glad I wasn't wrong in remembering this I was just to lazy to look it up so thanks for that.This is from a conversation between Tony and Kenny when they went over for dinner early in the game. He does want to know what she does.

I did encounter an ending in TAC where Tony and Anne end it half way through the game. It goes to a cut scene a few years later and there is Anne with her new man, Martin of course. I can't remember how I even got the scene as it was one of my first playthroughs. I never gave it a second thought at the time.One "bad"-ending should be of course the divorce of Anne while all the open- / sharing - / swinging-relationships didn't go the way as planned and it came as it had to...
Martin married Anne, everybody got invited and just as they went out of the church and were thrown over with rice, it was Tony's mom who crossed their way.
In one move she grabbed a gun out of her bag and aimed towards Martin...
The End!
You can get 3 different out comes for that one depending on if she cheating etc I had one for it was Martin, Dre and a rando I got bored and tried them all out lol. To get it you need Anne to be upset to find you in bed with Nichole ( low relationship score) she kicks you out of the house for the night and when we return and have a talk you can dump her.I did encounter an ending in TAC where Tony and Anne end it half way through the game.

Well yeah obviously if you play it that way, you can avoid a lot of the cheating. Personally, I think it should be possible to avoid all the cheating if you choose, and hopefully that option will be available in the reboot. Like most people I tend to play most of the content in the game though, so I was talking to the people who play the cheating scenes ( whether they like them or not), rather than those who seek to avoid them.What I find funny about people talking about how Anne cheats alot is almost all of the instances are avoidable. While yes cheating is cheating but it isnt really that much compared to the MC if you pick the right choices for Anne. Only ones that I can recall that are forced is the doctor, Also the guy in the beach hut on their second vacation even tho you watch her she doesn't know you are watching or tell you about it until the relationship reset so counts in my books. Martin if on that path as well . Ryan if on the cheating path since she does it in middle of the night and can pick not to confess. I think Drake during the spa scene but not 100% sure cause you can choose not to as Anne, but she mentions the spa second with Drake which would of been the 2nd time to the MC when asked the first time she did anal. So im not sure if that is bad branching on the dialogue or it happens off screen.
I had no idea he can find out about Martin while cheating with Emma. Might have to redo my cheating save and have both of them cheat since originally was only Anne. I only knew the 1 time you do find out is when you send him in bathroom then the next day I guess the MC tells her he is okay with Martin for some reason. Then if you change your mind she thinks you are joking and does it anyways. But yeah I only knew Anne Confesses about cheating on you with Ryan not Martin so thanks for that bit of a info.
Do you remember which Day it occurs? Only one I can think of is the v11 script. But that one she just storms off and it picks up with the car salesman scene. Maybe script got changed with the walkthrough mod I used? Only one with choices I found is after Ryan and Anne.It's when she finds you in bed with Nicole and she's angry about it, then in the conversation you have and you disagree with Anne, she gets angry and leaves where a list appears with the women you can leave with, clearly you're going to choose Kelsie, right?

