I DEMAND THE UPDATED INCEST PATCH

Not happening anymore.

Not happening anymore.

Then the whole premise of the game doesn't make any sense...


Overview:
Years have passed. Things have changed. After a surprising call from your twin sister, you decide to head home to see what the hell is going on. And you certainly didn't expect that.

Who cares what "you demand?" You want it so bad, make one yourself.

Report the opp then as a game update and say the overview needs changing. Also maybe mention the incest tag again (though they don't seem to care about removing that) if it bothers you that much.

I just answered a question.

 

[LHDLLB]

The frames of reference are:

1. "Gigachad" was 16 when he left.

2. He was framed a little under a month after he left.

3. The amount of time "Gigachad" spent in remand awaiting trial and then sentencing isn't stated.

4. "Gigachad" spent two years in Monte Ardente prison.

5. When "Gigachad" was released from prison, Miru already had a boyfriend. How long Miru stayed with this boyfriend before hooking up with "Gigachad" isn't stated.

6. Miru states in the present that she's been with "Gigachad" for "five years, three months and eleven days."

3. & 5. make calculating the exact amount of time since "Gigachad" absconded impossible. Added to that, "Gigachad's" current age is never stated.

If, for example, 3. and 5. total, say, 12 months, then he was away from Wollust for roughly 8.5 years.

Besides, "Gigachad's" relationship with Leia was NOT the reason why he left Wollust at age 16. If "Gigachad" and Leia did "something," it could've happened some time before he left, not immediately before. PS - I know many of us thought Leia was directly the reason why "Gigachad" left Wollust, but the real reason was set up in the original Chs 1-3, not just in the reworked Chs 1-4. It's likely only the minutiae behind the reason was altered.

Couple of points in no order.

Ocean did not said once that William was 26 ? I ain't sure where I am pulling this information from but I don't think it is out of my ass. Either way. William has tops 30, he can't have more than that so we can speculate a little still

The reasons was never stated cleary, but was so heavily implied that if not Leia I don't know what could have been. It was something William did and Katie threatened to tell "them" - presumably - Dylan and Helen but William was more concerned of Katie telling "her" - presumed by me- their then Grandmother now something else. At the time the only think that made full sense was they being a little bit too close, now... maybe Leia was in contact with her uncle ? They could have been looking for their families. If this is the reasons things may start to work a whole lot better.

Curious too about when William and Miru relationship started. In the farm when they are talking about the first time they had sex William cuts himself short, at the times I assumed right after he was out of jail, but now we know that Miru was in a relationship and she dosen't seem to have cheated.

FTFY. Overview on OP now reads with the Steam app description in the store page.

It's like some people forget where they are and think this is an official game forum instead of a pirate site. WTF?

William left at 16. In jail for 2 and dating Miru for over 5. John's numbers are correct. He spent a little over 8 years away from Wollust. Which makes him 24/25.

Why he left in the previous version? Shame. He was caught with his twin sister by their younger sister who may have threatened to tell Mom and Dad.

Why he left in this version? Mafia reasons.

There may be unaccounted for time, as mentioned above: jail and trial, time before Miru left her boyfriend and hooked up with Will. Yeah, I'd guess 8-10 years.

He also didn't just leave because of Katie. That made him try to move on from Leia with Mon, which led to the hilarious horrorshow at the party. Him realizing that he wanted to be with Leia after using Mon as a cocksleeve, and the possiblity of being outed by Katie is what made him leave then and there. He left straight from the party.

Thanks. Was a little off but I was sure Ocean had talked about it

Yeah,

I am assuming William is in the 24 to 26 range. I wonder what Miru's age is? William was 16 when he first met her. Is it realistic that a 15- or 16-year-old Miru left Japan and went to live in Wollust solo?

As to the reason William left Wollust, it was hinted at in the original Chs 1 -3 (the dialogues didn't change in Chs 1 - 4) and then implicitly stated in the latest update:

Spoiler: Original Chs 1 -3 hints (kept in Chs 1 - 4)

Ch 4 reveals that the reason William left Wollust is because he kissed Katie. I suspect the original intention was that William was simply fearful of Leia's reaction, if she was told of the kiss, so he fled. The Ch 4 adds the relationship taboo between Will and Katie, meaning he fled to avoid a much wider wrath:

I'm kinda holding my breath and waiting to see if future updates clarify many, many things, so I don't want to pass to much judgement on the changes.

The whole Mafia thing is what it is. I more shake my head at Ocean's version of how he thinks the mafia operates, more than the mafia inclusion in the story. Most of the plot holes I picked up on are about simpler things that I don't think make sense even in the OceanVerse.

we'll have to wait another two years to see an empty update again

Man, now you got my head spinning. Maybe I need to do a new run. I know the scene where he say they kissed but why do you think this was the reason he left ? I don't think the game make this clear. Also I don't get the feeling that Leia dosen't know why he left, but I also don't think Leia would be half as cool with Katie if she knew. Is a interesting angle for sure, but I don't know how I feel about it, Katie also would be waaaay to young if William has 25 when he was 16 Katie would be what 10/11 ? Só when the hell did this kiss happned ?

I don't hate rhe mafia shit either. I am just trying to make sense of. It but the information give to me is pretty scarse.

Long story short. I like your take but I don't quite buy it yet.

If you look at the dialogues, it's pretty clear the kiss and Katies threat to reveal it was a fundamental reason. However, it may not be the only one, since Katie says: "My theory is that this was the first domino to fall in you, making a run for it." If there are second, third, forth dominoes, then they have not yet been revealed, so we can only speculate.

... and, bejesus! The Mafia stuff is a mind-f##k! There is just so much of it and s-o-o-o many families. I think Ocean is gonna need to keep using those FBI boards just so players can wrap their heads around it.

My pet peeves regarding those boards and the Mafia...

Katie was teasing them, but they never kissed until his return. Katie was jealous of the relationship between Leia and Will. She threatened to expose him, was kidding (according to her). Nowhere in that dialogue you quoted could I see any mention of a kiss between Katie and Will.

I will go and replay the scene as it seems I am missing bits and pieces. But you two seems to be at odds. Johnny says that the kiss was the first piece to fall, please correct me if I am wrong don't want to miss interpreted anyone, but Maccabbe says there was no kiss before the one in Ch4.

If there was a kiss with Katie before Ch4, I kinda want to know where because 6 years is a hell of a difference if you are 16/10.

I still don't buy William running from fear of Leia, but if he now runs because of Katie... I don't know.
