I hope not
... though I admit I'm curious how "nice" would manifest in this environment... Technically I think "nice" would be reporting the whole mess to the appropriate authorities leaving the MC with nothing but blueballs as all the women are taken to safe recovery areas since any sex with any of them would be considered under the influence of a roofie (aka "not nice")
In my opinion, there is a small blurred line which may or may not isn't crossed (haven't read through last releases tbh).
Best example is Melissa. You could ask yourself if you should do the last step or not but this decision doesn't change her further arc, only her facial expression (which could be changed again but only if player is eager to..)
Another is Doug. It doesn't change a thing if you are friends or rival with him.
Audrey already has a soft spot for his kink and those are blurred lines. It's only the facial expressions of MC to state a somehow confrontational approach of conversation. If Horizontical would erase those understatements of the conversational approach player is going for the moment, it would be a whole other game.
Dev of New Coral City tried those expressions but would loose fans when changing to those, Horizontical implemented.
Horizontical made both. On screen renders and conversation box facial reactions.
As 'older' players of this game, we both know those convo box pictures:
= neutral
and so forth
+ conversational partners expression
and so forth = pissed but further on talkable to
I've read through many posts and it seems, a lot of players only see those facial expressions Horizontical implemented to state the course of the conversation and couldn't differ either between an MC's story and a story they want to play for themselves (like roleplay) OR they didn't like those "exploited" facial reactions on decisions they thought would be harmless but leading to laid content.
Some even stated they don't like to get a look like that in the conversational box.
"Harmless" is another thing in most of the games on F95zone. e.g. stealing money in other people apartment, breaking into homes to look at sleeping girls or on those occasions hiding behind something to get a look on girls, buying videocams and installing them in other ppl home, buying binoculars to see their neighbours naked, .... stalking, tracking, observing, breaking other peoples privacy without consequences.... Well, that's not harmless at all but most didn't care when body fluids are going.
For me, best example of an 'good'/'nice' ending was Mayor Mayor Mayor. He stopped threatening Natasha like he did. The exception is when player decides to but only then. Otherwise her working area at his place got better for her. If there wasn't a gas leak making woman give in, she may could raise above his head.
Point is,, we could go through all those girls and each of us has another opinion about the point of those blurred lines where it ends to be a ''nice' thing but if those facial expressions wouldn't be there and MC would be shown with his "neutral" face the whole game long, those lines would change because some wouldn't even recognize the course of the conversation ongoing on screen.
