haha look at this loser thinking of his investment return and not just giving Quinn money because she got nice pussy

I'm just looking at the big picture.

Even if I bought into the "don't enable Maya's dependency" argument, she'd still be a better investment than Quinn: I'll make the same money ($0) without getting beaten up by criminals, Maya has a better pussy AND there's a two-for-one sale going. Simple economics. :p

Indeed, meanwhile you have the college librarian dressing like a stripper on school girl theme night. I'm not complaining that much mind you, but I just think it's funny how she often shows more skin than the 18-yr old students. Even Lily, an actual stripper, is probably like holy shit Bella :oops:

She was dressed that way because that’s what the donors chose. Personally, I went with Curtain #2.

Honestly, Nothing would change for me even if that happens. I have devotional love for her. I don't care about the holes but I care only for the LOVE and PERSONALITY.

lol absolutely. And am I the only one that was a little surprised at the bikini Jill is wearing in that early on Rooster photo - looks pretty showy with a string side tie bottom, not exactly conservative - come on Jill, put the goods on display a little bit for daddy. :)

Sir, I would give you a like even if you said nothing other than this gem of a statement. When I finally creampie Jill, it shall be in thy name. (y)
I'll swab off on her 5K curtains, zip up, then say, "that was for Razrback16," and stride out the door like a boss. With the parting shot, "don't bother calling me in 9 months, I already know there's a bun in the oven and that it's a boy. Name it...Wang the Mighty. Peace out."

The Quinn that rejected the mc's help? She's only gonna take his money through the restaurant.

But the Quinn that wants the mc to sit with her for lunch ...

She's gonna start leaning on the MC, maybe even bring him into the "family business". That'd be a turn of events, the mc starts investing, as a partner, into the Quinn's Sex and Drugs empire. Not likely, but it'd be an interesting dark path.

if that money goes to Quinn it would never be an investment, but an extreme rescue.

if Quinn accepts her help in the sixth chapter, MC already offers to help her financially even though she has no idea of the real situation.

if she knew she was risking her life I doubt MC would back down

We don't even know what $5000 equates to in the game. The initial economy of "$", "$$", "$$$" etc. for various small purchases has no relation to it, and the money earned and spent in the mansion mini game is not in line with US expenses ($65 to replace all the windows in the mansion for example, or $1 to clean someone's windows).

Just to arbitrarily scale them, maybe we're talking real life $50 to clean someone's windows (3 hours work perhaps), therefore the replacement of all the mansion's windows would scale to $3200 (that's probably still too low but good enough for argument's sake). If the mc's $5,000 is of the same economy, then it's equivalent to roughly $250,000, which would make sense as a trust fund amount from a very wealthy relative (5K, in real life dollars, was a kick in the balls really).

But then when the MC get's the check, the dad says 5K is not much. That sounds like it's 5K by our standards, not by the mansion minigame standards. So basically, it's not enough money for anything...

The MC will probably just blow it on sex... :sneaky:

another economic reference is the exchange between Rick and Quinn

Quinn charges $ 1000 for 10 grams of an unspecified drug.

so I would say that with $ 5,000 you don't become the new Escobar

I'm pretty sure she overpriced it. She was trying to sell drugs to a rich kid who was nervous the whole time.

Once again it all comes down to the path that you the player has chosen for the MC.

It makes no sense to me that the MC would give his Mother's inheritance to Maya or Quinn. If Maya doesn't solve her own problems this time I'm convinced that it's not going to be the only time in her life that she will need someone to bail her out. Bail out Quinn? I don't see the sense in that either. Quinn's problems are of her own making. If the MC bails her out this time, who will bail her out the next time?

As far as giving the money to the DIK's, isn't that just the opposite of what MC said in his speech at the end of ep 5? The DIK's are learning to take care of their own home and to earn their own money.

And I don't see what relevance 'game implementation' has either. That's just gaming the game. Personally, I make my decisions in the game based on what I would do if I was in the MC's shoes. If you choose a different way of playing that's up to you, but I think I'll make my own choices.

I agree a lot comes down to how you have chosen to play your MC. I actually agree that giving the money to the DIK's would undercut his whole speech, I forgot about that speech. As for Quinn, I agree that helping her would be a short term solution to a larger problem she has, also, I personally wouldn't give her the money, because I don't like her (controversial opinion?). Much rather spend it on Lily and Nicole :p, Jill of course can spend her money on me ;).

Regarding Maya though, I don't agree fully. I think you are right that it is important for people to solve their own problems, and this is something Maya needs to do ultimately. BUT attempting to do so before a person is ready can hurt them so much worse, and instead of solving the problem leave them spiraling further downward. From the Maya I have seen in the game, I am not sure she has yet developed the inner strength to be able to stand on her own feet. Given the personality of both her and Derek, I think it is fair to say their father did a bang up job...

To me if you are playing CHICK MC, you are much more likely to be aware of this and act in order to protect her from that danger, given MC's personality. DIK MC well he might, or might not imo.

As for game implementation, it is relevant insofar as to what a developer would probably put in their game. Much more likely scenarios are ones that move the story forward, and less likely scenarios are ones that add 'fluff' in order to add 'choice'. i.e. when Chekov shows a gun, it is more probable someone will get shot, than the gun being handed into the police station for possession without a license, or thrown into the dumpster and forgotten. Sometimes that makes me happy, and sometimes it makes me upset, because I would like the option too, but them's the breaks.

All that being said, my personal preference would be spending the money on my dad's home, because that to me seems to be one of the main motivations of the MC, and I could get behind that feeling.

Edit: Out of curiosity - would you find it preferable that Quinn robs you of your inheritance (a likely scenario), and removes the choice from your MC, instead of being stuck with choices you don't like?

yes
Quinn initially asks Rick for $ 2,500, Rick refuses when they reach a compromise of $ 1,000

however, we are talking about a small amount that Rick could pay on the fly, even considering the fact that he is rich, leads to think that the $ 5,000 inheritance is a completely contained figure
