I agree with everything you said but I am planning, at least for my main save, an Amrit ending. That's why I don't see a reason to rule her out. MC will be there for her, for her career, for her family issues, for her love life. I think Amrit will be very good friends with Aoife and Chris.
that's why I said on my main save I leave them out and manwhore save is for the others unsure if id make a single save or not for them yet. Maybe Amrit cause she is one of the better developed characters imo.All these folks talking about leaving out Amrit or Vi or Ines: have you heard of the "save" function and "branching"? It's this amazing thing that allows you to play one route with one set of strict rules about "who", and then also allows to you play alternate routes that changes the dynamics and provides for an expanded panoply of interactions with all of the other LIs, and provides you with a means of honoring ALL of the hard work of the Dev. It's almost like magic!
all these folks never played the dev's previous game either, coz more than likely we'll have the same ending here... MC can play around all he wants during the whole game, and at the end he will be forced to make a decision as to who will he end up with. So there is no reason to reject anyone.All these folks talking about leaving out Amrit or Vi or Ines: have you heard of the "save" function and "branching"?

I still haven't played it (this one was already to Pt2 or Pt3 when I got into it). May need to go back and grab it - many of the newer things I've picked up lately have been a disappointment and I'm almost caught up on my continuing VNs, except for the ones that I have to replay because the Dev was a bonehead and changed Ren'Py versions halfway through...
Even tho I like Elspeth alot I do kind of think Kana, Amrit , VI , are better characters than Elspeth atm. As it feels like those 3 just have better character development atm imo and Elspeth needs more unless I just have a bad memory since I did mention I do need to replay this game. I can't even think what I like about Elspeth other than she is smart, and a really hot redhead haha. Just for you when I do replay this game on the next update I won't turn down Amrit and see if I change my mind about having her as a LI or not.I played the Author then decided give it a shot, never regretted that decision. I'd love to have a real life Amrit. Other LIs are all awesome too, maybe just Elspeth is not my cup of tea.
She probably has her own demons but she is too closed to MC which makes me wary of her. She did not give character development a chance tbh. She has fair amount of screen time, we met her father, McNab is one of her oldest friend, MC works with her at veteran centre etc. but she does not share anything about herself and just dodge the attempts.
I actually forgot about some of that yeah I can see why you would say that. I think im gonna wait till more revealed to make a decision on her which is why I been having fun with Kana and her at the same time. But yeah from a character pov Amrit does seem the best so far. I'm just not big on being a lover and mentor but i'm gonna ignore that on my next replay and see if I change my mind. As I find with AVN's alot of time I change my mind on some things the second time around.
The only person in the VN who could feel "love" for the protagonist is Vi, but in a family sense, not a romantic one.
Clearly we see love very different ways and I am not gonna argue which one is true. I think and I believe love is a spectrum that starts with attraction and depending on a person how far it will go. Relationships can start with attraction among other things but will grow with love. At this point in the story, they are over the attraction point but I don't see love between them.
Why exactly? MC knows Amrit a long time, being a mentor to her. Could she not love him as a mentor? Elspeth knows MC at least a year, she keeps a photo of him with photos of important people to her. Could she not love him as a friend? MC helps Kana to get used to neighbourhood, tries to help her fight with her demons. Could she not love him as a person? How did you reach to that conclusion only Vi can love him and it's just family sense?
I am not sure you are aware but this is an AVN, obviously what I think about something will come from what dev show to me and what dev told to me through other characters. This is how you create an idea btw, you get some info, think on it then create an idea about it.
What an assumption without knowing anything. I do not like Elspeth because there is something wrong with her. I believe that something is not worth MC to deal with. Yes, I do like some other characters, tbh I do like any other character before Elspeth, but you are absolutely wrong because even if I did not like any other, I would not like Elspeth anyway.
I honestly see defending your favorite LI part of the fun in some of these threads. As long as it doesn't get too hostile or toxic or trying to change someone's mind to get them to like your LI. But you are right it doesn't matter since you like who you like and it's just a game.
There is no piece of art that is above criticism. And discussing a creative endeavour with others – even passionately – is the only way that people can find out things they might have missed when considering it. Yes, sometimes it can get a bit testy, but if we look at adult VNs or even just STWA: Unbroken specifically, I think everyone has a main LI or path that they consider canon in a game, and it's honestly a lot of fun to hear those different interests being shared. How much other people's opinions of your ideas matter to you is ultimately something you control. For example, if someone decides that having a favourite LI or storyline means you don't comprehend the concept of multiple save paths, you can always just choose to not respond and then move on with your day. It really is that simple.
Who could even think of leaving behind the most beautiful French angel ?
good but still you have to choose 1 in the end and some 1 can lead to 3some.
Perhaps part of the devoted fan base find it enjoyable to nitpick and have exhaustive arguments over trivia and which girl is better, or why the other person is wrong in their thoughts and feelings, but the rabid inflexibility of people and their desire to impose their views on others to me in these forums is both unnecessary and tiresome. Some threads are so unable to accept viewpoints that vary from unthinking adulation of some character or plot point that it's simply not worthwhile to venture opinions of any kind that are contrary to the cult mantra. The Eternum thread is a great example of this. I don't think it's fun. I think it's childish and stupid, and while I enjoy these games as a diversion and have my own preferences I'm appalled by the amount of time and emotional energy(and vitriol) that some people spend glorifying a cartoon. I feel that people should just enjoy these games for what they are, feel comfortable in their own preferences, and indulge in their kinks and fantasies in a judgment free zone. Maybe it just gives people something to do in between releases, but fighting over these games strikes me as the opposite of what they're designed for. Opinions differ. I respect yours. I even understand it. I just don't agree with it.
