Again, very thought provoking.Well I do not know what devs have planned and even if there will be a harem it will likely be more an extended vampire family as full sexual harem. Coding and story wise it can be hard enough to give such major choices early on (we all remember fight feral), render wise for girls that interact a lot and are in same home it also becomes a rendering nightmare.
Now you can get around that by basically removing those girls from the game till ending epilogues and have two chapters of MCin the caves with big bad and in the dimension where VG rests, but this game seems to be dealing with the scotsdae situation and the relation with those women.
Considering Laurie, well let me just give you a thought, what if Sharon saves Laurie is not about anyone dying, but a choice Sharon makes that leads to a potential all three living together at end game instead of MC having to choose one of the two. Considering the amount of work it would entail I do not expect any potential LI to die before end of game or to be brought into a situation where she is there or not. Though it could be as vampire or thrall if not too much coding work for example.
I suspect that if anyone can die before end of chapter 5 it means she will not be a LI and we were wrong in that assumption and if anyone does in this or next chapter (which is not impossible) it will not be a choice, but on all paths.
I am 99% sure that there is a possibility for all the love interests to die. That 1% of possibility I have thinks your idea has some great merit.
Vampire stories typically are about loss. I am thinking we will have that. Maybe it is not going to happen as I am envisioning, but with 5 love interests potentially, and theoretically no harem or extended vampire mini clan type ending, we will have to start paring them down at some point.
Your thought of a 3some with Laurie and Sharon and MC I think would only be possible if Laurie were created as Sharon's childe so she loses some of her capability to be quite so disruptive, and then gets into regular cat fights over the MC. Now I do like that idea... Personally I am not going to do that as my first play through.
If I can not have Zephir, and I am thinking I can not, then I will give myself to Calisto. That is I think the "canon" ending. I know some think Sharon, but in terms of vampires she is relatively weak. Second I think I would choose Carmen. Third I then pick Sharon. Fourth Sharon's childe Laurie and Last Ivy. Now if I get some mix and match 3somes in this,,,, my brain starts to melt.
I am pretty sure we are going to scrag Astrid. I do not think she is a true Love Interest. I do think she can destroy the Sharon love interest story.
I know some want Astrid to be included, but I think not.
Anyhow I guess we shall see!
Peace
