chad Ian, Slut Lena and Slut Holly may be a novelity, but there are too many variations of it. Is Slut Lena focusing on Axel, Seymour or BBC? Stalkfap and potential porn star conflict with Seymours posh route etc.

Some people would say having Ian and/or Lena suffer horrible fates is the canon path.

The “best” play through IMO for the MC’s is the pure Lena/Ian, and maybe the Holly trinity (too early to tell if that causes problems but as of now seems like a good throuple). All other LI, besides Holly, have issues that make them not really right for the MC’s.
