If you don't commit to Cindy she'll get involved with Axel. If you don't get involved with Cindy she will fully get involved with Axel, and you can run into them on the street.

Minerva has a husband, Cherry is hanging out with Axel no matter if Ian hooks up with her or not, and Emma openly talks about how she's fine with casual sex and how it's something she enjoys and sees no problem with even after she gets together with Perry. Ivy fucks Mike, Mark and probably others. Jess has a boyfriend on half of her runs, Nat has a boyfriend as well. There's hardly "many more others" than those. While none of them is sending Ian their sex pictures that doesn't mean they aren't having sex.
Is there any Axel/Cindy scenes to watch yet

Claek is into her in general and already fucked her if she is slutty.

Clark is not considered to be full fledged character and more of a replacement in case Ian doesn't get the job and/or doesn't go for normal Holly. If Seymour wants to screw Ian over, he doesn't need anyone, he just denies Ian winning the contest and/or the job.
On a couple playthroughs, Ian didn't get the nod from Seymour about the contest being in the bag. I wonder if you still can win without his thumb on the scale? Either by Minerva putting hers on, or Seymour not interfering and the judges give it to you?

Guys is there a walk-through where it shows choices or stuff we need to do follow a certain character'a path? I went through one with flow charts while I managed to follow it for a while it got quite hard to follow and enjoy the content. I played gggb years ago and I remember it having a guide like that. I know ORS is a complex game to be simplified like that but I just wanted to know. How do yall keep up with all complex routes

Sure, Seymour has influence, but so does Minerva, the judges and of course quality of the book as well, else the entire mini-game would've been a waste.

I wonder if Seymour can guarantee to puplish the book even if its dogshit. Then again, I always wondered if a high book score may not indicate for the book to be published; perhaps a badly written trashy generic book is in favor of better written quality books?

No, the game is just too complex, since it doesn't lock you on character specifics route and instead just goes by scene by scene and just checks if you have fullfilled the conditions for it or not.

Generally, its very indicative which choices to make to be in favor of a character, just save scum. If you want to romance a character, its also safer to not fuck anyone else, usually it closes the romance sooner or later with some possible exceptions.

If you want to be on a specific path, you can also ask and likely get an answer, unless your path is too convulted and too specific.

Book 4 of Ian's screening pile was both good and marketable. Book 2 was shit but marketable, while book 1 was just shit and had no audience, and book 3 was quality but would have a hard time finding an audience. I still think the game is kind of wrong for not giving book 3 a positive point. It just needs to be marketed differently, part of their prestige line, and put it up for a bunch of awards. Book 2 doesn't need awards, it has an audience of readers that (occasionally?) enjoy a popcorn book. That's fine.

Specialising is fine, but diversifying is good too. And it seems like that publisher has the freedom to take a few hits on a prestige novel. What's the term, 'loss-leader?'

While Seymour certainly could guarantee a publishing even if Ian´s book is a pile of dung, in most cases he would not do so. For all his faults Seymour likes persons going on against all odds ("that´s what I wanted to hear from you") and the extraordinary. The generic mainstream of books might be what fills his publishing house´s coffers, but Seymour himself prefers quality stuff. That becomes quite obvious if Ian and Lena are on good terms with Seymour.
So a high quality book by Ian is important, no matter if you are on good or bad terms with Seymour.

Agreed and Seconded!

I see you guys are talking about best girl Alison :cool:
Xupu hacked your account?!:eek:

In spite of the fact that the previous game used Wentworth Miller and Anderson Cooper as models, no, there is no M/M content.
How the hell I didn't notice? Who's Wentworth Miller character in GGGB?
Nah, Gaymour had one small update after the beach arc and that's about it. The story is normal now.
Did you saw that romantic scene with Seymour? Hardly a Gaymour. :sneaky::oops::devilish::BootyTime:
The rivalry is donezo. Clark wins or loses and that's about it. And be real that dude is a chode :KEK:
Agreed. Arthur, Axel or maybe Jeremy would be better for backstabbing.

That would be confirmed if 1. Seymour always recommends the book of Chad Ian who sucked up to him, regardless of the choices in the minigame, and 2. if his reassurance turns out to be always right, so in a later chapter, we don't get a sudden "upps, guess I was wrong".

Nah, that's like 30% of the comments. Though most people are just looking to fine tune something, since it's their 8-18th playthrough. Weird combos is fun.
We get those people for sure, but the user in question appears to be a newbe, so I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. A bunch of people may just have played this game once and wanted so secure a certain outcome for their next playthrough. A bunch of paths can be fairly tricky to do on the first try. With Cherry you only have the one night stand as your opportunity, else she is locked out forever. The Cindy path is an entire mine field to walk through, going on Minervas path requires the right choices and very high skills.

I thought the main thing was if Lena had a positive score with Seymour (but didn't need to sleep with him).

Also, I hope that if you let Viktor know about the corruption he can figure out a way to undercut Seymour, without negatively affecting your career.

Oh, absolutely. And it would be great if there was an annotated walkthrough that had key choices and conflicts on main routes, but that's a lot of work, so I understand why the flowchart format won out.
