Does anyone have saves for the game, I recently booted my system and have lost all saves files
Not exactly. I agree with those who say that Victoria is mostly motherly figure in this game and she is an older copy of Rosie in many ways. All she has done was out of necessity, rather than ambition as in case of Sophia and Felicia.OK, then there are three. Or is it more moral to make porn (lead a double life), where she is ready to go to all lengths (or depths) to get what she want.
Yes, I saw it that way too. But isn't the necessity questioned by Donovan? "Well, there´s more to this than looking good, we wouldn´t need to go any further than this today. Doesn't that imply she could have gone Mina's way, as a model or actress?Not exactly.

The keyword in that quote is "today". It's never going to be "just model or actress", the only question is whether it'd take a little more time to get to the porn.Yes, I saw it that way too.

I'm absolutely not claiming Victoria didn't consider that factor, quite the opposite. I'm just saying that she likely estimated it as low enough it's worth a risk, and the game essentially proved her right.That's a facile argument in my opinion. The thought of her work being found out somewhere down the line by people close to her or her son circle HAS to have crossed her mind at some point; And if it didn't when she first decided to do porn, it MUST have when she started having those "akward" remarks from Chuck during thanksgiving that we have learned about by now.
I mean, that was just her being lucky that the people that found out wouldn't (or in Grace's case couldn't) expose her. She still was found out anyways, in fact she got as lucky as she got almost the best scenario possible since due to Edwin finding out on his own she didn't blindsided him(and determinantly, Killian) with the news. The problem is that now she doesn't have much of a moral pillar to grandstand with her "children" since if even if she wanted to try for Edwin or Killian to quit their assiciation/job for Chuck and to not only just think about the money, she has pretty much no room to talk considering what she herself choose in the past.I believe any possible mentions from Chuck are long-after-the-fact development. Even then, and even if it happened earlier, neither Chuck nor Grace made their knowledge public, which again validates Victoria's possible estimation that the word of her actions wasn't very likely to get out to general public.
I absolutely agree with you if you look at this statement alone. But here it is a reaction from Donovan to her statement that she hated beauty pageants.The keyword in that quote is "today". It's never going to be "just model or actress", the only question is whether it'd take a little more time to get to the porn.
You've summed up well what I was aiming for with all my questions. And as for Ian, his reaction remains to be seen. Once it sinks in and he's seen the interview?I mean, that was just her being lucky that the people that found out wouldn't (or in Grace's case couldn't) expose her.

Sure, in the same way people with 99% chance to succeed are "lucky" they didn't trip over that 1% chance to fail. Same way you are "lucky" every day not to get hit by a car when it's something entirely possible to occur and, following the logic in this thread, the mere existence of such possibility should totally prevent you from leaving your home, ever.I mean, that was just her being lucky that the people that found out wouldn't (or in Grace's case couldn't) expose her.
Funny you mentioned the car stuff, I almost got ran over by a car once because I was not paying attention to my surroundings and it was close enough that the poor driver almost crushed my dumbass foot xD I got REALLY lucky that the poor driver braked when he did or else I might've gotten my foot crushed.

It's kind of funny that you call them "polar opposite" and the next sentences bring a bunch of traits that they share. I would say Felicia and Sophia are quite similar as they both agreed to be a 'trophy', willing to use their bodies,I would say, for me Sophia is the polar opposite of Felicia. The later is driven mostly by passion, the former is driven by cold calculation. Both are very beautiful and intelligent. Both are equally immoral. Both are ready to go to all lengths (or depths) to get what they want. But still so different...
Victoria likely estimated the chance of bad outcome for her actions is low enough that it's worth the risk. This is the same thing people do when they choose to engage in activities which have potential, but low enough (for them) risk of things going awry.Also how does your comparasion work for Victoria?

I would say Felicia and Sophia are quite similar as they both agreed to be a 'trophy', willing to use their bodies,both are blond,etc. It what they get on their side of the bargain differentiates them. Felicia wants money so she can satisfy her hedonistic nature while Sophia needs a lever to get higher in the medical world, to have more access. It's actually Sophia who is driven by passion here.
Now now, that's just baiting for posts with that image of Sophia with her tits (and everything else) out--Felicia has redeeming qualities, an ass, empathy, painting, real blonde hair, a lambo, tan lines, and some big ole titties. Sophia has none of those.
Why do you assume that just because I think Victoria's not considering the consenquences of her actions stupid I wouldn't think that Edwin's choice of working at the Club without considering future consequences is stupid as well? My answer to both is yes, btw.Victoria likely estimated the chance of bad outcome for her actions is low enough that it's worth the risk. This is the same thing people do when they choose to engage in activities which have potential, but low enough (for them) risk of things going awry.
People are complaining how Victoria wasn't thinking how her actions would potentially affect Edwin's life, but you could also say that Edwin isn't exactly thinking how his entanglement with hardcore criminals could affect Victoria, should he and his business pals have a fallout, or if some federal force instead of local police got involved. Of course, Edwin is the MC and the player's avatar so his shit can't possibly stink, but, you know.

