Sorry for the late response. I'm form Spain so yeah I agree we eastern-Europeans are more progressive but still. The scene with Victoria going to the bathroom threw me off lol. I don't know, asking someone I've known less than a week to pull my pants down so I can pee, seemed weird to me. I'm just being extra harsh on this game since it's supposedly focusing on story and characters first so yeah, of course I'm gonna focus on that.

I don't know, the Vic scene is supposed to be strange and uncomfortable, herself draws attention to it saying that how confortable she is, is a sign on how the accident affected her. SG does has a tendency of sexualize some scenes when there is none reason for it, the Nojiko talk at the balcony comes to mind, but I don't think that this Vic scene was gratuitus or cheap eroticism.
If it's true, like that. Harem isn't something i like in game, but i deal with that because it's so common. None of my favourite game are Harem, but some good trouple exist nonetheless (for exemple i like the one in being a DIK with maya and josie; i know it's an unpopular opinion : ). Harem is generaly too sureal for me, it's like the woman are just some meat that the mc are gonna consume, and it's fine when you just wanna fap or have this fantasy but if you wanna read something with a more depth and feeling, it will not do the job for me. Like when you see the MC telling how much he love X, that he can't live without her and 15 minutes after he is banging another chick like the previous one was nothing. It's sometime even disgusting a bit to be honest but this is what it is.
I say that i'm curious to know but that doesn't mean i wanna use the link you are talking about. Going into the game and trying different setting, redoing it with something else in mind is part of the fun imo. It's like your commitment to details are rewarded, i like it. Also i'm not sure it's a bad thing that Ocean give that information. Most people would probably don't read it and only the one who are curious enough or needed it would read it. Yeah sure, some of these wouldn't care enough to fully commit to the game with the surprise probably intended by Ocean, but it's the same with people who use walkthrough.
They will always be people who aren't that much interested to a game to give it much time, and that's alright, especialy if they have fun that way. We aren't immortal after all.

Yeah, I'm the same regarding harems. I think some players prefer to play the game once, and get all the content, but here that's just not possible. The infidelity of an MC in a harem game where they swear undying love to all the girls is just lazy writing. Any of the harems in real life would end up with th MC being a missing person, dumped in the river with his face disfigured by 5 or more sets of nails.
Something i find valuable about SG is that the relationships aren't the reason for the events, even if they might in some ways be triggers - there is a story of what Nika is going through independent of whose path you chose. This also means that Nika has other things on his mind than simply getting his erections back. He doesn't actually miss them like (what seems to be) 90% of people in this thread. He'd rather have a sense of looking forward to waking up the next day rather than be relieved he survived through a day.
About the list - my sense is that OCean's probably changed his mind about some of it since it was posted. But your take is a great one - not knowing who has extra content means you've got to be careful with every interaction in case they are a LI later. Chosing how Nika reacts to people is our only task in the game really, so not knowing who is really important will give us a more interesting playthrough in my opinion. Like the redhead that isn't named or the goth bus/pizzaria girl. I don't want to know if they are or aren't chances are we'll find out.
I also like the idea of a hidden LI, someone who requires a who bunch of choices to unlock. I've been playing some RPG's lately and some characters require an epic amount of perception to simply notice, which makes them more rewarding to play.
I agree 100%. (it's my biggest complain about game like Eternum, the mc is going here and that make no sense )
Yeah they are a story despite what girl(s) you choose. He will probably get into this wood cabin to tell his therapist what was happening no matter what, or at least a bit of it. I really wanna see that now; damn, i'm gonna take a seat into the hype train for the S2 like everyone : )
As it's stated in Bella's route, i think that Nika want these back to please to woman and not only for the other way around.(i think he say that when they are on the top of Bella's car) And it's something natural imo. I mean if you love (not sure we are here yet in the story) someone and aren't narcissist, you will do what you can to please them, not only seek for what please you. And in a way pleasing the person you love please you too, so it's win-win.
I wish we will see more of that in Adult game. Or some secret ending. They are a few games who have whose for sure, but it's really rare. I bet we will see stuff like that in Being a DIK but who know for now : )
Yes I have two save files one on Bella's path and the other when I reject every possible available girl. I'm just really curious how the story will develop in a situation where Nika is constantly waiting for someone to show up who will catch his attention. The game already seems to pay attention to this Sasha seems more positive towards Nika when he's not dating any girl I wonder if Ocean is going to do something interesting with this as I said earlier ''hidden romance options'' when you spend let's say 16 out of 32 announced chapters alone and hidden events which trigger only in such a situation would be amazing and would go hand in hand with how he advertises his game as a mature story with adult elements

I think you're right. Although if you look at SG impartially, you'll see a lot of meaningless dialogue. That's why the game isn't developing and players have been discussing the same thing for years. This can also be called lazy writing.

The DLC is installed in the game folder (regardless of operating system)- you access it manually, rather than in the game, it's simply folders with the renders in them etc.

wow this one is actually really good, on par with a good romance drama/novel, authors have what it takes to make a killer series or a movie.
The only reason this game is lagging behind BAD & Eternum is because of the lack of lewd scenes even after 5 years.I understand u need the story to progress to have lewd moments but how long? A decade? The ratings are going down because of it hope the developer adds some lewds soon coz I dont want the most beautiful renders in this forum go without some action.It is time my man add those scenes and u will be on top 3 along with the legends BAD nd ETERNUM

SG is my top AVN, but I really hope that in the next episode we get some questions answered or at least see some progression with the existing plots. I'm not saying it needs to have any lewd scenes with the LIs in the next episode, but there should be some progress regarding the MC's background. The scene with Nojiko in the bathtub could provide some good development, like Nojiko already knowing Amber and why she hid it from Nika, or answering questions about the past, like her friendship with Emilia, the MC's parents, or her relationship with Kate.
In the next episode, Ocean has the opportunity to introduce tons of WIAB characters in the Dojo scene, so I'm really hyped to see what happens there. I'm 100% sure we'll see Sasha, Ayua's sisters/cousins, or even Miru (though she hasn't been confirmed to be alive yet). Maybe we'll even see some college students like Bella and Nadia attending the Dojo classes. But I'm certain the Dojo part will be fire because Ocean has been keeping it under wraps, not showing any previews for that part in any devlog.
What do you guys think about Nika asking Zara to train him instead of his previous "uncle" coach? Maybe he lost contact, or the coach turned out to be a MF?

What SG is lacking is branching and progression with the general plot. Ocean gave us the best renders, quality characters and a lot of questions, but it's time to answer some of them in the next episode.

That's a really interesting point about the uncle - if it was an actual uncle, you'd assume Noji would have their contact. But the idea that Nika doesn't keep any connection with his uncle through this trauma is strange: surely Noji would be enlisting their help? SO I guess as you say, a mf.
And yes, I'm hyped for the dojo and the bar opening. Screw it, I'm hyped for next chapter, all the bits. My guess is we'll get strung along, enough answers will be hinted, but they'll just give rise to more questions: Answers will be indirect, hinting at new theories. We're less than 20% of the way in renderwise, so Frist act sets the scene, second act explains the problem, third act, heroic problem solving, 4th act, it all goes to shit, relf reflection required, fth act, the true understanding.
That's at least how a lot of RPGs go. Mysteries have to be tantalising and revealing layers until that moment when all is reval, and everything falls apart for the MC. Then still time to rebuild their courage for the end game. Same same but different in this cas I guess.
