VN Ren'Py Race of Life [Act 1 v1.02] [Underground Studio]

[Dr.TSoni]

Forced/inherited LIs are always a tough one. Even if you might otherwise like the girl, I get the impression most would prefer to make the choice themselves, and the forced LI ends up being disliked.

Usually it is like this but Veronica has other problems, already at her introduction she is presented as a friend with benefits who wants to force our hand into a serious relationship

Getting it in cash and paying in cash without a bank record of the transactions would theoretically not leave a trail for the the tax office to follow. It would also mean the clinic could use that cash to buy things they want without declaring it as income too and them not paying tax on it either.

Let's be honest with all the mess MC is getting himself into tax fraud is the least of his problems

How does the MC clear the taxes on his racing and gambling? I doubt that the racing ring will offer documentation, or do they? I mean they could and they are not doing anything extreme

Great! Now I have to worry about the IRS in a video game as well.

I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure you don't usually declare your illegally earned cash unless you're laundering it first to try to bank it officially.

sure but the MC is raw dogging it for medical expenses.

The way I saw the interaction between the two is that the mc knew that V was interested in him as more than a casual hookup but was stringing her along. It would fit since he is an asshole before the game starts.

 

[Dr.TSoni]

Let's face it, it's her plan to get married to a guy who just got divorced for cheating on his wife

 

[Dessolos]

I totally agree with you; I found the way the MC ends the relationship with her to be quite scummy, and she ends up disappearing from the game because of it.

I personally didn't have a problem with it compared to my first time playing because my MC never did anything with her so there was signs for her that something is wrong. But yeah it still feels bad the MC never really gets a chance to let her know how he feels and end it till kind of late.

I never really thought about it like that. I'm sure it will work out, surely there's no way history could repeat itself.

how well spreed out is that info? in the ball Ali says it's is under NDA, the MC's boss doesn't know about it, so V could be in the dark

Perhaps, but at the basic level MC is a nice guy. V knows he was married and at some point their would have been discussion about why he's not married any more. I would think he would tell the truth, I don't think he'd lie to her. He's quite clear with himself that he did the wrong thing, regardless of the reasons.

As Milton Powers says, MC is incredibly honest about himself, what he wants and does

i think the girl who worked at the same company told about the affair to peoples. so spreed out the info about cheating very fast.

 

[SlavicBrah]

V is too pushy,doesnt give him space because her biological clock is running and she wants to settle down and have kids.MC naturally doesnt want to because he has a daughter to save and probably wants to get his wife back.Thats what i got from the moment his daughter was injured.Allison path best path

Pretty much.
The Allison path is arguable too good for its own good. Lily has so much priority that it seems out of place and character to spend time dating other women while working for her recovery. Rebonding with her mother to work for the same goal meanwhile, is the most therapeutic and sensible act at all.

The Lily drama may just be too important to allow the rest of the game to be relevant.

I find it weird that Allie wears a ring on her left ....ahhh ring finger.

maybe it's her wedding ring

or maybe it's a ring to keep people from asking her if she's single

 

[Omiga91]

both options are great news for the MC on Allie's path

both options are great news for the MC on Allie's path

I know brother she's my number one girl in the entire game

in fact I'm a monogamy player so I'm only focusing on her

but one of the things that really surprised me is how popular she is

I mean she is an amazing character but people usually hate the ex-wife

but not only do people love her, but they actually sympathize with her

I think it's because people understand how it feels to be cheated on

and I also think that's why a lot of people including myself do not like the MC

 

[Gicoo]

I mean she is an amazing character but people usually hate the ex-wife

Almost always the ex friend in media is toxic, responsible for the breakup, trying to ruin MCs present live and in the wrong. Occasionally they are harmless and neutral.
Rarely the blame is put on the MC, they are usually too good to do something faulty.

So the appeal is understandable.

She is justified and has the backbone to stand up for herself, she also doesn't nag the MC about his current life at all, all of those are admirable qualities, from a gameplay stand, it's a cool concept as a choice of a Love interest (if only V is this optional and not crammed into our throats) and it feels good that our version of the MC is better then the past version lol
