I worked on a college campus as a psychological and trauma counselor I had students I worked with that were in medical school. People who didn’t live with two other people and didn’t spend time devoted to finding a cure for a rare genetic problem. And their biggest problem is lack of time for relationships at all, let alone multiple relationships. The idea that the sister isn’t a virgin for realistic reasons is to me odd. Especially because the two vampires already aren’t virgins. No one would assume that two vampires in the sixties and seventies would be virgins and yet we loved them as characters. Having work at a university, having students tell me their deepest secrets and issues, I can tell you that it would be very common for medical students to be virgins, especially if they have part time jobs (such as working after hours on a rare cure for a unique illness) or roommates (let alone if they shared a bed with those roommates or were siblings).
Why couldn’t half of the harem just *be* virgins? Especially since they were in medical school, devoting to finding a cure for their brother, and living with him, sleeping in the same bed, even watching moves with their boobs hanging out… maybe the MC hadn't seen them as possible sexual partner until the game started but it would have been *very easy* to just say they always saw him that way.
It isn't about her not being a virgin really. It's about the sudden drop of too much information. If the game started and there was a line over breakfast where the MC asked, "Hey you haven't talked about Greg (or whatever guy's name) in a while." And then say says, "Oh we broke up, he said it was weird that I lived with you, and I had missed a few dates because of working on your cure so he gave me an ultimatum either you or him, it was easy to kick him to the curb." And then later when it comes up in the conversation with the vampire girls she says, "Oh I had a boyfriend, but it didn't work out."
An exchange like that keeps it ambiguous too, did they have sex? Maybe, maybe not, now players can decide, and you get your, "Realism," in a fantasy vampire game. Which already breaks from vampire lore in order to have the two vampire sisters be loyal when in most vampire lore they wouldn't be. These aren't real people, they don't need to have "had a life," they are fabrications, you could have just fabricated a virgin... you *literally* fabricated virgins in Follow the Leader for the MC.
I just started this game last night after playing Follow the Leader. I'll keep playing too, because this isn't enough for me to drop the game and I can hope you change your mind and just remove that line that adds nothing to the story and only takes away from her character. You already apparently removed a whole shower scene because you felt it didn't fit, this line doesn't fit, and it is even easier to remove or change. Just have her say, "Oh no, I'm a virgin, never really had time for a serious relationship with medical school and looking for a cure and living with my brother and sister... and of course I'm not going to hook up with random guys, I know too much about health to risk getting some VD from some bar jumper." That would be something realistic for a medical student to say... just FYI, again coming from a guy who work with college students for about 20 years.
Again, I'll keep playing, but it *is* annoying. I'm not here for "realism" in a vampire game, especially when it isn't even realistic, because there is *nothing* unrealistic about a girl in her early twenties being a virgin. Especially given her living conditions and the events in her life.
Sorry for the rant, it's just keep coming up, seems like every game now is either dropping in random shit content or TMI or making every love interest bisexual at the drop of a hat... It's hard to find games that just stick to being a harem. Harem should be the easiest thing in the world to make. One guy, more than two girls, they are loyal to him and don't do stuff together without his approval, and they don't talk about other guys they fucked in the past. Super easy. But again, I digress, sorry for the rant.
