She clearly never thought to instead be ruined, and end up endlessly humiliated, degraded, and fucked by the very club members she sought to hobnob with, being their toy for the next decade or two
There's over 24 millions millionaires in the U.S. I think Felicia would manage just fine to still snatch herself one instead of the club becoming her only option for life. It's not like Elias is going to be eager advertising his wife took their open marriage clause a little too far. :whistle::coffee:

And how many are single? And a millionaire is not enough, what can you do with only a million? She needs at least a hundred-millionaire :Kappa:

It would be more difficult now than it was when she landed Elias. Why would a millionaire go for the 35+ year-old when there are plenty of 20+ year-olds interested in being their sugar baby? I'm sure some would be interested, but it's not like she will have an easy time finding one.

I mean sure it wouldn't be as easy, but on the other hand, there's something to be said about experience and refinement gained with age. Case in point, we have people in this very thread who go for Felicia over girls like Hana or Mina, which i think can easily be argued are pretty much on top of that "20 year-olds" pile. So evidently the appeal isn't as simple as "low age trumps all".

Tbf, relationship status are merely suggestions for a _lot_ of millionaires

Think Felicia would be fine being a sugar baby?

I chose to visit Feli despite being on the Hana path in the playthrough, because a) Hana understands the problems and stuff in the club and b) what is done to Felicia is beyond the pale, so I did not spend more time with Hana, but went to visit Feli to prepare her as best as I could.

As for the guys, your relations with them are important too, you only get some options if e.g. your relations with August and Ian are good.
Luckily I did make a save at that choice point (visiting Felicia or stay with Hana), so I just went back and played it.
It did kill me a little seeing Hana's disappointed face despite understanding (ooooof :HideThePain::HideThePain::HideThePain:), but here's hoping that promise of a rendevous later that evening leads to a better outcome.

As for Felicia, I'm unsure whether MC's interaction with her helped her in any way (she still faints just as she does if I have MC choose to stay with Hana) other than relieving her of boredom waiting.
But I guess any tangible consequence may be in the next two updates if any.

And yeah, I'm aware that the relationship with the male characters are important.
I have the relationship points focused on Ian & Dr. Chuck.

Why not August?
Cause typically August's relationship points clashes against relationship points of either Dr. Chuck & Hana, who both use non-brutal methods (compared to August who in essence, using violence is the primary way to raise up his RP).

Given I'm on Hana's path, no doubt I'd pick Hana's preference over August, and even Dr. Chuck, given that despite being an evil as fuck mastermind :KEK:, his methods seemed more in line with non-violence, and more with manipulation/corruption (he does tend to be soft when it comes to Ian and MC, so that was a plus too).

Various character can comment on the MC's hand, but there's a lot of branching. Ian will ask if he came along to visit Victoria in the morning. Hana will ask about it if you visit her home on the GF route. Felicia will likewise ask if the MC ended their art date with her alone (no threesome with Mina). I don't think anyone else will comment on the injury, but it's possible I missed something.
I told Ian about Victoria's past and he really appreciated it, yet when I asked him to come visit Victoria, he refused saying "Uhh... I have breakfast with Uncle Chuck" which MC thinks in his monlogue "BS."

Hana (I'm on Hana goth gf route) notices the hand.
Is the Ian coming factor influenced by Hana gf factor (i.e. if I'm on Hana gf route, Ian will not come)?
Or is it simply that my MC's bromance stat with Ian is not high enough?

Looking at the Killian Bromance stats, it's 32.
I honestly have no idea whether there is a maximum stats cap for Ian like there are for LIs.
Makes me wonder whether I screwed up in some decisions early on in the game :HideThePain: if that really is the case (and Ian visiting Victoria in the morning with MC after finding out about her past is entirely dependent on bromance points).

I dont really get all the fuss about Kathleen being so vile (in this circumstance) and i like felicia but what did she expect? Was it really totally out of the imagination that what shes doing could somehow be leaked to her husband? In a enviorement where everyone is looking for leverage about everyone even when they are part of the group?

Its probably better for her that its out in the open now, at least nobody else from the club can use it as blackmail leverage now.

It wasnt Kathleen who put felicia's life in jeopardy, it was felicia herself. And about the pity some characters (like August, MC) felt for Elias ... is it really better to be unaware that your wife is a carnation compared to be aware of it (and therefore able to make a decision about it).

I get that we all like Felicia, shes awesome, but there isnt anyone to blame for this but herself imo.

Funny thing is and rather unexpected, after seeing Elias reaction and how he felt about the carnations in general (it felt like he has respect for the ... comitment? determination?), i feel like it could actually improve her marriage (at least if she wins) lol

Unless it's being particularly sneaky, the only flag the game looks for when determining if Ian accompanies the MC to visit Victoria (in addition to telling him the truth, which is necessary to get the choice to invite him in the first place) is "ianIntrospect == True", which is gained by encouraging Ian to introspect early in Chapter 4. Hana's status has no impact.

