What do you guys think?
They looked really cute playing pool, so I say they need to get back to that. Let Cindy and Ian live out their own heterosexual The Color of Money plot, traveling to small towns, shooting pool, fighting drunks with cue sticks, having hot sex on the billiard table, getting wasted in motel rooms, landing trick shots into Cindy's ass etc.

Finished mostly vanilla Ian x Lena route. Yeah, it was pretty good, decently written romance, for a weg. Makes you wonder if there are actually any "Lenas" among real models. Or do they lean more into being "Ivys"...

I am intrigued what will happen to some characters - Cindy among them, since everyone is posting about her. I wonder if she will get burned by Axel, and potentially saved by the Gang if you tried to fix her relationship with Wade. Or if by some miracle she even fixes Axel and makes no longer go after Lena.
Also, I wonder what are the end goals of Cherry and Ian's ex.

Cindy's storyline, in my opinion, is going in a weird direction. We've been trying to build a relationship with her for a long time, confessing our feelings twice, yet now she's saying:


There’s a limit to how much a person can tolerate before feeling like they’re just being strung along. Cindy has been my favorite from the start, but her behavior feels inconsistent to the point where you just want to give up on her (which, to be fair, you can). It almost feels like the developer is intentionally making you question or even dislike her with how outright disrespectful she’s acting. What do you guys think?
Try the good approach on her love path, IMO it's top writing in this game (and by extension the entire VN scene). And I would say yes, dev is intentionally making the character dislikable (specially during "bad" love path). At least if your expectations are that Cindy is devoted to Ian, maybe it works if you are a simp and that's your thing (being devotedly in love with someone who doesn't respect you).

That applies to many characters. Most of them are surprisingly unlikeable.

Cindy is self-centered from the get go, interacting with her is always one drama and another. Also, the entire relationship is an affair. Even now when she is available, dating her still is a hazzle, since Wade and Co. will 100% lash out to her and Ian.

There is no "peaceful" route for her. Granted, a relationship without a drama would be poorly for story, some sort of conflict needs to happen.
Surprising but in a good way for me. I really dislike when in some games (almost) all of the LI are lovingly perfect in their own way and they make you choose one (and I generally don't like harem games). Not mentioning a (very) famous game in this site to not derail the discussion too much, Persona 5 is such a game for me.

Personaly I feel like this update was a step in the right direction but the next couple CAN NOT be more of the same "I don't know what I want" from Cindy. Cause it's been this way for fucking time already... just show she's committed to the relationship or not so we can move our playthrough along already...

Unless it was changed, it gets conveyed through a dialogue by Wen early on. It was said there are 3 preliminary round fights.
A full tournament, with us participating in every fight feels too long for the remainder of the story to be told.
Yo, was optimizing game in preparation for (anticipated) Gillian route and found info on MMA.

It's not specified how many rounds are in the mma tournament, I think.

In real life pro-mma, there's 3 rounds in one bout (1 mma fight) and you win by either winning 2/3 rounds, KO/TKO, or submission. Wen just repeats this info. But what's confusing is that in the game, there's only 2 rounds per bout.

I've now read multiple times on here that all of Ian's LI are kind of "terrible people" or at very least "unlikeable". Can someone provide any reasoning for why that is the case? I understand that they all are obviously flawed and have weaknesses, but this doesn't make someone instantly "unlikeable".

On a different note, does anyone have a tier list for all the LIs in the game?

ffive Would you mind looking at the code for me? I'm curious about something on the Cindy route. Is there a flag or some sort of satisfaction rating for going all the way to dick in ass for her? Or is it better to stop at fingering and let her warm up to the idea of anal a bit more? Based on her reaction and Ian's thoughts she seems to enjoy it, but her admitting to it hurting and that she knew it would be too big gives me some amount of pause for locking it in.

I suppose at some point I should really just starting using URM and Choice Descriptor.

Currently the game records if Ian has fingered Cindy's ass or went farther with her in this regard (the value of cindy_ass variable is set to 2 and 3, respectively) but neither of these events affect her satisfaction variable. So it's a pure speculation at this point whether there's going to be any real difference in choosing one over the other.
