No, Alistair is pretty strongly hinted to be gay in the game. Having a gay character doesn't mean they're a potential LI though.Gag in the forums, but not in the game, right? I got that impression from my first playthrough, and there were very ambiguous hints throughout, but they can mean so many other things. Can you imagine the nerdrage if he becomes a full-on LI?
The same things indicating gay indicate that he's into the MC. They are very close. Also, to be clear, the "
" indicates that I was intending this to be a joke. I understand that language can be unclear, hence using the emoji.
Ah yeah, I got that at least the last sentence was a joke, but it was still a little unclear if the rest of your statement was or not.The same things indicating gay indicate that he's into the MC. They are very close. Also, to be clear, the "
I think he is impotent or asexual. Valentine said in their conversation that he never saw him date anyone. They have been friends for quite a long time, if Alistair was gay, wouldn't Valentine have seen him with someone at least once?
Not yet, but there's hints of some beginnings of attraction. It's speculated these variables will be important later on when it comes to the throuple paths.
Yeah, I had to play the whole thing over from the beginning. But strangely, that wasn't so bad as a catch-up.
There definitely will be consequences in the sense that the LIs will soon figure out that you are sleeping with each of them. You can only do Throuple paths with no consequences. Otherwise, I'm sure it wont work out well with them.
Clearly Elspeth knows the MC is sleeping with both her and Vi. While not enthusiastic, she hasn't set out any ultimatums. Also, some of the other girls are clearly aware of the MC's relationships with each other (Amrit, Vi, Kana, etc.). While I agree that it is unsustainable, it feels like there will at least be some "you gotta choose" warnings before things come off the rails.
I never committed to multiple girls but following what you are saying, then it will definitely have an effect if he keeps fooling around with the LIs at once. To me, Valentine would realistically not be a playboy and would really commit to one person. That’s how I imagine the canon would go.
Based on Stew's comments in Discord, I wouldn't worry too much if you're just with the main LIs (who all generally like each other) and haven't committed to anyone. See spoilered snip below.
So when you do make a choice and choose an LI/Throuple, the question would be if you can cheat on them with another LI. If it’s possible, that’s where you will definitely have issues.
I don't remember having the option to cheat after making that LI/throuple choice in The Author, but it's been a while since I played it and I wouldn't have chosen to cheat anyways. The LI choice was pretty close to the end of the game and I really only reminder a chapter or two and then the epilogues after making the choice.