Bear in mind, however, that Ian will initially say he's okay with Victoria's past even if he's non-introspective. You'll know you're on the right track if Ian claims he's happy to know the truth before he and the MC go home for the night (right before the decision to delete Victoria's old videos). If he instead says he wishes he didn't know, that indicates he just isn't self-aware enough to comprehend how Victoria can be a devoted mother and still film porn scenes - hence Ian getting drunk and avoiding the whole thing the next morning.

I think I'm gonna test it out by replaying the game from beginning; well with ctrl fast skip of course :KEK: .
See if I can get a different outcome.

Got me thinking what her reaction is gonna be after the initial shock washes out; is she gonna overcorrect and stop seeing other people out of guilt? Is she gonna try to bail? Are we gonna get a "Felicia staying at Edwin's house to avoid the drama" arc?

This kinda stuff is why I reaaaally wish they hadn't ended the update there

I want one of the LI's to get fucked in front of Edwin:love:
There have been at least two occasions where this has happened so far; one is Rose during the second exhibition, if you choose to let Ian shoot the porn video with her, and the second is the Mina/Felicia threesome after Felicia's art exhibition date, if you choose not to interrupt them. Then there's Mina/Veronica, but that wasn't in front of Edwin (and also was just oral).

Hi!
Quite correct. When we look at the ages of the main and important side girls, we see some clear age "jumps". Mina is the youngest as a still teenager, Hana is early Twen. Then we have a jump with Andrea and Sophia next, older Twen and early Thirties. The Carnations are in their mid-thirties, Lucy and Dalia too.

Hi again!
I was able to max August and Hana points, also helping their relationship without relying on the "brutality points". I think you missed some early August points in your playthrough. :)

I think it's likely there's more clashes of conflict between August and Dr Chuck than between August and Hana (even though there are some, from what I recall not as many as between August & Chuck).
I have much higher points with Chuck than with August.

Unless you were able to max Dr Chuck as well in your playthrough somehow (which I kinda doubt, unless a mod is used to edit points) given game forces you to pick between Chuck vs August methods several times.

I had for a time both at max, but lost Chuck points elsewhere, not specifically because of differences with August. I could not remax the Chuck score later on due to several of his points attached to his brand of mental issues.

You can get maxed out relationship with both in this update. Or to be exact, you could max relationship with Chuck before, but in this one you can get 2 points with August, which brings him to max as well if you didn't antagonize him before.

The type of guy Fel's gold-digging for likely isn't interested in experience and refinement; they want VERY young and breedable trophy wives.

Fel isn't after a guy who made his first mil just last week; she's after a guy with "10 million dollars in his pocket". That's a guy with 100 mil+ in the bank, and not only are there a LOT less of those than just "millionaires", they are:

1) Likely to already be married. REALLY likely.

2) Likely to know Elias personally ("it's a small club, and you ain't in it", as said by George Carlin), so not want his "cast-offs".

3) Overwhelmingly likely to be acquisition-OBSESSED, (they didn't get THAT rich if morals or a simple life of wisdom factored over wealth), so probably obsessively greedy and selfish materialists, with a LARGE percentage being narcissists.

Such types tend to be massively concerned about the "value" the new wife brings, with a weighting towards not wanting a woman who has "hit the wall" of her mid-30s. That ~35 yrs age bracket is a HARD PASS for a lot of the narcissistic self-described "alpha' millionaires and billionaires.

THAT sort of guy is cruising for his second or third wife, because the one he bought 10 yrs ago is looking more like Fel is now, than say, a Mina, AND THOSE TYPES WANT A MINA; they figure they can train a barely-legal bimbo to look refined, but the plastic surgery used in maintaining "the old gal" has started to show its seams, so time to dump her and get a newer model. To them, younger is always better.

Elias is a weird case, because he inherited, so didn"t have as much of the greed angle, seemingly has SOME morals, and held onto Fel as she got to her 30s (tho is still cheating on her) but, for all his seeming niceness, still flatly refused to pay out even a pittance to help keep open an art school that was the one shining gem of hope in a poor community. The big-money bracket is a profile that oft pans out.

BTW.. Note how often Allison, who is on Elias's arm, gets compared to Fel. While the club arranged it, Elias might still have been trying out Felicia v2.0.

Ultra rich folks didn't get rich by having morals, or giving a sheet abt personality. Don't assume that demographic gives sheet one what a woman's experience brings, as this is the Epstein-flight-list crowd we are talking abt: they will be programming the new slave girl to behave as THEY please, anyway, so want the cup empty for them to fill. Young and fill-able.. That ain't Fel, anymore. ( EDIT: OK, yeah, she is fill-able (very fill-able)... Just not malleable. :ROFLMAO: )

PS.. The art of Honey Select games (like this one) keeps gals hot unless it wildly exaggerates their age, so how Fel would look IRL is debateable. She has access to top-dollar cosmetics and likely "had some work done", but probably is showing her age a bit, nonetheless, despite the game art keeping her evergreen.
