I agree with mostly everything, but I don't think he made a mistake here. The MC doesn't have enough information to link Burke to Quinn and the restaurant. As far as he knows Quinn is pimping other girls to other students like him.Its a big Problem with the game as a whole, that we cant be sure what the MC is seeing and what not... there are a ton of big scenes in the game where the mc is not even near it, and some scenes are in his reach but we cant be sure what he really saw...
I thaught about the mona/Burke thing a while... it can be the case that he just only saw burke leaving a room, but no... i think he saw the whole scene, otherwise his "thaught" about it "what was that about?" wouldnt make any sense... nobody is thinking that if a guy leaves a room on his own... of course the MC did saw mona leaving the room and cammy chasing here and than burke leaving this room too.
Yet... this scene bothers me a lot. At this state of the game... MC knows about the things camilla does, the restaurant of quinn (no matter if you are a chick or dik, those things happend regardless), that burke is not a very nice guy too, that Jade is not afraid to flirt with students (well to call it flirt what she does to the mc at the start is even a little stretched so to speak...) A little later on Mona left college, and the MC didnt even thaught back to this scene and everything going on at the HOTs... that bothers me a lot.
Its not the only time in this game the MC acts way to clueless about everything he had witnessed so far.
But well... i think its not unfair to say that DPC is not the perfect author out there, regarding a AVN he is pretty good compared to most DEVs around here. Writing a book or a script for a movie? Well... DPC should stay away from it. For that the game already has way to many plotholes you have to "oversee" so it can stil work out.
This very scene and how the MC acts later on about mona (or to say not acting at all, like he dont know anything) is one of many so called plotholes in the game we have to deal with and DPC cant do anything about it anymore... (well of course he could delete this scene for examplem but would that be a good way to go about it?)
Its not THAT important though i think. Cause even if the MC would connect all the dots... he couldnt do anything about it anyways alone... he at least needs some proof or other witnesses and overall the MC is still very passive "doing things". A thing that bothers me a lot about him... he is way to passive in every regard, well besides fucking.
The whole plot about Burke, the HOTs, the prostituion is stil to come... its lingering around like a dark cloud over everything. And overall its the "main-plot" of the college. But at this point its still way to early to get this thing REALLY started. I would say even at the end of season 3 it would be still to early to get this rolling... To solve this and bring Burke and everything down, will be a thing for the end of the game. So for the last season overall. MAYBE not even in an active role, maybe the MC will be just a bystander overall...
But as i can see it, DPC is aware that he made a little mistake here. that MC saw this thing and doesnt have a little thaught about Mona later on, even when she left college just like that.
DPC was a little more cautious after episode 5 what he made the MC see and what not. regarding the drugs and prostitution, the MC doesnt see many things anymore (the last time was at the big HOTs party i think, where quinn was dealing a little bit... but well, nothing really to bother about)... especially nothing that he bothers about. The little drug use and dealing by quinn? *shrug* be real... anybody of you went to college and DIDNT know that somebody dealt with some things and others use them? And did you guys bother? No of course not. Its a normal thing that some young people do this shit at college... and its not even a big deal around this game as i see it (if it wasnt for burke)
some students are dealing and consuming a little bit of drugs... well... in my schooldays (and iam talking about the age of 14-16 not college age) many fellow students were smoking some weed (even during schoolbreaks right before lessons), and iam pretty sure some even tried harder things too, didnt witnessed that though, only the weed (and that had to come from somewhere? So somebody at school was dealing with it of course). Some teachers looked just in the other direction i think. One girl i knew, at the age of 16 she offered blowjobs for some money. I bet on every school there was a bratty-girl doing that and enough stupid guys using that. (most of these girls you can now see at chaturbate maybe , no need for blowjobs at schools anymore with the internet) On college? Drugs and a little "money for sex business" is maybe even a pretty common thing... we are talking about people that are 18-23 years old. I mean, just look into the papers... news like that are around at daily basis.
What makes this a big deal is the involvement of burke though... handling out tuition for sex, and if youre not down with it youre off the college (like mona). And i would bet he gets a cut out of the drug deals too...
But we have to be aware of the fact, that quinn is NOT dealing in a really big way here. These are small deals, heck... she dealt ONE eightball for richard... other than that some pills and weed mostly... and a little speed for private use and some others. Not exactly a Pablo Escobar here. For the police that wouldnt be very high in priority... certainly nothing to start a proper investigation over (with undercover cop and following students... way to expensive to start a investigation like that over the small dealings from quinn). But if it would comes out that Burke has his hands in it too... we are talking about a whole other thing. We ahve to wait and see.
I had missed the MC reacting verbally to the scene in the last screenshot. Yeah, he does see it. DPC does this kind of scenes a lot, where something happens in the middle of something else and it doesn't mean the MC is there too see it. That Mona scene could be one of those except for the last line which awknowledges the MC is there to see it. Tybalt and Jade's is another example of that and I don't think the MC was there listening to their conversation.This is a mistake I'll likely regret, but I'm tired and my judgement is impaired.
