Hi again! Always nice to the arguments of other members!
Well, that is not a thing with Felicia! She is well-established by the game as a fullblown hedonist (which is one reason she sucks at taking and dishing out punishment in the punishment game) and loose cannon in bed, who is also "ready" under most adverse conditions. Having fun in bed with Felicia is most definitely not a problem!
Yes, but it is also clearly hinted at in game, that even as a pure business decision Elias giving Feli the needed money would have been a great deal! Elias has enough money to not feel much of the drain at all and more, imageobsessed as he is, it would have brought him lots of good PR.
Yes, we can see her shortly once during the photo shot/interview.
Going by your argumentation, I think you are not on the Felicia path, which would show you a great deal about why Felicia is one of the most liked characters in the game, whereas Elias is considered an idiot by practically even the in-game characters.
And while your arguments are not wrong as such, you overlook some important points, which is why I think you did not play the Feli path.
Felicia is not cold-hearted as you think, she might be blase about a couple things and her social competence is not the best, something she is aware of, but she has feelings and convictions. In addition, look at the punishment game variants, Felicia is the one who held back to most of all three! And there are several scenes in the game where we can see how grateful and nice Felicia is to persons who like and/or help her.
I stand by my theory I mentioned already quite a time ago, that a win by Felicia would be the best outcome of the competition. If we have good relations with Feli and ask, she surely would use her new influence to help Rosi get rid of the loan sharks. In the case of Veronica I am not sure she would help out, maybe, but not without discussion.
very nice discussion. very pleasant without hate
i played felis path but its been a good while.
if i remember correctly she just wanted to leave her hometown because she felt it was a dead end and boring. she did that by prostituting herself first to the guy taking her out of town and then to a guy paying her college fees.
now i can of course understand the wish to make it big, but its not like a life in a small town is a brutal sentence for life. it might be more limiting. but she chose to prostitute herself to escape a town she felt she was too good for (iirc).
of course every human hopes to find a good life and possibly also a loving spouse. but tbh the advantages you get by prostituting yourself will cost you on other ends, and this is what feli is experiencing now. she maybe wished that elias married her like another millionaire marries a beautiful good girl, but he didnt. he likely knew or found out at some point what he got. its no wonder he doesnt treat her like a sweet girl who married him. he married a prostitute-turned-golddigger. i cant remember anymore, but if he really refused such a good opportunity to better his image by helping feli, he must have had a good reason. maybe he only found out about her past after marriage? this would have surely turned him hard hearted. it almost seems like he specifically didnt give her the money to hurt her. maybe he felt betrayed by her not disclosing her former life? i could understand that. still, she drives a porsche, enjoys luxury in many aspects - so its understandable she is sad about her rejected wish, but its complaining in a still good situation.
in the end it was her choice to prostitute herself for more material wealth. but her expectation to be treated like a loved wife of a rich guy is on herself. she got there as a prostitute-turned-golddigger and thats likely why shes treated like one. its on her own. that her humiliating plan to become genuinly wealthy didnt work out in the end is her own risk. in my opinion she cant blame elias for that. it was a rsky endeavor, and it paid off somewhat and carries negative consequences in other areas.
regarding sex with feli:
she might be a very capable woman in bed and a hedonist, but that doesnt mean she will give all this to elias. usually woman imo only make an effort in bed if they really want to, and elias was probably neither an attractive man for her, nor did she feel compelled to longer make an effort to please him after marriage.
of course a lot of this is speculation about fictional characters, but it is a fitting explanation i think
i think she treats edwin and mina differently because she tries to re-live a normal life she exchanged for material wealth when young. so we could expect that she treats edwin+mina different than her golddigging business target - elias.
of course she wants to be happy, its understandable, and everyone enjoys being treated kindly, but can she really blame elias?
he basically just did what she did: used her for his own means.
