No kidding, I said it a while back, Vic looks like she has had one too many trips at the surgeon last year.
Most of the new models Ocean did share this trait, which is rather distrubing. Hope Amber remains the same.
Even though games give you multiple love interest to choose from there is always a primary girl. I believe cause of the constant work on her character and the fact she is the opposite to him she is being setup to be the primary girl. Sure people can say Bella,Nami or Mila(oh baby). When him and maja talked he said he didn't believe in coincidence and Vic said she wasn't even going that way she basically felt drawn to him. Not in those exact words but you get the jest. Fate basically.
It's a whole other matter with Victoria though, her nose, lips and boobs look fake as fuck, unlike the other characters. Maybe Mila also has too that kind of plastic solid looking tits with the classic badly done unnatural fake shape, can't remember on top off my head. Even though they're supposed to be natural...
Or they're looking at each other because Jenna's being an obnoxious drunk. But there's certainly a possibility of the cousin vibe. It does seem like a family circle. I do like your theory about Jenna, I assume she's on Joe's side or Dylan's side rather than Scarlet and Helen.
One wild unsubstantiated theory I have is Eva might be the trans character - when Ocean said they weren't in the game yet, I think that was before Beanpole had appeared in the rework. That's make sense that Eva would be incredibly self conscious of her body. The argument against this is of course Ocean's fanservice to E
, making it less likely he'd mess with a character he liked.We literally won't know for a long time, I personally believe Ocean will string the parentage along as much as possible, and just hint at things. One reason is it'll give away too much about WiaB if he confirms too much, and that'll make Wiab predictable. He needs WiaB to feel fresh and exciting with consequences that matter. If we know how it all turns out, he's lost our interest in playing WiaB.
Looks like Jill's model from Being A DIK with some edits/morphs, could be wrong but eh. Nothing special.
You mean, you like her earrings.
Ooof. Seems like some serious addiction. That's like someone waiting outside in the cold for their drug dealer or their next hit. If you're just trying to be funny, why?
The Steam Version is not the exact same as the Patreon Version, that much is clear already... even if Ocean said the changes are nothing major,
Cant believe that you will get it on Steam for 5...
Oh and of course... future updates will not be on steam until the season is complete... yeah iam not waiting for that
Albinism can manifest itself in different ways. This is heterochromia (William, Vanessa), this is white hair and sensitive skin (Sasha), this is severe sensitivity to the sun (Aziz), this is possible for Nami (gray-blue eyes and ..... suddenly those with white hair at birth can still mutate into dark red hair with freckles)
Yeah I think the only people that won't get it on steam or the ones that hate the edits / censorship , they barley or dont use steam so it isn't convenient for them like it is for me. I saw a post saying once saying the price is gonna be $15 and so yeah no $5 game. But I rarely see any AVN's close to $5 on steam unless it's on sale, the standard I see is 10 or 15 , which I think is fair.
YES!!! This drives me up a wall! I can't be the only one noticing how she got massive tit implants during her stay at the hospital after the accident. It's like she woke up, learned she couldn't walk and thought:
Well, Helen and Scarlet are sisters, so Kat would share some of the same X chromosomes as Leia.
Oh I didn't mean special hand made earrings, just like Leia's earring aren't unique in the DAZ world of AVNs. What I meant is that like Leia had signature style and the earrings becam synonymous with her, maybe Ocean's done the same with Ayua? I couldn't care less about the earring - I'm far more concerned about her steampunk butler look... I didn't think it was that kind of game. Better a look if she played in a western tabletop with Nadia
haha I would of never noticed if I didn't read this post. I dont pay alot of attention to the characters appearance while I play these games. I'm more focused on the dialogue rather then the render. but yeah those tits don't just look fake but super fake, which explains why I think Mila is more attractive than her lol. I think I played a game where a LI has a bimbo path and gets fake tits and all of that and they look more real / less fake than Victoria's. Good thing appearance doesn't matter to much to me and I like Victoria for her character and how much of a sweetheart she is not my favorite character but still in my top 5 or so for this game.
Admittedly kinda bias especially when you turn her down for a date a second time and she cries in your arms. Only nami has shown a true emotion for the MC when she cried after MC revealed kissed Bella.
You both can throw tomatoes at me, but I find the current Vic more natural than before.
Lol. I really don't like cinematics in this game, except for the first two with Summer and Vic.
I found her very special. She's the first LI to appear in the game and the one who triggers the MC to start fixing his life. And I like her path because it's written in such way that gives you freedom for imagination. Does Nika really have romantic feelings for her or he agreed to dating her because of guilt. And if it's the second, maybe it will develop into something real. Very romantic path.
*sigh* It was only the first season. There are at least 25 more chapters ahead.
