I just completed this game 100% and I really like the story so far. It took me about 18 hours total with the walkthrough on Steam, but they came and gone as if it was nothing. It only left me currently with two questions:
1. When eating in at the hotel MC says about Vanessa (the waiter) that she is strangely familiar to him, but I can't remember seeing her or anyone like her (like her relative she later mentions). Is she a guest character from another AVN?
2. Why is Natalya hiding that she's Russian? Her first name is clearly Russian rather than German and she would also not have to be careful with not using Russian words. It's not the cold war anymore that almost every Russian in the US would be suspicious.

Vanessa is from their first game that they abandoned (The Best Days of Our Lives), just a little shoutout. I wonder if her roommate (a real roommate) from that will turn up here to like hinted at?

The Nat stuff who knows. But there is pages and pages and pages of discussion about that here.

Ah okay, thanks. I did use the search function for Natalya and Vanessa, but both came up with nothing except for a couple (about 6 or so) posts that nat is a Russian spy and how to have sex with Vanessa but nothing more than that.

Here's a couple of discussion start points about Nat, to be or not to be a spy, to get you started.

I found those as well, but like I said, those don't answer my question of why she's hiding to be Russian, just if she's a spy or not.
We don't know yet. We don't even know if she is in fact Russian, that's just people speculating. Sure, she drops a couple of Russian words, but she speaks six languages, it's bound to happen. Natalya might have a Russian heritage as a name, but one of my relatives is named Natalya and we have no Russian heritage in our family whatsoever, so that in and of itself is not proof of her ethnicity.

Personally, I think the whole thing is a red herring by the devs to make us think she is a Russian spy, it's too obvious and she's a pretty bad spy if she is. A real spy wouldn't drop any clues as to what they were up to and any suspicion would be on someone you least expect, like Jasmine or Patricia. But I know there are many people that disagree with me.

She says in game that she is German (from the former East Germany), that her father is a diplomat dealing with business interests abroad, and that her mother was Russian. She is probably the 3rd or 4th oldest of the girls in your orbit in the game (28, I think).

Yeah but that is the weird part. First she says her mother was Russian, but every other time after that she tries to hide it. There are also inconsistencies with her stories that consider Germany. I also wonder why she slipped up that she has done "operations" before.

She might be a red herring in the bigger story, but what she says just don't add up over the whole of act 1.

That's the fun part, isn't it?

What do you think is better for Jasmine's path?
Let her be the only LI on the playthrough OR do not reject Veronica (and even sometimes fuck her when it's not crossing over Jasmine's scenes) so that Jammin could keep teasing V? Since the redhead finds such pleasure in it.
And another fork here is whether to bring Jasmine to the conference alone OR with V for teasing her and also with Nat for the threesome in sauna scene?
You don't get the sauna scene threesome with Nat and Jasmine if you are on the Jasmine path, so there's no plus side to taking Nat to the conference on the Jasmine path.

Can you join the Jammin path after that? I was going to do a "bad boy" run and hit those students, but love those Nat scenes...

What makes me suspicious the most is that she moves next door to the MC's best friend, shares a love of physics, expresses interest, is instantly flirty and seductive, blows MC, etc. This seems totally like an espionage setup. The father being a diplomat and her recommendation from the State Department just magnifies this.

Are you sure that's the case? Because I'm pretty certain I am on Jasmine's path and I got the threesome.

If you are in relationship with both - you get a double BJ.
Just Nat - you'll fuck them.
Just Jasmine - a who's boobs are better test.
