Put a decent amount of time into this game now and still have 2 characters that I haven't met yet. Will they show up through the other stories, or should I be choosing the "elsewhere" option sometimes? I've done it a few times and nothing happens, just walking around a bit and then going to the next day.

Yes the LightmanP mod, I corrected it on another post but didn't edit on the post that you quoted hehe, was mixing it up with other game where I applied a KoGa mod on the same day lol and yes that LightmanP mod has a link in the OP.
I'll edit the post now so I don't confuse other players.

lol Around the beginning of the game Tina was like "Hi I'm bi" and I'm like that's cool, I'm not too interested in her so whatever.
Then a bit later Kaitlin is like "hi I might be bi for tina" okay like she is trying to discover herself so that's cool.
It was at this point I assumed LI's wanting to engage with bi sexual activities with each other would bring it up. When kara said "hi I'm bi" I thought myself correct in that assessment.
Proceed god only knows how many hours later and there I am picking Robin to start a new life with. Sure it isn't really the same Robin you meet in the interim but what can you do. A nice monogamous life with her was just ahead... little did I know she would fuck Tina behind MC's back (literally) after taking advantage of his drunken state. There I was wanting to cry over a broken heart and wanting the MC to just leave but it was too late. I was locked in... so I just reloaded and used the URM to turn off bicontent because there was no way in hell I was going all the way back to tell Tina no to her bringing up being bi. (got a bit dramatic but legit wasnt expecting that scene)
Point being, it would have been nice to have Robin ask MC if he (as in me) was fine with her lezzing out. I thought Tina and Kaitlin doing something fit so I didn't want tina to not be bi, however, I didn't really want robin to do that lol would have preferred skipping the 3some altogether... but no point in bitching now I guess.
It's hard see any of them as the same LI's from the interim though. Besides Polly, Mira, and Selene. They act and look too different. There is some bleed through but still.

Yeah, Polly and Mira are the best, it's really disappointing that there is no throuple ending wit them, surprised me a bit, as that seemed to be the most wanted ending.
As for the Solo endings, Mira and Polly are the best, Marisa was surprisingly good, a few are so-so, most i didn't really like.
Harem one didn't reach yet, but as i have no interest in half of the girls it's kinda the one ending i just don't care about.

I thought Selene's had some nice growth to it. I do agree a Polly and Mira ending would've been nice. I haven't checked out the harem ending yet. Seems like a fuckfest lol It would be nice if you could pick and choose who is in the harem but I wouldn't expect the dev to put in the work for that lol
I liked Roe and Marisa's endings (I like long hair I guess) but they were also just depressing for me, in a way. A story about moving on, sending everyone on and being left with pale imitations lol. What they overcame and their personalities made them great and then they lost that, they just weren't really the same characters I got to know in the interim. Kaitlin lost her uniqueness... Eh I could probably go on but I shouldn't ramble.
Not saying I didn't enjoy the ride or that I didn't like it, just kind of felt unsatisfied with the endings I guess. But that is my humble opinion.
There are places in the game where the lighting looks more than a little weird, like characters' skin is glowing. It shows up on the "train" right at the beginning, and of course people kind of phase in and out. But it also shows up in what appear to be perfectly normal settings, like this:
Is this supposed to mean something that I'm missing? Or should I chalk it up to, "the lighting didn't quite do what the dev wanted, but he just rolled with it"?
Is this supposed to mean something that I'm missing? Or should I chalk it up to, "the lighting didn't quite do what the dev wanted, but he just rolled with it"?
It does seem we're just destined to disagree on things, though in this regard I seem to be in a distinct minority--Selene's ending was very frustrating to me, putting it easily at the bottom of my list, with her sister's just above for very different reasons (though I haven't gone through Allison's as a matter of principle*). Selene as a character/LI I came to like, but in her ending she just needed to get over herself--how much convincing do you need that MC's really into you?** Yes, he knows what you were in a literal past life, and it's obvious it doesn't bother him in the least. But I guess he gets to play Archon one more time...
Anita and Marisa were my #1 and #2 in the Interim, but traded places in their endings. I'm not entirely sure how to account for that, though I do like Marisa better with the longer hair.
* "Letting go of attachments to the past" is the entire point of the game/story--for MC to end up with Allison completely defeats the purpose.
** I'd have been fine if she'd needed to be convinced to be into him--"OK, we worked together OK in the Interim, the sex was good, but do I really want to be with you long-term?" But that wasn't her issue; she was too hung up on "her" past (in a literal past life--it was a different person) and what she thought MC ought to think of it.

