it is not enough to do one of the above things occasionally to be diagnosed as a psycho-/ sociopath. "indicated by a pattern of..." and "without remorse or empathy for those victimized" are the key phrases here.
you need to score quite high (25 or 30 of max 40 points) on the PCL-R to be diagnosed with this disorder.

generally spoken personality disorders are difficult to diagnose exactly, because they are sometimes overlapping or floating borders between them. it doesn't help that the prominent classification and diagnostic tools, the DSM-5 and ICD-10, define the disorders a bit differently.
Generally you can consider that most of my posts are subject to /s (sarcasm) /jk /m (mockery) (rarely all at the same time) - and/or are a mild attempt at stimulating the brains of the persons who'll take the time to read them.
subsequently I was only trying to show that Ivy was Not a psycho (as was implied earlier) and that anyone could branded as one - apparently I failed in my attempt (sorry)

(I'll try to do better next time)

no, i am sorry, since your post was so elaborate with lots of links i took it as a serious contribution to the discussion. i guess because there are a lot of non-native english speakers (me included) those finer parts of communication are often misunderstood.
no offense taken, i try to keep in mind that your posts are more on the non-serious side. thank you for your clarification on that matter, Chelielz! :)

How very gracious of you to be sorry too - since we're both sorry (or have been at some point)
I consider the matter solved and that we can both resume our lives in the most appropriate fashion we'll chose to adopt/follow ;)

What a weird discussion topic. :ROFLMAO:
yes, lets end it here. i don't want to overstay my welcome (maybe i already have). thank you all for your input on this matter, dear fellow ORS enthusiasts! (y)

if i am allowed to summarize, i think it's safe to say that Ivy shows signs of sociopathy without necessarily being one. given her personality traits, there may be an unintentional proximity to this personality disorder.
i am looking forward to her development in future chapters, which may clarify some of our speculations.

thank you for your patience, please bear with me :)

I always put him down in my first playthrough because he looked exactly like Jeb!.

There's no way Eva didn't model the dad from him, his face looks identical.
Lo indeed. I didn't realize but anyway.. Politicians are usually not very hot.

I am afraid to play it. I played version 0.4 and it was quite long, but I wanted to go a certain path but i have to had a certain skill. So I had to go back a couple of times to get it.

Second week of development on Chapter 8 is in the books.
  • I've been focusing on drawing the main scenes for this update, and I have completed 6 out of 8. There are also other smaller scenes, which I've also been working on. There are 3 additional scenes that I'd like to include, but that will depend on how the development progresses.
  • I've produced around 50 drawings so far, not counting variations and add-ons.
  • This stage of drawing is also when the structure of the scenes is decided, what will happen, how many illustrations will the scene have, what poses and choices will the player get... When it's time to write the game I have already decided how the scenes will play out, and I use the drawings to guide my writing, so it's important to take time to make sure they are interesting.
I always feel that I'm lagging behind but I think work is progressing nicely so far. The colorist is already working on the drawings I have completed and I'm looking to finish almost all important drawings next week, so I can start writing the chapter in week 4. As allways, I'll keep you posted!

what i get from what she said is that chapter 8 will probably be more about the consequences of happened in chapter 7 and less about sex scenes. :unsure:

I always thought that was a given, especially with how Ian's final night and the bottle spin game can end. Both Lena and Ian can have been partaking in some rather saucy situations involving people they're potentially very close to.

Crossing fingers that Holly/Lena is a consequence. Eva plz.

Uhm. i wondering if the new update might or not focus on new unused pairings.

Lena/Holly, Ian/Louise, Lena/Seymour, Ian/Ivy, Lena/Axel and another combinations outside the MC like (Cindy/Axel or Jeremy/Emma).

I don't know.. watching the reactions to 0.7, i think if there will be any new pairing (i don't know how will Eva do the balance towards both paths, if any) it should be Lena/Ivy, Lena/Holly, and Lena/Seymour (Another photoshop, going further in) with Ian only having real options with Ivy in some paths.
I'm speculating watching old updates, i think that Eva will surprise us with some of the scenes outside the known progression.

Due to Ian's being far towards Louise or Ivy, and the theme of the chapter, consequences; i think that we might get as some say fewer lewd scenes as others are wondering.
With Lena having wider options, so she can establish new pairings easily and Ian having extra scenes with the existing ones.

I hope for surprises... using 2 MC will make some of the content predecible and dull if balance is a priority, so i hope for story going first.

I mean, Eva surprised before with the sudden Minerva scene, or with the Axel/Lena photoshop, so i'm kind of hooked to watch which kind of content the chapter 8 will deliver.

Well, there are a few unused backgrounds that have been shared around that seem to indicate adventures that can take place in an office (likely Seymours, but I suppose it could be the mayor's too) and an apartment with a camera prop (making us assume it's Axel's)

Other than that it would just make sense to follow up on the ch. 7 ending, no? I'm guessing the first part of chapter 8 will be about reflecting on ch. 7's ending.

Then there's Lena's music performance which will likely happen as well, I don't imagine it'll be much longer at least. Holly will be present for that, as will Ian probably, regardless of Lena's realtionship to him as well as Emma I think. I'd assume Perry might come along with Ian. Maybe Ivy and/or Louise? Possibility for drama.

It's going to be interesting what kind of reactions Lena can have with Ian/Holly. If we're lucky Eva'll write a large scene with many different outcomes between Ian, Lena and Holly and that point could also serve for the initiation of anything romantic between Holly and Lena. I'm assuming Lena will have to come on to Holly at some point and at the end of ch. 7 you can have a full agenda bar with her.

Cindy's anyone's guess. Axel will probably feature into her and Wade's content so maybe that will be paired off with some Seymour conent somehow?
