I haven't really personally seen such meaningful consequences in games overall, sadly. cept... like dragon age
rigins, mass effect kamidori alchemy meister lol. I would prefer such impactful choices woven in. I can also see some quality drama for it, 
yep, but I was thinking more like the witcher, where there is no real 'hero' choice; even when you chose something you feel to be the moral or even just political correct choice, the ramifications can be endless, setting off a chain of events that works against you. Even in hindsight, knowing the outcomes, I'd still choose what I did, because it was the only decision I could reconcile. That's the sort of drama I'd love to see, Nika not just chosing a LI but Nika chosing to say, come forward about the break in to clear Mila's name, resulting in him being booted from the team for being a criminal, jail time etc. Choices like that are more appealing to me than simply unlocking the lewd scenes once they happen.I haven't really personally seen such meaningful consequences in games overall, sadly. cept... like dragon age

I think that should be only an option. I can see that fucking up plenty, though. So I also doubt Ocean doing this. SO the amount of variance that would need to be accounted for.... I can't see it happening. But it's certainly fun to discuss it as a real possibility. Season 1 Nika seems far too closed lipped for this, but maybe something happens in season 2 that changes his mind. Providing him breaking in with Bella is made cannon vs optional that is. Although Bella will break in regardless and Mila will still be blamed.
That was just the first example that came to mind, but I'm sure there will be some form of moral dilemmas about situations we haven't come across yet. The consequnces of NIka's actions might or might not hit home regardless of his direct choices. People get upset when things don't go the way they expect as a player, but, you pointed out a bunch of great games that all have bad things happen as a result of choices - it makes the game challenging. The question is how much of a game does Ocean want to make it vs the pure story he wants to tell? I personally prefer these kinds of questions than decide what outfit a LI will wear.
I think here we diverge of talking only of SG, I 100% agree with you and if we are talking only about a novel there is nothing that I would add, however this is a interative media and while I don't think that authors should limit themselves on the behalf of the player, I also don't think they should be careless with it, you should give as much control over the story and its character as possible. I am fine with chosen the lesser of two evils, with unfair choices and even with choices that we as player don't have enough information to make - you buy the burguer with the sweet or spyce sauce ?- and I am fine with bad outcomes as well, what I don't like is to be stripped down of a choice - here I am not talking about SG- in ordem to have a determined outcome.
Bambi I think was the movie beginning of using poor dead mothers as a plot device, lol. An amusing reflection often used in the AVN's...for some Landlady action lol. As for Bambi's death, yeah....that fucking still hurts. Doesn't help that it was beautifully animated. I forget this pain, remembering that in one of the James Bond movie both Bambi and Thumper are fine ass hench-women lol
True...but I can't help but think it was there for a cool line. And ending with Nika possibly saying to his possible future strawhat member....
Yeah, there is much seed of conflict sowed through S1, one might even say too many, but one of the engaging qualities of Ocean writing beyond his character work is how he lay the foundations of his story, there is always something of interest happening and keeps you wanting to know how will it all fit, the downside is that the plot threat that you are interested in might have to wait a, few years to unfold. S1 raised many balls, now we have to see how well Ocean can juggling them. About SG/WiaB is not that SG can not go to darker areas, I don't doubt it will, in my mind is more about the approach SG I think is more about facing your demons and move on, while WiaB is about facing your demons and maybe become one yourself.
......or fucking them
Really??? I feel exactly the opposite. In most games the MC's are often portrayed as straight up attractive, successful, powerful or fairly wealthy which is naturally appealing to the LI's. It's boring and played out but it makes sense for the most part.
Good afternoon. Yes, I know something about a date for the next update.
Nika is special. He inherited from his father, if you can call it that, a monstrous body regeneration, due to which his muscles recover after a small load. His second feature is a monstrous sexual attractiveness. In fact, in this regard, he is an analogue of Sasha. Only she attracts men, and he attracts women. That is why they flock to him like bees to honey.
Guys with dirty and unkempt hair attract women? Doubtful argument.....
Oh yes, I think we're mostly on the same page. I'm not for stripping away choices, but we make choices based on what we think we know - ie the chicken burger choice ideal is bot terrible and great in a way. It's a choice where we can't know the outcome. Make it a less flippant choice where the character has to choose between (metaphorically) pepsi or coke, and suddenly the character has forgotten about water. That's the kind of choices that I like, one where the outcomes feel uncertain. But it is a risk, because it can feel meaningless if done as poorly as the chicken burger in WiaB.
The real question is how is Amber von Halen supposed to fall madly in love with this tool?
She'll do what almost every other woman does. "Fix" their man. I know because I've been a "work in progress" for a few women now since the day I was born
