Obviously, yeah? When I'm talking about what they would want I mean exactly that, the characters the way they are written. They may be freaky and horny and chill about a lot of stuff, but their romance plots are for the most part vanilla and conventional. It's not a suspension of disbelief problem -- not that an unconventional relationship would even require that as it's not something inherently fantastical, it would just have to be written convincingly -- most girls are just not written in a way that makes it seem they would be fine with harem.

I disagree on that, i actually think most of Mc's relationships aren't conventional, most started as casual or in weird circunstances, maybe the only exceptions were Amber, Alice, maybe Jess and i guess Claudia.

Emily had problems in a previous relationship and is still uncertain about something more serious. Liz used to think she was unable to even have a real relationship. Tifanny barely reached the point of admiting being friends with Mc and never gave a definitive answer about something deeper. And i can't even begin to describe the chaotic situationship with Ella.

Amber spent years seing Mc as just a friend, so from being attracted to him to knowing he was involved with other girls (specially her sister) she had basically no time. I would say they started casual, with Amber trying not to fall for him, failing, and by that point just accepting he was a huge slut, something that even helped her in a way (with her and Liz being with the same guy).

Alice was too afraid to give herself a chance given her personnal history, mainly since her parents relationship imploded. More than exclusivity she wants someone who will never abandon her. Then it was show she has a degree of interest in sharing. Despite being very loving she is also detached, from the vey start she told Mc she would never behave like a "regular girlfriend".

Jess was dating the major prick Jared and tired of being cheated on. It's argueable if being with Mc was even cheating in her case, but she was willing to share (with Tess) at least in terms of physical relationship. From her i think the problem would be hiding things, not necessarily being with others.

Claudia is a sweetheart, but she is still in the awkward flirting phase, she seems upset at the idea of taking someone else's boyfriend and of a good guy dating a mean girl (from the interaction with Elijah and Nia). I don't know how against she would be to being part of a harem, but i'm sure she would be willing to sacrifice her own happiness for Tifanny. Now, if her sister said "that's ok, you can date him too" i can't imagine lots of objections, or at least any that would last long.

All the others are, by definition, casual as fuck. Christie, Nico, Alexis, Demi, Angelina, even Brianna, none ever gave a hint of demanding exclusivity, so i don't see how most, or even some would be against the idea of harem to the degree of this being a breaking point.

Question regarding Laurie, does she show up later in the story again if you save her? Or does she just stay irrelevant like Danica, cause I'm at the twin snatcher segment and she's just nonexistent.

Danica does not stay completely irrelevant, she made an appearance in the latest update, and it hints that she will continue to play a significant role in the future.

Laurie on the other hand, not so much, yet anyway.

No, she hasn't appeared again yet. She probably will show up in the future briefly but she's largely irrelevant to story after the Battle of Diamonds. WW himself even wondered if he should've made her stay dead originally instead of allowing her to be saved. Which pretty much tells everyone that she won't have much of anything going forward. So save her, if you want. But it's probably not going to lead to much but a small reunion or mention.

As for Danica. While irrelevant as well. She's more important than Laurie.

Nope, you do get her dream sequence regardless tho. And you also get to have a small wet dream about her during HERO courses, given that if you kill her she becomes part of you.
i wonder if we will get her power in the future if we kill and eat her, plus at evo 5 mc might get super op so he might get a thing where he can steal powers.

It is highly likely that consuming her will at some point either give a massive boost to the Mc's powers, or will be one of the decisions that will count towards one possible ending to the story.

This is due to the Eye's words. When the Mc evolves to level 2, if he answers with "Power", he will be told that consuming "The Crossed Assasin" is key to that goal. Which can only refer to Danica, so yeah.

Personaly I always kill her, even tho she is one of my fav secondary characters, and that's because I always think it's only logical the Mc kills her :ROFLMAO:, given all the wounds and pain she inflicted on him prior. And also because I want the Mc to end up as strong as possible.

Can i save laurie in the battle of diamonds if i have 89 power ?
No, the variable that matters to you is defeating Daryl. Although I don't think you can do it with that amount of power.
Don't worry brother, WW did not say anything about not gender-bending Jared, yet.
It is not necessary; the MC can use what he learned in prison.
Yeah, because Cole will ask to have his gender changed as he realises he is truly inferior to the MC in every way and wishes to become his submissive slave.

I think Cole is screwed after what Tanos did to him.:KEK:

I get this is a porn game and all, but Emi and Christie are really not written in way that makes this seem at all possible. Emi's entire arc is about growing a spine, and she even asks MC at some point if he's into Ella, and if he says yes, her response is that she wants to pursue MC nonetheless. Sure, you can read this as 'alongside Ella' but to me it comes off distinctly competitive in the context.
Christie admits to being a 'boyfriend virgin' and very clearly indicates that she views real relationships differently from what she's doing with MC.

And pretty much the same goes for every major romance option except for maybe Liz.



This very much feels like a medium limitation rather than a narrative choice. We have several scenes with girls and MC explicitly acknowledging him fucking around and how they may not be okay with this. It's more that all formal relationship stuff is on hold because of the literal ongoing apocalypse. And like I said, I agree that it's likely that harem is the end game, but only because we won't get to explore the relationships beyond that.
They aren't written that way until they are as seen with Alice, all it takes to change that is an extra bit about how she gets off on seeing other girls fucked. Whether they are ok with it or not, is a matter of more content. But I'll address this properly on how the story limiting romance.

As for Christie I couldn't agree less, are we are reading the same story, Christie is heavily devoted to Ella and I just can't imagine her being in a relationship with the MC without her, you mentioning the boyfriend part is an inconsequential aspect of the character next to that, I think you are attaching too much importance to things as if they would be these insurmountable road blocks even Emily's acceptance of it could be as simple as not wanting to take charge. These 3 have already had a group sex scene with the MC early, typically that last road block to any harem in a sex game.

Unfortunately limitation does set the narrative here, as it does even in high budget games like BG3, choice comes with a cost. The stories have to be written to account for 3-5 possible states, friend, lover, enemy and even dead. They are on hold in story because of the apocalypse but that's the in game reason, its not going to be properly addressed until the end, sure they highlight, but you know yourself how that works, a line or 2, when variables are hit, and then its back to the story.

Fiction is full of logic being bent for outcomes to happen, the hero getting the power up at the right moment, being in the right place, etc. For me I'm use to harem games that involve weak willed guys with no job, the MC in this is a powerful confident superbeing, that'll probably end up as one of the most powerful things in the setting, big fucking gap against the competition so its not hard to see how they could end up with a harem.

I don't think the evilest ending will be pleasant as I think the MC has already stated what will happen even though he was joking.
