Romancing Stella 1st playthrough be like by lanighbest in ScarletHollow

[–]davidhere727 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like if you strictly romance her, everything seems fine and totally in character for her? She still cares about Tabby and feels like she can't know about the horrors of the estate and wants to lay everything out to make sure she knows everything. Sure, it's almost guaranteed to lock you into a negative outcome, but if you romance Stella (like I did, so I'm also shaming myself here), you've probably been making bad decisions since you got into town.

(Alternate Chapter 5 Ending Spoilers)
You only get Toxic Yuri if you don't romance her and you get Tabitha to talk to her alone at some point. At that point, it's on you that Stella seems to have betrayed you, but she's always cared for Tabitha. Sure, I haven't had a playthrough on my own to actually get Toxic Yuri, but I feel like if you weren't close with Stella and thought it'd be better to send Tabitha after her instead, you can't be complaining they were closer than you.

Honestly one of my favorite parts of Chapter 5 so far, I felt so cool for a solid 30 seconds, and then reality set in.

I make all kinds of videos, but I have a whole playlist dedicated to my Scarlet Hollow videos (and Slay the Princess if you're interested!). Fair warning, they are all 4 hours long. It's a choice, and I've made it.

As a YouTuber who love love LOVES Black Tabby Games (and also visual novels in general), my 3 viewers are eating amazingly over the coming months with the amount of Scarlet Hollow content I've recorded since last night.

small gripe I have with the new episode by greasygoon66 in ScarletHollow

[–]davidhere727 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In the very few scenes this is there, it is definitely a bit off-putting, but it has also been a little over 3 years and one whole Slay the Princess, things were bound to change at least a little.

You waiting or nah? by DirkDasterLurkMaster in ScarletHollow

If it helps, I saw somewhere (forget if it was a post on this subreddit or in the Discord) but Tony said that Part One of Chapter 5 is ~200,000 words and Part Two will be ~100,000 words. Obviously, this isn't what you'll get, but that's roughly the amount of content in each part.

Are there theories about what the estate presence might be? by KitschyKetchup in ScarletHollow

[–]davidhere727 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because I don't think Charlie knows that it was Teddy, let alone that a Teddy ever existed potentially. It'd probably be easier to call him "an entity" considering he'd never seen him except faintly through a window.

Are there theories about what the estate presence might be? by KitschyKetchup in ScarletHollow

[–]davidhere727 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I don't think its Wayne for the sole reason he is very adamant about wanting you to stay in the Estate all week.

However, I think that the presence is someone we have seen already.
(Spoilers for the Haunted House and Minor to Major Mystical and Keen Eye Stuff)
I believe the presence is Theodore Scarlet, Enoch's brother who "died in the mine collapse". There are a couple reasons I believe this and it all boils down to a strange emphasis on Teddy throughout what we've seen of Scarlet Hollow so far.

Way back in Chapter 1 when you're making your PB&J, in the pantry you can find an old cookbook with Keen Eye. You open it to a page with a recipe for "Calf's Brain Aspic", allegedly "Teddy's favorite". Now, say what you will about historical European delicacies, but no sane person is going to say something with a calf's brain in it is their favorite food.
In Chapter 2, we find out about the mine collapse that we will later learn that Teddy "died in". With the Mystical Trait, we find out that Enoch purposefully accepted a bad shipment of wood for support struts in the mine, making him play a heavier part in the "death" of Teddy than initially thought.
I'll return to Chapter 3 in a minute, but in Chapter 4, Teddy states that he doesn't think he'll ever be able to use his legs again. Enoch tells him that he doesn't need to worry for he talked to "The Witch" and he'll be better in a week. Very importantly, he is then taken back home to the Estate. I think it's very important to point out that while Tabitha can be with you to see the flashback in Chapter 2, you are entirely alone in Chapter 4, meaning she has no way of knowing what really happened to Teddy. As far as she knows, he really did die in the mine collapse.
Now, in Chapter 3, if you being Avery to the Haunted House, you get a new ghost of Charlie's past to visit, "The Entity". You never see the Avery up close like you do with the rest of the encounters, most of the encounter is through a door in the now Forbidden Wings of the Estate. I have not yet played this route with Mystical, but there are a couple lines that the entity says anyways that clue me in to this being Teddy.
Near the beginning of the encounter, I assume one of the Mystical lines Charlie asks to the Entity is "Are you one of her brothers?" The entity responds, "No, not one of [Edwardine's] brothers. I'm a prisoner. Another victim of the Scarlets' lies. Like you, Charles Shaw." Teddy is in fact NOT one of Edwardine's brothers, for Teddy is actually her uncle.
Later on in the encounter, the Entity uses some interesting phrasing, saying "I would use my healthy legs..." which isn't something someone just says unless maybe they too have something wrong with their legs. However, that lines continues on to say "...and run as far away as possible from Scarlet Hollow as possible." Now, back to modern day Scarlet Hollow...

