Yeah I would've much preferred to comfort and cuddle her at that point. Maybe the sex scene can still happen as they're cuddling and you have a choice to give her a kiss (or accept her kiss), not in a romantic or sexual way but more for comfort, which then could quickly escalate, or you just leave it at that and either way this starts the relationship.
Don't you think that you're basically asking for less consequences for the sake of having more options? Wouldn't that make the experience more linear, and make the previous choice have less weight? If Ian ignores Holly and has poor relationship with her, she becomes a "secondary NPC" in his life, a meer work colleague that he only interacts with at work. If Lena doesn't encourage Holly to go to the gym, then she knows there's no way that she'd agree going to the club because it's out of her comfort zone, and to add to that, Holly and Ivy aren't friends in this route (they only met once). Neither is Louise is Ivy's friend, but she goes there for Lena and Jeremy. If she isn't dating Jeremy, she doesn't go, even for Lena. In these circuimstances, Lena bringing Holly to party with Ivy would be like Ian bringing Holly to Wade's birthday party on Friday. Nobody else knows Holly except Ian, so it would be a pretty overwhelming and miserable evening for her in both Lena's and Ian's route.
You misunderstood again. Pay attention to what I say please. If you have high relationship (6 or more), ROBERT KISSES YOU WITHOUT ANY CHOICE. It's a completely different outcome, and Lena can react in 2 ways:
Not really, why should "does Holly do pole dancing?" be the deciding choice that means wether or not you get content with her in chapter 7? Holly tells Ian that her and Lena hung out at ate cookies, so clearly the choice doesn't impact how much Lena and Holly hangs out otherwise.
Which is completely fair and understandable.
Also a fair point, therefore I think there should have been a substitute scene, even a small one, just to reinforce that Holly and Lena see each other still. All we get is a dialogue reference from Holly in the office with Ian.
Yeah, I agree, you aren't wrong in you analysis of the circumstances and the characters.
No, I understood you. I'm just asking for a "Not looking for love tonight, try another day?" option in the middle of "kiss him" or "reject him," in the section I got.
I would've liked to see that scene! (And eat Holly's cookie
)
(And eat Holly's cookie
Because that's not who Lena is. She's not a virgin or a teenager on her first date. She used to be pretty wild in her young days. Kiss is not a big deal for her if she's interested. If she doesn't kiss, it means she's not interested. You could compare it to a similar moment with Ian on their first date, where she can step away from the kiss, but it doesn't ruin their relationship. The difference is, Ian makes her feel completely different than Robert. She connects with him on a deeper level. Lena knows that Robert is a simpler guy. If she doesn't kiss him, it means she doesn't like him enough. They barely have any chemistry. If she kisses him, it's for selfish reasons to forget about Axel, not because she feels something special for him.
What does being a teenager or a virgin have to do with anything? Lena's also a character that's still working out her past relationship, "not kissing" isn't out of character for anyone in that state of mind, that's just absurd to argue. It being a "big deal" or not isn't the only rationale for a choice of the nature I'd have liked.
Oh my goodness...
L-lewd~
Next you're going to demand something really explicit.
Like holding hands.
Funny because I had an opposite ideia about Lena. Not a virgin but...wild?
Um, Lena×Axel photos? I mean they count, right? Also taking off clothes in public without any problem kind of points towards exhibination.
I feel like what BloodyMares is trying to say is that Lena is not the wait three dates to have sex kind of girl. She is not like Ashley who you can mould to fit your ideals. She has a past and tastes independent of what you as a player choose to impose on her. Lena is someone entirely comfortabele with the idea of nudity and casual sex. No amount of making choices is going to change that. That is who she is.
Eva would need a bigger budget to implement every single choice that you and I would have liked. Let's keep in mind that Chapter 2 was made in a month.
So? The choice I wished for does not conflict with that. Being comfortable about casual sex is not the same as wanting to bang any option that comes along or not engage with them at all.
Which is completely fine.
And all the following events are completely fine as well, there is nothing wrong with it and I understand the rationale behind all of it.Apparently, when Lena rejected Robert's kiss, even if she didn't mind the date, she didn't like Robert's reaction that followed and wasn't comfortable with him to continue seeing him. And, mind you, in your situation, your Lena defined her opinion of Robert previously by saying "You're okay" (she doesn't even like him as a friend).
When Robert asks Lena about her opinion of him, she can say "I like you" (you didn't have that option it seems, otherwise you would've picked it for the desired outcome), "You're okay" and "I barely know you". If you choose the "I like you", then Robert feels confident enough to kiss her right away. If you choose "I barely know you", Lena can only reject him after that. If you say, "You're okay", then Lena can choose to agree with Ivy's earlier suggestion and go for the kiss herself just to forget about Axel, or she decides to reject the kiss because she doesn't feel comfortable with Robert. Again, you should've had higher approval to say "I like you". Isn't that what you're asking for with Ian's path? For relationship score to matter? In one instance, you want it, in another, you don't.
I don't think we should see anything as "the main route" necessarily.
