I have to agree with this one. Robert is insurable, Mike is meh at best.
Ian got some meh choices too, one is a fat crack head communist and another one is an empty-headed blond.

lol I can't argue with that. I can only add with Cindy there is the Wade factor and how that will go betraying a bro and all. Also Axel is a factor so Cindy's path is interesting, less so Cindy herself. Emma well yeah a nut case but there is the Perry factor, the bro question, they live together, and how that will effect the inner circle of friends, less about Emma but the path is interesting to follow. Those are the least interesting paths for Ian sooo...

Lena's guys might see some interest maybe. Maybe if Gillian is Mike's bf it may get interesting but why would Lena care anyway. a non-event. With Jeremy it could be interesting if Ian had found out before breaking up with Lena but by the end of Ch11, it is probably a non-event as well. Lena's paths just aren't as interesting as Ians for me. However, I haven't quite finished all the paths yet so maybe I missed something exciting still to be discovered.

There wasn't a single new picture in the full version? I unpacked the files and I'm not seeing anything new. Normally they add a scene or two.

Dev mentioned some scenes in ch11 will be 'expanded' in the epilogue.
The way i understand it is :
beta : bug fixes
full : refinement (more dialogue/new little details)
epilogue : chapter ending + new scenes

In fairness, a Lena solo game would also include a npc Ian who would probably be more of a squarely good guy, struggling with his ex-girlfriend cheating on him, and struggling with his artistic pursuits. He'd be a natural foil to Mike, where instead of being the corrupting influence, Lena could be a supportive influence.

I generally think that Lena is more popular though because players like to see her corrupted. Ian's story is very much about bettering himself, but there's no one really trying to bring him down or make him fall. Maybe Axel or Seymour will become that to him, but even then, it's based on their relationship to Lena. If Ian ends up as mediocre as he started, it's due to his own lack of commitment. The closest corruption I can think of is the Cindy path, but no one is really encouraging him to make those choices and Cindy even tries to distance herself from him.

Conversely, Lena actually has forces working against her to try and make her submit to her or influence her. Axel, Seymour, and even Ivy are all trying to push and pull Lena in various directions that many would consider to make her less good as a person. Even if the characters in Ian's story are more interesting, there's very little conflict or drama in that path, outside of the Cindy/Wade situation, the Minerva job situation or what Lena herself introduces to his story. I'm interested by the involvement of Gillian though, because that does seem like it might introduce more conflict and drama for Ian's side of the story.

You raise some good points. When I first played I loved the Ian, Lena and Holly characters and how the Lena and Ian story arc progressed. Since then I have come back to the game and started exploring paths I hadn't explored before like Alison/Ian and slutty Lena path. I found myself less enamoured with Lena after exploring her darker paths. I found her bitchy at times and hypocritical on some of the paths. So I am struggling to stay engaged with her character.

I need to connect with characters to enjoy a story. So a solo Lena story is unlikely to appeal to me much at the moment but there is more story to come so we will see. I wasn't a fan of Ivy before, but she has grown on me as a character so you never know. Lena doesn't have to be perfect but less like my ex-wife would be good haha.

A Lena solo game would be perfect

I agree with you...
LLEENNNNAAAAA story is amazing and where she is present in the Ian it is good to make him a cuckold :cool: (the only popular possible path for Ian)

Ian story is simply boring in fact although it has some seemingly more interesting parts this is a "must" in order to avoid unbalance and absolute boredom, in fact I think Eva is spending a lot of effort to write Ian's part in an interesting way (I think the consistency of IAN story is the main cause of delay and rewriting)

Lena will be more and more popular it is her destiny.
pretty brunettes are definitely less boring than Ian's books
...thinking well Eva wrote the "perfect" job to make Ian popular:p

I did this route and ended up having sex with Holly. She and Ian broke up but they have some lingering feelings for each other. Ian and Holly became a couple but also Holly have a crush on Lena as well.

Ian have moments where is thirsty for Lena while he's with Holly and Holly feeling Lena as well.

I also picked the choice of Lena to dance with Ian on Ivy Party which clearly spark up some feelings and then Lena kissing Holly a couple times.

Now on this chapter I have Ian not opening up to Holly after sex Holly confesses that she's also confused on her feelings for someone else as well. It interesting because they feel the same way and they talked about it.

Then Lena got the inner monologue where she have the thought of three of them having feeling for each other.

I have feeling Lena will talk to them about it hopefully next chapter or soon.

More like the prized tourney event WE HAVE BEEN WAIT YEARS FUCKING FOR.

... And Ian-Ivy having a moment, FINAL FUCKINGLY...

Though given the nature and history and continued bullshit by EK, it won't happen and I'll very likely will trash this game in it's entirety having Ian-Ivy not happening twelve chapters in, 3+ years of bullshit.

Solo Lena game would be simply Lena rolling around with random combinations of Mike, Axel, Seymour, Jeremy and Robert. Oh, and Ivy and Holly. I mean, if that's your thing, that's fine, but, eh.

And Ian, as the nice guy NPC. Seeing the poll result, it's the thing of a lot of people
