This is hardly an unpopular opinion. Francis is infamously interminable and insufferable in equal measure. Deep down, we all kinda understand why his wife cheated on him. We all hope that he handles his reservations and anxieties differently in the future because his internal monologue strains credulity at this point.
Well, "we all" is certainly an exaggeration. While I will agree on the "too much" part and especially some inconsistencies bordering on hypocrisy, I will still defend the general approach as a welcome change of pace to the usual "I will fuck every girl and not think about tomorrow - or think at all" approach most incest games choose. Because even while this is a fantasy and everybody is free to want to be free of consequences of their decisions, more power to you if you do, I appreciate a nod to the fact that there is more to it than just legal consequences or similar if you actually consider the scenario. And judging by past discussions, I am not entirely alone in this.
Yeah the internal monolgue has calmed down quite a bit compared to what it was like earlier in the game
What I think most of the people is trying to say, and i share the same opinion, it became too much repetitive to the point where you can skip through the MC's internal dialogue and you won't be missing anything. I feel it's not a matter anymore of trying to stay true to the MC's personality, of not being a man whore for example, and it's just swelling up content with a whole bunch of useless text.
Totally agree, sure it Fran can be annoying in his monologuen but is 100% understandable, with Becca and Lily he can accept taking the big step with some mind gymnastics like Becca is more his bestfriend that a daughter, Lily always hate him and with this he can mend bridges and recover the missing time, but not with Abby, he has been with Abby all his life, he was there when she was born, she his her daughter, the last memory of her wife so is understandable not wanting to jump a the first chance to fuck her.
I, too, welcome a change of pace and putting more thought into the consequences of actions. My problem with MC/the story is, that he does, in fact, NOT think. Or, more accurately, he's driving useless circles in his mind for weeks. He's not getting anywhere, he's not making any decision and holding to that, he's just floating around while feeling bad about it. The point where he should have made a decision is long in the past. By now, he should have made a fucking plan; that there will still be doubts and awkward moments would be understandable and realistic in my opinion, but his complete indecisiveness makes it impossible for me to like him.
Well said.
Yeah! How dare we have a prurient interest in a pornographic game where you actually, by design, are given no options except to either fuck your daughters or have a game-over screen for trying too hard to fuck your daughters?
Think about with whom she chose to cheat on him. His wife cheated on him because she's a lying cheating cunt. No more no less, and there is no "kinda" about it. Zero excuses for her behavior.
Ah, I didn't say excuse I said understand. You know, like that thing you do in your brain to figure out why A is followed by B? Like you would understand why those passengers in "Airplane" kept committing suicide when they sat down next to Ted Striker and he started telling his life story. You aren't condoning suicide. You just understood why they did it.
I think you are forgetting that's a game it's not real, and it's an adult game. I don't play these games trying to live some fantasy through the MC, it's made for entertainment. It would be better if the players have control over the MC through the choices we make and those choices would set you up in different paths and also would shape the MC's personality.
I know the above wasn't directed at me, but I still felt the need to respond - not to the admonishment of people who try to stifle discussion part, but to the changes you suggest in the game.
You've missed the point that this topic has been beaten to death over and again. Of the nearly 360 pages, you'll probably find 75-100 pages worth of morons kvetching that they don't like Frank's internal monologue, not just once, but some of the same people time and again. Those internal monologues are realistic, but I think the biggest issue isn't that they occur, but something which would last only a second or two in reality, probably takes people a minute or so to process in the game, and they don't like it. Well, tough. As for people going "get over it already", in game time it's only been a few weeks - is that really time for a human being to completely turn around their entire life perspective? Unlikely.
What bothers me the most about the MC is that he's not seeing as a person of authority by the same people he call daughters, whatever he says they take it as mild suggestions. He takes such a submissive role as he's afraid of the tiny girl, I'm talking about Lilith, as to the point that he's fine with her assaulting him...
If you can't understand that people download and start playing the game at a different time, it seems to me that the biggest moron here is you, it's a very simple concept to understand.
I don't think he is submissive, and I also don't think forgiving someone for something means you're okay with them having done it. His treatment of Lillith in general is about empathy for her emotional damage. She's the most fragile of the 3 girls, and so she takes the greatest care in handling.
Ah, you're lucky you had fists. We didn't even get fists to fend off the bears until we were 18. Also every way was uphill against the storm.
