Well thanks for the fast response I guess

Jokes aside, you're having issues due to using mods or a moded save.

My suggestion is download the newest version of the mod you used before.
It should fix your issue and allow you to resume.
Know that this is not a game bug, this is a mod issue because Episode 8 added branches that are "game breaking", but ofc, the mod community found it's way around it rather fast.

Man... all this Mayaposting, today this thread is such an echo chamber for me.
I see why DPC enjoys his echo chamber so much

So it's meme time!

 

[DanMotta]

I agree that Maya got a little better in Ep. 8-9 and not acting like a lady in trouble and a drama queen, she began to change for the better. I don't know what copium Maya took, but at the party she seemed normal in terms of the mental system.

I dont like to create theories. But from what I see. Her strength and changes rely on Josy's actions. Josy being there to support her. Someone like me who has been in that kind of relationship, I know this kind of relationship drains a person. And from what I see, DPC seems to have a lot of life experience. If josy really breaks up with her. I fear she'd even try suicide. She'd not succeed, but she'd try at least. I can't imagine Maya in the situation she is right now, not being with MC or Josy.

 

[Darx321]

By the way, I just finished episode 9 couple days ago and it left mixed feelings.

First of all, going through it with the main-girl-path didn't work for me after playing full DIK path and pretty much fucking every side girl. I mean Sage is great, no doubt about it, although I was a little bit disappointed to see Maya suddenly storms into her path. But overall in DIK playthrough Sage is not much different from "main" side-girls MC slept with. And besides, it would be simply inhumane to suddenly cut off all the side girls from the legendary MC's dick.

In addition, Zoey was just introduced into the game, so why rush to choose a girlfriend?

Other's branch! It is awesome!
A lot of fun with side girls. No worries about "cheater" points.
But most importantly, it looks like dreams come true.
"Main" side girls are becoming their own path.
More Qiunn and her storyline. And Lily! And Riona!

Main girls didn't jump into the frame in every scene, even Maya seems to have decided to leave me alone and only torture Josy.

I feel sorry for Josy, though. She has to endure that girl every day. Josy was willing to refuse to join HOTs for Maya's sake, and then after joining she continued to pay her dormitory fees for Maya to stay alone in this room. Not to mention Josy's relationships with MC himself! And still Maya keeps crying. Fuck, did she at least say thank you to Josy?
It feels like all she does is poison Josy's life with her problems. Beyond evil.

Although, the problem is elementarily to solve.
Maya and Josy join HOTs, negotiate with the girls to get in the same room. And... that's it!

The religious old man obviously won't break in(or even find out), and if he does, Quinn will strip him, call him pervert and drug him. After this he will never come back~

Whatever. Fuck Maya, I am on the Ohter's branch, she will not get me here.

Nevertheless, the plot has made little to no progress. The animations are cool and everything is very atmospheric, but honestly I would have rather enjoyed the story development than this visuals.

Also, the whole episode feels like one big free roam.
It's not that I don't like them, but there should at least be a balance between the plot and free roam.
Free roam for me is a nice addition to the story, not the other way around.

 

[KАRАMBA]

With an offer, one has the free choice without being subject to any personal pressure. Example: Do I buy this or that roll.

However, Maya is subject to personal pressure, which influences her decision and thus affects her free choice. Thus, Maya's predicament is exploited.

Stephen probably wanted to do the same thing in EP9, but couldn't do it without running the risk of his daughter Sage finding out, and thus probably Jade as well.

How can Quinn exploit Maya's predicament, if she doesn't know anything about it ? This is just an attempt to justify Maya. But this does not hold water.

 

[dalli_x]

This is a bad thing to do.
And pretty dangerous, hitting the neck with a stun gun.
But it fits Quinn's personality. A sort of bad joke and special treatment for MC to see if he is pussy or not

I think so the stun gun thing has a different meaning. The MC got into it with the strongest guy (Chad) in college on the first day of college. That definitely stood out. In EP1 Jacob told Rusty so that's the guy (MC) who messed with Chad in the cafeteria. Not even Tommy has done that since he's been in college. That's what Rusty says.