Not even the one with Bella ditching the race , sniffing the MC's jacket and crying as she drives to the MC's house. That cinematics spoke to me. Before I liked Bella but wasnt a huge fan of hers other than the dialogue and banter. after seeing that cinematic again when i replayed the game on my personal AVN LI list Bella went from top 25 - 30 or so to being tied for my #1 LI. But maybe I have a bit of a bias but I feel like that cinematic is the best one in the game imo.
While it's true that Vic's incident put Nika on this path, the one who really triggers him to start fixing his life is Nami, as seen after visiting Victoria at the hospital in chapter 1.
Great post.I did some research to find alternative classification that are closer to what you were talking about. There's the pscyhopathy checklist that is sometimes used in criminal psychiatry. I think it can be reliable.
It ignores sociopathy. Like I said, sociopathy is just a popularized term used in different contexts. Instead, it makes a distinction between a person with antisocial personality disorder and a psychopath. A person with APD has a much higher risk of suicide than a psychopath who essentially should not have feelings of remorse and guilt. Simply put, a person with APD could be Bella and a psychopath is a typical recidivist criminal or a serial killer who also does not suffer from other disorders that can provoke a suicide attempt.
When the final version comes out and I play Bella path, I will check your theory by comparing her to the description of APD in the DSM. Or you can do it, there's not much to read.
As for Vanessa's case. I think we both made the wrong conclusions about her. Yes, she shares some traits that are very relevant in a person with antisocial personality disorder (sociopath/psychopath, whatever). But none of them are her predominant personality trait. Her core is narcissism. So instead of antisocial disorder, she may have narcissistic personality disorder. From what I've read, the problem is that they are on the same spectrum and are so similar that in practice it's sometimes difficult to determine which of these two disorders a person has.
People with antisocial and narcissistic personality disorders are tough-minded, exploitative, manipulative, egocentric, and deceptive. Vanessa has all these traits. However, narcissistic personality disorder does not always include impulsivity and aggressive. Vanessa is actually pretty bad at hiding her negative emotions, but she can control herself. When Nika makes verbal attacks towards her, she shows this angry face
She is obsessed with self-praise and self-love to the point where she more-likely sees it as the purpose of her life. It's the difference between being a narcissist and having a narcissistic disorder. We all know she's a narcissist, but it's one thing to have a tendency toward it, and another to have it as a major trait that interferes your daily life.

Now her behavior becomes clearer and more consistent. "That dumbo can't talk about anything but fashion and how she used to buy this and that-" said Bella after meeting her. I thought she suspected Bella and outplayed her, but maybe she didn't, she was true self the whole time. But that doesn't mean she's less intelligent and manipulative she seemed to be before. It's just that her abilities are actually limited by her disorder.
She's probably not too emotional, as people with NPD are described here. But everyone is different, even those who have common mental illnesses, they can still be predisposed to one or another behavior. Besides, we haven't seen her under real pressure. If Nika starts acting too aggressively towards her or ignoring her new attempts to get his attention, she may experience an emotional breakdown. And if that happens, then she will take off her fake mask of coldness, and we can definitely say that she indeed suffers from NPD.
My only problem with her having NPD was that she also praises the looks of people around her. I thought it contradicted narcissistic disorder. But I was wrong and they actually do it: "They may feel that they can only be understood by, and should only associate with, other people who are special or of high status and may attribute “unique,” “perfect,” or “gifted” qualities to those with whom they associate. Their own self-esteem is enhanced (i.e., “mirrored”) by the idealized value that they assign to those with whom they associate."
Damn. I may be reading too much into it as usual, but I think what we have under the spoiler is the most accurate and detailed description of Vanessa possible. I didn't compare her to the description of antisocial personality disorder though. Think I'll do it later. But I'm almost certainly sure that she indeed has one of those two personality disorders. Most likely narcissistic. Her behavior is too odd, but consistent, and falls perfectly under each point of the description above.
I didn't play her path, so I didn't see this cinematic.
Nah. I see the car accident and the scene at the the physiotherapist as significantly more impactful to the story and the character.
Thanks.
But these traits is for narcissistic personality disorder not antisocial and Leia definitely doesn't have NPD.
Fair enough I thought the same until somewhere along the way I changed my mind on my first playthrough haha not sure what changed my mind anymore. Probably was something simple like I loved her banter and dynamic with the MC not sure . I was only interested in Victoria initially.
I read this later... We still have 25 chapters, so what? We can judge what we have now. My point stands, Victoria is still somewhat badly executed compared with Mila, whose arch is much more cohesive. Or even worst Sasha, Zara, Nia and even Vanessa, all of whom had much less screen.
Agree to disagree, he's fucked without Nami. She's his conscience, without her he wouldn't know what to make of the incident.
The one who is primarily responsible for the improvement is Nika himself. Bella also plays a significant role and Nami plays a rather large role. But, I want to emphasize that Nika copes well at his own pace, and the best thing is when he accepts his own the decision itself, without forcing it. The scene with Nami in the hospital does not paint her at all, because she yells at the whole hospital and makes personal display to other people and her words, as if with a click you can let go of complete fucked up too.
