Still very early you won’t be forced into being in a relationship with her or anything but if you check the tasks, one of the tasks is to get Ashley and sis to be good with each other again so talking to Ashley is still required as of now

- Start date
I agree with your sentiment about Ashley although that scene didn't bother me as much. I see it partially as the MC is a nice guy and partially that he needs answers from Ashley so no point burning the bridge at that point.
What bothered me more was when Ashley sort of brushed off the question about why she cut contact between MC and sis and the MC just seemed to accept it.
I don't think the flashback about Gerald showed him to be decent. We found out that he had an affair while had a (I think) 2 year old son and wife back home. We found out that the cheating resulted in a child. I don't really get the impression that Gerald would have invited Ashley to live with him if it didn't include his daughter.
It bugged me a little bit too when the MC was having trouble believing his dad could cheat on Ashley when there is at least one point where the MC acknowledges that his dad cheated on his mom with Ashley.

Honestly kinda waiting a bit on this game. working on finishing up Melody right now and actually still have to get caught up on DMD as well. The biggest issue i have with Mr Dots games are the sheer volume of the normal updates. Seriously the guy is like the Stephen King of VN's think, i love the content for the most but feels like he could trim some the fluff and still make an excellent story.

You won't have to worry too much on that, especially with this last update.
What clown in the graphics department put all the nipple covers on the peeper views? Fire him or add a censored tag.

I have now worked my way through all the posts since the update hit and this will sound a bit Peter Cetera-ish. (Those who know their 80s music will know which bridge of one of his songs I am referring to.) While I was reading I could figuratively hear my brain cells begging me to stop, to make it go away, to make it end. I could count them dying one by one and today I feel measurably dumber than I was yesterday.
Most of it has been addressed before, but still we ended up with a whining bunch of entitled posters (the one who claimed that he knows the game better than the actual dev team definitely took the cake - it felt like all those people claiming to be cutting edge virologists just because they watched two videos on some covidiot's Youtube channel) and a p.o. dev team. By the way, thanks to Jeff Steel and Hyperserver for sifting through the trash; that can't have been easy.
That said, a few points that came to mind while playing the update:
-> Thanks for the confirmed faithful path. The moment I played the first update I knew I was going to make the relationship work. I may lock out the sexual encounters with others on that playthrough, but I also did that with Melody and you only got the Perfect End on that path. I am expecting (and know that the MrDots team is capable of delivering) a really good payoff there. Of course it will take a while.
-> Related: I get where Nicole is coming from. For her motivations I refer you to Ava's posts, who so tirelessly and admirably explains it in a straight to the point no-nonsense way. For this point I share her opinion 100%.
-> To the people who claim 11 - easily distinguishable - women are too many I strongly urge you to never tackle games like Sisterly Lust, Luke's Way (with that one even I have trouble remembering everybody) or, God forbid, WVM. You'd be overwhelmed for sure.
Now to the game itself:
- I was wondering about the sex scene (had to tap out to Google translate Vicky at one point because I don't speak Spanish) being the way it is, but that has since been explained, no biggie. May have been a tad bit fast after the open relationship declaration (that will soon be a break up *grumble*
), but hey, THEY WERE ON A BREAK!
- At one point Lisa (you know her as Kristina) was talking to herself during the inspection of the hotel's event room (which seems a bit small, but that might be the chosen perspective). I guess the sentence should have gone to the MC.
- I fully expected Carissa (you know her as Shortcake or Cousin) to join the team this update. We need her by Saturday for the reception and it's Tuesday already. I guess that event will bring us the first *.
- Related: I would have preferred to actually see Sofia and (presumably) Xianne this update.
- Reference: Carissa said that a good friend of hers moved to Seaside and they are in contact sporadically. Could this be a certain lady we know there, who is very much into her father (or her father mostly in her) and close to her age?
- I wonder what might be in that envelope. I read the "additional half sister" speculation, but my money for now would be some shady deal between the mayor of Sunshine Bay and Brodie's dad regarding the destruction of the lighthouse.
- The peeping toms were a little bit out of order this time, which was slightly confusing when backtracking to find them.
- I took the Ashley route last time at the lingerie store and was promised that she would do "something special" for me this update. I may be impatient, but was this meant to be the kiss and is that all? (To be honest I thought she would be the "first to fall" instead of Victoria.)
- Edit to add a continuity error: On Ashley's path you drag your shopped goods to her to pick up the scooter and end up pushing it to the hotel. The shopping bag is nowhere to be seen in those frames, but reappears once you reach the hotel.
Guess that was the most important stuff. See ya in 11 weeks; looking forward to the rest of Vicky's scene. (Not so much to the breakup.)

