I forget the part where she forces you into it. Where is the manipulation when you are free to say no to the idea?
You mean where she literally gets the idea from her sister to manipulate you into then, then after all the bitching she does beforehand, she proposes this "solution" as some grand invention and makes it rather obvious that you should take this choice? She was manipulative from the very first day, I don't know what story you were following so far.

You can say no but what is your other option? To stay in a relationship with someone that just said by all accounts that she is at the very least thinking about fucking someone else as a way to "fix" your relationship? Is that even a logical train of thought? We are having issues so let's bring in more pieces to the puzzle because we all know that adding more to something only makes it more likely it will go wrong.
Check my previous reply. She gets the idea from two sources. 1st is her client on the divorce case who wonders if she had done the open marriage thing when the idea was first presented if she would be getting a divorce. 2nd is Georgina. Georgina is in an open relationship with F and D and it works for her. She is very happy with her relationship. So, Nicole gets curious since they are forced apart for a few months. She floats the idea. Nicole and the MC have a good enough relationship where they can talk to each other. Nicole makes it clear that she hasn't done anything and is just curious what he thinks.

Possibly, if like Nicole you are dealing with a messy divorce case where the woman says she wonders if she had done the open relationship when she had the chance would she be getting divorced. Then your sister also throws the idea out there that it could be something that helps the relationship, since she is in an open relationship and it is working perfectly for her. Also, she offers the suggestion, she doesn't say do it. She gives you the option to say no and goes along with your decision if you say no. Its not like she plucked the idea out of thin air.
Even then you can't possibly think that as the first solution.
How about first talk to your partner, put the cards on the table about your feelings what you think and so on, listen the other side. After that you can suggest what you think it may work or that you want to try, you can't just jump from a monogamous relationship to a open relationship out of the blue.
Explain your feelings and your worries let the other side know what is on your mind and see his response don't act like that telling it's a good things to be apart from each other some time and one week later suggest a open relationship.
This mc is already slow I would say dumb too but even him can't be that slow to not put 2+2.
For me her train of thoughts and actions that suggestion in not a good warning or even close to it.

Communicating it's fundamental so you can't change a relationship that way out of nowhere without communicating what troubles you.
At least is how I see a functional relationship

Exactly what do you believe an open relationship is?
You are obviously new to the world of porn games.This not the real world.
Let me explain how devs are using open relationship in no NTR games.Not to mention that most NTR games are not NTR at all.
When some of the girls/women starts to talk about open relationship,it leads to harem.

Nicole was going to straight up ask for a break. Georgina is the one that suggests an open relationship. She sees that Nicole loves the MC and offers an alternative where they can stay in a relationship but make the most of their time apart. Georgina does not manipulate Nicole into anything, she offers an alternative to breaking up. Nicole does not manipulate the MC into anything. She just makes a suggestion.

Is this your first MrDots game? He doesn't do NTR or Harem games. He has already confirmed that if you choose the open relationship path that we the player will not see any of that content and since one of Nicole's rules was to not discuss any encounters, we will not have to hear about it either.

So the DEV decides to make Georgina and the MC have an open relationship in DMD? I am so glad I stopped playing that as she was my favorite character and the only reason I even played as long as I did.

Its a shared universe. You have to choose one canon ending. In this story Melody makes it as a successful singer, but there are multiple endings to Melody. What if the ending you chose was with Melody's aunt? D makes it as a successful model, but what if in your game she doesn't? Your choice isn't reflected, because the Dev chose the one he wanted to be the ending when making his games.

Yes and by doing so makes your complete play through invalid if you would than play this after. That is a great way to give a big fuck you to your fans, right?

funny how you guys still "assume" stuff, which is never even written.
After i told you what might happen and what might not happen, you still continued...
Even after Jeff (one of the 3 devs) told you what probably will happen and what not, you still continue....
....
Why do you care about stuff that "MAYBE could happen in your imagination" rather than starting to listen and believe.

*irony on:
I might suggest to stop playing at all, because it might happen that all women suddenly change look like the old women on nude beach in previous game.
Also it is possible that MrDots does a time-warp forwards, and show the MC as an impotent 80 year old senile man.
Or maybe all women with no sexual interaction to MC right now (except Vicky) feel attracted to Lukas for some reason
... there are so many "theoretical possible" things that might happen...
... but when a dev tells you what really is planned, you can't believe .... ;) :unsure:
*irony off
Although in most of his annoying posts Hyperserver sounds like a condescending asshat (English is obviously not his native language so he probably can't really understand why) he is right.

This game is pretty mediocre and boring and really does not deserve copious amounts of text walls about one missed choice developer should have included to give players the illusion of having a significant choice.

Just fast forward to the point in-game that you might find interesting enough or if you find the whole game too lame, move on to other games. God knows there are tons of games here for everyone's taste.

Yes, because if she didn't want that see would be using her dildo only. So her only choice would be share him with D or not have him. So she isn't a good example.

In the game Timestamps, MC's girlfriend wants to have an open relationship too, but in the next sentence, she says she doesn't need any other man because MC is already sufficient for her. In short, it's the writer opening the possibility for the protagonist to have sex with other girls because he is already in a relationship with that girl and I think this applies in this game too.
I have seen this in many games, and they all have the girl saying immediately that she only wants him.
We did not get that next sentence from Nicole.
With how Nicole has been acting towards the MC, and that there was already discussions on how people would react if Nicole got involved with someone else (back in June, I think), it is not surprising that people reacted the way they did.
I am wondering how long it will be before we know exactly what Nicole wants (in game, and not just comments from a dev)

It is true that this is a trope of this genre of game. However, the circumstances of this discussion are different from what is typical in a game like that and circumstances are a crucial part of the trope. An open relationship leading to a harem usually comes after the MC is already involved with several women or in some cases is about to become involved (like in WVM or My New Family), but the relationship with the "first" gf is still otherwise good. Generally all of the women in question and the MC are in close proximity to each other too. I don't think this situation matches the trope due to the rocky relationship and the lack of physical proximity. Honestly, what motivation does Nicole have to offer MC the opportunity to form a Harem at this point? For it to work as a storytelling device, the reader must be willing to suspend disbelief...
