Great that Risa is officially in the main LI category !
it's not just that.
her positive attitude immediately felt that she was hiding some kind of depression, or jaded outlook to life. with a matter-of-fact views on the "elites".
I might end up making a corruption save for Risa, not sure though. I definitely don't want anything love/romance related with her though. I've had too much history and run-ins with real life addicts. You can't even save real life addicts, not really anyways. They have to save themselves, which can sometimes be accomplished through your words or actions, but it's still their decision at the end of the day. I've known too many addicts who have died or have lived hollow lives, and I'm not trying to go through that in a story that so far has been fairly chill and wholesome. (At least on the love route)
That is very good news indeed. She has felt like a main LI to since the whole drug den scene.
True but my knight is shining armour mode was activated during that scene and I have been in love ever since.the scene is right at the very end, though.
Oh right, I forgot he also had brain dmg. Damn, bro's got it rough... I'm pretty sure Neon said he was autistic too. So all that, plus just being young in general.
Sad to hear, but what can you do. Is she (maybe) getting demoted because of (less) popularity and wanting to reign in your LI count? Or did you decide that her writing wasn't quite going as good after all? Or maybe her character just isn't as justified for the overall story as the others?
Just FYI, she had that pretty big alley + apartment event from way back in chp 2 plus recently had a huge date event as well. She by far has the most content of anyone. So, she's probably going to be on the backburner to give a chance for the other characters to get their moment before Neon circles back around to her. Ofc, I can't speak for him, I'm just saying prepare for a long stretch of time before we see anything major from her again, just in case.
My armor got equipped before Guy got out of the car. The look on her face was all I needed to put that one before I found out it was a drug den, something just from the way Neon made her facial expression in that scene spoke to me.
Nobody asked but need more screen time for Gabby too
Let's be real for a minute here. Ashe or Nikki are good options for the mc to have a long and stable relationship while charactes like Gabby or Mason are not. Gabby is too young, imagime being in your 30s-40s and going anywhere with a "18 years old", people would think she's your daughter or worse. Mason is a trans kid, he identifies as a straight man while the MC had a crush on Nicki. So maybe you can roleplay the MC as a gay man or Bisexual but nothing in game points in that direction.
Words like gay or bisexual are useless, and Mason is a potential LI, so I don't really give a shit about anything else.
Which is, indeed, a very good point. But it's a characters with a lot of space for character evolution. Mason already said that they enjoyed getting intimate with MC, and cuddling after. Provided you picked 'Mr Nice' path. They could decide they like men too, afterall, and them and MC can build a relationship where they retain their male identity and still them and MC menage to find their way together.
Harsh, I get that you don't like Ashe but she's not the blonde cliche past the surface. It's explained in game why she has her dumb manerisms but besides that she's intelligent, has a degree, work at the museum and so on. Also unlike other characters she doesn't need Guy to fight her battles or to rescue her from a life of misery. She has been dealing with her traumas since College on her own and her life is not a trainwreck, it's the opposite.
This ^^
