VN Ren'Py The Adventurous Couple [TACOS S2 P4a] [Mircom3D]

[Dessolos]

You're right of course. We had a good erotic story that went the path of the usual stereotypical tropes found in porn as most VNs do. As much as that disappoints me, I know there are some here who still desire to see TACOS redeem the mistakes of TAC. Mircom can make that happen. Its unlikely but you never know as Mircom does pop in on occasion to have a look at what's being said. So I think speculation is not only fun, it may persuade the dev to make some changes going forward as slim a possibility as that is. I have seen it happen before several times so never say never. I know I am a delusional optimist as well as a grumpy old Aussie

Out of curiosity when do you think it went downhill because I'm playing my first playthrough slowly I been enjoying every minute of it so I honestly haven't put to much thought in the story or whatever. Only thing so far that has bugged me more than anything else I noticed is certain dialogue that pops up assumes the MC's has done something when in fact I didn't. That or some of that dialogue is there on purpose and is trying to show how the MC and Anne has a lack of communication and just full of assumptions not sure which.

Currently on either chapter 10 or 11

What always interested me is playing her story without all that filler that had no other meaning than to please a group of patrons. I also share the hope that this time it will happen and I am also intrigued by what Kelsie will look like.
To answer the previous comment, the decline began in chapter 10 but it was not until chapter 12 that it became evident. I argued with him on several occasions but he didn't listen. He only reacted when everything went to hell in chapter 15. I hope it helps you.

I'd have to agree with Leongen43's answer. Different people have different opinions on when it started. It depends on one's perceptions I suppose. Most agree things were off the rails by ch14.

 

[Leongen43]

It's true, chapter 14 was a disaster, we didn't know what story it was telling and the idea of involving incest was the last thing I could endure before stopping being a sponsor. My idea is to come back if I'm sure he understood this time.

We are getting a Kelsie ending like we asked for soooo you never know, only Mircom does.

oh damn haven't gotten that far yet but damn hope it's optional like with the phone with Anne between her step bro or that other guy forget his name. While incest isn't a turn off for me in these games since I have an open mind I don't go looking for it either and from what I played incest feels like it would be out of place in this game. expect for maybe Anne's step bro not sure didn't play that path yet

 

[Leongen43]

Can you imagine Kelsie with a super model appearance like those from Victoria Secret, in the first meeting with the MC she made her intentions with him clear and did it in front of Anne, I'm sure that Anne will feel so sure of her relationship after that

 

[Dessolos]

The more I see you guys talking about Kelsie the more I think I made the right decision and restarting to make a second save where I let the MC cheat / sleep with other women Anne doesn't know about. Not gonna lie Kelsie was a part of the reason for that but mostly I just changed my mind and didn't want to miss out on any content while I let Anne play the cheating path. Plus this way Ill have a save to see the difference between cheatings Anne and normal Anne. Though I suspect not gonna be much of a difference other than scenes with Martin and Ryan which ive seen the Ryan part already.

My advice to you who is never deprive yourself of any content, try to take all possible routes to be able to fully enjoy each title you play, especially this game, which, even with its flaws, I consider it the best game of this genre

yeah I rarely do it depends on the game some games I got for max content first run or the second run. The whole being married thing in this game made me want to go for the faithful run / low content first initially since it didn't feel like a game id have trouble deciding a LI lol.

That is my preferred path as well. There aren't many VNs that have a good faithful path. Usually its short and lacklustre. There are a few exceptions of course. Like you I restarted and did the same thing. I really like Kelsey for the MC over a cheating wife, she respects him and has obvious feelings for him, an important combo even in a make believe world .

 

[Leongen43]

What you would give to have a scene with Kelsie where they can have a date where there is dinner, dancing and they end up romantically making love with her, as a bonus that she send the photos to Anne so she can see the difference with those shit story he told us before going to sleep

I agree especially if picking the cheating route for Anne, id think id like to pick a bad ending for Anne / one you end up with someone else when going that route. Hard to forgive her cheating on you with Martin especially after the MC makes it clear he is off limits.

But her normal route I can deal with the few times cheating is forced since those ones weren't repeats and felt like she just neglected to mention them and I can understand a slip up with that lifestyle. Also from my quick speed run it seemed like most of the instances she is able to cheat you were actually able to make her not cheat if you didn't want her to. I could be wrong and missed something.

Kind of funny while typing this I realized how much I like Anne as a character even on her cheating route I don't think I can hate her but still couldn't forgive her. Yet almost any other LI I would probably hate them. Which I find surprising personally because she isn't the best LI out there by any means, yet I find she is just a straight up fun and enjoyable character. Which is enough for me to maybe give her a highish spot on my personal LI list like top 30.

You want the character to be likeable. At the start I liked Anne the character a lot, by ch15 I didn't like her at all, and still don't. Hence why I want my MC to end up with another character I do like, the sweet Kelsey. I admit I have an issue with wives cheating with family members.

You may be right don't want my opinion to change we will see when I finally finish the last few chapters and the game isn't fresh on my mind. But also I think a big part of it is I treat Cheating path Anne and regular Anne like 2 different characters.( I do this in another games when it's applicable) Not sure if you do or don't. So easier for me currently to like 1 version of her alot if that makes any sense.

ps - sorry if our back and forth starting to get annoying since it's about the same subject just you seem really chill to talk to and always nice to see another perspective.

All good you're not annoying at all. I enjoy other perspectives. I envy you, I'm not good at seeing different versions of characters. Its something I am trying to expand upon especially in the realm of VNs where their are different versions of major characters. I like about VNs that they are a different form of media in that regard. They are not single perspective focused like RPGs or novels, etc. You can have different versions of characters along different paths. I've struggled to grasp that.

 

[Leongen43]

I started to notice it in chapter 10, but in chapter 13 the meaning of what I was playing had already been lost and chapter 14 was a downhill disaster in history. It was no longer important, it was only important to see Anne have sex with everything she met. will cross
The character I like is Nicole, but I recognize that it's going to be quite difficult to have an ending with her due to her closeness to Anne, so I guess I'm going to have to steal Kelsie from Grumpy.

They be fighting words!!!!!!! I'll sick my clan of Australian drop bears on to you

 

[Leongen43]

Come on Australian we are friends I wouldn't share Kelsie with me I assure you I would be gentle with her most of the time or maybe not, I have my days when I am a little wild

I'll keep Kelsey for myself and share all the other office girls with you. That's a fair trade
