Is the coma plot just a convoluted excuse to set the premises of the main story or does it have purpouse?

How is the "coma plot" convoluted? Dude was in a coma, he eventually woke up and went on with his life. There's no complexity to it. It's a very simple mechanic to set the stage for the triplets' surprise arrival.

What purpose would you like to see? An MC who doesn't know anything about events or culture that happened while he was in a coma? Why? What purpose would that serve?

But if you want a reason for the coma, here's a good one: if he'd just moved away and done stuff, the game would eventually have to explain why Gracie never, ever tried to contact him. That she couldn't, even if she wanted to, is a decent explanation.

I'd say yes.

The coma made MC who he is today.
Without it he would have never picked up photography as a profession and never met the people that are in his live today.
It would have also probably been harder for the girls to find their father.
If he weren't the big deal photographer he is, tracking him down would have been very hard for them I'd assume.
He was also dreaming about Gracie for years after the accident, wondering who his dream girl is.

yeah and that actually met grace makes the player feel more empathy towards the triplets than just a boring text explaining why the mc didn't know about his daughters.

Well. To obtain the effect of finding out (at least 18) years later that one has daughters, among multiple possible scenarios, to say that right after the coitus, the guy was scared away by the father of the girl and was forced to a drunk drive to an almost deadly accident and then he miracolously woke up from a coma 10 years after to the utterly shock of his doctors... It's a bit of an overkill :D We are in soap opera territory. Throw in an amnesia and a second life at the court of an arab sheikh and we nailed it :D

But again, i'm totally cool with it, i just wondered if that plot would have been used later or really the dev just didn't find a more day to day reason for not knowing MC's daughters.

So dude in high school drinks

dude has sex when it is available

dude runs from scary dad who catches him defiling his daughter

drunk driver gets in wreck

NONE of this is far fetched... like AT ALL

The unlikeliest part is that dude was in coma from the wreck. Usually drunk is fine and others dead or all dead.

So yeah not even close to evil twin imposter who fathered a child with another evil twin shit of soap operas

But just a few steps shy of it :D Let's admit that. And again, cool, it's still a working reason.

Maybe to me it's just a bit weird too that panic about teen age drinking. I'm italian and middle aged. Back in my days there was no age restriction to drinking with the result that by your high school days you where already an heavy weight when it came to drink and you didn't drink much anyway because there was absolutely nothing special about it.

I think i had my first beer when i was 12 and i was out for a pizza with my parents and their friends.

The only time in my highschool days when we really drank a shitload of alchool was during a school trip in Denmark to a danish school. And damn, those danish teenager used to drink like a box of a dozen beers bottles each every night out. We didn't get more then tipsy even then.

Good old days.

I still don't understand why it's "convoluted," though. He went to a private boarding school in Switzerland, he was abducted by aliens, he suffered a head trauma and forgot everything he'd ever known, he was forcibly drafted into a secret mercenary army...all far more "soap opera" than being in an accident and suffering a coma. He has to be taken off the board while his daughters grow up so he can be surprised when they show up. Surely a coma is one of the least convoluted or overly dramatic ways to accomplish that. All he did was lie there with tubes in his body until he woke up, at which point he got on with his life. There isn't a single bit of drama in that story. There's just a time skip.

thank you so much.....I am ashamed to admit that I figured out what was wrong just now......I had the OP on ignore because they had released an NTR game and I auto ignore anyone who is pro NTR(looooooooong ignore list)...so the page wasn't showing up. I have taken them off of ignore now and its showing up regularly...as I said in my first post...I'm a moron....thanks for your help guys

Seems a bit extreme, but whatever. 7767 released an NTR-focused game? You don't happen to remember the name, do you? And you're sure he wrote it, rather than just uploading it?

The auto ignore just prevents me from getting into an unnecessary argument about I subject I despise. If I don't see it then it doesn't trigger me. There are three tags that get an auto-ignore from me (NTR, Scat, and Femdom as well) As for 7767 I don't really know if they were just uploading it or if they actually wrote it. I get a bit fast on the ignore when I see NTR...so they may have just been uploading someone else's stuff for all I know. I did take them off the ignore list so given time I guess I'll know one way or the other. Again though thank you for the assist, I have really been stressing not being able to get the next installment of this amazing game!

Well, you seemed pretty sure of yourself and the righteousness of your cause. As you now know, 7767 is a bot and hasn't written any games. So you should probably retract the assertion that it did.

If they are a bot then I am sure that I didn't hurt their feelings by mistakenly believing that they wrote an NTR game, but consider the assertion retracted.