If someone does that, they are either stupid or else, the person knows so they can pass. Quinn is just playing it safe with the stun gun because if the latter is true, three girls couldn't tame a guy like that.

It's a different story with Maya.

The excuse that it was Quinn who made her do it. Haha! That's what Maya thinks too.
What else is Maya willing to do for a free tuition rumor? No responsibility. Pathetic.

Actually, I rather agree with you, her action is not particularly bad, considering that she didn't know about the stun gun. See, this is a problem. She wasn't thinking in that scene about what happens next, she wasn't thinking when she signed the contract with her father, she wasn't thinking about how HOTs get free tuition. Maya just doesn't think.

Maya is really naive in places. She trusted her father with the contract she signed. Maya herself says to the MC that a child should be able to trust his parents. This is also a reason why Maya has a hard time trusting other people.

Maya will not have trusted Quinn, but she believed so that the rumor was true. The rumor was the straw of hope that Maya clung to. In principle, Maya also admits this to Josy in EP8 and realizes herself that it was stupid of her.

 

[Blue Milk]

Even Josy wouldn't do most of things Quinn would tell them to, reason why when Josy appeared, most of the tasks where done by cheating.
They didn't really go through with most of things, because Josy found ways to fake it/cheat.
If people are taking advantage of you and you don't wake up and stand up for yourself, it is not always that you gonna find people to help you out.
You may even find help once or twice, but if they realize you don't do much for yourself, they won't keep doing things to help you either. And that is Maya's situation.
Riona found some help in MC and she is already opening her eyes and standing up for herself. We will see it in future episodes.

Maya also considered the possibility of cheating on some of the tasks, it's just that with Josy, that became easier to do because they worked together.

I think people really underestimate the position she was in and what people will do when really desperate. Maya was alone and determined to do this by herself, come hell or high water. Getting into the HOTs was the only shot she saw at potentially freeing herself from Patrick's influence. I bet if you reversed the roles and it was Josy who was all alone here, feeling a great amount of pressure and desperation too, she would have also done it.

People can debate, and bitch, and moan all they want about that first task, but later on, Maya becomes more willing to do things with the MC because she's developing feelings for him and so when we get to the task at the end of Ep 3, Maya isn't breaching any sort of "morals" or "principles" because she's willing to do this with a guy she likes and she also feels as though things are over for her and Josy.

Maya also did have her "wake up" moment in Ep 6, and she does do things for herself, that's pretty much what she did throughout S1. She also knew that the tuition/scholarship she may have gotten from Burke would require that she put in the work to earn it and she was more than prepared to do so.

But there used to be a lot more Maya fans, I even know some OGs who disappeared and stopped writing. For example, Heycock and several other users have not been seen for a long time. Who were ready to protect Maya from attacks.

As someone who has stanned Maya for quite some time, I can understand why people just stop engaging with Maya hate/memeing/trolling because it's exhausting. Not because of the constant defense of her, but because it's the same old tired bullshit all the time from these people. Maya is like a wounded puppy that people are throwing shit at, and it's tiresome having to deal with people who so often show a complete lack of understanding, compassion, and empathy for her character. It's enough to completely destroy any shred of faith you might have in humanity to see people who seemingly have none.

 

[KАRАMBA]

Oh, come on, three girls couldn't tame any guy, even Derek.

 

[The Glorious LIME]

In addition, Zoey was just introduced into the game, so why rush to choose a girlfriend?

The way I see it: Zoey was delayed by DPC for added drama.
Just as you pick a GF, here comes a girl that not only towers above some LI's(let alone Maya), but most of the male characters too. Since lets face it, most of the boys are pussies. Even Vinny, pulls a gun the moment he's threatened.

Also, I remember you. Loved your review

 

[dalli_x]

I'll just say, seeing Maya develop this support network is, for me, one of the best things in this game. She's forming bonds with people who are kind, caring, compassionate, and who value her and care for her, something which she has probably been lacking all, if not most of, her life, and she will be so much better off for it in the long run to have all these people around her.

