You are right. I replayed it, because I was 99% certain I took all the indifferent choices (no goodbye, no hugs etc) after her decision. The one choice that forced the scene, was yelling at the restaurant service for whatever reason. Apparently that got her too worked up and forced the scene :LOL:

I'm still annoyed the game forces him to be accepting even without the scene though. Last update she snatched the ring and fucked off, there was no "agreement" there.
I understand your perspective, but you have to understand where the wife is coming from too, I think. You knocked up another woman a month after you were separated from her, and she's never been able to get over it, for better or worse. Obviously, she's tried to suck it up since you been married since then but your son and baby's mother are back as a constant reminder of what happened, so she did something drastic to try and put her mind at ease.

Like I said, You may not agree with what she's doing but you do have to understand the person you love having a child with someone else is some tough shit to deal with

Um, is it a limitation of the rigging, or engine? I wonder why a professional basketball player, hell even a college player, would be around the same height as so many women around him? And before you say that they are players too, that doesn't even come close to explaining it. He is extremely short given everything about this story.

That is why I ask about the engine or rigging. Is it like this because of that, or has the dev never seen a pro baskeball player in real life and not just on tv or the court from the stands? 6'8" (2.032 meters) is not extra-tall in that realm. It is average. In a lot of these scenes, it is questionable if he is over 6'. And before you bring up John Stockton... he was 6'1. That is considered extremely short in the NBA.

For basketball, average height can be an advantage for a position like playmaker because they are required to be flexible and agile since u are basically main ball handler.

Thanks, that helps my point. Muggsey Bogues is the smallest point guard in the NBA. The exceedingly rare exception proves the rule. There are several references you could look up, but most of them agree with the average height in the NBA holding steady at around 6'6". From just one of those:
In 1952, the average height was 6’4”. It changed to 6’7” in 1987. Although the average height decreased a little in the subsequent years, it’s still taller than it used to be back then.

Right now, the average height of NBA players is 6’6”.
The average height of a man in North America is around 5'9". That is exactly 3/4 of a foot difference which is so far outside of the bell curve in comparison as to be off the visible chart.

But, this is all besides the point. The character in this game could be a point guard, but they average around 6' to 6'3". The guy in this game could possibly be 6', but most of the angles and scenes he is in seem to indicate that would be maybe the max. If that is accurate it would probably be at least mentioned that he was really good for being as short as he was, or that he specifically played point guard. I didn't see anything in the story about that though (could have missed it, to be sure).

I was just curious if there were limitations to what the dev had to work with and it wasn't a decision made for some other reason.

We are expected to believe that your 18+ year old sister/friend/roomate with arm sleeve tattoos is a virgin who hasn't had her first kiss yet on this site all the time. It wouldn't that much of a stretch to assume the dev expects us to make almost as much of a wild suspension of disbelief that this guy had played in the NFL at his height. I don't like either expectation, as they are both ridiculous.

It has nothing to do with the limitations of the assets or software. The developer is fully capable of resizing a 3D male model to make him taller and resizing a female 3D model to make them shorter. Part of the problem is that many of the female models created for DAZ are extremely tall. Victoria 8 has had much discussion about the fact that the model stands 6' (183 cm) tall. There is nothing wrong with selling a model like this as it's better to shrink a character than it is to expand a character if you want to keep all the texture maps looking their best.

Unfortunately, most developers with games here on F95 are amateurs who haven't put enough thought into their character designs. There are a multitude of games with the females towering over the males because the developer didn't bother to put in enough effort. This game just makes it more obvious because you would expect the MC be taller as a professional basketball player.

I have no problem with her doing that. It introduces drama to the story which makes it interesting. What I have an issue with, is him being forced to get on board with it. Especially since we initially got choices that showed he did not.

Wifey dumped him not once but twice. Straight up abandoning marital home the second. She should have figured out that idiotic "breaks" in adult relationships can only lead to ruin the first time. I get it's a mechanic to make her ok with sharing or whatever, but having hubby reacting like a dumbass going with the flow is jarring. That's the type of behavior one usually sees in ntr MCs and this is not this type of game.

I was planning for MC to completely ignore both of these walking red flags (wife,ex) on that trip and go hang with someone else, but this seems doubtful the way this is going.

