Oh god, now I'm worried... What have you done!? >=O I just want to make sure I don't miss anything or have content still locked, I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it is one of the reasons I'm having trouble going through it as many times as I have, just because it's getting hard keeping everyone's music stats maxed at 5.0 just to unlock these little bits. It.takes.so.long. xD But also I feel like the story just barely starts with Dallas and then it ends so I was hoping that getting access to that part might help me feel better about it? Or maybe it will just destroy me more. Either way I'm not complaining, thanks for the reply. =]
If that's what you want, then you should definitely read those parts. It explains why Robin pushed Dallas away the first time, but (sigh) she pushes him away again. Silly girl. Also, they have sex and I don't gloss over it. I feel it's part of their complete story but I re-wrote it so many times that I sorta buried it on purpose.
WARNING: THIS UNLOCKS LITERALLY EVERYTHING IN MEMORABILIA! SPOILERS!
If you want to see it (and everything else as a by product) hit F1 while in game and type: show memo
The order is: By The Pier > Flashback: Robin's Song > The Dark
This song overlaps into the flashback but doesn't in the Memo: http://ccmixter.org/content/ad...
To turn this cheat off, type it again in the same way. I suggest doing that since even unreleased/unfinished scenes may pop up for you and in general would suck the fun out of the game.
If you do read it, could you give me feedback on whether it should be required to their storyline?
My god, why are you so sadistic? Jesus. But yes, I think that it does honestly need to be in there. I see where you're coming from but it's like a part of it and I feel that it is important. An important aspect of their relationship. But personally SHE NEEDS TO STOP IT! The tiniest things set her off and she doesn't think and I just want to hold him and tell him it will all be ok in the end but I can't! You're breaking my heart.
Also wondering the same thing, and whether I missed something! I went back for multiple playthroughs of Dallas's route, trying to get By The Pier & In the Dark, not sure what I was doing wrong. Even with all the dates/other scenes unlocked, and with me delaying the time until the AMPs by several months to make sure it was after July 2 (per the walkthrough), I just wasn't sure how to get to these two scenes. Tried hanging out with Dallas a whole bunch, but that didn't seem to be it.
That said, I used the find-memo cheat because I just had to see these scenes, and I completely agree with the OP! These scenes are absolutely necessary to the plot and I'm glad I had a chance to read through them. It doesn't really make sense otherwise why Dallas leaves at the end (and it's doubly weird because we see part of the "By The Pier" scene in Beau's route). It also flows really beautifully in the ending-- before getting these two scenes, I found the ending get-together abrupt and wished we'd gotten more romantic scenes before.
