You have to not teach her to play guitar if you want to avoid that route completely. Then the game gives you a second chance to get on her route in ep 7. You just have to straight up reject her then.
Which is another reason why I think Sage is the main girl because so far her route is the only one that does that ... I think. It's been a while.

It's kinda the same with Bella.

I had a playthrough where I tried not to initiate anything with her and just be friendly towards her. Then it will seem like she is coming on to you which is funny because ususally it feels like you are chasing her. And if you then allow her - as a friend - to help clean up the library in the DIK-house, it will lead to unavoidable sex.

No need to go to "dark places" with your thoughts here...

DPC once made it VERY clear that this game will not get that dark like AL. And nothing so far gave it away that is gonna change...

Overall the "darkest" things happened, i think, will maybe that someone will be put in jail, and things like happened with Mona... thats about it. Yeah the game is about drama, but not really that dark drama.

About the throuple, to say that MC and Josy will "ditch" Maya is the wrong phrasing i think... To me it seems, that everything will lead to a temporary breakup between Josy and Maya regardless what MC is doing. Its all about college life and if it will not work out, they cant be happy together for a time being... like we already saw. After the scavanger hunt Josy decided to stay at the HOTs and maya was left behind. That was CLEAR break for a short while... they managed to overcome that a little. But i think the Burke-thing will blow up, no help for Maya here. And after that she will of course not join the HOTs and that will lead to a breakup between Josy and Maya again, this time "more official" though i think... And one of the two will fall behind cause the MC has to choose... or if you are not on their path they will stay alone. Iam pretty sure that is the way it goes early on in season 3, maybe right at the start of the next episode... everything is heading that way. Even the "bad feelings" from Josy before that very scene.

But i DONT think this will be permanent. During season 3 they will work on their relationship and at the end of season 3 i think there will be multiple outcomes... Soloroutes between MC and one of the girls, a working throuple, or if the MC is not involved a permanent breakup between Josy and Maya or they will be couple...

But i do think they will have another breakup coming before that. Just the whole J&M thing is build up like it will break again for a time being. And after that "break" everyone needs to figure out a way to go from there... but i dont think that will lead to "dark" places.

I know everyone has AL back in their minds... but again, being a dik is nothing like that, and DPC made it very clear that it will not go places like that... And i think it would change the tone of the game way too much... AL was never this "funny" "easy going" like being a dik... yeah of course there are some serious tones around being a dik too, but AL always had a much more serious vibe overall.

I am not so sure about that so that it will come to an official separation of Josy and Maya. Josy and Maya are different in that Josy doesn't like sneaking around, but Maya likes sneaking around. If there is no solution to Maya's tuition problem with the Burkes, the three will find another solution. The MC himself says this to Maya in EP88 before the meeting.

EP8 and Interlude was very revealing in that regard. Josy tells the MC something about this beard arrangement and Jonah explains to Zoey so he flies under the gay radar with people. Josy and the MC have already officially shown themselves as a couple in EP8 when they go to the gym hand in hand. This is exactly what Josy wants, to be able to show her love openly and not have to sneak around. Now when Maya makes a beard agreement with Jonah, she can do exactly what she loves to do. Sneaking around. She then sneaks around to Josy and the MC. Patrick will not be happy for Maya to have a boyfriend like Jonah, but Maya will get her tuition.

A solo path without a relationship with the girl you choose...what would be even the point of that ?
The whole ''problem'' is that the girls are in love with the MC and if the throuple doesn't work out, that one of them would need to choose, they aren't looking for a fuckbudy.

Also i can't see how one of them would be fine with the other fucking the MC on the side after they excluded the him.

In EP4 and EP5 it is written so that the MC and the girls should follow their hearts. Surprisingly, there are some hearts in the game. In EP5 the MC can paint a heart on Josy shoulder and in EP8 the MC can end Maya a text with heart. But the MC can also leave both. If he now only puts a heart on one girl, the MC has chosen Josy or Maya in the matter of love. That's why Josy and Maya don't stop loving each other. Josy was afraid in EP4 so Maya could turn away from her and Maya assured Josy so that won't happen. Thus, the MC enters into a relationship with Josy or Maya, but tolerates so that the Josy and Maya are still together. Thus the MC has his LI, only for this LI to have another relationship.

Well, I hope so, and would like to see more "American Pie"-ish style college comedy than another dark drama. But some episodes, like MC's monologue about doors or his thoughs about Bella in the library, make me doubt that everything will coming up roses.

of course, make a mod yourself, cause nobody did so far... but dont ask how. there are tons of mods for other games which add music or changed them... so, yeah its possible. But for this game? Nobody did cause the music is overall great, and if you dont like it, turn it off... but really? without the music in some scenes the game wouldnt be that great, but sometimes, especially in the free roams, i dont like it either... but there you can change the music ingame via the player on the phone to songs you like... to me, the music is opverall perfect and a big fucking plus for the game. Even after DPC changed some songs cause of copyright shit.

thank you, i will try that. i just want to add some songs :)

well as said... the game has drama, and yeah some "bad" things happen... but there is a difference between burning your girlfriend alive and make you choose to let one die and rescue the other and the "bad things" like there is in being a dik.

Of course we will get more drama and maybe really sad things along the road too... but AL was next level dark shit at the end, it will not get THAT dark.

So now I redid the attempt to go only after Nicole. And sadly that is not as good as the one I fucked up yesterday. When you have no main LI to chose MC thinks of nobody after talking to Elena. He just states that he doesn't want a relationship and waggles to the kitchen. Kinda disappointing.

Yeah, the logic (i think) of the scene is that MC has to choose between the main LIs. If there is no main LI to choose, i.e MC isn't in any main LI path, there is no choice and he simply decide keeping fucking around.

I've never gone solo nicole as she isn't an LI but I thought her solo path was enough to trigger the "others" option
apparently you have to fuck some other hoes for it too :unsure:

The interlude is mostly backstory for a girl its actually a very good story and well done, a lot of people bitch like a little girl about it because think it delays EP9

Is this a real HUGE reason? Because I managed to read that some people hate Interlude because of the abundant dull drama... but what about the others?
