VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.4] [Eva Kiss]

[varpep]

Are you on the latest version?

Yes. Latest version and everything.

 

[SearingFive]

Yes. Latest version and everything.

Weird. I am on the new build on both URM and ORS, too.

 

[IlikebeingaDIK]

Welcome to having friends... sometimes it just do be like that.

You're missing the point. I'm not debating whether that happens or not irl, I'm questioning whether Eva was planning to have us go through all that for that outcome or she just decided to give up on branching further with Cindy and Wade still in a relationship because it was too much hassle.

 

[GokutheG]

It could also be to try and be realistic. What do you think some of the red flags for the LI's are? I mean Cindy has some huge red flags but would still like to see what others you have in mind.

Axel- Roid Rage personified that's a cheating pos. I know it's unintended but he gives domestic abuser vibes.
Seymour- Obsessive old creep that tries to blackmail you if you don't want his contract.
Mike- Has a girlfriend so why would Lena leave one cheater to get with another? If he'd cheat with you he'd cheat on you.
Jeremy- Lies to Louise in order to sleep with her. He's a massive pos.
Robert- He dangles saving Lena's job over her head unless she sleeps with him. At least that's how it felt the first time I played years ago.
Stan- Lena is his friend so he never went full incel. Has some anger brewing but he can still be helped.
Louise- She's extremely clingy and looks for attention anywhere she can find it. I'm just upset Lena seems to not take a possible relationship with her serious. Hopefully if she finds out she's been flirting with Ian she can "punish" her if she's her mistress.

Cindy- Similar to Mike. If she's willing to cheat with you she's willing to cheat on you.
Minerva- She's married so I'm not sure what a future relationship could be. Besides the whole cheat with you cheat on you danger.
Alison-I really like her but she can go off the deep end trying to attract Ian's attention by turning herself into a bimbo. I really like her love route I just block the bimbofication.

 

[IlikebeingaDIK]

You joke, but that is what I was envisioning for Ian when we first discovered the code for his tattoos and facial hair. Give him the Ted Lasso stache for wits / charm and a goatee for athletic / lust.


Is it actually removed? Or is it still unused?

Imma photoshop that shit. I have to. I NEED to. Make it my avatar too.

Mike: Lena is playing the same role as Cherry when she was with Axel.

Robert: Garbanzo human, and yes, he dangled Lena's job to get her to date him.

Stan: Has that incel anger moment if you reject his love advances using other option other than the 1st but he can be saved.

Cindy: I can agree with you on her casual path. But her romantic path felt genuine, and she was ready to grow as a person with Ian.

Minerva: Feels like a dead-end path, and Ian is aware of it.

Alison: Pretty good LI on the romance path. Terrible side-chick.

Axel: His comeuppance is due.

Seymour: Vile rich guy personified.

Jeremy: Will always be a side piece to other girls.

Louise: Very Clingy, feels rushed and forced on Ian.

Can you start dating Alison if in Chapter 5 you don't go with her after the club? Thank you.

Bruh!!! Just play the game. Why are you trying to get spoiled without even playing the game properly? Have a blind run, and enjoy. It's more fun than fishing for cookie-cutter answers for your playthrough.

 

[Lord Bradley]

It´s funny some of the stuff you can find when taking a deeper look into the code.
Looks like there was a full-on voyeur route planned for Ian, based off of his conversation with Allison re: the pics Jeremy sent him.
It was then apparently scrapped though.
An almost complete monologue about it is still in the script but not activated, then two scene placeholders. First Ian walking in on Holly and Clark in the office. After that slutty Holly supposedly sending him pics regularly. Later, in CH.12 there´s Ian spying on Lena and Holly at the beach.

Now that's some hot shit! And sure some may not like it, but why scrap it instead of having it behind some simple choices? Ian has a cuck route with Lena and nothing has blown up yet. Instead every update new character appears and someone is always either; Busy, Traveling or locked away in a basement in Holly's case.

Louise: Entitled waste of space and oxygen.

I've amended the error on Louise. No need to thank me.

 

[BlandChili]

The game does kinda make a point our of mentioning, at the beach house, when Lena and Holly want to shower. I assume that's when Ian would have spied on them.

 

[GokutheG]

I mean the second time?

Can you start dating Alison if in Chapter 5 you don't go with her after the club? Thank you.

OK chapter 5 is where Perry can go to the club Ivy dances at or not. You can still have Ian/Alison if you had them get together then you first meet Cherry. If you skip her at these points then in Chapter 6 she will go on the Alison/Jeremy route and Ian can no longer date her.

Minerva: Feels like a dead-end path, and Ian is aware of it.

Gosh, Minerva may be a bit older than most of the ROs, but calling her a dead end, that's just rude.

 

[SearingFive]

"Yet, the harsh reality of our situation was undeniable: she was a married woman, and at forty, she wasn't about to upend her life and family for some kid like me."

Don't forget that EK also follows that up with:

And that was fine...

In a number of permutations. Ian is aware that there's no white picket fence future for his relationship with Minerva. It doesn't mean it's a "dead end" when he isn't looking for such resolution but just some enjoyable sex on a side to begin with.

In this context Minerva not being lifetime option isn't a red flag as they were discussed, but a bonus. They can fuck without fear that Minerva will suddenly try to baby-trap Ian, like some other certain LIs.

(also, i don't want to make unfunny joke even more unfunny by explaining, but i was mostly tapping into a connection between old and dead there. It wasn't meant to be a serious objection /s

But yeah, I was saying dead-end as in there would be "no white picket fence future for his relationship with Minerva".

Lena has basic bitch tattoos

Still, a massive improvement over what Ashley had in the previous game. Her options were just straight up a catalogue of embarrassing shit you could safely imagine on someone like Bam Margera in the early aughts.

 

[FactualAligator]

is Axel gonna one-on-one with Ian in the future since Ian train jujitsu?

My man Wade is moving on! Good for him....good for him.

Indeed, Wade can now quietly continue his career as a gamer.

Now that Wade is unchained he'll be stealing attention of all girls. Emma is already hovering around him. RIP Ian.

Maybe?

Not with that belly

Wade just needs to hit the gym once in a while and he'll be fine.

Don't worry, he'll go to the gym and get personal tutoring from Ivy.

Behind every fat gamer slob is a beautiful succubus chaining him down. But Wade is free now, spread your wings Wade, and fly high.

Can't wait to meet the succubus who is chaining down Stan.

...Though maybe Stan has already been freed.

Here is the succubus that has been stopping stan's potential.
