I'm sure it will happen as he builds the next couple of chapters, then a final continuity polish at the end of season one. I think right now, he's just been focusing on getting the story clearly away from the danger territory. My guess is he'll extend the changes to SG S1 with pure script rewrites for simple changes, because there won't need to be many, if at all, but he might simply for clarity, then make sure of all the changes in S2Ch1, then go back and polish Ch1-4 WiaB while doing Ch5.

I think I'm enjoy this a lot more, I like this kind of tension more than the way it was before.



That seems legit to me, not to set him and Miru apart so much as neutralise his potential chaos. At the moment the Zanes don't have any family to accuse of the interference, and Leia's the one who will get the family and the Asanos in trouble. So by Willi returning he's now in a precarious situation where he has to face judgment... but who got Leia to call William back? Emilio and Riri. What's their stake? And who is the mole the fed's have at Leia's? Riri or Emilio spring to mind. But it could be any of the girls, that would be easiest.



They're the ones Kata mentions at the farm in ch3

I hope, WiaB can't have the luxury of being the mess that is SG S1. I don't think that I will like it more, because I liked how personal it all felt before, but I think is something that I can like. But futher change will be needded, I don't even think this is the chapter 4 that he had in mind 2 yesrs ago, is a soft reboot where the first 3 chapters don't is fully fitting in with the rest, with would be fine if we have 10 insted of 4, maybe this was one reason to make it bigger, get things better set up.

I think that Emilio only gave the ultimatum to call William after the bar scene, but not before, that was Leia introducing chão because she is cornered

Want a joke? I recently played the old version of the game and found an interesting note in the official walkthrough from Ocean that the game was based on real events. Now I'm wondering if the real prototype of the hero finally made peace with the prototype of Leia and continued to fuck her or not? :ROFLMAO:

Leia had been escalating the drugs before William was back, and has been organising the guns, it's only been a few days and she has the gun shipments alread close. So I think the initial call was EMilio and Riri's terms if Leia wanted their approval. I'm not sure what their power over her is, but maybe she's set them up to contradic her worst impluses, so they can veto her if she's going off the rails? Or maybe they were there from Joe's time when he was running things.

Without remaking the first three chapters it will always feel off. From the first chapters you should feel that you are entering a mafia family home and meanwhile you have the impression that it is a standard family from some Texas and here boom surprise Italian Mafia and your girlfriend is not just a regular street smartass but a full style sociopath from Yakuza. Zane employs two people in a car repair shop where their entire criminal operation is which is worthy of the prestige of the great Donna where all those gangsters who work for Helen and Dylan. The only things we see are Leia's operations.

Summers Gone also needs corrections. All these renders and not a word about the fact that Ayua is basically the daughter of the Mafia, Sasha and her friends probably basically too and maybe even Summer and neither Mila nor Jeff who come from Wollust mention it not a word

deliberations about the origin of roomates were a waste of time because now they can be children of random thugs shot on the street

Both games will not look serious because it will turn out completely out of nowhere that most of the characters come from the criminal underworld without any preparation and thrown in casually as a surprise

You can make a universe like Romeo and Juliet and it can be quite cool but in a form like now it really looks like a rabbit pulled out of a hat

I'm really starting to have flashbacks and similar feelings like in the 2000s with Prison Break everything looks like a result of improvisation written on the knee

Looks like we are gonna have to wait a year to see how things pan out between MC and Dana. She is one fine woman (the finest one for me in this AVN if not Leia) who is in dire need of dicking. There is sexual tension between them but she won't cheat on her passive bf also her telling MC that she wants to be with someone she can have a family with and not some quick fuck.

if his actual non fuckable family shows up, just come up with some Rumpelstiltskin bullshit that the actual family had to give up his firstborn male child to them or something :)

probably would be very hard to change a core element of the story like this so I understand if you don't go through with it, specially with the risk of this being invalidated completely. On the bright side, we shouldn't have a new version for the next two years :BootyTime:
