I mean it is an option and I am sure some people take it because they want to learn more about the game’s characters or just because they wanted to see every choice you could make, I am sorry but the reply you gave felt needlessly sarcastic to me, I chose not to reply earlier because I was sleepy, but I don’t know if what I said merited such a reply, I don’t know if you meant it to come off as sarcastic and sort of mean spirited, I will give the benefit of the doubt and assume you didn’t mean that, but to me at least it came off as kind of condescending the way that it is was phrased and the addition of the emoji just added to that perception.
Since it was a reply pointed my way I felt compelled to if nothing else point out how it came off as.
Though I am, by and large, a great fan of sarcasm, I was actually serious this time around. I’m sorry it wasn’t clear. (ironically, the emoticon was an attempt to convey that it wasn’t sarcasm)
@ everyone You lot are complaining of things that show up too much, whereas I’m lamenting that no furniture got hilariously broken and F doesn’t taunt enough this time around. Come on, Sera, these are the only reasons I suffer through A playthroughs.
It is fine, I preferred to give the benefit of the doubt because so far you seemed like a very nice person in how you replied to me, it really threw me off with how it felt like a 180 in tone, funny enough it was the exclamation mark that really made it feel the most sarcastic, just sort of gave the impression of being exaggerated then the emoji sort of built on top of that.
Thought knowing you were serious I appreciate the compliment.
“Icy green eyes” makes me cringe and I’m not even sure why lol. Does it read clunky and awkward to anyone else?? It could just be my brain brain-ing out.
Yeah, there is a lot that can’t be said with words, really is funny how communication works for humans, our eyes can tell us a lot more about someone than their words, being able to see someone’s stance or posture, their eyes specially tell a lot, there is a reason why human faces are so difficult to replicate realistically in terms of photorealistic renders, we always can spot what is wrong because we are so hardwired to understand human faces, or even just the tone of someone’s voice, their volume, their intonation, everything adds up to give us a lot of information and it is kinda nuts that we can just understand without putting a conscious effort into it
So I just reread N’s route and I may be in the minority here but I enjoyed it a lot. Granted I’m an N main so I am a little biased. I thought there was a good amount of depth added, new sides to the character that makes the evolution of your relationship (if you agreed to one) feel like natural progression. I’ll admit I did think the reaction to the “I love you” news drop was different than how I pictured it but my head cannon is that they are at a loss for words. Did anyone else enjoy their N route?
N is my cannon romance as well, and I was happy with it. I think the only romance that topped Nate’s in book 3 was Mason (who is always my 2nd playthrough) who’s character growth in the romance edged Nate out this time around.
Nobody Topping nobody. All romances are Good, everyone has a preference. Everyone’s preference is Good, there is no ‘bad romance’ or ‘great romance’, they are all good.
N2 has literally two parts I remember: the final scene at the ferris wheel, and when you can break them by joining in on M’s comment about their thoughts about the Detective not being “proper”.
My favourite routes:
B1 is basically nothing much for anyone; M wins on account of being the best character, and on the “pheromones actually work” surprise during the patrol.
B2 is an F win, between how giddy they are about being in love, the badassery of staring down the much bigger kiwis, and the massage debaucle - they just want to do something nice for you. YMMV on the paper planes. M2 comes second, between agency acknowledgement and that bonkers rooftop scene.
B3 is VERY CLEARLY M’s book, and it isn’t even close. Everything works and comes together for the best book finale so far. I’d say N3 comes second, due to the photograph misdirection, which is good foreboding. F3 is very close to N3, but I’m honestly wondering if there was a bug at the time I played F3 because I could swear it had less scenes than the others.
I did, except for the few small problems I’ve already mentioned. I’m more worried about where N is going than where they’re at right now. I held off on the I U in this book because I want to see what all the mysterious mysteriousness is about.
And I swear they didn’t roll in my first two playthroughs. Then, they suddenly started popping up again all over the place. Had gotten excited that the lip rolling had retired in Book 2.
And then at other times in the story they turn a “cool emerald green”, I believe. Emerald is not a light color so I’m not entirely sure what’s going on there. The “cool” descriptor means lightened deep green, perhaps?
See, I think M is such a dick in b1 that his only redeeming moment is the sexy scene at Murphy’s lab…but he definitely grew on me pretty quickly in b2, and is now my 2nd fav. N was my fav in 1 & 2 (And will remain my cannon romance) and he’s lovely in b3 as well… but you’re right, M’s b3 was just perfection. F has the exact personality I had in highschool…so while I think his romance is cute, it skeeves me out a bit for that reason. I enjoy A’s character but I am not a slow burn fan…and his is the slowest burn I’ve ever read. It just frustrates me (as does LT) but let’s be honest…I will still always read everyone’s romance several times through so I can see every tidbit of every path because I am a freak like that.
U in this book because I want to see what all the mysterious mysteriousness is about.
