Actually, I think it could have an effect, and mainly on Sage. It would be bad enough if she found out he was cheating with another girl, but to find out that she was his beard for all these years could crush her when she realises how much time and devotion she gave to their relationship but it was never going to be reciprocated. It would feed into this aspect of Sage likely not being ready for another proper relationship after how much this one hurt her and the MC may be stuck in the FWB zone until near the end of the game, frustrating those players who might want to see him move out of that zone and on to something else.what convinces me least about the theory that Chad is gay is that narratively it would be irrelevant.
this would create some drama around Chad, maybe it would also redeem him as a character (a blackmailed gay can't be bad), but it wouldn't have significant effects on MC, on the contrary it would also wipe out Sage's desire for revenge or to retry him, so it would solve a problem in MC.
does it make sense to insert a twist that solves problems and does not create them?
So far every LI, and even some side girls, have something major going on that makes them somewhat broken people and none of the relationships are all that easy, so something is likely to cause an issue with Sage and the MC, and the lingering shadow of Chad is likely to be that.
I honestly think that Sage and the MC won't be moving out of the FWB phase for a while. Even on the path where you aren't FWB, if there even is a way to start that up again, I can't see her wanting to jump straight back into another relationship, and if she does I'd be wary of trusting her motivations because he'd be a rebound relationship and starting off that way is not a good idea.Well, who cares about Chad now anyways, the only thing we should be thinking is the fact that the relationship with Sage is finally ready to advance further, and hopefully, deeper and with a better grade than 3 out of 5![]()

I don't recall any trap character in CoBD.I can't find that quote again but I think DPC said in a FAQ/QA he wasn't interested into writing, rendering and animating gay (male to male) stuff, I doubt the MC will be bi. Which is also sad, who don't love a romance with a cute trap, City of Broken Dreamers have a really nice implantation of a character like that. Hey, who knows, maybe we will have a Swyper quicky like that?
