That would be kinda boring.
Whilst that kinda shit is great in real life (catching up with old friends that have moved on in life can be a great fun, laughing about old time and all that), in this game, where we (the player) have not yet established an affinity with Zoey, the interest in bringing her back is not the past, but the future i.e. I don't care that the mc fucked her when he was a kid, we want to fuck her now.
I agree completely. Her coming back to the game can bring some complications, but they have to be fun complications. Her coming back with a boyfriend is not a fun complication, it's a meaningless addition to the game.
Example of fun complications:
The complication: Jade having a domestic with her husband, yelling at each other through a locked door.
The fun: The mc was fucking her doggy style the whole time.
The complication: The mc hiding under a table trying no to be found by Tybalt.
The fun: He was balls deep in Cammy's ass.
The complication: The mc couldn't find Quinn or Sage at the prep party.
The fun: Mel and Sarah were polishing his cock while Heather watched on, diddling herself.
The complication: The mc had to play tennis with Tybalt to interrupt his date with Jill.
The fun: Tybalt's face and balls were destroyed by the end.
The complication: Maya is a lesbian.
The fun: She's a lesbian that likes the mc's cock.
The complication: Jill is a virgin.
The fun: Not anymore.
Now compare this to the idea of Zoey coming to visit with her boyfriend.
The complication: Zoey returns with a boyfriend.
The fun: Going back and playing the first 8 episode again...
Like others are saying. It's not about being jealous, it's about her having nothing to add to the story if she's with anther guy. She was a significant person in the mc's life. Her showing up with another guy just seems so boring...
All of the other characters' stories mattered at the time. But like all problems, once they are resolved, they don't matter anymore. But not all problems were equal:
- Chad was an issue until he wasn't.
- Tybalt was only ever just a speed bump.
- Bella's story hasn't unfolded yet, I still think we're in for something unsettling with her.
The fact that they were mostly resolved without too much misery is a good thing. We don't need the issues to be so great that they scar the characters for life, at least not yet. We're still supposed to be enjoying the story.
But at the same time, if Zoey turns up and she's just got more problems for the mc to solve, that will be annoying. Her advantage will be there's gonna be an hour dedicated to her story, so by the end of it we may feel more inclined to accept her.
There's something you keep forgetting. He prefers doing it the current way.
There is no reason why he should choose to do it differently if he's already happy with how he's doing it.
Your desire for him to churn his game out more quickly is blinding you to the fact that there is no benefit to him doing what you want.
Can you tell me one benefit for DPC?
