yes, poor trend, too commonplace.I never liked the AVN strategy of starting out with a girlfriend or LI.

not quite the same situationYep, that's one of the reasons I call Megan from AL, Discount Josy. An uglier version of Josy and DPC used his same idea of assuming I'd immediately be in love with a girl just because she's there. It took many more episodes and Josy coming to B&R before I put her on my yes list. However, the character Megan never worked for me.
I never liked the AVN strategy of starting out with a girlfriend or LI. The writer is assuming I'll be in love with her from the beginning. But what if I'm not? That pretty much blows the entire narrative out of the water (especially in AL). Thankfully, I warmed up to Josy later, but that's a risk DPC seems to like taking in his stories.

One of the most important choices an AVN can give a player is the choice of which LI(s) to romance (or not). In almost every game I play that starts me out with a girlfriend, I immediately look for ways to dump her or cheat on her. I'd rather be the master of my own romantic destiny thank you. A big reason AL didn't affect me emotionally is I didn't give a damn about Megan and was quite happy to leave her at the BBQ.Yeah it's like a game I played last week (A Mother's Love) where you start off with an LI (Chloe) who I couldn't personally stand and couldn't wait to drop her like a potato sack and just focus on Nicole (her mother.)
Girlfriend/LI/Ex, no matter. The point is DPC assumes I am already in love with Josy at the start of the game when in fact I, the player, am not.not quite the same situation
Josy more than being MC's girlfriend, the chosen one, is in fact his ex right away.
They basically just say goodbye to each other at every opportunity (goodbye, I'm going to college, goodbye, I'm not going to college, goodbye, you're a liar, goodbye, Maya is scared).
Quinn practically runs the HOTs, Sage even acknowledges this when you stay with her in Ep 4, so since Quinn proposed this plan, Sage likely wouldn't have said 'no' since she's pretty much abdicated all responsibility to Quinn. The only uncertainty was whether Tybalt would accept whatever Quinn came up with for Sage to offer him, and he did, and the fact that he did meant that the HOTs went to the Prep party instead of the DIKs, which led to the DIK mansion getting trashed and led to Jill getting blackmailed by Tybalt because the MC crashed the party. These are both significant things that affect the MC and were both caused because Quinn exists in this story.Quinn might presented the idea but it was Sage who decided to go along with it. If Sage said no, we're going to DIK's there is nothing Quinn could do. And she choose to go along with that plan because it was better offer financially (and yes, it was a better offer) compared to what DIK's offered. Problem is that Sage didn't realized that Quinn planned to steal the money they got from AnO to attend their party so she could use it for herself.
The only thing Quinn did that caused the mess is not letting Rusty and Tommy know they won't be showing up... which is something she was supposed to do and something Sage (and pretty much every other HOT) believed Quinn did and were all surprised when MC let them know that she didn't do it. Well, that and Tommy being Tommy.
As for everything else... there is a whole lot of future tense you use to describe Quinn's importance to the story. Thing that will maybe happen at some point in the future. But in the present... she is almost completely irrelevant outside of Maya's storyline. She could just as easily be a shadow character that we haven't seen yet.
I know what you mean. This is probably the modern AVN trend that i really dislike, because you feel like you're trapped if you don't like the "girlfriend" character. It's really bad when you don't even have the possibility of ditching her, like some Harem games, since in most you can't end thing with girls, but just add more to the "party".Yep, that's one of the reasons I call Megan from AL, Discount Josy.

thank you ExDeath730I know what you mean. This is probably the modern AVN trend that i really dislike, because you feel like you're trapped if you don't like the "girlfriend" character.

But Josy i see more like a subversion of this trope. Yes, the MC starts interested in her, but in their first date things go poorly and the dude has his heart broken right there, in the game intro. For me, the "main girl" in this game is Maya, mostly because the introduction to B&R is with her, and she is the LI with most screen time at the first chapters of the game. Josy kind of goes away after the intro, and besides the dinner, she rejoins the plot just in chapter 4. The girlfriend character for me is like the cross you carry for most of the games they're in.
Just say drug peddling. She's a small time school dealer not a major drug lord lol.the drug trade...
Yeah she's hustling sugar pillsJust say drug peddling. She's a small time school dealer not a major drug lord lol.
All fun and games till she starts pressuring KRJ to buy sugar pills.Yeah she's hustling sugar pills
Don't you dareAll fun and games till she starts pressuring KRJ to buy sugar pills.
yep exactly. i rolled back my decision on the fake id and night with envy / sandy scene solely because the scene makes MC cum inside one of them which I found absurd. I've been in situations like that IRL - if you're not wearing a condom then AT MINIMUM you grab the girl's hips and lift her straight up into the air right before your cannon goes off, you don't just "hope for the best",don't warn us about pregnancy and then prevent us from wearing a condom.
"Future pregnancy" especially when one of those girls already has a kidyep exactly. i rolled back my decision on the fake id and night with envy / sandy scene solely because the scene makes MC cum inside one of them which I found absurd.

That scene's got "future pregnancy" written all over it.
Soon to be two in my game..."Future pregnancy" especially when one of those girls already has a kid
Quinn is the worst fictional criminal in history.Just say drug peddling. She's a small time school dealer not a major drug lord lol.
Well I'm nutting in everything regardless. F95 - all of the fun, none of the responsibilities. I'm sure DPC wouldn't include that much of a time skip where we would have to worry about raising a kid.yep exactly. i rolled back my decision on the fake id and night with envy / sandy scene solely because the scene makes MC cum inside one of them which I found absurd.

anytime i have sex with a girl, IRL, or in a game like this, i ask myself am i okay getting her pregnant - if the answer is no, then i always pull and in a game like this if it doesn't give me the option to control where i cum then i will roll back and opt out of that situation every time.
I liked that scene with Quinn where she asks the MC to cum against her pussy and then MC does the same thing again with LilyMy MC doesn't care at all, he would have always cum inside of pussy if given opportunity to do soHe is very excited to name his childs with Lynette's family name or Neil's family name.