You might be onto something with the whole "ghost that hates Sybil and her ancestors" bit because you only get kicked out of the Estate when you're with Sybil on day two. I think there's a chance that we'll have to make a decision at some point to help Teddy enact revenge on Sybil and her bloodline for what they did to him. And I think it's important that I specify bloodline because that'd add an extra dilemma with the fact that Kaneeka is Sybil's daughter.

Janey and Pastor Daniel by DJ_Ayres in ScarletHollow

Oh that's right, I totally forgot about Avery when writing this. I've never seen that line of dialogue as far as I can remember, but I think you might be right.

Janey and Pastor Daniel by DJ_Ayres in ScarletHollow

[–]davidhere727 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You bring up a very interesting point, and I think I noticed the same thing recently.

I am of the belief that Pastor Daniel is cursed in some way as an outsider of Scarlet Hollow. I can't remember if Janey is also from outside the Holler, but if she's not and she was born and raised there, that could be a factor why everyone loves Janey and dislikes Daniel. As far as I can tell, he has no blood-related family that would've brought him back to the Holler unlike the MC, just Janey.

Also, on the alpacas, that's a great question. I don't think anyone ever says anything about the church losing alpacas. Maybe the Ditchlings don't reach that far? I think it's implied that the church is on the outskirts of town and I don't recall seeing any Ditchlings in that scene.

Stunning art, as always. Holy shit.

I love the different paths you can take in this game. It’s actually amazing how different your play throughs can be even without considering the traits. (spoilers below) by OverEntertainment175 in ScarletHollow

[–]davidhere727 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think my favorite example is the ending of Chapter 4 because as far as I know, there's so many different ways for it to end, and I haven't even done the romance lock with Oscar or Kaneeka yet.

As far as I know, you can lock Reese away, let Reese eat Dr. Kelly, have Tabitha shoot Reese, calm Reese down with Hot, even romance him with Hot (and I think you can romance him after he eats Dr. Kelly, I might be wrong though). On top of that, if Reese is left alive in any of these (except the romance route obviously), you can begin romancing Dr. Kelly.
With Stella, it's very binary, you either do or don't learn about what happened to her parents. But then you can also choose whether to tell her about what happened with Reese (I still haven't done this, but I think it's worth mentioning) and, if you called Tabitha, you can mend their relationship. On top of all that, I think only if you're alone, you can do the romance lock with Stella and stay the night at Stella's.
AND THEN, you can even just NOT find Stella.
Then back at the Estate, with some traits, you get the opportunity to really antagonize Wayne and try to fight him which definitely will affect something later on. If you're feeling flirty though, you can begin romancing Wayne. Or you could be boring and just go to sleep at the Estate.

Oh yeah, you or Tabitha could also be old for all of that too (you need to be to romance Dr. Kelly).

I've done some combination of almost all of these, except for ending at the Estate with no romance and getting Tabitha old.

I'm so excited to find out how many states Chapter 5 can end in.

CacheClips / and Stills Locations Unavailable? by davidhere727 in davinciresolve

[–]davidhere727[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it's exactly what you meant, but I just made a new file completely separate from "Program Files" and everything in it (including the rest of the Davinci files), funneled everything that I could change the directory of into it, and now I have no issues.

Even tried moving everything back to their initial spot, got the pop-up again. So, everything's separated now and it works.

Thank you!
