The reason I stated that it would help to know Annie's perspective is to think of this game if it had been done totally in her head. The MC would come off like a more unlike able character. We wouldn't know his inner monologue about how he feels about Annie's actions and the only time we get insight into him is IF he blows up at Ryan. Then you would probably wonder, like Annie did, why is he getting upset when he was the one pushing it. I agree about Martin. That is the storyline that I like the least. If you choose to go down the Martin path the MC states to Annie that he is worried because his father has banged and stolen more than 1 girl. First of all no guy would even speak to his father again but I get it its not real life. But then if Annie admits she has been sleeping with Martin he actually wants to hear more and encourages her. I'm sorry but that's Last Jedi stupid writing and that's saying something. Anyway everyone is entitled to an opinion and I will never tell anybody they are wrong. I just enjoy the game and hope the new update comes out soon.

Actions speak louder than words.

This is a story about a couple told through the MC's point of view. We do not need to see Anne's POV to develop or change our opinion of her behavior. It is not necessary to hear Anne's thoughts to know that she enjoys doing what she is doing.
Hearing Anne's inner dialogue, as you pointed out, will not please the majority of people who think Anne is off the rails. Hearing that she is enjoying her sexual encounters, or worse — that she is becoming romantically involved with certain characters — works to further push her into the unlikeable character.

The two examples you gave are excellent examples of why she is no longer likable. A wife feeling remorse would not perform for Ryan after her husband, who she is supposed to be tremendously in love with (according to the story), confronts them and throws Ryan out! And a wife that loves her husband and regrets not telling him about his dad secretly hiring her is not going to then go and screw that father's brains out.


Using the Spicy mod does not change her behavior, or excuse it. You do get to see what her opinion might be on certain "adventures." For example, the white guy at the beach and not being happy with his performance. That doesn't change her behavior.

I think if we are looking for a quick fix button, it would be adding the option to not participate (Anne and therefore the MC) in each sexual event (WITHOUT Anne getting angry). One event the game DOES do a good job of this is with Dre. You can choose to include that storyline or completely omit it.
I hate to break it to you buddy, but every single storyline you are complaining about is just as avoidable as the Dre storyline. All you need to do is make the right choices early in the game. Don't invite Ryan to stay, and if you do, don't send him back alone to seduce her while you drink beer. If you find your dad peeping on your wife, crush his nuts instead of sending him into the shower. At the beach, if he touches her ass have her tell him to go fuck himself. Then she never slips into unfaithful status, which is the prerequisite for all of your complaints. You actually have to work pretty hard to get the scenes you are carping about, chipping away at her self-esteem and refusing to fuck her while you keep pushing her to go farther faster and harder with other men. You can't complain about her fucking your buddy or your dad when you fed them your wife for your own pleasure. If you don't like the version of Anne that lives in your playthrough it is your fucking fault.

I've played through all the options. In my main playthrough, the couple has a good relationship, Ryan was denied, the father was shutdown, Dre was not chosen. Despite all the stats being correct, Anne will cheat. Regardless, the player is never given the option to opt-out of a sexual encounter without ending the game. When you think about it if you were to opt-out of the sex scenes, what would be left? The obvious answer is nothing. No character development. No relationship between the couple. No story. It is literally one sex scene after another. And THAT is fine — for a porn game.

BTW, an example is a characteristic that illustrates a general rule. As in the man was simply using those scenes as an example. There are more scenes that illustrate why the character has become so unlikeable. Listing every scene would be tedious and belabor the point unnecessarily.

What Mircom needs to do in order to stop all this crying about Anne is to make it so that she never fucks ANYONE WHATSOEVER throughout the whole game and change the name from TAC to THE NUN.
Maybe then these guys will be happy?
Somehow I doubt it.
Now that's funny

I'm curious - is there a route in this game where you are doing it all behind your husband's back? Or does he have to always know that he's being cucked/enjoy it?
Nope there is no way. She might not tell about everything in cheat path like regarding MC Dad, or walker but mostly she tells about.

Example, I don't recall where but there is a scene ( even in cheat path) where see tells names of the most guys that fucked her in the ass.

Bummer, I think cheating is way more fun in than consensual cuckold :D

(in fiction ofc)

This is more of a swinging game. They both have the opportunity to have fun. She sits on random dick most of the time and he can build a harem in his office. There is a cuck path, though. The cheating path is mostly after the sharing path starts and she gets bitter if he loses interest in her sex stories and stops fucking her. Then she just starts lying and sneaking around.

Sure there is! Make the choice of not listening to her stories and let her go wild on anything. Ryan and MC's father are flags that allow her to cheat without any consequences. From that point on she will do whatever she wants.

Are you being sarcastic? :unsure:
Not at all. I think, with all the recent chatter about how terrible it is that Anne's character is cheating on the MC, that it's nice to be reminded that there are people out there that like it as well. I don't care either way, whether he knows or not, or whether he approves or not. Or what he "deserves". I just like seeing Anne get down with folks. And the idea of her cheating or being corrupted is just extra flavor to me.
I thought your question came at an opportune time.

I've always said this is an Anne-POV game mistakenly (grossly so) forced into a male protag template. This would be so much better if we were in Anne's head, 24/7.

Despite all the stats being correct, Anne will cheat. When you think about it if you were to opt-out of the sex scenes, what would be left? The obvious answer is nothing. No character development. No relationship between the couple. No story. It is literally one sex scene after another. And THAT is fine — for a porn game.
Which is exactly why it's a terrible story. Once the dev locked his keyboard into the idea that Anne (and the husband) were unrepentant sluts, there's no turning back.

I would've been fine with a zillion game overs, given this scenario. "I'm going to fuck X." "I don't want you to." "Then I'm leaving you." In any scenario whatsoever. But instead, we're given this zombie slog in which there's only one path forward, and that's endless infidelity and the husband being either hostile to it or turned on by it. That's not an actual story. This game hasn't had even a whiff of a story since Ryan last visited.

I didn't say I'd rather the game was that. I'm saying that the game we're getting is an Anne-POV game.
I do think that the game would be better overall if it was more like the spicy mod and we knew what both characters were thinking and feeling. The game is called "The Adventurous Couple" not "The Depraved Husband."

The way I see it (haven't played it in a while, so my info could be outdated), this game would benefit from a rewrite. Some decisions don't go well with others. I remember that the original premise was a sharing/hotwife scenario. But then it quickly evolved into the male also getting his own action, meaning cheating on Anne. The way I see it the game should have two or three clear routes. One is a hotwife path, another is the Anne cheating path and one open relationship path.

The husband cheating on Anne is optional. Even participating in swinging or threesomes is avoidable. In my opinion, it makes the game more fun to let the husband get his cookies but to each their own. Anne actually starts to get a little squirrely if you never participate and only live vicariously through her, but the game can go on unimpeded. It seems like she really wants to be with a husband who can pull ass on his own.