Most of it she does but other times she cheats on him. But my post was in response to the other post where he said 'Tony never said that in game.'But Tony naively believes that Anne will tell him everything.
Which is not true
This could have a really mundane explaination. The Dev simply wanted to concentrate his efforts on the other sex scenes in the game, and just decided to leave out this content, and explain it by saying Anne was too tired. And perhaps, it was only when people started complaining about it, and suggesting there were ulterior motives behind the abscence, that he felt he needed to start adding sex scenes involving just the two main characters. Whether this is actually the case, I've no idea. But it's a possibility.For example, there's a long stretch where Anne and Tony have almost no sex (with each other, I mean). Why? We could guess it's because Anne's having so much sex with other people and she's sore/tired, but we don't know and Tony never makes the transition from being very mildly upset to actually having a conversation about it.
It seems unjustified, I mean why shouldn't Tony have a free pass as well? But from Anne's perspective, it may not seem so. When the game starts, Tony states that he wants to watch his wife with other men. And satisfying this fantasy is what he'd like to achieve. By degrees, he convinces Anne that she'd enjoy doing this herself. Which she ultimately does, and she also gets pleasure from being watched doing this by her husband. But nowhere does Tony broach the subject about him having fun with other women. Their arrangement doesn't include this at all. And even if it might seem to the player, to be the only fair outcome. It's never discussed by Anne and Tony, early on in the game, when the parameters of their new adventurous lifestyle are determined.The hostility regarding Tony and other women arrives without justification. I don't mean that she's not justified in not necessarily giving Tony the unlimited free pass he's given her (though if she only knew how often he'd cheated on her she'd be quite justified), but rather that the player is given no explanation for it...or, in the case of Kelsey, only the most threadbare of explanations. She wasn't just fine, she was enthusiastic, about Nicole early in the game, and still is later on as long as you have a decent number of relationship points...but since she's also carrying on a sexual relationship with Nicole, whence the hostility? What's the reason for it? Yes, low relationship points...but that's not a story or a reason, that's a game mechanic. They can end their marriage (and the game) over someone she's also fucking; someone she once actively encouraged Tony to fuck. Why? We don't know.
Ok, same scene that I am thinking of. However it does not lead to calling Kelsey or anyone else, just flows to car salesman. If not the case I need to look for the original non-walkthrough script.It's in script 11-2 it happens on a saturday while anne was on a flight trip and returns saturday morning. your love points have to be lower than 5 and you need to sleep with nicole on friday in mc's bed.
That's a really well written in depth post and I cant really say I disagree with any points. I will say tho I always felt like this game should of been a dual-protagonist game as it would play and feel so much better. Like you said getting more into depth into Anne's thoughtsOne thing TAC completely fails to do after a certain point is explain why Anne is acting the way she is. Her early reluctance is well-described (by her), but once she's fully committed to extramarital adventures she goes through emotional stages that are opaque to the player. (Also largely opaque to Tony, but he's an oblivious idiot so that's not really much of a surprise.)
For example, there's a long stretch where Anne and Tony have almost no sex (with each other, I mean). Why? We could guess it's because Anne's having so much sex with other people and she's sore/tired, but we don't know and Tony never makes the transition from being very mildly upset to actually having a conversation about it. Then, suddenly, everything's fine again. Why? Well, if she's cheating, she has to cover up the double life, but her 180 happens whether or not she's cheating.
The hostility regarding Tony and other women arrives without justification. I don't mean that she's not justified in not necessarily giving Tony the unlimited free pass he's given her (though if she only knew how often he'd cheated on her she'd be quite justified), but rather that the player is given no explanation for it...or, in the case of Kelsey, only the most threadbare of explanations. She wasn't just fine, she was enthusiastic, about Nicole early in the game, and still is later on as long as you have a decent number of relationship points...but since she's also carrying on a sexual relationship with Nicole, whence the hostility? What's the reason for it? Yes, low relationship points...but that's not a story or a reason, that's a game mechanic. They can end their marriage (and the game) over someone she's also fucking; someone she once actively encouraged Tony to fuck. Why? We don't know.
Near the end of the game (1-14, I mean), on their second tropical vacation, she seems perpetually pissed off at Tony, and acts on that anger. Why? We have no idea.
To me, this is all part of the fundamental perspective problem in this story: after a certain point (once she finally commits to screwing other dudes), not only is she the actual protagonist of the game, nearly every choice that the player makes when Anne is on the screen is one they're making for Anne, not Tony. Tony is only occasionally the MC of this story. Phrasing options as Tony's choices, or even pretending that they could be, leads to ludicrous scenes like him sending Martin into the shower with Anne. Unless he's so lost in his cuckolding fetish that he craves being utterly humiliated by his dad a second time (and, to be fair, it sometimes seems like he might be), Tony would never, ever make that choice. But then again, he couldn't make the choice that opens up that scene — Anne and Martin fooling around on the beach — because he wasn't there. Again: we're making choices for Anne, not Tony. 95% of the choices we actually make for Tony are when Anne's nowhere to be seen. The rest are all about his wife. Think about how much more sense that scene makes if Martin pokes his nose into the bathroom to perv on Anne and, depending on her perspective about the state of her marriage, she's the one who chooses to invite him in or send him away.
This story would be vastly improved if it accepted that it's a dual-protagonist game and went all in on exploring Anne's feelings, thoughts, choices, and so forth. For example, if she was the one who decided to cheat on Tony (because they're not having sex, because he's cheating on her, because he's not being supportive of an activity he initiated in the first place, because she's gradually lost respect for him because of his fetish, or whatever else that would be relatively common for a story in this genre).
And there's so much more that would be interesting to know. What are her feelings about Dre? About Ryan? About Malcom? About Martin? About Mike? Why choose (if she does) to cheat on Tony with the two people — Martin and Ryan — that would hurt him the most, rather than, say, Drake? Was giving her panties to Troy a subconscious reaction to Tony and his coworker's obvious flirtation, or was it a conscious and pointed message? Why is she revenge-fucking dudes at the end of the story? Why does she suddenly have romantic feelings for the two men on the boat? Etc.
One thing that definitely improved from TAC to TACOS (though I haven't played the last two updates, so maybe it hasn't continued) was that Tony, rather than simple-mindedly and unquestioningly encouraging every single activity, actually showed some interest and concern about something other than his fetish for a change (I'm talking about the weekend spa scene). He can question her actions, and if he does she's forced to explain them. But it's very difficult to understand or empathize with Anne as a character if we can't get into her head more often. I dunno, maybe that's the point; maybe she's supposed to be an empty vessel for Tony's fetish. A sex doll to whom he happens to be married. But that's a pretty bleak and inconsequential story, if so.
Probably not any help but I played that path for fun last week when I read about it and for me it just ended when you choose a girl to call no car salesman sceneOk, same scene that I am thinking of. However it does not lead to calling Kelsey or anyone else, just flows to car salesman. If not the case I need to look for the original non-walkthrough script.
Thanks for the file! Saves me a download of the whole game. But it looks like your file is also the walkthrough one. All good though. I just got the Bust Ryan/Anne and the Breakup/Call scenes mixed up. Phew! no need to update gallery mod.Your love is still to high, my guess. I added the script in case you don't have the original any more.
You need to look from line 1133 on forward! Then 2275 sat_afternoon. Then 2514 and choose "don't call anyone" to get the Anne+Martin end if Martin cheat = true.

Except that explanation wasn't in the game. She didn't say anything, she just fell asleep. This is the heart of my point: she has a reason. It could be anything, but if she can't vocalize it, how can we know? We can only speculate, and this thread is full of years and years of speculation, some of it mine. Was any of it correct? Only Anne could tell us.This could have a really mundane explaination. The Dev simply wanted to concentrate his efforts on the other sex scenes in the game, and just decided to leave out this content, and explain it by saying Anne was too tired.
Even though that's obviously what he wants based on later gameplay, this isn't true. The initial remit was that they'd to this as a couple. Tony never explains his fetish to Anne, so she has no reason to assume that she has freedom and he doesn't. She's enthusiastic about the first cuckqueaning episode (whether or not Tony turns it into an Anne-focused event, which he can) and she's enthusiastic about Nicole. They absolutely didn't enter this lifestyle with the understanding that it'd be all about Anne. Tony might have believed that, but he never once said it to her.When the game starts, Tony states that he wants to watch his wife with other men.
in any case in the game he never tells Anne this...This is from a conversation between Tony and Kenny when they went over for dinner early in the game. He does want to know what she does.
