We don’t even know the consequences of these actions (whether this is a final decision for one of his relationships), so jumping to conclusions over a flag being set behind them scenes is pointless. Losing 2 RP against either girls is the only known impact and that’s not much in the grand scheme.
the picnic doesn't matter to Jill
They will kill you, in this forum it is forbidden to mess with Quinn, Sage, Bella, KRJ and Riona. You are fucked friend, next time try to criticize Jill, Maya or Josy that with those you have a free hand
I admit, that's a more likely outcome than the scene I had in mind
Um... this side girl, she seems to be behaving a lot like... (dare I say it?)
No, you'll become Bella's Ice King that way. You won't cure her.
You make it sound like Quinn is good at handling the expected. The only reason she needed to try the unexpected was because her normal business was already falling apart.
Not to speak for others, but I find losing Jill points quite in character; even if she understands why the MC is doing it, she can still be disappointed. It's not like RPs do much, either, so I don't think Jill losing a couple is much of a worry.
And now we wait...
As much as I would like for him to say to Jill, "Yeah, I'd love to come with you. Just give me 30 minutes, I've got to check up on a sick friend first", it just really needs a better resonse from the MC if he turns down Jill. Why he doesn't tell her the reason he can't go is baffling regardless of what affinity the MC has because you'd think he would and if he did then maybe it wouldn't seem like you're making a terrible mistake by how Jill reacts to it.
Because he doesn't tell her his reasoning, she just thinks he's blowing her off and she reacts badly to that. If she knew the real reason then she probably wouldn't have that reaction, but it's once again DPC forcing you to not just make hard decisions, but having the MC act like an unthinking idiot despite the fact that this seems to go against his character to be like that.
Again, this is where I feel like the game can be quite disjointed at times. Characters, especially the MC, can be quite contradictory to the overall personality and characterisation that has been presented and all for the sake of forcing separate paths. I know some people like to use the "real life" argument to explain these inconsistencies or why the MC can't get every girl, but people in real life rarely act as contradictory as characters in this game do and can sometimes ruin the experience when you get so frustrated at things that go in a way that seems wrong based on what you've seen happen so far in the game.
Quinn at one point accuses Riona of smoking too much free merchandise, now either that's a joke, but it doesn't seem like it, or Riona smokes as much as all sports bettors together, or Quinn's business produces the earnings of a homemade lemonade stand. ...
RPs only matter for getting complete sex scenes , same goes with some of the flags
yeah aha, your whole argument is based on its goes against "chick personality" . well guess what , what if my MC has Dik personality? .
)
Quinn and MC jointly ruling over an Empire of Evil with a Scarface-esque climax is an alternate ending I can get behind.
Quinn said that to Tommy to explain why she ditched him at the Hell Week party. It's a near certainty she was lying.
In this I am with you 100%yeah aha, your whole argument is based on its goes against "chick personality" . well guess what , what if my MC has Dik personality? .
this is not chick vs Dik decision, it's not a "personality decision". it's a simple "Fuck you , don't think so" moment for those who are chasing both Jill and Sage romantically. . ( like ME
and shazba, post about Sage's text messages, is the proof. based on what type of relationship you are in with her, she will react slightly differently. She obviously more meaner if you are in an intimate relationship with her and you blow her off. This is a a crossroad. maybe not major , but may be important in the future.
what this tells me, is that regardless of you dik or chick "personality", You Can't Have Jill and Sage at both time. You can't pursue it them in the same time, in a same playthrough. they are in an oposite scale.
proof of that, the MC will have the same emotional conversation about his mother's death, with both of them.
so yeah, you can see this as a Punishment for try to get both girl, but you cant see this as a bad writing just because you on't like it, and in the order of the event, won't change this. It does not matter, your "fix " with Jill show up first, and Sage call you after. because it's not about that. You can't have both, simple, and this was the Turning Point. we will encounter similar Turning points later, I'm sure of it. and yes, we might have Joint events of endings, with girls. Like May be Josy and Maya, or Sage and quinn, or other variations. but Jill and Sage are not in the same page.
