don’t get it either, we all know jenny, debbie and diane are designed as mc’s family. can’t you just pretend mc is calling debbie his landlady (even in private) because he is worried he’s getting spied on by the mafia or whatever and he doesn’t want to give them more blackmail material or he is worried they might kill his family if they find out they are related?
i think this is something a modder could do in 5 minutes. just an additional text during the intro while they are at the graveyard talking about how the police asked them to keep their family relation a secret so he know refers to debbie as his landlady and he got used to it quickly.
maybe i just don’t get how it’s such a huge immersion breaker for people because i’ve played the pre incest removal versions when they came out out and dc having to change some words around that are obviously work-in-progress placeholders right now doesn’t kill my boner. yes it says landlady but my brain reads it as “mom” anyway and i’m not even into the whole incest theme.
You're totally right and I agree with almost everything. However, a modder may be able to mod this in five minutes, but it will not work with community translations. As it is now, people keep installing the incest patch and wondering why it does not work in their chosen language. The only way to solve this would be an official patch.
I am not into incest either, but the way the story is written now is really not good imo. Jenny riding on dad's shoulders on that photo MC finds, and then her becomming totally emotional about it, is not explained with Dad being her landlady's life-long friend. And the whole Erik/Mrs. Johnson arc. Maybe she really cares about her "boy" when Iwanka shows up at the party. But the breast feeding thing -- no. And why should Erik's dad break into his son's landlady's house to do -- what?
On the other hand, there are those implications between the lines, e.g. Clydetus being Roxxy's secret dad. Or the few lines Rhonda mentions (about lips and legs movement an what her dad always says).
