In my book, Elaine deserve MC revenge for the way she act toward him before the drama about the will condition. If she's end up being Fernand, it will be the cherry on my revenge cake. She's the only one with a revenge arc possible at the moment, since we don't know who the other one is. If she was honest and really trying to amend herself.... Well I'm playing the manwhore path, so my MC is already an asshole, adding another dick move from him won't change much. That part doesn't fit to Edmond but on the stand point of writing, the manwhore path seem to be the most interesting one. All the chaos that will come and the fallout will be magnificent with the humor of Cheeky. I have great hope for the writing of that path.Full Monte Cristo style?
So you mean never actually committing revenge upon the woman he thought wronged him? Or is Elaine actually Fernand in your mind?
I'm on the hate Elaine completely route for my Monica playthrough since Elaine tried to tell the MC that Monica tried to get Don and he rebuffed her.
Oh and if you were curious, Lily will be my Haydé in my second playthrough.