I'm not sure why you're saying MC is a dumbass going with the flow. You can refuse the separation when she brings it up, though, of course she leaves anyway.

And then you have to think about the MC and his mentality. He DID knock up the wife and married her partly because of that and never got a chance to date, so he's confused on the separation being necessary or not because you never got a chance to have a dating life and see what's out there. He's trying to figure shit out too.

I think dumbass would be an apt description for someone realizing he maybe hasn't dated enough, AFTER committing for life with someone. Imagine if wife was also confused about that and brought it up about herself. This thread would be very different :LOL: .

Maybe it's my age, but when someone in a couple says "we need a break", the answer is run and never look back. No ifs or buts. Just run.

You have to remember the MC and his life. This is a guy who got married in college and got shipped off to the pros where he's trying to survive in the basketball league (remember he mentioned he was never superstar like Auri) So, you don't exactly have enough time to think about your dating life literally being a pro since you left college until now. You're not even technically retired yet. And he married her because he thought he was doing the right thing after getting her pregnant, which is why the wife wants the separation.

You keep calling it a break, but it's not that. You have been married to her for 20 years. So what changed? Your kid and his mother coming back! Lol. You don't have to agree with what she's doing like I keep saying but you keep acting like she's dumping you or throwing you away for no reason. She is telling you that she is willing to let you explore your dating options and come back to her.

And then in this episode you have a chance to fuck and start dating her anyway, and find out she has been looking up therapists you can visit together if you're on her route, So she goes against her own 'break' anyway

She's at least a bit of a cunt for that. I mean, she surely shouldn't expect him to ignore his kid, and at that age the mom comes with for that sort of trip. He had that one thing before they were married (with the girl who was his best friend) and then 20 years married. Then he has money and semi-stardom (though not superstardom) and doesn't cheat like he says most of the players do...

I'm not sure I understand why you're calling the wife a cunt. The wife takes you back after you get your best friend pregnant... and that's it. She never retaliated or did anything else that interfered with your relationship with your kid or baby's mother (at least nothing that's been mentioned in the story so far). She just accepted it and it's been eating her up this whole time, which is why she does something in terms of the separation.

So good wifey was just pretending to trust her hubby for decades, only for that facade to crumble when his baby momma returned. And pushing him to fuck others to justify her own insecurity. Again I have no problem with that being in the game. My issue is that even in a path that has them eventually separating, he isn't allowed to say "it was all your fault". Or at least it seems like that.

I refused her proposal, she took the ring and fucked off with my MC refusing to even say goodbye. I, as the player, should be having the option to attribute a possible demise of the marriage to her decision that I had nothing to do with. She abandoned the marriage so my MC should be free to pursuit others, practically as a single man. NOT because wifey has latent cuckold fetish that he plays along with. Instead, he is now confused and thinking maybe she was right all along. There is a disconnect with my choices there, I don't know why you aren't seeing it.

Ah, okay. You just want to be able to blame her for you getting another woman pregnant after a month's separation. You sound like the girlfriend who gets caught cheating and blames the boyfriend for not spending enough time with her lol. It seems you just think she's this horrible person when she made a mistake in college asking for a break and she should just suck up you impregnating someone else, which she did in by taking you back, but that's still not good enough.

You say she took the ring and fucked off when she is literally still helping you with getting your dream sports bar setup, and is willing to go on the trip where your baby's mother that she despises will be because she's willing to be cordial. Okay.

As for being single, as soon as you separate from the wife the second time you do not have to spend time with her again. I'm not even sure why you said you went to dinner with her because you can completely avoid that if you are not on her route. You do not have to be with any of the love interests (You can avoid any romance with the options I have seen). Only reason to spend time with them is for story purposes and to find out more info, etc

I think you're misunderstanding something. The premise of this game in terms of the harem and you dating other women is you getting your best friend pregnant and your wife being so insecure about that that she is willing to let you go explore and now you are on your journey with that and then you coming to a decision.

As soon as you separate from the wife the second time you do not have to spend time with her again. I'm not even sure why you said you went to dinner with her because you can completely avoid that if you are not on her route. You do not have to be with any of the love interests.

I was positive with her before her decision to bail. Maybe it tracks choices before that point too? Basically the way I was playing him was all about being a loving husband until her ultimatum. Then went distant in all choices after that.
