Help finishing Katherine's story

[fidster5000]

I gave the rum to Katherine and she told me I am 75% on my way to getting in her pants. I asked her how do I ensure a 100% chance and she told me I should flash every person at the party. I have done this. Flashed everyone including Katherine (and she tells me she's glad I remembered to include her). Problem is when I go back to talk to her all I get as an option is "Always a pleasure Katherine". I don't get the option to tell her that I flashed everyone so that we can take the next step and go somewhere private. I have tried everything I can think of to trigger that. What am I missing? .. And yes I am absolutely positive I have not missed anyone to flash.

Did you sleep with/get intimate with any other characters prior to doing what you described? Any other weird instances of dialogue?

I've done Rachel and Stephanie so far, and now that I think of it I do remember a strange thing with Katherine's dialog. I had talked to her at the beginning and I believe I made her mad at me. Don't recall exactly what conversation choices I had made. Then I went and worked on other characters. Came back to Katherine and I think she must have already asked me to flash everyone because she said something like "oh I forgot I asked you to do that" and that got me back on her good side. That's what enabled me to start the quest with getting the rum for Katherine from Frank and taking the photos.

Are you running version 0.7.7? There was a bug we had where if you already slept with Rachael she would not give you the 'right' kind of flash response (if you slept with her she responds positively; she needs to respond as if she is upset), but I believe this was fixed as it shows confirmed as fixed in our system. Try using the pickup line on Rachael about 'her sign' that she doesn't like and then flashing her and talking to Katherine again.

I am running 0.7.7. Yes Rachel had been giving me a positive "glad you decided to join the party" line when I flashed her. So I tried using that pickup line on her and now she is giving me the negative "why is this happening to me" response. But Katherine still doesn't give me any option besides "always a pleaasure" when I speak to her after flashing everyone.

I "added" Vickie to the party earlier using the console command and started her story. I wonder if having her there is somehow messing up the counts of people flashed. I have tried flashing everyone except her with, and also flashing everyone including her. Makes no difference. Vickie's response to my flash is positive. Could this be the problem?

The console command could be; the console can really mess with the game if you aren't careful. If Rachael responded negatively then you should have been good to go, barring the Vickie thing.

OK now that I better understand how to do things I may start the game over or go back to a save before I added Vickie. But is there a way to get Vickie to the party if I choose the Rachel path on the spoof texts?

No, not yet. Another thing for the future we have to keep in mind when we consider plot holes and 'issues of freedom/consequences' to address and such.
