I had Zoe flirt unintentionally but then ended it with mentioning Reza. I'm of the opinion that if you made a commitment then stay loyal or end it first.

Me too. But this is game world. I get to NOT be myself

I don't think Roman is actively evil, but he may well be being used to keep tabs on Zoe, whilst believing that he's helping her. Also, I thought he was massively unprofessional for not shutting me down as soon as I started to flirt with him, which I only did because I cannot let a conversation option sit there unused - I MUST KNOW, even if it means being SUPER awkward! He seems sweet enough, but I feel like it's not safe to tell him anything meaningful - who knows who is listening?

[Clairobscur]

What do you think about Sully? He's close to Reza and interested in Zoë. She seems to like him but I don't (OK, maybe I'm just jealous he can hit on her and I can't ). Zoë could be less cautious around Sully than Roman (one can confide secrets in a friend and hide them from a doctor who remains a "stranger" - of course, the other way around is also true).

 

I was not suspicious towards Roman until I read your posts. But his suggestion to Zoë to connect to a Dreamachine caught my attention...

Hell yeah. That was a total giveaway!

Heck yes! I knew he'd said something else obviously dodgy that I'd forgotten.

Yes... butttttt he did carry on for a while about how much he was worried about the Dream machines. If he really wanted Zoë to use one for nefarious reasons I don't know why he would have done that.

[Tina]

Haha, that's right.

 

This is the ONLY choice I actually loaded up a previous save and did over again during my first (and so far only) playthrough. First I chose "Reza" because I wanted to "chose all the dialogue" but then I thought OH NO POOR ROMAN, and did it over again without mentioning Reza.

 

(I am putting my own previous relationship issues into Zoe+Reza, with the denial, doubt etc. I don't completely trust Roman, but I trust him more than Reza..)

Yes. And honestly, I think Reza is being possessed by the Undreaming. And any relationship with that would just lead to some type of tentacle porn. And I say "NO" to tentacle porn.

Roman is a total charm. Also, there is sth saucy about falling in love with your therapist (although this never ends well in the movies)...

 

Hey, did you notice the resemblance of Dr Roman with a younger Ragnar??? Uncanny.
 

[RoyMartin]

I kind of feel bad for "bad" Reza. If is IS bad Reza, it isn't him at all. And that means something bad happened to GOOD Reza (Am I making any sense?)

 

At least I hope he can be healed, and that bad Reza isn't just a shell or something. It would feel better if he "woke up" rather than had to be killed/destroyed.

 

But Peats' words from Dreamfall was quite ominous. Not that he was to be trusted, though. Ahhhh, Reza, who are you?!

[somnolentsurfer]

He was trying to lull her into a false sense of security by showing that he shared her concerns.

Can you say 'unprofessional'?

YES! But I'm glad I wasn't the first one to say it.

I'm not sure Zoë should be with him even if he were good Reza. They broke up for a reason. She needs to move on.

Oh come on. Zoë, Reza is clearly not the man for you, girl.

In a frying pan?! Really?

I've always cooked it in a pan (as per every recipe I've ever seen). The rice grows so much during cooking, with all the stock you pour into it, that I can't even imagine how it would fit in a frying pan! And it's not meant to fry...

 

Oh well. Reza should end up with YOU, khh, not Zoë!

Pretty sure it's meant to be cooked in a frying pan. Ex-chef husband says frying pan. Google search shows it in a frying pan. Frying pan it is!

I totally missed the option to flirt with the shrink. I think I may have been a little too pre-occupied with picking the "right" conversation choices, knowing that anything I said in the game could have consequences later on in other parts. I'm definitely going to try it on my next play through.

 

Oh, and count me as someone who also cooks risotto in a frying pan, albeit a deep frying pan, not some shallow-sided crepe pan or anything. That said, I have been known to also cook it in a wok, and that works pretty well too.

It's not dependant on the choices you make speaking with him during the initial conversation. But you can speak with him again before leaving his office.
