@JimD In future game ,Can we assign someone spy in group or outside group ? I think that is interesting .maybe need to do if we maybe have to fight with Good man’s army or large group which is outnumber us .
And I wonder if there is re-election in group.Is 'hight alliance ’ is key which we win election again ?
Not… exactly sure how I feel about Gina’s reaction to the ‘co-parenting’ deal. I mean I get it, you’d been kinda only hooking for 3 weeks or so and such, kinda a big thing to drop on someone your lewdly interesting/semi romantic with. So I do get hesitancy, yet at the same time I don’t think the sell job was all that great. Feel like we should have a means to sway her maybe.
Like you know how much she loves kids and cares about them, and since she can’t have kids (which seems odd to mention AGAIN even when we know already early on, might wanna take that mentioning out Jim) one could maybe sway her with the whole dangers of your job in the group (as leader and such) or say how you and Jillian enjoy her companionship and it would be the closest means of having a child, and maybe let her think it over rather than the ‘shut down the idea’.
I think that’s an excellent idea!
I second that, think it would be a cool idea
Eh, I think Gina’s reaction was warranted. She signed up for some fun, and now she’s being asked to parent. Especially seeing how she’s a widow that begins a relationship also to simply have fun and at most has budding feelings, I think it’s perfectly reasonable.
Besides, she still agrees to help as she would with any other kid, and outright agrees to look after Nephew if you ask her to on the off chance something happens to you. Give the woman some time and respect her boundaries.
I agree. It’s strange to ask a person to co-parent your child/niece/nephew when you have not been romantically or otherwise involved with them for a long time. Gina doesn’t owe anyone anything except for assisting in mutual survival of the humankind in any way she is capable of. Zombie apocalypse is not an ideal condition to raise a child. Besides having personal boundaries, she might have been reluctant to be saddled with a child (an added social and mental responsibility). Who knows maybe she’s been struggling to come to terms with people dying, flesh-eating zombies and continuous fight for survival. I don’t remember the characters and the previous installments of this game series, but I’m willing to atleast replay the fourth part to better understand this situation. At the moment, looking at Gina’s character descriptions as a partial outsider, I want to assume that she is looking for fun as a way of distraction from the reality. And if we make her co-parent MC’s child/niece/nephew (If I remember correctly, the child in question is MC’s blood-relative), then it goes against her personal will and boundaries, taking into account that Gina is not in any stage of readiness. To take a responsibility for someone, especially a child, a person must be fully ready, committed and live and understand the reality of things. To me Gina seems to be someone who is not fully accepting the reality and thus interpersonal relationships.
This reply was not written in any way to criticize or devalue anyone’s opinion. I am just sharing my own thoughts. My personal assessments of what’s happening in the game or Gina’s character might be way off. It’s been a long time since I’ve played this game. All I wanted to say that forcing a person (even a fictional character) to co-parent and expecting them to respond positively to such an idea is not a healthy way of starting a romantic relationship with the said person nor it is morally just.
Thanks to anyone who has taken their time to read such a long post.
@Mei_Hiroshi I agree, though I can’t really recall what this game is about.
Yeah I understand Gina’s reaction too. I really appreciate Gina’s romance, but I’m not expecting much from her from the jump.
She does look like she’s in this as a distraction considering everything that’s happened. It would be nice to grow closer over time as it would with all the ROs. But I never expected her to be elated over raising a kid with someone who, in her mind, she’s just sleeping with.
Helping with the nephew and being called Aunt Gina is a different story. Maybe her mind will change when Jillian is further along. Maybe it won’t. I don’t fault her either way.
Its shown at the start was happened to her if u started at the right place and stayed awake long enough to see it. The issue I have with her is the safety of others in the group since she killed somebody who was in her group without second thought. Sure she was mad at him for not staying in his spot but she’s more dangerous then the zombies if a similar accident happens again. Last issue is her relationship with the nephew. I don’t like how u can’t tell her to basically back off a bit and getting him to see her as family. I don’t mind her talking but she’s still an outsider so it too early to trust like that
Also worth noting that Gina is explicitly tagged as aromantic in the RO list. That’s not to say she can’t support and care about you as a person, but I think people should have reasonable expectations of how commited she wants to be.
I do have something planned for this. Things are going to change for the group very soon. I can’t go into them, but you will have to see how things go before sending out a spy make sense.
Allegiance is more about the group loyalty to the leader who is elected. The leader role is usually selected based on your relationship with each member. However, I do use both allegiance and morale if you are the current leader looking for reelection. Both give a modifier to determine whether or not you are reelected.
I’m not sure which version you read, because I just updated it the other day. (You probably did read the new version) However, the way I intended it to read is that Gina is not looking to be the parent of the child but is happy to help raise the child. She would babysit and provide help to Jillian and you but did not want to be called mother.
I do like the means to sway her, although I don’t want to make the MC’s influence override her feelings. It’s a touchy situation. You would be manipulating her.
She does express liking the idea of being an aunt to your nephew, but again that’s not a mother per se.
The above is based on how I hoped to portray her feelings, but if it did not come across that way, I can add to the dialogue.
This is a slight error. It is the end of the mission and should loop back to the mission last. I will definitely fix it in the next update.
@JimD Could I ask you about Murphy ? Will we meet him again and let him join us in future ? Well… I quite like his character haha (If this question is spolier,you can skip P.S.Thank you very much ^^ )
If he lived in Part 2, there is a good likelihood you will see him again. Usually, when I flesh out the character, I like to bring them back in some way. That’s not always the case, but I try.
Murphy is from Part 3 (unless there’s a different one in Part 2).
Yes, my mistake. I got my parts mixed up. 
I do think Gina’s shown some growth with the group, much like the other survivors. I don’t know if she’d kill someone in the group unless something truly drastic happens though. The same could be said for other members of the group too, honestly. Even the MC can be rather ruthless if you play it that way.
As for her and the nephew, I could have sworn you could tell Gina in the beginning to pull back a bit and for him to not call her “aunt”. Maybe I’m mistaken?
I almost forgot about her aromantic tag. I can see her sticking around, but more along the lines of having that child look at her like an aunt the same way the nephew can.
Actually what u say about that is just ignored by both of them cos they act like nothing happened later. I guess in my playthroughs I will kill on the spot to avoid this or play without him since she is a good builder but keep an eye on her. Sure sometime passed since the accident but the outbreak has a lot of people including Jaime but that’s probably just stress
One of these days, we might want to change the games name to Parenting Simulators And Zombie Generators.
Yep that used to be a thing when it was confirmed that a character could have a kid. It was crazy so I left until the trend calmed down
