I can't pick anything...I don't know what i did wrong to get this...how to proceed?
Because you somehow during your playthrough didn't went thru Astrja, Astrid and/or Sonja stories to set the conditions shown on the screenshots bellow.

You can check the stories progression on the stats screen, my own on Astrid playthrough in the last screenshot, have playthrough saves for each LI btw (and yes I modified the str/dex/int values with URM lol didn't want to be bother by them). Any doubt feel free to ask me.

If you are playing WITHOUT mod it looks like you have reached the end of the sisters path (both).
If you have enough points for Astrja AND Astrid you should be able to choose

Otherwise try a restart with your last save; I had no problems to continue there.

Yeah probably is, I always play with mods because I play many games, and not only AVNs, so mods save me time and I can check faster each LI story.

Snowstorm for example must be one of the AVNs I have more separate playthroughs and worth it and it is very well done, the main strength of this game is the branching among other very well done things. Each little variation gives you much more insight on the story overall and all its different outcomes, that is how I like to play since I'm a "completionist" lmao.

I picked this game back up for the first time in quite a while and I was reminded that this is one of the few VN's that I actually enjoy the story. The characters are nice combination of fun and interesting so it's quite easy to get invested in the story. Most of the time I'll "skip unseen" my way through a VN story but the characters and dialog in this game are compelling enough to make me care about them.

About the only annoying thing is the 'stat checks' which gate you away from choices, I get that it's part of the gameplay but man is it annoying when you're 1 point away from a threshold. I had to reload old saves alot and make choices I didn't like to get the stats I needed for a particular path.

I got lucky that didn't need to go back too far back, but man I can't imagine how frustrated I'd be if I made choices in prior chapters that locked me out of my desired path. Thankfully, I had so many save files I could go back to specific choices and boost a given stat high enough to clear a 'stat check' later on. I'm kind of worried about future updates because my Int and Dex stats aren't high enough for me to be confident that I'll be able to follow the path I want and I'm paranoid about minor choices (like sex with Talia) having effects later on that ruin my playthrough.

That said, the payoff for my save scumming was worth it. Getting the Sonja and Astrja threesome was absolutely worth the effort. I love these two characters and getting the chance to 'romance' them into a 'loving threesome' was a great outcome. Orginally my choices locked me into Sonja solo but I was able to get Astrja with a bit of save reloading. I'm really hoping I can keep these two until the end. Sure, I'd like to add Yrsa to the mix but I'll be happy so long as I can take Sonja and Astrja as wives.

My game crashes on the blowjob scene with Astrid under the bridge, on Mathilda's route. I only passed when I held Ctrl with skip unseen scenes activated

I know there is many players that refuse to use mods and you probably are one and I understand it, but URM is always a great choice even for players that avoid it at all cost to use mods. It doesn't overwrite any game files and unless you make a very huge mess with variables rarely will bork your saves, may not be the most user friendly at start to use but once you "get it going" like you want it is the best tool there is for renpy games.

It will avoid that frustration you mention about a stat check or variables that aren't enabled because you can remember, monitor and change variables as you want. You don't even have to use it extensively and cheat everything and anything, you can just use it to avoid to backtrack on a save and repeat a bunch of content, it will save you a lot of time.

But again I understand if your stance is to never use mods. I wish you happy gaming. Cheers.

To compare I have the following data at the end of chapters so far (no cheating, no mods):

I don't think that we will be able to add Yrsa to the mix Astrja and Sonja.

I'm sorry to inform you that here in F95 is at least one game ( Ren'Py, 3DCG, adventure, sci-fi) that I know, that has
"NOTE:
ALWAYS INSTALL GAME INTO NEW FOLDER!
DO _NOT_ USE URM! GAME WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY WITH IT. "
on page 1.
Cheers.

I'm sorry to inform you that I always used the original URM that is in the URM thread (not the mod that is in the OP that says 0x52 mod) with Snowstorm and never had any kind of problem and never had any missing content because of it. The problem isn't on the tool, it is on the user that use it incorrectly or install it incorrectly, that is my only assumption.

But if you meant any other game, yes URM isn't foolproof and there is like 1 in 100 games I tried that doesn't work correctly. Also that kind of comment shouldn't be even used here since URM works well with this game, unless your goal was to rile me up lmao what you will never succeed with that kind of reply.

" DO _NOT_ USE URM! GAME WILL NOT WORK CORRECTLY WITH IT. " on page 1 of a thread where an active and very helpful dev is the owner of that thread.

I'm NOT talking about SnowStorm !

But I would like to avoid the assumption that URM always works.
Every tool has it's limits.

So tell me again why you bring this here? This isn't that game you mention thread right? And I never said that URM hasn't its limits or that is foolproof or its the supreme sum of the game tools on earth lol, I simply gave a suggestion and tried to help that user that with this tool some of those frustrations they faced would be avoided and at the same time I was careful enough to not assume that they were willing to use mods ever because I know some members are sensible about the use of mods and I respect it and those who have that view.

This is a bit of a personal issue of mine: because of all the paths I make a lot of saves. (I have a bad habit of basically making a save whenever I see a render I like.) That means as of 0.7 (last time I played) I had 249 pages of saves. That's on the low end for me for a game. Problem is, on page 77 I have my most recent BB save, on 149 I have my most recent DR save, and on 249 I have my most recent WW save. Clicking between them is... Hard.

I know I have no right to demand such a feature, but could we get a feature where if you control click or right click the page skip arrows you can skip 10x at once?

Rofl. Just because u like a render so much?
Sounds like a YOU problem.
If you like an image just press S on your keyboard and you'll get a screenshot (saved in your game folder) now you can put those in another folder and watch them as often as you like :D
You can even print them and plaster them on your wall in your room.. just saying :D

As I said: a very bad habit! But I'll give screenshotting a try.

Aside from this, I've just finished the BB path, now doing the DR. Does anyone know if this is a bug or not? When I'm at the Yggdrasil tree / secret village and I'm bathing with Elskorla, I'm given several options to back out which will give me Yrsa affinity and she asks me to call her next time I bathe... But she literally just rejected me because I'm the father of Nox's child and gave me the cold shoulder one scene before. I think it's possible that I cheated (I was last on this save back when it came out) to get Yrsa to come along, but even then it could be a bug? Or does that mean there could still be a chance for us?

There may be other alternatives to creating lots of screenshots, but screenshots are probably easier and faster than load and save.
For example there are some tools that can extract images from renpy games to view them all, but since you only like some of them you would have to sort them nonetheless.

To your question, i dont think its a bug, maybe unintentionally forgot to include an extra scene, but since she still should have feelings for the Mc, its hard to tell if there could be another chance with her.

And as far as i remember, the scene after you mentioned can go several ways
1. If you knocked up Nox she wont lay with you "on the hammock"
2. If you didnt reject Fate (no matter which path) she wont lay with you ""
3. If you rejected Fate (while sitting on the tree or even before) and not on Nox preg path, she will lay with you ""

So while on Nox path she "tries" to keep her distance from you but you can still earn points with her

Personally, i wish for a happy ending with a full harem path with the other clan girls too, but unfortunately that wont happen :D

I'm an over saver too, but I do mine in folders. For example, If I'm doing WW path, I move the BB saves out and put the WW ones in. Then take the WW ones out and put the DR ones to do that path. It means I have a lot less to scroll through and can start each path from the place I finished it.
