Okay, let’s explain to you why this scene exists. A little spoiler doesn’t hurt, huh?
To begin with, each character has his own story in the game. Not only MC, all the main characters have it. They have their own path, which they must go. Yes, the ending will depend on us, and later we will make important decisions. But now these are only the first steps. And this is a scene about two characters: Liv and Katie.
Firstly, this scene shows that Liv acts independently. She has her own thoughts and plans. I also wanted to show that she was ready to do everything for MC. Did I show it? It seems so.
Secondly, this scene liberates Katie. If you haven’t noticed, then she’s just a bunch of fears and complexes. She has more of them than any other character in history. They are like chains holding her back. And with this scene she got rid of one of her “chains”. She would never be able to do something like this in reality,, so this happened in a "dream". Here no one except Liv is suitable. And now we have a slightly more relaxed version of Katie! Therefore, this is an important scene.
Thirdly, this scene will create a conflict further on the plot. In my opinion, an interesting conflict. Not such a conflict as you most likely thought. It is not related to treason or something like that. Because no one is cheating on anyone here. At all. If you think about who and whom is cheating on? I don’t know.
I also add that this scene appeared in the very first outline of the plot. And I thought to remove it, since it was very difficult to write it realistically. But if I remove it, then many things will later seem even more inappropriate, and sometimes uninteresting. Now I believe that I did the right thing, that I left her.
So here. You asked the question: “Maybe it's time to drop the game?” You didn’t ask him in your head, but “in public”. With this, you either wanted to encourage others to jointly criticize this scene, or get an answer. And my answer is yes. This scene is not going anywhere, and I can not convince you. So why should you look at disgusting characters further?
Okay, I'm busy dowloading tons of Daz stuff, so, that will be my last answer for this topic.
We already know Liv is acting independently, because just 10 minutes earlier, Inanna said it.
This scene libarate Katie ? What the hell, is that easy to libarate someone from a trauma ? No, of course not.
Since day one, we know Katie is a bunch of fear and complexe, first, with her look (good job), and when she push away the MC, we understand she has problem with intimate physical contacts.
There are two things that bother me with what you said :
1) it's in a dream. It's your story of course, so you can arrange that the way you want, but it doesn't work like that.
Wathever you feel in a dream, when you wake up, you feel differently (because your body is wake up...) so, it's not possible to maintain an advanced excited state (or Katie will have to rush into MC's arms the first second she'll wake up but I don't think you will do that). Plus, what you have the courage to do in a dream is completly different in real life.
2) she did it with a girl (maybe it's the conflict you are talking about) but in term of physical contact that lead to sex, boy and girl are different, and more if it's for a traumatized girl.
So, for me, when you said " I thought to remove it " , it's the good thing to do. You have the imagination to make that kind of story, so you're not an idiot, you have other ways to cure Katie's traumas. (But, again, it's your story, you make it as you want).
You said " It is not related to treason or something like that. Because no one is cheating on anyone here. At all. " but what you want to show us and what we see is not necessarily the same thing.
For you, Katie had trauma and you show us the start of her healing.
For me, Katie just screwed it up and I don't give a shit about her or her trauma anymore. She can turn into a complete lesbian or die eaten by bears. Fake-Liv can return to nothing.
And finally, " why should you look at disgusting characters furthers ? "
I already answered previously : " Is really that easy to drop the whole game just for one scene ? No, of course. I still reflecting on it, I don't know what to do for now. "
Good day to you.