Your response was as follows:
View attachment 2198824
Whether you intended to or not, you were commenting on the scene of Stephen coming out of the same room as Mona, which the MC indisputably sees. If your intention was to comment on the discussion between Jade and Tybalt, then you fucked up your post.
Afterwards, Mc expressly says that he saw Mona and Burke.I agree with mostly everything, but I don't think he made a mistake here. The MC doesn't have enough information to link Burke to Quinn and the restaurant. As far as he knows Quinn is pimping other girls to other students like him.

Yeah, but besides him seeing their expressions and the room they came from, there's nothing there for him to see, nothing to make any conclusions beyond Mona not being happy and Burke having a straight face....Afterwards, Mc expressly says that he saw Mona and Burke.
The persistent file is a global save, it saves your settings, unlockable status by progress or trigger activation and, if included, your achievements.How do I edit/read the Persistent file? I do not want to make changes in it inside of the console. I want to crack open the Persistent file & see what is inside of it.
Also is that where the majority of the variables/labels for specific saves get saved? I didnt think they did. But lookin through the save files onYou must be registered to see the linksit doesnt have a lot of the label names in the code for choices. It does however have a crap ton of the Bios entries. Is the game trackin your choices by the saved Bios states?
It's not an immediate deduction but not impossible either. That Mona could be a girl of Quinn, Camila being one, is an easy assumption. At that point that Mona doesn't run away because of a teaching issue becomes less impassable...Yeah, but besides him seeing their expressions and the room they came from, there's nothing there for him to see, nothing to make any conclusions beyond Mona not being happy and Burke having a straight face....
That info is nothing more then the fact he seen them there, it's useless for any links to the free tuition scam, Mona left and even if and when she does tell her story, it's still just seeing them together there....
After Mona left college, the MC didnt even think about any reason...I agree with mostly everything, but I don't think he made a mistake here. The MC doesn't have enough information to link Burke to Quinn and the restaurant. As far as he knows Quinn is pimping other girls to other students like him.
Yeah, I had missed it in my previous posts, but I awknowledge it in the one you're quoting.Afterwards, Mc expressly says that he saw Mona and Burke.
Speaking of Camila. Has she slept with Burke? She says she only wants to use gloryholes to keep anonimity, but if she wants that free tuition...It's not an immediate deduction but not impossible either. That Mona could be a girl of Quinn, Camila being one, is an easy assumption. At that point that Mona doesn't run away because of a teaching issue becomes less impassable...
There's way more evidence in Maya's scene with Mona and Queen for that and then all other small events happening...It's not an immediate deduction but not impossible either. That Mona could be a girl of Quinn, Camila being one, is an easy assumption. At that point that Mona doesn't run away because of a teaching issue becomes less impassable...
No, but Camila reveals to him that she has refused to deal directly with customers, precisely to avoid adults, and that is why she limits herself to the gloryhole.Yeah, I had missed it in my previous posts, but I awknowledge it in the one you're quoting.
The other thing is I don't think the MC has enough information to link it all to Quinn and Burke.
Speaking of Camila. Has she slept with Burke? She says she only wants to use gloryholes to keep anonimity, but if she wants that free tuition...
Think Camilla says she doesn't get free tuition but only works for the restaurant...No, but Camila reveals to him that she has refused to deal directly with customers, precisely to avoid adults, and that is why she limits herself to the gloryhole.
But MC only knows that if he goes with Camila in the fifth chapter
I don't think the MC has any reasons (yet) to link the restaurant to Burke. It's just Mona and Burke comming out of a room. Suspicious for sure, but nothing to link it to the restaurant. Camila didn't come after Mona from the room, but from the bar, they weren't together. The MC only has this scene of Mona storming out of the mansion and that she quits like a week later (he doesn't know that she was forced to quit either), like a lot of people does. He doesn't have enough information to link it all yet. Maybe to be a bit suspicious, but you can't get any conclusions from that.After Mona left college, the MC didnt even think about any reason...
yet he knows that Mona was chasing "the free tuition" just like maya did, which is offered by Quinn, he knwos that too, maya told him. The MC knows exactly what this means, of course its the restaurant...
At episode 5 MC knows no matter what your choices are, that camilla and Rio are in the restaurant thing. Heck they even told him that.
So Mona storms out a room, complete meltdown, saying "i cant do this" followed by camilla than Burke... knowing that camillia is in the prostituion and Mona wants the free tuition which means that she needs to go into prostituion as well. Yet he cant connect the dots here??? really? this is rather surprising here, but ok... i could deal with it... UNTIL Mona was forced to leave the college. After all this what the MC knows and witnessed, there is really no explanation why the MC didnt even asked himself why Mona left, he simply doesnt bother with the fact that mona left at all after everything. Which is totally strange. He shrugs it off, nothing more.
