I only somewhat disagree. I do disagree about the EX but that is you and me having a different personal opinion of her character. But I completely disagree about Jasmine being a partner at least currently , even tho they are a good match because of all their common interest. I think that belongs to Maggie personally. Yeah Maggie needs a white knight to help her mother but the way Maggie acts to me just feels she is the best for a relationship other than getting back together with Allie. Up to this point Jasmine doesn't feel like she be a serious relationship type with how she acts. Don't get me wrong she is fun and all but just not as a serious relationship yet. Tho I suspect that will change has you can see how she is having real feeling for the MC.I disagree. I don’t trust Veronica. She’s a woman who has convinced herself she’s nearing her expiry date and is desperately seeking to check off all the boxes to get married and have a kid.
It’s so obvious the sexually adventurous behavior was to capture the protagonist’s attention and once she’s married and pregnant she’s gonna put him to work, the blowjobs and exhibitionist sexual escapades come to an end and the protagonist will exist to labor for her while she constantly bitches at him.
He already cheated on his ex wife to get out of exactly that scenario and up until we the players assumed the identity of the protagonist his personality did not meaningfully change enough for him to attract anyone different than his ex. As for his ex she’s crap. There’s no reason to be with her anymore the damage is already done. She’s at best a friend and co parent but that relationship coming back is like reheating McDonald’s fries.
Thus it’s all about Jasmine. She has the same interests as the protagonist. She can keep up with him intellectually. She has multi faceted talents and she’s relatively easy going and still young enough that she isn’t jaded by a checklist leading into a traditional lifestyle.
The other two women are looking for a provider to latch onto. But Jasmine could be an actual partner.
The protagonist has some growing to do. The ex wife and Veronica are two sides to the same coin and will limit his growth.
If you chose Jasmine, MC is just any mid-life crisis fellow tired of his wife and kid and divorcing them to get a steady 20-25 year old girlfriend to maintain the illusion of youth and freedom. No responsibilty, no stability, just a fleetless attempt to stay young and an inability to move forward. He will get bored of Jasmine very soon and replaces her with the next girl to keep his partner young.He already cheated on his ex wife to get out of exactly that scenario and up until we the players assumed the identity of the protagonist his personality did not meaningfully change enough for him to attract anyone different than his ex.

Opinionated, brash, jealous, posessive, volatile and immature. Young with a long hair and big humps.If you chose Jasmine, MC is just any mid-life crisis fellow tired of his wife and kid and divorcing them to get a steady 20-25 year old girlfriend to maintain the illusion of youth and freedom.

She is the girlfriend of MC ... there needs to be no build up or convincing or anything. She is there for MC who is desperate to not compare to his still married best friend who keeps doing stupid bets and mindless investments in his hubris and hobby.Jasmine is way more than a attractive model.
has the most amount of scenes

This is the true crime of this game, Allison is probably one of the more interesting and well-portrayed characters in basically any AVN out there. The fact that there's a checkered past between them (due to the MC) but that there's still something being ignited in the background as they both try to navigate stuff is really well done.It's fairly odd how Veronica is probably the most disliked but has the most amount of scenes.
(And we still don't a have a good path Allison scene)
True. It hurts knowing the MC cheated when he had an amazing wife like Allison. Going through her route you get to experience more of their dynamic, combined with how vulnerable she is because of the accident. It really makes me despise the MC for what he did.This is the true crime of this game, Allison is probably one of the more interesting and well-portrayed characters in basically any AVN out there.

At this point, you could probably make a game solely around MC and Allison with how tense and complex their situation is currently.
Though, I suppose the delay will only make the pay out even sweeter.
I was just gonna say it, the slowburn is partially why the mc/allison dynamic is this good.This is the true crime of this game, Allison is probably one of the more interesting and well-portrayed characters in basically any AVN out there.

and probably a good idea for me to finally make a separate save for the individual LIs Because so far you can mostly get away with shit bar Veronica vs Jammin, but if you are both on Jammin and Allie routes, and they are both there at the conference, it could get uglyI was just gonna say it, the slowburn is partially why the mc/allison dynamic is this good.
Even without all the other LI's, they shouldnt really be more intimate already. Imo its fine that we didnt got a lewd for the good allison path yet, it will may change at the conference together and would be a great setup imo (being "forced" to stay in the same hotel room after they somewhat reignited their feelings already).
that might make me make a hate Aliie save since I dont have it anymore lol cause that could be interesting to see as well lolI was just gonna say it, the slowburn is partially why the mc/allison dynamic is this good.

That's a very personal take on their affair. On the contrary, Jasmine is part of his new life project, something ambitious, the kind of legacy they both want to make. Coupled with their common passion for racing, Jasmine would be what Allison never was. A proper partner sharing his dreams and his ambitions.If you chose Jasmine, MC is just any mid-life crisis fellow tired of his wife and kid and divorcing them to get a steady 20-25 year old girlfriend to maintain the illusion of youth and freedom.

Exactly. First thing Allison would do if the protagonist got back together with her is to bitch at him to give up his dreams, his car, the races etc.That's a very personal take on their affair.

I mean that's a pretty dismissive and hand-wavey attitude for the most complex personality in the game thus far. Racing cars and working on the battery tech is literally funding the life of Allison's and MC's child.Exactly.

The protagonist has a chance to explore something new and help his daughter in an unorthodox way.
In my game I’m playing 100% for Jasmine but I intend to repair the relationship with Allison in a very platonic way and do my duty as a father. That’s it.
I mean, have you even read last 3-4 pages?To each their own, but trying to downplay characters because you simply don't like them isn't exactly the way to go.
So Maggie is next?I mean, have you even read last 3-4 pages?
That's exactly what some people have been doing here, first Veronica, then Jasmine, no it's Allison's turn
Oh, I love MaggieSo Maggie is next?
yeah same but ive seen people hate / dislike great characters over silly things on this site. So someone will find a reason. Being blonde is probably enough for someone.Oh, I love Maggie
Honestly I don't even see any reasons why people would hate her
I haven't read the last several pages, only the last 1 or 2 or so but the discussions seemed fairly accurate as to how the characters are portrayed, his comment however would directly go against what Allison prioritizes the most, which is her daughter. It's why I kind of had to drop that comment.I mean, have you even read last 3-4 pages?
That's exactly what some people have been doing here, first Veronica, then Jasmine, no it's Allison's turn
It looks as hypocrisy to me, just a little bit))
But yeah, to each their own indeed.
Fair point. I’m a little biased. Allison reminds me too much of my ex and I don’t want any part in it. Doesn’t mean she’s a bad person just not a fit for me. Let’s see how her story develops as the game goes on.I mean that's a pretty dismissive and hand-wavey attitude for the most complex personality in the game thus far. Racing cars and working on the battery tech is literally funding the life of Allison's and MC's child.
Saying that she would instantly dismiss anything and everything like that when they're directly related to their childs wellbeing is being very facetious. Extremely so.
