Unless the entire Martin story line is changed from the beginning it most likely will remain the way it's always been. Like the entire back story of him and the MC and his ex and how the wife knows the back story and how it affected him would need to change. Or they need to take the decision out of the MC's hands because that was just ridiculous. "Martin screwed me over and betrayed me and left lasting scars so stay away from him... oh yea go ahead and shower together." Huh?! The only issue with this is that it then becomes forced on the player which is another problem.Mircom3D made several things clear, such as that Martín was not a Savior but rather a calamity for the mc, Martin boy was right about Emma, that she was the one who ended the relationship, that the mc does not push but rather that encourages or persuades her to do things which is something that bothered me that they thought that mc will somehow force Anne, now that there are rules and they are like the ones I use, do you think that Anne has the ability to block it and if mc doesn't respect her decision that would act ntr, in the matter of Martin unless we fix things with him or reach a middle ground it is possible that Anne will not work for Martin, what do you think because if so the game would have a big change compared to Toc?
Even with no rules to their relationship it should have been obvious that Martin should be a no-go. Martin is one of, if not, the main 'cheating' route antagonist so even with rules it's likely things will progress much like in the old versions.
Maybe if it was like Martin was constantly cheating on MC's mother throughout their marriage and she eventually ended herself because of it and the MC held some deep resentment towards the dad but he's been trying to mend fences and fix their relationship and then Martin and the FMC slowly and reluctantly get closer or something behind the MC's back. Again, this doesn't solve the problem of how to trigger this series of events without some how giving the player the choice to let it happen but at least it's slightly more believable for Martin and the wife to get closer.
A lot of the problems stem from the choices being from the MC pov and not the wife.
So yea basically I don't see the Martin arc changing dramatically compared to previously unless there is some serious retconning or an entirely new approach to that arc which I doubt will happen seeing how TACOS has been so far.
