For those of you who are playing through the Part 4 beta, there is a storyline with Jillian that has raised some concerns. I'm interested in making changes to that storyline and would like your opinion. 

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE SPOILED BY PART 4 CONTENT, READ NO FURTHER!


As it stands in the current version of Part 4, Jillian is pregnant with Lyle's baby, regardless of the actions of the main character. I am proposing two new scenarios that provide more player agency to Jillian's pregnancy storyline.

SCENARIO A

-Jillian takes birth control pills. She still gets pregnant, and it's most likely Lyle's baby.

-Jillian does not take birth control pills. She gets pregnant.

  -If the MC is male, the baby is the MC's.

  -If the MC is not male, the baby is Lyle's.


SCENARIO B

-Jillian takes birth control pills. She does not get pregnant.

-Jillian does not take birth control pills. She gets pregnant.

  -If the MC is male, the baby is the MC's.

  -If the MC is not male, the baby is Lyle's.


Personally, I prefer A. In this way, Jillian is always pregnant, even if you're not in a relationship with her. In this way, you get to see the impact of a pregnant survivor on the group regardless of your relationship with her. It's also a lot easier for me to write. Otherwise, Jillian has this major switch between games that I have to account for.

Which scenario do you prefer?

I'm on the fence but leaning toward B. Both of these ideas are good but I'm going with the second option.

Scenario A all the way. Didn’t like the whole Lyle’s kid thing even if the MC is male. Makes it far more personal that way. Don’t see a whole lot of active pregnancy storylines in any CoG/HG games really, much less in a game with a setting like safe haven. Glad you’re reconsidering Jillian’s character arc here. Keep up the good work!
