She always wanted a loving bond from Leia and William, which is why she was hurt even more by there bullying. The sweeter moments like this still exist even despite that though. She wasn't tormented all the time and she still wanted to enjoy moments with her family.
Unfortunately I suspect that this is one of those aspects that have been watered down by the remake.

Yeah I'm always afraid of what might happen. Ocean was an unorganized spaz with random jumps making the old build but he knew exactly what dynamics he wanted from characters. Hoping those won't get compromised.
Miru is way better, with Katie and Leia being pretty spot on so far so hope still stands. But he has been under a bit of pressure since his last releases so the fear of dynamics between characters watering down still lingers.

That's a lot to think about, thanks. I get your points, and don't disagree (yet :ROFLMAO: ). I thought it was clear W left because of the blackmail from Katie, but the timing is odd. He left after leaving Mon like that, when he realized he couldn't quit Leia, right?

Yeah, they were into shady shit, even more shady shit then connected teens normally do. All the siblings were raised very "hunger games", ultra-competitive, violent, and to see the world from a chess perspective, where you figure out the moves to make to achieve you goals. They're almost raised to be sociopaths, but still have a conscience (well, at least W and K do).

Dylan definitely caused the bad relationships between the kids, at least between L and K, W was more caught in the middle.
Katie might not have blabbed, but did William know that? Did she even want him to know that back then? Did she like having power over him back in the day even if she would not act on it? William is smarter in his Jason Momoa form,immedietly figuring out Donna for example, but we don't know his reasons in this build yet.
I'm not saying that this isn't the same in the new version, but it might not be. Katie might be blackmailing Willi over other things that we're yet to find out about. The old version didn't have Willi holding axes or Helen holding revolvers. Katie teasing Willi about Leia feels low intensity and casual compared to their talk after the pool scene. So the motivations for the new version might be different, and there might be no blackmail over Leia, but blackmail over revealing what Willi was doing elsewhere. Old version, Katie blackmailed Willi over kissing Leia, I don't think it will be so innocent this time, and it might not even be sexual. I mean, they carved the tree right? It's not like Katie's the only one who could find out - and there has to be a big reason for Helen's no guns thing, when she's packing, and Dylan has the rifle/shotgun can't remember which.

Maybe I just secretly want it to be a little more Tarantino, NaturalBorn Killers/Reservoir Dogs style. :sneaky:

Also, for those who thought that old bullying was extreme (locking someone in a cafe or decapitating a teddy bear), have you ever had siblings? That's not that extreme.

You mean the bedroom with a dildo? :WeSmart:
Ahhh, I was wrong, it's the lakside one where you've had the darkstar. Katie wants Willi to tell her that she tastes better than Leia, except Will thinks to himself "I haven't tasted Leia yet". That's what I was thinking of anyway.

BobTheDuck Any news on discord regarding the possible retcon that was mentioned previously? Not sure what to think when we're this close to release and he hasn't expanded on that topic given it's a rather big chance to the game.

I haven't seen anything more than the merest hints of anything. They have a rule not to discuss that subject. I think Ocean's intentionally wanting us to get hit by whatever he decided to do, like we're playing blind, for the first time.

Honestly, that's better than the cynicism and calluses we've grown while waiting. It'll be good to have surprises that hit like a ton of bricks.

Hmmm...not even a hint of "you guys should maybe start a new save"?

I'm asking because I wasn't going to this time and it's prob gonna be the only required time to do so :LOL:

I probably will anyway. Even if there's no changes, that chicken burger might lead to two very different paths. Or if the people who choose the NTR off path get 10 renders max or something. :KEK:
