I've just started playing this and I goota say so far it's pretty weak storywise (at the point when Ashley reveals the pic to MC).
I just got to wonder what the lawyer(Derek) that are so far as I've seen till now is in a loving realtionship with his wife, that knows his daughter hates Nicole, knows next to nothing about his wifes son and the two' relationship think is worse?
Someone blackmailing someone to make their life more miserable or a mother and son that as far as a quick candid picture show, is kissing maybe on lips or maybe on cheeks (how would he know?)...?
Also the starting point thing... 10 points for forgiving the woman who abandoned you for 10 years. Not the best start.
Everything else seems good so far.
It's also a bit weird that we lose points with seemingly only Nicole if we do certain "wrong" choices thorughout the game.
