This is just the start of CH2. Dev is breaking it up into chapters to have reasonably sized executables I'd saySo is chapter 2 ready already or is this just the start of chapter 2? since chapter 1 was literally only just released and its a combining of all the past 10? episodes.
Check the official walkthrough I posted here earlier.A question on the non-canon options for starting CH2. Does anyone have a list of the changes they cause? I played the canon version and there's a scene with a character who is in their underwear. Then I went back and made some selections for the starting decisions and the same character then appeared nude in that playthrough.
Brilliant, thank you!Check the official walkthrough I posted here earlier.
This walkthrough includes both chapter 1 and 2 so far, and at the beginning of chapter 2, the effect of each choice is listed there.
It all goes back to the old days in this country; the 13 colonies, the puritan, all of that stuff. This country has always been backward in that aspect in my opinion. Everything is sexualized here but once you get to the actual sex part, there's a lot of do's and do nots surrounding things. It's a weird kind of hypocritical duality.Great to see this story back with a strong start. I know some people don't like the MCs internal monologue but it still makes perfect sense in the narrative for me. He lost the girl of his dreams and doesn't want to risk losing his daughter that reminds him of her mom so much. "He sleeps with her topless" I find American's have an odd relationship with nudity ie nudity = sexual content. They are just breasts. For a lot of people outside the US, nudity is just natural.
I could have agreed with most of this, until they were in front of the judge for the divorce scene. Maybe she did it out of desperation, maybe it was out of anger, maybe it was just bad advice from a slimy lawyer.....doesn't matter. Ultimately it was her choice whether to do it or not, and she willingly decided to cross that line.Now I'm not trying to say that how Frank handled Lilith was wrong. An overbearing stepdad would have been much worse for the harmony of the household than a doormat like Francis. Only that Shannon said out loud, to Frank's face, in front of all the kids, exactly what her problem with him was. Why would she lie? It also doesn't mean that she didn't harbor resentment toward Jessica, but we have to take a moment to see things from her perspective. She had beef with Jessica that had nothing to do with Frank. We don't know what that was, but for all we know Jessica bullied her rather than the other way around. Maybe her loathing of Jessica had a very good reason behind it, and her rival "trapping" Frank into marriage really stuck in her craw. From her perspective, Jessica took something that was hers when she had no choice but to move away with her family. She could have handled the breakup better, but she was a teenager. Teenagers never handle breakups well. Perhaps she thought the clean break was best for them both and didn't know how much she would miss Frank until it was too late. We assume that Jessica was an angel because she was pretty, but it has been my experience that sometimes the most beautiful people are the worst. We look at Jessica through Frank-colored lenses. Also, just because she had resentment doesn't mean she didn't love Frank and Abby. Lilith's story shows that it is possible for someone to feel multiple ways about a person at the same time. Nobody would deny that Shannon and Lilith are a lot alike. Maybe too alike. It isn't uncommon to not get along with a person because you are too much alike. It wouldn't surprise me to discover that Abby was actually Shannon's favorite daughter, resemblance or not, and that part of her jealousy about their relationship was that Abby would never be as close to her as she is to Frank. It's just that we will never know if we don't see her perspective. There is a lot of potential in Shannon's story. It would be disappointing to forgo all that potential to let her remain a wicked stepmother trope.
Very much agreedI could have agreed with most of this, until they were in front of the judge for the divorce scene.

Once a line like that has been crossed, any chance for redemption is gone (at least imo). She can take a long walk off of the highest rooftop in the city for all I care.
That threw me off too. I get what the dev was trying for, but it wasn't quite right.I don't know if it's just me, but those eyes kind of scared me.
... which makes some tropes in games strange to me, like all the "perverted family member" stuff. Over here, if you're a family living in a house, you will see each other naked or half naked. It is not intended to and we're not running around topless all day or similar but with one bathroom for four people, or the hurry when everybody is getting ready for some big event, it just happens. So all this "spying on somebody in the shower/somebody changing" always feels silly, I've seen that dozens of times. Granted, in real life there just is no erotic component to it, so it might feel different once you actually fancy mom/sis/daughter.It all goes back to the old days in this country; the 13 colonies, the puritan, all of that stuff. This country has always been backward in that aspect in my opinion. Everything is sexualized here but once you get to the actual sex part, there's a lot of do's and do nots surrounding things.

But yes, it is a very weird thing here.
I would be inclined to agree if it was true that anyone was truly irredeemable. Or that redemption is the only purpose for having a flawed character. Flawed characters are to my mind much more interesting than blameless ones. I imagine a scene where Becca is "consoling" her mom and telling her that she has to fight dirty because she heard that Frank intends to do the same use her adultery to get sympathy from the judge and take everything. "You've got to fight fire with fire, Mom." Telling her the story to tell and insisting that she will be a witness for her. Right before she went to see the judge herself, bullying Lily to come along, and stabbing her mother in the back with the cold knife of treason. An ungrateful child is like a serpent's tooth and all that. If Becca did this, and the entire sorted afternoon was to her design, would we find her irredeemable? Or would we pat her on the head, the delightful little scamp with her five-year plan to displace her mother?I could have agreed with most of this, until they were in front of the judge for the divorce scene.

You should go read the rules for "Incest" that this site uses. https://f95zone.to/threads/tags-rules-and-list-updated-2021-05-02.10394/Good so far but ya no incest. You are raising other people's daughters but just don't know how to make your own, poor guy. Oh they did remove the incest tag, I'm shocked. People seem to force incest for step and inlaw family members.
The poster seems to know what incest is.You should go read the rules for "Incest" that this site uses. https://f95zone.to/threads/tags-rules-and-list-updated-2021-05-02.10394/
Here I will place that rule here for you but you may want to go read all the other tag rules.
Incest [Sex act between family relatives, including those not related by blood.]
Incest tag is still listed.
He said the tag was removed but its still there.The poster seems to know what incest is.
" 3DCG, Male protagonist, Animated, Corruption, DILF, Groping, Lesbian, Masturbation, Romance, Sex toys, Teasing "
He doesn't have any real children, maybe he will make some.
I can't put it anymore eloquently than MrLKX did (post #5639, sorry my brain isn't working well enough to remember how to link to posts atm), and I won't try.I would be inclined to agree if it was true that anyone was truly irredeemable. Or that redemption is the only purpose for having a flawed character. Flawed characters are to my mind much more interesting than blameless ones.

I'm not saying that Becca's more sinister qualities don't make her a more interesting character. In fact, you could say that she is her mother's daughter more and more each day. I hated watching Becca physically abuse Lilith in the elevator. Not to mention all the mental and verbal abuse. In my opinion, that was just as bad or worse than anything that Shannon has done. But nobody is marching around with a "Death to that whore Becca" sign. Sure Shannon is a liar, and her lies were laced with malice. But is that so much worse than Frank, who lied to his entire family for nearly two decades out of cowardice? Shannon still doesn't know that Frank isn't the biological father of Abby. Sure, in his mind he rationalizes this as keeping a promise. I'm sure that Shannon has some kind of similar rationalization. We all have a way of making ourselves the hero of our own story. I would like to hear how she justifies her actions. We certainly hear enough of how Frank justifies his.
