Alex and Sarah can talk about John & Jessica & Eric without bringing race into it. I understand your fears well enough, but implying it can only lead to one thing is also kinda narrow-minded. They are supposed to talk about the concept of swinging/sharing itself, not the race of the people involved. At least, that would be the logical way to go about it, but Fable does have the chance to fumble it your way still.
Respectfully, disagree. The way this early scene is shot is inherently narrow, and plays to a very specific fetish.
There is some conversation leading towards that in the 0.35 update. It's not specifically swinging, but more the sharing/hotwifing sort of line, I'd say, but they do (depending on your choices) start more openly discussing their feelings on the matter.
sadface because i want this to occur in a swinger context like "hey that was cool, did you enjoy him flirting with you? I enjoyed her flirting with me, we should do that again soon!"
Nothing to say it won't happen like that at some point.
At the risk of stating the obvious...Tony...
The first bit you quoted aside, I don't consider it spoilerish. The last bit is just the same as anyone can say - it's something that might (or might not) happen, I know as much as anyone else in the thread on that point. For the first bit, I don't think it gives too much away, but it does specifically (though I think vaguely) mention something that happens, so although I don't think it's much of a spoiler (because it's in line with what we've already seen) I appreciate that some wouldn't want to see it. I'll cover it in a spoiler in my original post, and will try to avoid anything similar in future posts.
That depends if Alex specifically points out how John “joined late” and wondered why Eric in particular - none which needs to be mentioned for the discussion at hand.
For my take, that is the express reason that Fable has introduced so many characters into the game, and I believe will have more soon. To provide options for the four different and varied routes, not just one set that "do all".
Most likely yes, but having so many characters strictly designated to a specific “purpose” is a ton of work (rendering-wise), so it’s not the path I would’ve taken.For my take, that is the express reason that Fable has introduced so many characters into the game, and I believe will have more soon.

Which I like....because there are definitely a few of the main ones that I will avoid like the plague
Yeah, well, I am very patient, mate.
My assumption has always been that James and Rachel will fill that role. I might have read it wrong, or maybe just conditioned myself to expect it here, but the conversation those two had after they first met Alex and Sarah gave me the impression that they were swingers (or adjacent).
Yes, that’s precisely what I was saying. Fable introduced James & Rachel as (most likely) purely a swinging couple, opposed to (most likely) reserving John & Jessica for Cuckolding/Hotwife scenarios.
I think you are doing fine with the use of inline spoilers and the spoiler tag.
I feel like yeah, James and Rachel will be swinging, but I doubt the dev is reserving John and Jessica only for cuck/hotwife. I doubt the dev is going to put so many characters in boxes that only fit something specific, cause then that would become stale.
I frankly don’t see the point in adding so many of them otherwise.
I guess (for the moment) we've seen a bit of Jessica, and it's clear that she's happy to openly flirt with guys (and potentially go beyond that?). But we don't really know anything about John yet, having only seen him that once. All we know of him in terms of his preferences is that he's happy to share his wife. It could be that they are a fully swinging couple, or it might be that Jessica is a more typical hotwife and they don't stray outside of that dynamic - in which case inviting Alex in to fuck Jessica (possibly with John joining in) is the only path forward.
It may eventually be to the detriment of the game, but until and unless we get any specific reasons coming out, my presumption is that it's just a case of choice. By having several different options (even for instance do you want to accept swimming lessons from Eric, or James, or no one?), it allows you to go for the partners you want, and to avoid the partners you don't want. Obviously not everyone will be available for everything though (I say "obviously", but that, of course, is another assumption!).
We will have more about Erik, Jessica and John in v0.4 that will answer most questions about their relationship.
