Wait. Did Amrit hair style change?
I almost didn't recognize her, she's so cute.

pretty sure that's kana

No, I think they're referring to the one with Amrit and Ines

 

[Dr.TSoni]

BTW I know DR would be all about it her if she had a alternate form lol

XD

I think for the MC personality she is the best match

the only one that can connect with Valentine on such a deep level

Honestly, I think their "similarities" are very superficial, yes, they both have been in war and have traumas but on an ego level they are light years apart. Valentine has such a low opinion of himself that he doesn't recognize what he's built or the effect it has on the people around him.
While Els her ego is the source of her problems.

Fair points, tho I don't entirely agree on the ego part. For Els I guess externally she presents a big ego but idk she's also pretty self aware. But I particularly like how Els repeatedly calls out Valentine's inability to accept recognition. To me, that's not an ego thing since I do the same as Valentine simply cuz, idk, I find it uncomfortable, and I don't have a low opinion of myself.

I have found that interesting tho. Els is prob psychologizing that Valentine doesn't like recognition cuz he was previously recognized for something he thinks he didn't deserve (the fateful last mission) etc., which may or may not be the case. But anyway yea so far it admittedly has been more of Els pushing Valentine but hopefully in the next episode she'll continue opening up and Valentine will be there for her. Ur right tho in that the similarities might be superficial, so a better and more general term is prob compatibility. They have great chemistry, of which some of their similarities engender

She may come from privilege, but I don't see her that way. She seems to try to use what she has access to to benefit others rather than lord over them. She's a bit rebellious towards her ancestry, but not in the insane way they portray poor little rich girls doing it in TV shows, going all Patty Hearst on steroids and trying to burn daddy to the ground.

Yeah, I won't argue the point. My post was a little bit tongue-in-cheek, if you will; and I needed a third word that started with "e". I like Els. In fact, her and Vi are my #1's. It's hard to choose between them. I will say, Els grew up with privilege, as you point out, so it's hard to keep from having some of it rub off. Having said that, yeah, she's smart, focused, determined, disciplined, and headstrong, but most importantly, she is HOT, HOT, HOT; and not even a little bit bashful. Perfect.

Let's be honest here....if Els wasn't the colour of hair she was...she would not be half as popular. Every thread here...could be the bitchiest, stuck up cow around, fucks your brother behind your back, kicks your dog and insults your lil sister...and folks on this site be like...I <3 her....

Simps will be simps

While I agree with your sentiment on redheads in general (they really do tend to be overrated), you're wrong about me as an Elspeth fan. I'm actually not into redheads personally, preferring blondes instead, so Elspeth actually had to pass through a handicap to become my 2nd favourite LI in all of AVNdom.

I'm a red meat enjoyer as much as, if not more than, anyone else... but in this case the culprits are the big tits clan

Hard disagree.
Imagining her portrayed as both blonde and brunette, I think she'd still be very popular. Her model is very attractive on its own. In my opinion, what makes her so popular among fans is her character, her story, the mysterious aura, along with her bombshell body and angelic face. Being a redhead is just a plus. With the amount of attention she gets from the Autor, Els is basically a FMC in this novel. No wonder she's so popular.

This is one of the greatest VNs i've ever played, but also one of the worst. The reason is simple - MUSIC. There's [almost] NO MUSIC in this game.

I've learned about this game in the first place because Storm and Slockie - the authors of an absolute masterpiece Bare Witness - recommended me to play it on their Patreon page. And you should know that Bare Witness not only had a good writing and characters, but also a wonderful soundtrack with a well-fitted songs for each scene to squeeze all the emotions of love, hate, loneliness, or sadness out of you.

Music is important, because it deepens the immersion. When Viridiana found out about Davis' tragic death i've felt NOTHING, though i should've felt SOMETHING according to Stew's own ideas. Because there was nothing that would trigger emotions in me, not because i'm "dead inside" and can't feel. It's just impossible to feel it when all you hear in the background 90% of time is...silence. Absolute silence.

I want to hope that Stew would add at least somewhat decent soundtrack for Book 1 and Book 2 in the future. Cause there's some really masterfully created characters and really good writing here, but nothing to make you actually FEEL it. I even started to play songs from Bare Witness in some scenes at one point just to try to make it a better experience.

Stew is a dev that revolutionary technology used that allows you,the player,to play whatever music you like while enjoying the game.
This bleeding edge tech allows him to reduce the game's file sizes and allow true freedom of choice for the player,
to shape the scene as they want,by choosing their own soundtrack.
This function works with Spotify,Apple Music,Bandcamp,Tidal,as well with any cassette,CD,or vinyl player.
Heck,you can even use the radio !

I get what you're saying, but personally in my experience playing my own music results in either 1) generic music that doesn't fit changing scene moods or 2) breaking immersion to go find appropriate background music for a scene. And music file size is a fraction of that needed for renders, so that's not really a reason either.

I understand that not everyone cares about this, but in this case I agree with the first person that for me my enjoyment of AVNs is greatly influenced by the dev picking music that specifically fits the mood and tone they want to convey for the purposes of their story rather than leave it to a reader to guess their intent at the start of a scene.

Only a pleb would choose to listen to some free to use non-copyright protected music in a VN instead of listening o his favorite track on Spotify(or whatever platform) in the background.

Only a pleb wouldn't create timed thematic playlists for each AVN they're playing, to heighten the emotional impact of dramatic moments in the game...

 

[cxx]

Elspeth is visually hot, but she doesn't have a warm feminin personality. And she seems to be a little crazy.

are we playing same game?

My guy knows the plot, before even playing the update.

Always the bright spot of any conversation.

Only a pleb would think he can score a scene better than the one that created the scene. And I seriously doubt that you're Howard Shore, John Williams or Hans Zimmer.

 

[Ilhares]

Depends who you ask. I don't find Els hot at all. She's got the average pasty ginger thing going on, plus the gigantic cannons (which aren't my style), and she's got a touch of the crazy, without question. But to be fair, she's a woman, they're pretty much all crazy, and she seems to be doing the stalkery thing, unless that's just a red herring the dev is throwing in to confuse stuff and it's somebody else (such as her father) digging into his past.

I'm not trying to be judgy about the insanity factor, though, because she was in the shit like the MC, and they're both fucked up from it. Our lovely MC is seeing his dead ex and the asshole dead brother for Vi, so we can't exactly call him "not crazy", no matter how well he might be functioning in society in general.

So if Els is a bit nuts, so be it. But as someone who very much makes it evident she wants her privacy respected, if it is her that's digging into his past dirt, then she's also a hypocrite and can fuck right off.
