Yeah, I’m also starting to feel this way in some routes, their relationship can evolve quickly into a reacher/settler dynamic, where Ian thinks he’s scoring out of his league and bears with almost everything while Lena (perhaps subconsciously) feels entitled to do whatever she pleases. But I would like to point out two considerations:
I also think this change is needed, to align certain choices with certain main-character mindsets, at least if we want some variability with whatever villains or betrayals might be coming up for some of the less wholesome characters.
I think we’re already seeing some of that, aren’t we?
But if Jessica is present in the ORS universe, also is Ashley... Now is possible that Ashley is an Axel client and she can meets Ian for real! If Ian fuck Ashley, I think I'll break my cock cause of wanking!Hello Ash...
Sorry to disagree
. That would be true for a NPC but Lena is a player character and we are even in control of her yet we have no choice at all. Her reacting exactly the same no matter what we made her do before is not a 'reaction' of her. In fact the main critique is that 'the Lena we build' has no consequence at all.
I think the player impression is different though, because the whole Ian/Lena + Holly thing is directed at Ian himself, the other main character (and the one a majority of the player base probably identifies with, being male, you could theorise).
Frustratingly however, Emma mentions Ian's attraction towards Lena regardless of what's going on between them. In my playthrough Lena and Ian are nothing more than friends (even though their agenda bar shows
) but Emma still talks about them as if Ian is head over heels for her. Lena just says that she' exaggerating.
No doubt. I've actually seen the concept of Lena going home being raised as a possibility both here and on discord, where people generally didn't see what she'd go home for.
Yes. I sort of been looking forward to it, since it has been a part of Lena's story from the beginning. Added spoiler insert for my post. I suppose it is sort of spoiler.
Well, let me put it like this: I no longer play with the context of personally experiencing the difference, since I never play Ian/Lena past their first date.
This is actually part of the game and they've done an amazing job going all meta with it, just click around the options
I was talking in general, while I’m guessing you are referencing specifically to the Ian/Lena/Holly drama, could it be?Sorry to disagree
As I said to dundun I was talking more in general than about that specific issue. Conversely this..
This also bothered me (especially during a run where Ian is going hard for Alison while Lena isn’t interested in him at all). The truth is the code in that dialogue checks for variables like “ian_lena_dating” and “ian_lena_love”, but even if both are false Emma still paints Ian more interested in Lena than he’s at that point.Frustratingly however, Emma mentions Ian's attraction towards Lena regardless of what's going on between them. In my playthrough Lena and Ian are nothing more than friends (even though their agenda bar shows
I really do hope that Eva will have some consideration for us non-Ian/Lena shippers in some of the variables. I don't mind so much that the early game assumes the interest, it's part of the story after all, but it becomes frustrating when the NPC's keep inferring and implying interest where there never was any expressed.