Sophia belongs no where in the same sentence let alone same universe as Felicia or any of the other cast outside of Warren and her puppet master. Feel sick even typing that.
Felicia has redeeming qualities, an ass, empathy, painting, real blonde hair, a lambo, tan lines, and some big ole titties. Sophia has none of those. If an edgy high school chemistry book was a humanoid, it would be Sophia. Mixed in with a little bit of Bill Cosby.
All you Sophia sympathizers are just typing turrets of gaslighting bullets into sane peoples screens and it’s disgusting.
No, it's the opposite, 99.99% chance people finding out, the only question was WHEN. She was extremely lucky (read: TD made it so even though he created such an unlikely scenario). Consider this: what where the chances that such a perv like Killian didn't stumble upon any of her videos (especially since Chuck must have had those videos in his collection)? And what where the chances HER OWN SON did while no one from his circle did? If these videos were such rare then how the fuck out of all people her own son discovered it?(...) Sure, in the same way people with 99% chance to succeed are "lucky" they didn't trip over that 1% chance to fail. (...)
I find it really amusing that you're posting that people who watch professional porn are perverts on a porn pirate site.I'm starting to think that most of you here consider Victoria retarded because that's your preferred scenario over her being a dirty whore.

If they were so rare how come all the PC owners of the club know about it? I doubt that Chuck told Kat (she does her own research and Chuck explicitly told Kat to not use that fact in her games because he's family). I could buy it if these were first 4 videos only but after her Donovan flicks there's just not a chance. We're talking here about a fairly big studio, with secretary, huge office and POSTERS of the videos they've produced (so I bet that somewhere out there there is a poster of Victoria).
Let me remind you that the town they live in isn't that big so going for the only "professional" porn studio in town was either utterly stupid or selfish. Porn studios like Don's don't make videos that only a handful of perverts would see, the circulation must have been high enough that it would pay for those posters, secretaries and a huge office and allow him to make another movie.
So yeah, the mosty likely scenario was that the first Victoria-porn Edwin saw was one of Don's flicks and after that he wanted to catch them all ™.
Also, the fact that Victoria was so ashamed of this suggests that her motivation for doing it wasn't as noble as most of you think. I mean a mother saying "I let 50 strangers fuck me in every hole possible so that you could get that PS2 for Christmas" wouldn't fly with any teenager I would think.
Lowering living standards seems like not such a bad deal considering the alternative of a risk that EVERYONE at school would know that Edwin's mother did porn. With each movie she did that risk increased significantly and once she shot with Donovan it was practically assured that it will get out sooner or later (we're talking about a woman who went to a porn studio in a town she was living in).
I've made that comment because i don't remember seeing Edwin getting criticized in this thread in such manner. Certainly not so repeatedly as it's brought up for Victoria. If you do see similarity, then we're in agreement.Why do you assume that just because I think Victoria's not considering the consenquences of her actions stupid I wouldn't think that Edwin's choice of working at the Club without considering future consequences is stupid as well? My answer to both is yes, btw.
And you base that number on... what, exactly? I mean, we both know it's pulled out of ass and the game itself basically contradicts this claim (because with such odds everyone would indeed know at this point... and yet they don't) but still, it's such hyperbolic exaggeration it really makes it hard to take all the ranting about it seriously.No, it's the opposite, 99.99% chance people finding out, the only question was WHEN.
It's a good question; maybe the game will answer it at some point.If these videos were such rare then how the fuck out of all people her own son discovered it?
This is extremely stupid argument. The most obvious answer would be: because they talk to each other. It'd only require one of them (be it either Chuck or August) to be already in the know, or recognize the name when Edwin was getting vetted as potential employee. And then tell the others. What makes you believe that Chuck (or August) wouldn't tell such thing their own business partners, when they're talking whether to hire her son?If they were so rare how come all the PC owners of the club know about it?
"The circulation" would still be limited to where it could be seen by people who are interested in "artistic" porn, because that's what Donovan's studio is selling. I doubt this means posters on every public corner.Let me remind you that the town they live in isn't that big so going for the only "professional" porn studio in town was either utterly stupid or selfish. Porn studios like Don's don't make videos that only a handful of perverts would see, the circulation must have been high enough that it would pay for those posters, secretaries and a huge office and allow him to make another movie.
