Pretty sure the two women were elspeths friends from intelligence? And the checked up valentine on behalf on Elspeth, she uses every possiblity to know more about valentine
Weapons could still come into play with the new boxing rival but i would prefer not to invovle weapons in this avn
I'm almost a 100% sure that's the case, and those are the women Alina or whatshername warns Valentine about that they are digging. Els also tells to Vi she pocked him behind his back, so it's almost certain they were doing Els a favor digging up Valentine's record (which, considering the operations he partake in must be heavily classified)
That scene happens in real time during Christmas when Els goes to her family. The ones in the scene are one of Elspeth friends from intelligence, the one who still work for them and Elspeth. The hairstyle was a red herring, you can see Els freckles in the last render.
Elspeth other friend died years ago before Els discharge from service.
Agree on the animations thing, and in this episode especially it was a bit egregious imo, like, I usually don't wait around for them to finish because I don't care, but in the Elspeth lewd scene if you skip a specific animation you'll lose some context of what happens afterwards, really poorly executed imo.
The thing is, I think with animations, "more" isn't necessarily better; it just feels worse, & makes the characters feel robotic (for lack of better term ).
A VN imo (though it is understandable if others disagree, guess it comes down to tastes), with its sex scenes I think benefits more with more tempered animation approach - using animation for very short segment of the sex scene, not just using animation for a huge part of (if not all) the sex scene which I think just diminishes the experience.
Game like GleenX's SandStorm & SnowStorm (2 fantastic games) I think does it really well; most of each sex scene are still rendered images with narration or banter between MC & LI, with really limited part of it animation being used.
So it's sort of a shame that the dev decided to go for the "more is better" approach for animation with these sex scenes.
And Elspeth is also my favourite LI, and although I generally liked the episode and her typical banter with MC, her path was a bit unnerving to me, like, her going from her usually easy going lass to a completely obsessed woman who tells MC how much she loves him a dozen times throughout such a small time-frame and practically begs him for his babies... felt a bit weird to me ngl, like too much of a stark difference between her behaviour in chapter 6 to her now
But it's not a deal breaker, still enjoyed playing it regardless.
Tbf it wasn't just Els who said the "I love you" line to MC in this update.
Both Viridianna & Kana also do say that to him a pretty decent number of times (only ones who didn't are Serena & Ines, given Serena seems to be more of a fling relationship, and Ines, well, despite the update speed-running her path, is still not quite there, yet I suppose ).
So, yeah, Els did say it a lot, but that line seems to be an ongoing pattern in this part 7 update heh.
With Els path, well I think the whole "obsessed with MC" actually already started in Part 6.
Remember that scene at Mallorca in the next morning after MC & Els had sex?
When they're by themselves, she asks for a "Morning Kiss" (which MC does, given it's Els path lol), & even gives him another kiss in front of V, Amrit & McNab - literally staking her claim saying "This man will be mine."
So I didn't feel as awkward about her behavior in part 7 felt like an extension of what we got in part 6 already.
Not to mention it didn't feel as bad as Kana's case with that LI's first sex scene (I think was part 5? Or was it 6? Don't remember lol) which felt like a literal flip of a switch to sex mode lmao

Well, she is doing that (given her reaction to MC revealing he fucked V), at least until things become official between her and MC.
And it's almost a certainty we'll need to make a choice between all these LIs (given dev's previous game, we had to make a choice for the definitive LI) it's more likely more and more these LIs will not be okay with sharing anymore, with more Chapters of the game go past.
Why trying something which is not updated dude (you seem to love this word)? And btw, it works. It's just not updated. Comprehension skills, etc... Anyway welcome in my BL. Oh and please, don't DL it when it will be updated. You wouldn't want to dl the work done by a child, would you?
Well, that was hinted earlier, in the 5th update if i recall. Though, I'd do it right after Valentine put one of the belts on his waist, if I were doing it. Going against the toughest matchup he ever had would've been much more climactic right after he became the champion.
I had to start over from scratch, again, I only played Elspeth's path, but I liked it, I really liked seeing how much Elspeth loves Valentine, she loves him much more than I expected, and seeing how happy she is with him made me happy too.
Good update, I'm happy, I'm not interested in anyone else, and after seeing Elspeth in this update, I won't even consider doing a gameplay focused on another girl, I would feel very guilty. If you haven't played it yet, leave Elspeth for last, play the other girls' paths first!
The animations are horrible, but I never liked the animations in this game, I only comment on that because it was mentioned above.
Something to report:
The whole scene of her blinking was with this on the screen, even with her blinking working.
I don't know if the dev usually visits the thread, so someone report it later. View attachment 3771187
We are in total agreement. I knew Els was the go to LI in this game from the moment I saw her, and even though I still expect her to be involved with, probably giving the order personally, Zaina's death. I think that would be the last straw of Valentine's demise. I already have so many scripts on how this AVN can end, and most of them end with Valentine's death.

I thought Ines and Vi as a guaranteed throuple, which could still be but there is no concrete proof in game. Now, on the other hand, i can almost guarantee an Elspeth and Vi throuple given the amount of thirst between them and the game jabbing at us about them.
Not to mention with fighters, there's different factors involved which may extend those months intervals in between matches, such as injuries, all the other fighters already getting matchups (so noone available for the fighter to fight at this moment), and others.
That could be 3 months, 5 months or even longer, depending on the situation.
Heck, take Michael Chandler for example.
Dude literally waited around 2 years (longingly lol) for Conor for their fight, only for Conor to pull out of their fight the last moment due to toe injury

I have a feeling that Vi and Ines is going to be the throuple esque.
My second choice would be kana+Amrit. lorkdubo
Els dont share tho.
but maybe somehow Vi enter two different throuples, seems too much...

Not so sure about Els & Vi though.
This update showed that both are incredibly possessive towards MC & see each other as a huge competition (something that Amrit doesn't seem to have with either of them).
And while there was a line from Els saying (iirc) "I could eat her (V) up." in her dialogue with MC and her congratulating V for MC shagging her, that effect I feels cancels out with Els saying "I'll make him mine. (and I don't interpret that as sharing lol)" & V saying "I won't lose to her (Els)." etc

While Amrit has a good relationship with Kana and is her fan, I think they have more of a mentor & student like relationship than a couple.
After the update, I think following could be possible throuples;
- Vi & Ines
- Amrit & Ines (these two have gotten really close and cozy in this update)
I think Els & Kana will remain solo exclusive paths.
I remember seeing those points when using KoGa's WT mod in the past, but he now stopped working on the mod so there's no way to check.
I do definitely remember Amrit having the "interested in girls" points though, but as for the rest I dunno.
But I think just one or 2 throuple options should be enough.
Any more than that, and I think it may become overkill.
I know it's never going to happen, but I personally would like to see the throuple paths given to the side girls, Serena/Katie, or the two ring girls, for example.
Although echoing everybody else, I think Vi/Ines is all but a lock.

You are missing the fact that the game jumped from Christmas to early spring at best, almost instantly. Creative works like books, movies, games are not real time. Apart from 24, and some others.
