being angry and hurt and getting revenge for his cheating are 2 very different things. To me there is no way it can come across as nothing feeling very forced without her going through some kind of character shift. Once or twice I get it she is hurt and might not be thinking clearly and might cheat out of spite then will most likely regret it right after. But anymore than that I can't see it as not feeling forced unless she goes through some kind of major character change or is on those drugs all the time as I think it would out of character for her.
Now what you wrote would be a major character change for her and would make sense as long as the game shows that is how she is feeling.
As for your first point I mean just play the game it clearly is a NTS focused game right now , when I say it's clearly a NTS focused game im going off what is in the game currently. I don't see a point going off anything but what is in the current game right now as only Bobby knows if it will have a equal focus or not. But right now nothing tells me that will change when NTR does happen I mean yeah it can change but there is nothing that indicate that one way or another just yet. Especially because if I recall correctly we are about the 1/2 way point since I think there is 10 or 12 chapters planned. So until it happens and we see how frequent NTR happens I just can't say it will or won't have equal focus and will continue to say this is a NTS game first and foremost.
Kathryn being angry and hurt, is not a nightmarish consequence for Luke. The Dev has made it clear, on this very thread, when asked about this, that his cheating will eventually have dire consequences for him. And I can't think of any other scenario, where that would be the case.
As for Kathryn's character changing, well it already is. Everything they're doing, even on the purely netorase route, is changing her character profoundly. She's gradually being corrupted, and is becoming more extrovert and sexually confident. That IS a major character change, and once you start to do that, especially if you're eroding your inhibitions, it becomes increasingly easier, to rapidly change your perspective on other stuff, if you suddenly learn for instance that your 'loving' boyfriend, is a lot less loving and trustworthy than you believed him to be. So I don't think it requires the kind of changes you believe it does, because for a corrupted, uninhibited and far more confident Kathryn, it's no longer such a stretch for her, to suddenly decide she doesn't trust her boyfriend anymore, and from now on she's going to have fun, whether he agrees or not.
The game starts off with Kathryn pretty much doing all this stuff, because Luke persuades her to do it, because it's his fantasy to share his girlfriend with other men. But as it develops, more and more, it's Kathryn herself who wants to do it for her own reasons, which is pretty much her becoming a slut. The scenes from their past, show that in certain circumstances, Kathryn has a predisposition to behave in a slutty way. For the most part, it's a hidden part of her personality, something she's barely aware of, and ashamed that she succumbed to. But it's already there, waiting to be awakened by Luke's perverted desires. And once it's awakened, you can't put the genie back in the bottle. So I think if she cheats on him once, it will become a case of her wanting to carry on doing it for her own reasons, rather than just to get even with him. Like all nymphos, the sex becomes it's own reason.
Obviously, yes at the moment this is a netorase focussed game. I made that perfectly clear in my earlier post. Simply, because Kathryn is currently unaware what Luke is up to, on his cheating path. The Dev decided to start this game off following that route, because at the beginning of the game, both characters love and trust each other very much. And if nothing changes, then that's how you would expect them to continue, especially Kathryn, because she starts the game off as an incredibly trusting and loyal person. So for her to change from that perspective, it's going to take something major, like her boyfriend repeatedly lying to her, whilst hypocritically insisting that she tells him everything (which of course she does). Surely, when she finally discovers the truth, that Luke obviously thinks he doesn't need to be equally honest, she's going to get pretty upset and angry.
I wonder in that instance though, whether players will be given the option to choose for Kathryn, whether she does in fact cheat on Luke herself? Or perhaps, the player will decide whether Luke interferes and stops it from happening, or does nothing, or get's there too late to stop it, or find's out after the event? So far Luke has always managed to get there before something 'bad' happens, but once the netorare route starts, maybe he'll just be that little bit too late?
