i just wish we could dump nicole, just think their are in a doom relationship, and the open relations, will not work, i dont think she is a control beeetch...... but she is not a plaseant person for sure, MC is destined to be with the Sis or the Cous, i dont know how people can care enough to defend her like in the lasts threads

I could be very wrong here I will have to start a new game but something tells me she will be there soon enough. Unless like I said i am wrong but go back to the shady corporation and see who is in the office. I think that was her boss from the law firm. like I said I will have to replay it i just do not have time right now but something tells me she will be sent there by her law firm. She may even play a role in helping turn the tide so to speak and saving the sisters hotel by being on the inside of the shady corp trying to take over everything.

The faithful route is going to be pretty boring unless she goes to where the MC is. In the other games the faithful to one LI route at least had constant content with them. Maybe she gets sacked and helps with the hotel too.

Yeah, it does seem like that doesn't it? It feels so weird when it skips back to the girlfriend, it takes a lot of energy out the story. Can't remember the bit but it could have been after you fixed the mother's shower and you had a bit of teasing and all that and then it skipped to the girlfriend just.... working... on a divorce case. Like....why? You might has well have had her cleaning the bathroom for all it apparently brought to the story. I guess it's ramping up the feeling of insecurity but it felt like the scene was rammed in with no consideration to how the overall story was flowing.

Well that there will likely be a line where Nicole somehow gets involved with the hotel case seems pretty likely, will she choose for her career though or for MC (out of old friendship or still existing feelings, they did have a 5 year relation after all even if things went south) will likely be a plotline where breaking up with her might or might not help. Based upon how she was written one would expect her to at least initially do the more logical thing for her and choose for her career even if with some regrets or feelings of guilt even if still in a relation with MC, since doing anything else would have serious repercussions for her. :p

Actually, there were indicators of that after their first time having sex. Which is the primary complaint some have with the cuckquean plotline; no indicators. None. But that's actually fine. I'm sure they wanted to save that up as a M. Night Shayamalan style plot twist and it backfired on them.
Actually it backfired on the player base because now we don't get to see that. Thank you very much for that btw.

Or maybe she will see just how wrong what the corporation is doing and how shitty her firm is to stand behind such a corporation and chose the moral path.

I don't think so. From the description we have of the "stay loyal" choice, which is staying in the game, the game becomes entirely about making the long distance relationship work and saving the hotel. I'm sure that sometime in the future she may come to the hotel if you take that path and I even predicted that she might represent, or help the MC represent, the hotel legally in court against 'the bad guys', but I don't see her getting involved with the hotel directly.

Edit: Well disregard that. I misread your post and we basically just said the same thing. So hell, great minds think alike?

Yeah that might be her growth line, but do not underestimate the amount of indoctrination/grooming going on in firms like that.
The normal in those cultures is slightly different from others normal. The amount of pressure she is put under at work kinda shows it is not a great life/work balance firm and money is likely the only real moral bottom line of the managing partners. Else she also would never be put on a case where she is so personally involved either by the partner in question, since he knows about her relation, former one or not.

There is one VERY good reason that Nicole puts a bit of pressure on the MC when he loses his job. They have a joint mortgage that she can't handle alone. So yeah, she is worried about being homeless. He sits around in his underwear as she goes to work. She figures out a way for him to get a job, but it doesn't start for a couple of months. That is considered controlling to you? The fact she wants to keep a roof over both of their heads. What is his solution? I'm off to help my sister for a couple of months. Oh, and he never tells her that he isn't getting paid after he finds out. And she is the bad one in the relationship.

So I take it with this chapter that the die has been cast, and this game will take a page from the crappy book that is DmD Ch3 and the dumpster fire that will be Ch4 ?

All the drama probably playing in this thread could have easily been avoided by a simple tag... (multiple protagonist)... Cause if the game is from the Male MC point of view, there is no F***ing need to waste time rendering Nicole sex scenes with other men... unless she is video-calling him to show herself getting fucked, there is no reason for we the players to gain "sight beyond sight" and see her lame ass sex scenes...

And this is coming from someone that things that aside from the lame jailbaits (Yuki and Shortcake) Nicole is the least attractive female. I wanted to punt that idiot at the bar that told Georgina that she wasnt his type, and was after Nicole... I literally face-keyboarded while thinking to myself "bitch please"...

Good lord man, even SHE considers herself too controlling. Lighten up, it doesn't make her a bad person. But some people do consider it a bad relationship. That's just how it goes.

I never denied she had a reason to be worried, just the way she reacts and goes immediately into plan rescue mode and does not even give MC a second to get over a horrible day for him or any sympathy for that, well it is not what I would look for in a GF at that moment. It is not only her plan and what she has worked for for years that has been totally been shot. :p MC is human and does have a right to feel bad over that and the right to have some time to deal with his emotions over that, even if that is not really a great moment for it. Now that she would try to push me a bit if I would stay in depressed mode after a week and having done the sympathy thingy for a few days, that would be a different thing.

It was either help sis or sit around the house for 3 months till the legal job became available. He already tried looking for something else. Sis's offer came up only after he had no other options. What was him telling her he was up shit creek going to help with all the stress she is under? He'll get paid, just not yet. He probably only didn't tell her because he sees the venture going well and didn't want to bother her until he was sure he wouldn't get paid.

I don't get it, really, no one on this topic had the slightest idea of a cuckqueen route, isn't that the perfect state of mind to create a plot twist?
That was pretty much the situation. And it went like this.

Crowd: Raaaah! Raaaah! Whine! NTR!
Devs: Be patient, we have something in mind, you will just have to wait.
Crowd: RAAAAAH! SOB! I HAVE MY OPINION AND KNOW MORE ABOUT THE GAME THAN YOU DO!!
Devs: Fine, canceled.

Incorrect. As stated earlier, the cuckquean route was never a thing. It was proposed by Jeff, but never approved. He then started trolling these boards with it because "REEEEEE".

For the payoff in the end? I mean in Melody you got the Perfect End only when you locked in the monogamous choice and threw the other content away. Why the RAH RAH now?
I don't disagree with that. At all. The complaint is the long-distance relationship for most people. If you choose the monogamous route you are choosing to make your porn game a non-porn game. It just strikes a lot of people as...odd.