I stick with it, this is a mistake by DPC... the MC should at least make a selfnote like: "hm, has this something to do with the restaurant and the free tuition? Ah i better keep my mouth shut" or something like that. But nothing... really nothing, that is totally strange... well it is what it is... but facing the end of episode 8, the whole thing gets even more important now. Cause now he is standing in the living room from the burkes, Sage is the daughter of Burkes... if he doesnt connect any dots or asking himself some questions here, he is more stupid than Dawe.
I've seen that scene, but she says she does gloryholes only to avoid being recognised, doesn't she? I don't think she mentions adults. It's the same reason why she doesn't want to do the public sex one to help him.No, but Camila reveals to him that she has refused to deal directly with customers, precisely to avoid adults, and that is why she limits herself to the gloryhole.
But MC only knows that if he goes with Camila in the fifth chapter
Literally have to move to the location in order to see the scene.Its a big Problem with the game as a whole, that we cant be sure what the MC is seeing and what not... there are a ton of big scenes in the game where the mc is not even near it, and some scenes are in his reach but we cant be sure what he really saw...
You can also be right about Jill, MC and piano. Personally, I just find it odd because I'm never that quick to judge people.Suffering from insomnia so I'll bite.Fuckface has already formed a first impression of Jill from those two meetings. I think the comment about whether it was really her was referring to her lack of confidence and vulnerability, traits we now associate totally with her, but she seemed extremely strong and confident in her first scenes.
Daz3D does not offer that much variation in male models. If short hair and thin makes someone Stephen like then most middle-aged men in games using Daz are Stephen like. I don't think the person in uniform looks significantly Stephen like, you could even say he looks Patrick like and be as correct.
Fuckface gets a common haircut that just so happens to be the same as another character, not sure how that links to an event 6 years previously.
Who actually asks for balloons on their birthday? My Dad just had his 65th birthday and there were balloons there, is he Fuckface in the future and transferred to real life?
We don't find out the name of the bully because he's totally irrelevant to the current story. If for example he was to turn up at B&R then obviously we'd find out his name. Tybalt doesn't think Fuckface is going to hit him because he knows about Fuckface's past, but because Fuckface walks towards him after he's been a cunt for the umpteenth time and he realises that he might have taken a step too far with someone who is obviously stronger than him
So you never put a dent in a car before you passed your driving test? I did, multiple times, I can still remember my childhood. And since when did a dent in a van translate to a crash serious enough to cause brain damage? A smash hard enough to cause brain damage would make the van a write-off not cause a little dent in a van that is still driven years later. Also Fuckface remembers denting the van so why would he remember an event that caused severe lack of memory of everything else?
It's not an immediate insight, but it's not that prohibitiveThere's way more evidence in Maya's scene with Mona and Queen for that and then all other small events happening...
Seeing Burke and Mona together is only worth it if it's to confirm Mona's story and with her gone there's little value to it.
Until Mona spills the beans it's just a useless fact, there's still the girls with knowledge of the free tuition deal, perhaps they don't want to tell but they can give info even if they want to keep their secrets...
I reviewed the dialogue, actually she doesn't talk about adults, only that for a handsome and equipped guy like MC she makes an exception, I was misrememberingI've seen that scene, but she says she does gloryholes only to avoid being recognised, doesn't she? I don't think she mentions adults. It's the same reason why she doesn't want to do the public sex one to help him.
MC can warn Maya about Quinn, he also can chose not to....MC warns (or at any rate can always warn) Maya of the danger posed by Quinn, to assume that Mona was in the same danger seems to me a fairly likely inference.
I said it too that he can, but if he can it means that he knows anyway, there is no MC, in any multiverse, who doesn't know that Quinn is dangerous and running girls to make moneyMC can warn Maya about Quinn, he also can chose not to....
The situation Maya is in with Mona and Quinn at the pool should be well enough Maya can figure out the danger Quinn presents.
Mona first confirms the free tuition, later in the story she denies it...
And Quinn's innuendo is clear enough, a girl needs to spread her legs and shut her mouth to get that free ticket.... MC's warning, if it even happens, is nothing compared to what Maya herself witnesses from Quinn....
First of all, the MC won't be able to know so that Riona works at the restaurant if the MC declines Quinn's offer. Then, he also can't know so that Sarah and Melanie are on the menu.After Mona left college, the MC didnt even think about any reason...
yet he knows that Mona was chasing "the free tuition" just like maya did, which is offered by Quinn, he knwos that too, maya told him. The MC knows exactly what this means, of course its the restaurant...
At episode 5 MC knows no matter what your choices are, that camilla and Rio are in the restaurant thing. Heck they even told him that.

Ah i better keep my mouth shut" or something like that. But nothing... really nothing, that is totally strange... well it is what it is... but facing the end of episode 8, the whole thing gets even more important now. Cause now he is standing in the living room from the burkes, Sage (president of the HOTs) is the daughter of Burkes... if he doesnt connect any dots or asking himself some questions here, he is more stupid than Dawe.
