I love Helen and all the shit about her is so fucking dumb BUT, Miru is clearly something else, she's an amazing girlfriend, an gorgeous and kind woman and #1 before Helen.

But I agree that Helen is one of the best physically.
Miru is THE true Queen, as she is the only one we know William has kids with.

I also think Zoey goes after Helen and ahead of Katie.

I didn't know that it was 100% confirmed they had kids. Yes, before someone say it; I played Summer's Gone but since I didn't want to be spoiled and because even if the game is good, I think it's slightly below Where it all Began, so I intended to have Summer's Gone finished before playing it.

Still, Miru is the best!

It's not 100% confirmed but Ayua is a confirmed Zane and her mother is a martial artist in BJJ

The lack of Miru Marauders is disappointing.

There's two reasons:

1. It's an NTR game. If the girlfriend is shit, the NTR would be meaningless - you'd just dump her for the better LI's. The whole point is for it to hurt and for their to be consequences all around. Unimaginable consequences. Such as Dylan (under what we currently know) being Ayua's father. In that situation, Ayua might just call Katie 'aunt' to avoid confusion.

2. How Miru percieves Willi by the end of the game will literally measure how much of an asshole we made Willi to be.

3. Miru is a badass and will take care of herself, thank you very much. There's bones in penises waiting to be broken. :WeSmart:

I will never, ever, ever play a path that betrays Miru. I will quit this game if Ocean forces it. Leia can cuck me all she wants, but I will never intentionally hurt my Queen. Besides, even if Miru wouldn't hurt me, her clan will lay waste to everyone.

Well, it's not a NTR game since you have the choice to enable it or not. It also depends of your choice.

It's like saying a game is a BDSM game because you can have a dom/sub relationship with one LI.

In the old build the choice was faithful or hard NTR(cheating, stealing,etc). In the reboot even with NTR enabled you get the option for swinging/sharing and can ask Miru to be a pornstar, or even choosing to forgo all that and stay committed. The implication is that it only becomes hard NTR again if you have low points with Miru or refuse to sexually satisfy her.

It won't be forced, if NTR off is an option, it has to mean NTR is off.

So look at it like this. If you cheat with NTR on, choices might mean Dylan is Ayua's dad, if it's off, Willi is Ayua's dad. Either way, AYua will exist as a Zane and can be explained in SG, without forcing the player down any path. Ayua is inevitable, but the choice of how she exists can be open to player choice, with a little bit of scripting shenanigans.

But the NTR thing, I'm just mentioning WHY Miru is so great. For the advertised NTR aspects that are a drawcard for some players, there needs to be the consequence of losing something precious. I personally am not interested in NTR, but I like the idea that there SHOULD be consequences if I get Willi to cheat on her. That will make a far more interesting story. I'll play one were Willi's faithful, and several where he isn't. Like in SG, playing one path will mean you never get all of the story - Ocean hides things that only get revealed on some obscure choice combinations, even things like different images in the background of renders. So I'll probably explore the whole lot, just to get a better idea of everything that's going one, regardless of my preference for Katie.

Sure, but Ocean wants a bigger fan base. Being able to turn it off at the start of the game doesn't mean you can switch it on or off at whim, and we've not seen all Ocean has planned. The choice doesn't exist for people who want to play with risk, it exists for the people who want to play without risk. It's not an in game choice in that sense.

That's like saying Donna wasn't really pregnant in old WiaB because we had the choice to choose to turn pregnancy on. Think of non-NTR mode as booting into safe mode; you can't do all the things a computer is good for, but you can open up your word document.

I try not to kinkshame, I really believe in fap and let fap. NTR though, for me, is personally very traumatic and triggering. Needless to say, I play NTR off. It's even difficult if I'm the one cucking someone else, unless it's purely consensual (IRL and Games).

Of course! It's not kinkshaming to talk about your own preferences. You're leaving space for other people to have their own fun. That's how I see the option in the game, it turns off the parts that some people don't want to see. I'm guessing that Ocean will have a different mechanic for betrayal without NTR for those people who don't like NTR. There will still be lots of cloak and dagger to the story though, so relationships won't be simple even with NTR off I believe. I mean, we have an image of Willi with an axe and Helen with a handcannon. Messiness will be a-plenty.

gangs will be gangs. I still don't understand why Leia was so shocked that MC was in prison for a while, with what fun and games she's involved in. Also, if the family is so connected, they would have easily have been able to find out.
