When that big of a tragedy happens, almost every possible action is justified. You can close the doors, curtains and cry in your home. You can go to a bar with a dear friend. You can pick a fight with your piece of shit ex husband/wife. You can bet on and race in illegal racing. You can fuck around. You can go bungee jumping. You can even go bungee jumping without the rope. These are all justified and they all have one thing in common, they won't really help. They might ease some of the burden but end result will not differ. That's why I don't hold anything against Allie, she's going through the same thing, her actions are too justified. Considering MC is almost always sure that he will make things right (sometimes even stupidly optimistic about it) I'm not surprised the bar option is the one he selected to go with.I don't particularly care about V one way or another. I find her characterization interesting, and I also tried to cheat on her but that path doesn't seem to be coded correctly and you can't get on that route.
With that out of the way, you guys are honestly pretty cringe with your 'MC is god, bitches need to support MC or be thrown to the streets,' mentality. First of all, MC is the biggest offender of being insensitive about the fact that his daughter is in a coma. This mfker, after coming home from the hospital where he learned his daughter is in a coma that could take years to get out of and he is fucked financially, goes to the bar and starts making cringe as fuck puns with some blonde slut he just met. His attitude is completely detached from the situation he is in. He makes the occasional shout out to his daughter about how he will do everything in his power to fix things, but in reality, he is just out there having fun racing and banging chicks.
In truth, that is also glossing over much of the nuance and being overly harsh, but that's about the same level of assessment you guys are giving the girls in this game, whether it be the ex-wife or Veronica.
Truth be told, going to a bar and making jokes isn't what I would've done either. But let's say that the MC is an asshole, he can't care less that his daughter just become an eggplant. That doesn't make it okay for anyone other than MC and Allie to act them any less sensitively. MC being an asshole doesn't change the events from V's perspective one bit. Still her fuckbuddy's (notice how I'm not saying "boyfriend" or husband) daughter just had an accident and went into a coma. You try to communicate with him, he rejects. You have few options here too. You can try to communicate more subtly (without harassing), you can just be there for him no need for a verbal communication, you can fuck off until he's ready to communicate with you, you can even try to goad him to get some sort of reaction for his sake not for your ulterior motive, basically anything but trying to push your own agenda on him. These are the options... if you're not a total asshole yourself. Sadly, that's the case for V. She could've done anything and I would've been ok with it, as long as I believe her intentions are pure. But she tried to force her fb into submission because she's losing him (that's the probelm, she's not losing here, MC is simply not hers to lose, few fucks and not implying anything more in any shape or form doesn't make MC her bitch). I understand she can get jealous bc every other woman in this game is better looking and flirts with mc, but that doesn't give her the right to force MC to do anything.
I probably still would've been ok if she didn't have the majority of the current content. Since there isn't anything I can do about that, bitching is my most fun option
