He's gone on about this before; seems to be a sticking point for him ...

I think the points about making certain choices and the game ignoring them is more pertinent. I doubt many people play this monogamously and such but if it's there as an option, it should be logically consistent, and apparently it's often just assumed you picked the "sexy" path ^^;

I just finished 10.05 and am disapointed with the Kari speech to the MC in the kitchen, she is hinting that it's up to her and her alone if she wants to work in an adult club and tells him he must have slept with quite a few girls in the office - whats worse is he hasen't - not in my playthrough. I know no man owns his girlfriend but the way she dresses is his buisness and still also where she works
I wish you would have an option to tell Maddie to go to hell and Kari to take a hike if she won't have more respect for the MC - he is paying for everything and deserves to have his lover / girlfriend be more open to dressing the way he wants

I would be more sympathetic to this idea if Kari and MC were 100% romantically committed, and they had long boring talks about their boundaries and expectations for the relationship, etcetc.

This isn't real life, this is a porn game, and I think her behaviors are well within what's reasonable there. As long as she doesn't start whoring it up randomly at her job (unless MC pushes her to do that), I don't think it's a big deal. I would just accept it as a storytelling device; the whole sidesplot of her working at the club.

Any story that places a girl as your girl should repect the norm boundaries of a couple and I never met anyone who wanted there girl to dress like a slut in an adult club and was happy about it, if that was the case I would have dropped her in a second because it means she has no respect for herself as well as for her boyfriend and the future father of her children, porn games should reflect as much realism as possible to make them believable as possible. It already has too many unbelievable possible relationships in it.
as well the MC made a committment to her to be exclusive back when the rel. was initiated - so it should be possible to carry it through

If that's the case, then surely you'd levy the same criticism against players who flirt and/or do more with other female characters while they're with Kari, assuming they made a commitment to her.

Nope because that would be logical.........

No it's all personal choice if they flirt - it is a slight form of cheating but as long as they stop there it's no worse that the married guy who still looks at the menu as long as he eats at home (this assumes the MC made a commitment to her yes)

 

[Loxxxthenasty]

I'll keep this simple... Kiki is good as a sub but seems a bit lax in her dedication to her master.. Could see her making girlfriend grade on a path divergence like with Lois being a sub and being your girlfriend later on as choice would allow.... I dunno!!!
Cassie needs some attention too!! Maybe he could "submit" Shae??

Dude I would have been sympathetic to your take if you had answered the opposite, but that's just hypocritical. You can't be dismissive of MC's flirting then get butthurt when Kari works at a meat market.

By all means, advocate for a purely romantic story, but then do just that unequivocally.

I've done put that person on ignore because of some of the wild and dumb crap he's said in different threads, it was no longer worth the braincells.

People complaining about Kari working at a bar with a liberal dress code, even though Kari has never given us reason to not trust her, and also considering how loving and caring she's been in the relationship, is really dumb. I almost guarantee that most men who try to control what their girl wears, wouldn't be too happy if the shoe was on the other foot. It comes off as really insecure to be honest. I mean obviously every relationship needs boundaries, but they need to be agreed to from both parties, and should be reasonable unless you want a toxic relationship that's bound to fail.

Dude I'm just saying it's everyones choice - I don't like cheating in any form - I just want Kari who the MC has committed to in my playthrough to stick to her man and ask him whether or not it offends him when she does the club. I am just doing the romantic story but it seems her speech doesn't agree with that - and every other choice of girl has already been shut down by my MC

And again, I 100% support that kind of playthrough, pure romance. But you can't have an mc acting like a fuckboi then with other girls, and invoke some holier-than-art-thou attitude towards Kari.

Having said that, I think SlapE is right above, and Kari clearly cares about the MC and isn't about to going lolligagging off in the night...

Are you really so insecure that you wouldn't trust Kari in that case?
As that's... kind of the main thing for a partnership? Trust that is.

I know lots of people suck at trust, but trust is the main thing needed.

She wants to give some T&A at work for people who watch? Would that hurt you as long as it's just T&A? Enjoy it with her!

 

[NewTricks]

Honestly, my only problem with Kari working at the breastaurant is that she already has a job for the love of Pete. She need not work two jobs when her boyfriend is a CEO. Especially not when one of them is for tips. Oh, technically she has three jobs because she has agreed to have babies for medical experiments. All that is just too much to put on her plate and I'm more worried that she will die of exhaustion rather than worrying she will have an affair.

True, I personally think Kari would be better off picking one job or the other and sticking with it. They aren't struggling financially so it's really not necessary. It's her decision though so I personally wouldn't ask her to quit either, I would only advise her that she doesn't need to overwork herself, and that she could instead use her extra time for hobbies or relaxing. If I noticed she was becoming physically exhausted and unhappy, that's when I would put my foot down and have a serious talk with her.

at the breastaurant

GAH!!!!

That's the word I was trying to think of yesterday and for the life of me it was escaping me I wanted to say titty bar initially, but no, that's wrong, that's basically like a strip club. ANd I just couldnt remember the slang for places like Hooters...

-edit: masterpuppets ive no idea why youd facepalm

.....that seems pretty uncontroversial....unless you want the mc to be able to treat all the girls like shit while they all worship him...

God it's not about trust - it's about one man the MC who loves a woman Kari and does not want her to peruse in front of creeps who at times we all know all alchohol loaded do things they should not - getting touchy, call it protective of her
it's not that she even needs the job anymore as her chosen man gives her everything she wants

Boobpub ?
I think we are drifting away from the point a bit, this is about the consistency on the "Vainilla" path, (which has on it's own a lot of nuances" and how the other paths (myself on Harem/slut path) offer more content, not which mindset we have with our partners/ girls,

But indeed! I'd call my stance appropriate with the vanilla path. On a "vanilla path" in any game, absent other fetishes, I'd think characters generally act pleasant and treat the mc with respect and he treats them with respect. As soon as that stops being the case we're talking about different paths, no?

 

[internet_says]

I don't know why you haven't found the real infidelity these trifling hos are engaging in! When I named my character "someone else", sure enough all of the girls immediately started trying to sleep with someone else!
