Episode 7 start - hints and suggestions

[JFR]

... I finally got more than a lapdance on the club... but i`m far from reaching the scenes on the cab so eventualy i miss the good stuff in Brad`s home too.

Now i think the problem starts in the club. Because there is a hint that

spoiler: show

when Natalie gives you a lapdance before Candy takes her place,
she gives you more than a hug. I get only a hug

. I think this part screws up the cab scene and so on.
So what i`m doing wrong here.

spoiler: show

I talk to Candy and i reach 6 friendship points.

I think you are getting lost in too many options.

spoiler: show

The hug from Natalie is all you will get from her in the Club. More with her will have to wait for later in the Taxi and Home.

With Candy, you have to decide which is more important, going further with her or maybe going further with Natalie or Azumi. If you manage to get the lap dance that goes too far and breaks the rules with Candy, she will zip you back up afterward and that will change what you can do later in the cab. To get the more interesting results later, you might have to be careful about what you do in the lap dance. There are multiple story paths here. You can't get everything in one go.

To get to the cab...

Simply go with Azumi for a private dance before Natalie comes on-stage, then after you wake up, pretend to fall over...

From that is the gateway to the new content.

I`ve finished the club "litle adventure". I`m on the cab part. About J. is that all?

Just a pic Brad imagining her in the bathroom?

There are several things Brad imagines if you are on the right path. You need to be on Emily Corruption and be in the stall with her when J comes in.
But yes, it is all imagination for now.

So, i have to play it again???

I went further on the home path, but still not till the end. I have to dig it a little more, but at least i`m there.
Thanks for the clues, all you folks.

Only if you want to.

Have you looked at the achievements page to see what you are missing? That might help narrow it down for you.

Ok, so I think I might have completed the current content, with an exception to

spoiler: show

the couch content that isn't available yet. I'm missing one of the dances, but I think thats maybe in the couch scene? I thought "Allowing a few liberties" might get me there, but it didn't. And I'm pretty sure I've tried every possible combination.

Again, the Achievements page will tell you what you have completed or still have to go.

You are correct that some of the couch-conversation scenes are blocked until the next patch comes out. That was a surprise bug.

Note that there are no new achievements for day 2, so new J stuff is not covered with them. Not sure why this was done. Whole J section could have been made as standalone mini episode.

Not all of it... read other posts on this thread for hints at what would not be in the single office scene.

Considering the amount of new content in Episode 7 perhaps it was because they didn't have the time and resources to go further with Jasmine.
Perhaps it is because future inclusion with Jasmine also involves other characters who have not yet been developed.
There could be any number of reasons.
I think having those reasons explained publicly would be detrimental to future character development.

The Jasmine content is tightly woven into existing content. I had to be careful about invalidating savegames more so with the Jasmine content than the Azumi content. The Azumi content branches a full ending from the Strip Club, and then essentially adds two new scenes. The Jamsine content weaves in and out of an existing scene near the beginning. I felt it was best to take the safest path for the content, which means no major variable changes, no new Achievements, etc..

I could have added the complexity, but made a decision not to in that case. This is primarily because a majority of Jasmine content is still to come. The office is an introduction to the character, and trying to force more to happen with her would not be conductive to the story as a whole. Current Plan is that Episode 9 will have more substantial Jasmine content as we round-robin through the women during the Thursday night dates, beginning with Faith in Episode 8.

beginning with Faith in Episode 8.

But I do not see any connection between Azumi and Jasmine content. As far as I can see all of it is integrated with morning office scene, plus small part that is related to Emili Corruption part (so not a strip club). To me this looks like we could have had two episodes instead of one with this level of content.

Hm...
Actually I could be wrong. Not sure if Jasmine comments differ based on how scene in strip club ended (taxi or old content). There may also be some bugs here, since game often does not detect well end of taxi scene in next day. And there is some extra J stuff related to old strip club stuff related to S.

So there is:
1) New Jasmine office stuff
2) Jasmine office stuff related to Emili corruption
3) Jasmine end day stuff related to old strip club content
(Maybe?) Jasmine stuff related to new taxi content

1-3 could've been an separate "smaller" episode. But maybe I'm wrong...


@Wolfschadowe
Will we get missing day 2 achievements (for new unique things from EP7), in new episodes to come?

There isn't any connection at all between Azumi and Jasmine content, at least at this point of the story. But both girls have been upgraded to romanceable characters in this Episode, that's the reason why their new content is included together. They were just supporting characters when BEW was born, but patrons voted and from now on we'll be able to pursue them. Besides, I don't think Jasmine content qualifies for a stand alone episode release, it's just too short.