Kinda weird with all the peeking that we don't peek on Vicky during the date and then have unseen sex after...

I was wondering about that myself, the ones I'm missing must all the during Yuki's path. The sex is not unseen, you will get the (for now abbreviated scene) while preparing for sleep back in the hotel.
Then what's the point? Waste of time, effort and code.
Seems pretty worthless since the image in the peeper gallery has them as well.

Honestly i don't understand why they implemented the faithful path in the first place.
It locks u out of any other girl path and a major part of the game content, if u wanted to stay faithful simply don't help sis with the hotel, fly back and make a short ending for Nicole.
Or agree to the open relationship, as all decisions about the girls are optional, everyone which wanted to stay faithful simply could decline all other girls and be 100% faithful to Nicole...didn't make much sense to me why they implemented a extra path for that, now with the breakup that changes of course.
If u found it to fast why didn't u simply decline and go home ?I was wondering about the sex scene (had to tap out to Google translate Vicky at one point because I don't speak Spanish) being the way it is, but that has since been explained, no biggie. May have been a tad bit fast after the open relationship declaration (that will soon be a break up *grumble*
I think u get 2 choices to decline the sex, but agreeing to the funtime and afterward complaining it was to fast sounds absurd.
As for the Mc he was under a lot of stress, loss of job, runing the hotel, relationship problems and than the open relationship Nicole wanted, something he clearly was not comfortable with and only agreed because it seems important to Nicole, questioning his whole relationship...so yes party, drinking, stress relief which resulted in non-committal sex, pretty common.
Finally managed to get to the end of the latest update. Way too much dialogue between the characters. I like a story based VN as opposed to bang fests but its just a bit laborious at this stage. Only really interested in Sis, Vicky, the twins and Kristina. I'm presuming I can fuck them all and then a choice will need to be made similar to what happened in Melody.

Did someone else use the term "micromanage?" I don't remember seeing that term used before, so it's a surprise that this is a question you've been asking everyone. I have been with controlling women, so a lot about Nicole's behavior appears similar. Perhaps only someone who has lived through the experience recognizes the (apparently subtle) signs.
You can excuse the individual events as no big deal, but it appears to me that she doesn't respect him. She holds him to blame for the office politics that got him fired. True, she may be worried about the mortgage on their condo, but she doesn't appear to show any compassion for the MC.
I don't remember saying that she wants to fuck anyone that moves. I'm not sure why you're pulling that up in reply to my comment. Perhaps it would be more productive to address an individual's opinion rather than attributing to them other opinions they did not express.
Perhaps Nicole just has critical resting face, but her facial expressions from the beginning raised flags for me.

Not just offensive. Triggering.
In one game I play, there is a possibility of one of the two first love interests asking the MC to participate in a MFM threesome with her "on the way out" ex-boyfriend. People considered that NTR, even though it's the last time the love interest is sexual with the ex-boyfriend."

I'm not going to claim you're ignorant, but you seem to be missing or ignoring a lot of the subtext of those scenes; perhaps in order to bolster your point.
Perhaps you've never experienced the way some people use small, easily excused actions to manipulate their partners. I hope you never have to experience it, first hand.

I expect it was put there in hopes that people would understand that her proposal of an open relationship was not because she is lusting after someone already. So much for some being able to pick up on that.

That was my major disappointment with Melody.
