Don't get me wrong, I love her a lot, but Nami is better. My only moral qualm is that she deserves better than Nika
Your only moral qualm huh? hmm lol. One is a toxic violent hellcat "who hogs the content currently lol". The other is a cock teaser who gets sad and pulls back when you show interest and is your "roomie"*eye roll* lol . I like both as characters , not love interests. But my 2 faves have jack shit content lol. So I can't even blame you for your picks lol.
I mean, why have a sex scene with your favorite girl, when you can play pick up the soap with jeffrey.
... given the number of LIs eyeing Nika by the end of Season One... count me inWell I guess I'll follow the tradition of William Zane and fuck half the college including the female professors.
I'm fascinated by the idea of those two having a Bonnie and Clyde ending
If Ocean doesn't decide to give them an understandable status, the situation is ridiculous
Sasha?
No, because she has even less content than Mila and Victoria lol. I do love what I've seen of her though. But far too many of the Love Interests has so little content, I currently refuse to even refer to them as such lol. I was refering to Mila and Victoria. Who also barely feel like love interests. I've said it before , I love em...but they feel like side pieces compared to Bella and Nami. So I really can't even fault your picks at all
It's one of my biggest fears about SG, the management of LI: Bella and Nami dominate and others like Sonya don't even have real interactions because they happen through role playingNo, because she has even less content than Mila and Victoria lol.

Unless there are special circumstances dictated by the main plot, like in the case of the joint project with Bella, a large portion of all these LIs will always look like side-chicks. Nika has to have a special reason dictated by the main plot to spend enough time with a given LI so that they have even a shadow of a chance to have such an impact as Nami and Bella. Without it, it will always be half an hour walks in the park or one-night-long pijama parties.No, because she has even less content than Mila and Victoria lol. I do love what I've seen of her though.

I consider your link to Victoria's accident and if you decide to offer your emotional support as well as possible deciding to date her a valid reason for far more screen time. Also Mila getting pinned for the car graffiti,and breaking and entering as well as theft into the possibly dateing her. Cannonically moving in with her. I agree that Nami and Bella would have far more content considering how they are incorporated into the story and their relationship to Nika. However, that doesn't mean the difference in content should be so horribly stark....so obscenely non-existent in comparision or even without.
All of the LI's will get more screen time in Ch1. Think about it, standard chapter length is ~2300 renders or so. A longer main story chapter might be 3000. If Ocean delivers 8000, that means 5000 to share between all the LI's on solo paths (I choose these numbers for simple maths). THere are 14? LI's, so that would mean each gets around 350 renders, additional to where they appear in the main story. That's in one chapter.
True, what I said was simply my thoughts on the LI's content in the first season. Nothing going onwards. Which I hope is much better on that front. I still stand by not thinking of LI's outside Bella,Nami Victoria, Mila as anything even remotely worth of being considered of the sort. Until they get some decent screen time. I will say, Zara's limited time already made me turn a 180 on my thoughts of her while playing the game. It was a really good surprise. I do love something about all the other lady's though. I just want them to get their time.All of the LI's will get more screen time in Ch1. Think about it, standard chapter length is ~2300 renders or so. A longer main story chapter might be 3000.

I wouldn't read too much into the first season, it's like any RPG where they have the training level where you fight a rat invasion before being allowed out to the main map. Despite only 2 characters having specific 'romance' time, we do have an idea of all the characters personalities, and idea of who's who etc.
Nika can't feasibly visit everyone on the first day of college, Sonja's path might be the hardest because she lives under control, with her family dictation how she can socialise - so events like the tabletop will be maybe more important for her, as well as maybe skipping lectures to hang out with Nika. Her path can't make sense unless it has a slow start. Same with Sasha who has a bodyguard who looked ready to intercept NIka. The reasons for Nami and Bella taking so much screen time as you say are obvious - Nika lives with Nami and is forced to work with Bella. We're offered the chance to stay in our comfort zone or one chance to step out. Nika didn't move in any of these social circles before college, so it makes sense that the ice needs to be broken. One night and tennis match with Zara and she's getting naked, jumping on his shoulders - Ocean's condensing the time and everyone's acting purely on hormones and good first impressions.
The challenge for Ocean from here will be how to keep each update as significant - does he intend on having this many branches running through the whole game, increasing the number of renders for each chapter from here to 5-8000? I imagine some chapters will be mor story driven, and have less LI content. Regardless he's certainly not shy of making big decisions, and I'm not afraid my preferred girls won't get content, it's always going to be a worry about whether they change cup size in the dev time
Totally understood - I was doing kinda a catch all to the the thoughts of the last couple of posts. I'm fairly confident that if Maja is getting screen time as mentioned in the devlogs, if Ayua is showing her areolas, and wrestling on Monday - we still have all kinds of Sunday activities, such as Ayua's fighty fight, and maybe Monday will finish at the bar opening, and that's a reason for length of the update as well. As far as LI's, well, Ocean used to say Maja was an LI and she got demoted, so getting attached to characters without content is not wise.... but it's too late for me. I'll play whatever paths are available, while hoping for x y and z sidecharacters to get a scene.
So there will be little of Nika being loner emo boy.
I still laugh when he told Nia he's not an emo boy. Dude was in denial. Hell, he's still an emo boy. But the glow up anime version that the girls are interested in while they're cold or dispassionate to themTotally understood - I was doing kinda a catch all to the the thoughts of the last couple of posts.

So likely the script will just be a string of meaningful events, from now, and an attempt to see them as full days will be meaningless as the season goes on - just like Marla barely seems to teach anything and we get to skip her classes every time we play

I grew up in the 90's so given that Ocean said Nika would be listening to AiC as a preference, no, not emo but gen eXistentialist nihilist grunge boy glow up. Subtle difference, but it's there. Emo's are the only sad bois, and grunge/goth/alternative 90's culture had superior traumaI still laugh when he told Nia he's not an emo boy. Dude was in denial. Hell, he's still an emo boy.

You heard ocean, no sex with girls, just pure homoerotic scenes of nika and his gym bros.Totally understood - I was doing kinda a catch all to the the thoughts of the last couple of posts.

I'm a fairly open chill individiual, so as long as that doesn't include this old man cosplaying as a simply ugly college student lol, I'll be ok.You heard ocean, no sex with girls, just pure homoerotic scenes of nika and his gym bros.

Then poor Nika is slowly leaving his....3 legged dog album cover selft titled era lol. Currently in the middle of his Jar of Flies phase, transistioning from the Layne Staley era, to William Duvall Black Gives Way to blue.I grew up in the 90's so given that Ocean said Nika would be listening to AiC as a preference, no, not emo but gen eXistentialist nihilist grunge boy glow up.

I too would love to see Robin officially join the crew and raise the Jolly Roger....and maybe get a 1 foot height increase to keep things close to inspiration lol
