Nope, you won't have to touch the Ex-Girlfriend if you won't want to. We want to establish a bit of catharsis and resolution for MC with her before we give you the option to opt out. Like MC needs to resolve the shit that happened in the past that way he can move on cause, as you'd imagine, her betrayal didn't help his OTHER issues. Every man/woman knows of a special person that knocked you off your ass for years. The ex is that person for MC.
Sorry to say, but the ex is DEAD as a LI for a lot of people, including me.
She is a hoe, and a hoe gonna hoe.
And I hate betrayal, and she betrayed the mc in one of the worst ways possible.
To me, no type of redeption going to save her as a LI for a good amount of people.
She's most likely going to be the most avoided Li in the game, if she is not already, But I cannot speak for everyone.
You say you're going for wholesome, but nothing is wholesome about a cheating ex.
So she is just a waste of future renders in my eyes.
But aye, what's someone else trash, is another man's treasure, but she is just trash and will stay trash
To me, It should have been an option to block her number as soon as she called, instead of having to go meet up with her and see the hoe. It's no talking, explaining, nor forgiveness to be given.
I just never seen cheating ex GFs as good Lis in general, But as long as she is avoidable, and I never have to see her again, then that's fine with me. But tbf I honestly want her to be miserable seeing MC surrounded by all his girls he's going to get while she's stroking a cat, miserable missing out on what she fucked up on just one time. Hell, even better, I want her to walk in when the mc is fucking her mom, call a spade a spade, then she can fuck off LOL.
Overall, she IS THE PAST and the past should be left alone imo, even if she was one of the causes for the MCs problems.
No matter how you tell it, it's no saving a hoe, simple as that.
Maybe it's just that I had REAL LIFE friends who families were torn apart due to cheating lying ass hoes, and I can say, it just something that I just don't tolerate.
The only way to save her as a CHARACTER and LI is to completely take out that she cheated on the mc.
Other than that, she's dead, and like one guy said, the mc don't owe her anything. No backstory is going to save her, and I am not interested.
But like I said, as long as she is avoidable, don't matter to me, other fishes to catch.
Also, what mc was thinking, sounded better than what he was saying when he was talking to her, to me, he let her off too easy instead of really speaking his mind.
Now I gave this game a second chance after the whole porn “look alike” thing, and I like it so far, the other Lis are likable.
other that the hoe, the other LIs, are fine, especially emily.
Overall, appreciate taking the feedback and applying it too dev, and good luck.
