Technically the girls, MC and Sammy are all accountable for the events of the night. I don't know how the fellony is called in english, when someone talks someone else into committing a crime.
Yeah, the whole thing is a shit storm. But it was Sammy who offered to "help". The MC didn't have to convince him of anything.
Right, now that i think about it, Sammy didn't even share what his plan was. He just was in a 'hold my beer' mode.
You aren't the first to mention that and are quite right.
Well I am also guilty of that, in my first playthrough I went along with the plan cause I wanted those sweet sweet Katie points. But I didn't expect it to turn out that way, I figured the plan was to distract Natasha while Katie 'deals' with Roger. But then the MC picked up the camera and went all in, in every sense of that term.And the "Neo - The Chosen One" move is to retroactively change the Matrix by altering a variable when you find out your past is going to haunt you when Nat tries to blackmail you...I know I am horrible! But I want to have my cake and eat it too! Please devs, forgive me!
I get that. I guess what I was trying to say is that you cant go along with Katie's plan even if you wanted to. The only way to help her is to take things to a whole other level because it's written that way. That's why I call it a trap. With all the other player choices pretty forced scenes like that are just jarring to me.
If i don't recall bad you can go half the way through the plan 'shying out' sometimes in the basement, but i'm pretty sure Nat gets mad in that case.
That's the turning point. It's stay and just go with it or leave and be picked on for wussing out. It doesn't go on very long but still better than going through with it I think. That's just Katie being Katie though. At the point where Katie leaves with Roger and you decide to stay or not she doesn't even get that mad. I think it's only one line like "OK whatever, just go.". Katie gets more angry.
I think that goes back to what's imo both the strength and somewhat of a weakness of WTHI, that is it's main character. The MC isn't just an extension of you, the player. He's almost his own person, now you can direct his actions, but at the end of the day he is gonna remain true to his own nature.
I'd have to disagree with that one. There may be a lot of flirting but if you personally have slept with anything with a slit than that's on you
. It's easy to not be with someone in this game. Just as easy as not having any preference.
yes, but (!!!) there is one point - there is such a thing as a preliminary agreement. it nullifies all your "rapes" =)
That could use a spoiler before you scare or arouse someone unintentionally.The act was consented
I guess I had it easy because I wasn't all that fond of Katie in the first place and the over-the-top scheme just reinforced that belief. So I stormed out of the basement rather than stay with Natasha. Katie was initially pissed, but too bad for her. Still, Katie had been treated badly by them so I didn't want to twist the knife. I told Lily and Debbie the plan lacked class and called it a night, figuring the chaos the evening would generate between Natasha and Roger was good enough.
It definitely warrants a playthrough of its own, just for the inner monologue of the MC. If you pick every 'evil' choice, then the MC is basically hell walking on earth.
As someone who never managed even one renegade playthrough of Mass Effect (I always had near infinite paragon points eventually
) I can safely say I will never choose the asshole options here after reading the spoilers... although I have to admit it sounds kind of over the top hilarious in a certain way... but it's nothing I could ever enjoy. It's amazing though how different playthroughs can be.
Haha, you touched on an interesting point where Cheeky and I diverge slightly in our MC writing style. While Cheeky will heavily imply the MC's moral ambiguity when the player makes such choices, I have a tendency to verbalize them more in the inner monologue.
Lol, the two styles are pretty obvious to me. It's also obvious that in that case I prefer Cheeky's writing. No offence of course but those edits I mentioned before are removing the MC inner monologue a lot of the time.
None taken. Although I bet more of the instances than you think were Cheeky, he tries to avoid it, but doesn't always succeed.
In fact 2 of the 3 Harlaw mentioned were Cheeky.