Well I may find the ending depressing but that doesn't mean i dislike it or even disagree with it. You spend the game getting ppl to overcome their hardships and emotionally prepare them to move on so they can be reborn. The ending was expected.
I don't really take issue with Allison being an option, while moving on may be the point, some might not choose to. Just like some might just choose no one and move on completely lol If the game was Kinetic and the MC decides to go Allison then yeah id take issue with it but in the end, you have to account for the player. So yeah, it as an option is fine even if I won't pick it.
Selene did take a bit to come around but it was nice that she finally confronted her issues and by the end she did grow from it (despite actually decreasing in height)
I don't know what ending I'd prefer though. I get that they needed to get through their trials and tribulations and by doing so they get reborn in a life where events never happened. Kind of making the lesson learned from Allison pointless. But the LI's aren't really the same characters. Hell we don't even get a small titted LI because Kaitlin didn't even have to overcome that lol so when I go to pick, I get depressed because MC doesn't really end up with the character we romanced in the interim. Except Polly, Mira, and Selene. We end up with their end version but without the flaws or history.
To be clear though, while we might disagree on LI's because of preference and maybe MC's actions, I don't disagree on your overall take. I understand it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't bittersweet even if I can rationalize it lol I'm fine with disagreeing though, open's me up to different perspectives.
Having to use a virtual keyboard with a mouse is annoying.
Only just getting round to this now, I feel like the debt storyline makes no sense, debt isn't inherited, at least not in most places, like UK/USA, and we seem to be dealing with American spirits, no pun intended.
Just started playing this a few days ago, is there an optimal order of events to follow? I've noticed that certain characters can pop up in different characters story events, and characters can reference events that crossed over later on (like doing Robin 8 before Sammy 8 means Bud will ask how Robin's handling things when you do Sammy 8 and see him at the start). So is there an optimal route, or is there just specific story segments you have to watch out for?
True, but just roll with it. Loss of the house and everything else her mother had owned is entirely realistic. As to the rest, maybe Anita cosigned on it? Not really very realistic, but... But really, "Anita's stuck with a bunch of debt that isn't hers" is the story.
Not really, other than to advance the LIs' stories pretty much evenly. If you get them too far out of sync, you can miss some combination content
Yeah it just breaks the immersion. Not quite as much as Mina popping back up during an interlude after she's already passed on. A little bit buggy that.
Likewise.
Nor do I, though I do think it's one the MC really shouldn't pick for reasons I've already mentioned. But sure, people are going to want it.
Certainly not with Polly or Mira; he ends up with a human, mortal version of them, not with the eternal (or at least immortal) being he interacted with in the Interim. And in Mira's case, she has an engagement ring on for some reason when she meets MC in the new world. They look the same, and they remember the Interim (and before), but I'd argue they're much less the character MC dealt with in the Interim than any of the others.
But yes, all of the LIs are at least a little different from what they were in the Interim. Certainly their circumstances were different (whatever bad thing was keeping them in the Interim hadn't happened), and they're all recognizably the same person, but a little different. But I think, overall, that's what I'd want were I in MC's shoes: I said earlier I really liked Anita (and I'm honestly not sure why, in many ways she isn't my type)--but for her sake if nothing else, wouldn't I rather she have never had to go through what she did? I would. Give me the choice between the woman I love having overcome a trauma, and not having had that trauma at all, and I'd choose the latter 11 times out of 10.
Yeah, there are lots of places where the dialogue doesn't match what's actually happened, particularly in the week-end scenes--MC thinks about Roe's room (which he hasn't seen), Marisa looks forward to a date with MC that's already happened, Anya thinks about how MC helped her in some way that hadn't happened yet. I'd hoped some of that would be cleaned up in the DC, but apparently not.

Just reading through the thread and the harem/everyone ending sounds like a pain to earn, I'm assuming a WT is necessary, right?
Edit: Apparently we can use the LightmanP's mod to get harem ending on the other modes, not just hard.

Yeah Polly and Mira's minds are the same but their bodies are different (simply put) and who knows how being human will change them, but MC is along for that ride.
And yeah I agree with the rest. It's better that Kaitlin, Robin, and Anita didn't go through that stuff. MC has to, in a way give them up, but they get a better life for it, and he still gets a second chance with who he chooses.... I do prefer Kaitlin's original look though lol
I am not ashamed to admit I used lol. I didn't with my first playthrough but did for hard mode. This is pretty long and didn't want to get to the end and realize I screwed up early in the story. The choices are kind of obvious but doesn't hurt to play it safe
Fair, and I generally agree. It's not that I like a small bust as such, more that I'm not particularly a fan of a giant bust, and those seem to be more the norm in AVNs. Though at least we get an in-game explanation for this; Kaitlin (in the Interim) says the injuries from the wreck stunted her growth, specifically with reference to her chest.* So no wreck -> bigger boobs.
It's not always obvious when to push an issue and when to let it go--sometimes one answer gets you the Like point, sometimes the other.
* Do I believe this? Not really; I'd expect an 18-year-old to pretty well be where she's going to be in this regard. But at least this difference from new-Kaitlin is explained.
