VN Ren'Py Where It All Began [S1 Ch.4 Fix 1 Steam] [Oceanlab]

[Dr.TSoni]

He isn't her older brother anymore. Never was, never will be. All those little nuances are gone.

What I meant, now Katie doesn't have much basis on which to criticize Willy; with a criminal organization whispering in his ear that they'll exile or castrate him if he looks at Katie too much.

 

[RNasc4444]

And then comes the "anger sex"...
Katie: Not inside, not inside...ohohoh
Will: Sorry I couldn't hold it back, it was too good...
Katie: (angrily) I'll tell everyone...
Will: I don't care what you say...

Got no reactions left again

Hey! No sexy time! The mob dudes will exile him or worse, cut off his tool

I largely agree, Ocean has to make the leg work to explajn this things, I don't think is dead in the water yet but it certainly is a difficult task. I think more flashback is needed for us understand what was the dynamics in the Zanes house and the first chapthers need to be rewritten to reflect the change. As it is... things don't hold much water I am just postponing judgement until the end of the season and if Ocean did not make sense of the mess then I will cry about it

Yeah that's fair but if we keep having to wait for Ocean to "fix" things...it's kinda hard to enjoy what he releases.

To me it all feels off. I don't get the same closeness between them with this new dynamic. It feels more like lust and jealousy than love and teasing. And the things she threatens him with are proof of that. Like who gives a flying fuck what the mafia thinks, says or does. 8 years went by without them giving a fuck. What's different now? It just feels like they're playing each other and using each other for their own goals. There's no sense of loyalty, duty or deeper bond between family members.

What I meant, now Katie doesn't have much basis on which to criticize Willy; with a criminal organization whispering in his ear that they'll exile or castrate him if he looks at Katie too much.

I understood I was just being a little flippant
I think that shows she really doesn't care much about him. She's trying to manipulate and use him for her own goals. Or she is just a braindead toddler in the body of an adult and doesn't even realize the consequences of the shit she's saying. Hard to tell rn.

Ummmm... "clip" doesn't mean "castrate" with the mob. It means you join Luca Brazzi and "sleep with the fishes".

To end up sleeping with the fishes for having slept with the fish, it's almost poetic. XD

Hmmm maybe we can continue the conversation then...
Katie: If the mafia finds out about this, they'll cut off your dick...
Will: It's possible, but at least I fucked you first, and maybe we'll have a child together in "SG"...
Katie: Idiot... well, go on, now it's my ass' turn...
Will: Of course, I was just about to suggest...
Katie: Come on, what are you waiting for?
Will: Hmm, can it go inside your ass too?
Katie: Oh my God, you're such an idiot, you're filling me up, okay, let's not get the bed dirty...

I had similar thoughts playing this route. But Ocean is consistent that cheating is not Miru's nature, so I don't think they have fuck. There are different opitions of the open relationship one where you have to approve any sexual activity and one where you just approve penetration, the cab scene exist but it not being in the script says something, maybe Ocean thought it didn't fit the character. I do think that Miru NTR route is closer than we might think but was only 3 days with out sex, if that was enough she would have cheated before.

I Agree!

Ocean took out the scene of Miru getting fingered in the cab and then later getting spoofed on my the Krayt guy, but we don't know the full context of that scene because it was never coded into the script.

The mod adds it in with Miru's call to William. Who's to say that's where the scene was intended to be? Who's to say the Miru/William telephone dialogues wouldn't be different if those renders were present.

What's clear from the unmodded Steam script is that Miru getting heavy with the Krayt guy in Ch 4 is dependent on her having the bathroom NTR scene in Ch 3. The bathroom NTR scene is dependent on a bunch of variables in Chs 1 - 3 (Global NTR on / Suggesting then reaffirming open relationship with Miru / keeping Miru horny / Agreeing in bathroom on universal poundy coupon).

People said the bathroom NTR was gone from the game. It's not. The Ch 3 bathroom Miru NTR scene is still in the unmodded Steam release, and Ch 4 topless Miru telling Will over the phone about getting felt up by the Krayt guy is still in the unmodded Steam release. They are both dependent on Ch 3 Miru/William agreeing to Miru getting a universal poundy coupon, redeemable by men other than William.

All that's missing are the six renders (named q5 to q10) showing Miru getting initimate with the Krayt guy. I think we have no context to those renders other than them likely only getting triggered by William agreeing in Ch 3 to Miru having fun with other men...

Thus, the way the mod introduces those missing lewd renders makes it look like Miru is deceiving William. I think that's disingenuous for the reasons outlined above.

On the surface, I Agree!

I think you replied to the wrong comment John

I'm assuming it was a mistake because I didn't mention Krayt or NTR at all. I discarded Miru based on her personality change alone. And the example I gave was her threatning the bar owner during the shakedown...

Yep. sorry, my mistake. I edited in the correct post...

You discarded Miru, that leaves Katie. Next update you'll discard Katie for getting involved in the Mafia business . Then there will be no one left for you but HELEN (No Tattoos or Piercings).

If without spoilers: much better visuals, the soundtrack has changed for the better, everything feels smoother, as well as changes in the story, which (for me) made the game better but slower. Either way you should play it for yourself. But be prepared - the MC's chin and jaw moves more and more forward with each update

reminds me of Crimson Chin and Cleft The Boy Chin Wonder.

Man, I just don't get that hangup. For me it's not about tattoos and piercings, it's about the person wearing them.

 

[DuckWalker]

Probably the main change, MC isn't related to anyone now. So, no bum-bum with step-sis anymore. If 'cest was the main reason you play, better drop the game right now.

Besides that, another big change is that Wollust is mostly ruled by criminal families with rather medieval rules and traditions, and the Zanes are one of those families. It's not that something like this wasn't intended in the old version, but now criminal rivalries and mafia life are brought to the forefront of the plot and some plot elements are adapted to this change in the main storyline.

Otherwise, it's still the same WiAB, only better. The MC (Oh yeah, his appearance has changed, he now looks like Momoa, but that's not new, in the old WiAB he was changed two or three times.) is still fooling around, groping girls, cracks dumb jokes and trying to figure out why Leia has asked him to return. But now all this has a mafia flavor.

There is certainly a small but rather vocal group of users here who took the change with hostility and endlessly repeat in this thread how they don't like anything since the release. And maybe twice as many people who didn't like the changes too, wrote a review about it and moved on.

The rest of us are enjoying the update and waiting for moar.

Was not into Incest, but removing relationship with everyone does not sounds very promising, I mean imo that had major effect on plot. Guess will know once I play it, fingers crossed, I was enjoying where the old version was going without my NTR and 'cest run

 

[Maviarab]

Guess will know once I play it,

Yesss...maybe you should do that.....

 

[Maccabbee]

Yesss...maybe you should do that.....

OK, Grima Wormtongue. Keep it under control.

So miru's bus scene leads to nowhere? Was it just a tease?
What are the conditions get NTR?

 

[Maviarab]

That time again huh....

Another day, another tiermaker.

Completely disagree here. The plot changes made characters act differently to what we have seen from them before. As a direct consequence of the plot changes. I lost all interest in Katie and Miru after this update because I felt like they were no longer quite the same characters that chapter 3 had presented.

That ship has already sailed. Katie is off my LI list. If I ever play another update I'm gonna have to settle for Kat or Mon

Kata is not settling, she's top tier. Mon needs to start moisturizing, or something, but she's pretty enough.