Maya's development overall is, for me, a highlight of this game, particularly in the last 2 episodes. She's really coming out of her shell and it's wonderful to see.

True words.

The Internet is a dark place full of horrors, compassion is a rare guest here. I spoke in her defense a little earlier, but now I'm losing interest in her, her plot drama has dragged on too long.

how i can make possible to work saves from season 1 and 2 on season 3? on me is not working that transfferin

This line made my day. Thanks.

Maya has been Selfish many times. She often victimizes herself. There are a lot of maya personality that I observe and I don't like than just the problems she deals with. And things that I also don't discuss anymore because it is pointless.

Some people will like girls like her and others won't. We are both in opposite sides of this matter.

And I know wounded puppies, I've had people in my life just like her, that you would spend a lot of energy trying to help, sometimes giving them a direction that you would be there to support, but they wouldn't take it and that would drain the life out of you. SO what you may call not having empathy, I call not wasting time with lost causes. But ofc, DPC can decide to rewrite her in a totally different way from now on and who knows if when that happens I won't make a new route and become her white knight.

Oh, I want it to end too, brother. I had such high hopes for Ep 9. But the thing is, despite this being an issue for Maya, DPC does a fabulous job of not really dwelling on it. Yes, it gets brought up a few times when required in the story, but he's given us so many wonderful, happy, sweet, warm, and sexy moments with both Maya and Josy that when playing, you kind of forget what's going on because you're just focusing on them. Or at least, that's how I feel.

There are so many happy memories being made for the 3 of them on the throuple route and I honestly think this relationship is giving Maya so much more strength and belief than if they're not in this relationship. I love these girls so much for their characters as well as their gorgeous bodies and I just connect so much with Maya on a personal level being someone who is also an introvert and has had personal problems in their life that seemed insurmountable.

I know that eventually these problems will resolve, but for now, I'm greatly enjoying the relationship with these 3 and all the happy moments they get to spend with each other just make the other issues melt away from my thoughts, allowing for that enjoyment to take hold.

 

[Jumbi]

Hi guys, can anyone please tell how i can end season 2 together with Jill after i did every step or way to be with her, i help'd her with musical and everythin else before and know when i most make a choice at DIK when i talk with Elena, on me appear only mod both, Sage or others, Jill name not appear, why? I most change affinity from DIK to neutral or? Help me pls, thanks

I see, nobody wanna help me.

Hello,

Besides what Impurity2937 told you here...

Probably you didn't go to picnic, instead you helped ill Sage right?

I recall reading that Jill's branch is off-limits to DIK MCs. So your best bet is playing a neutral or, even better, a chick MC with her. In my Jill playthrough I went for chick affinity all the way.

I posted this some hours ago. Check if it is of any help to you.

This is not quite correct. The Josy of my MC, does not want to falsify anything on this list. No, she wants to do everything on this list with the MC. The way Josy found was just ingenious. Lubricant for Maya.

But seriously.

No, Maya's problem is so she tries everything she could. I repeat, what she could. Then it got to the point in EP7 where she didn't know what to do and resigned. That's normal human behavior when you hit a low point. That's why the MC says to Tommy in EP6 that sometimes it takes someone to help you get back on your feet.

That's exactly what happens with Maya. When she was down, Sage realized that. Sage in turn didn't know why Maya was down and talks to Josy, the MC and eventually Maya overcomes her introversion and tells Sage everything. This took a lot of overcoming on Maya's part and is rewarded.

Riona stands up for herself in the sense that she has prostituted herself and sells drugs. Wow. Equally amazing I think so it's okay for the MC to help Riona but not when he helps Maya. Wow. Please don't get me wrong. I think it's great that the MC is helping Riona and Riona is going to split with Quinn as a result. But why would the MC let Maya's situation escalate to the point it did with Riona in the first place? Would it then be more right in your eye to help Maya?

Couldn't resist, after seeing your avatar

In all seriousness, I'm quite a vocal Maya shitposter.
But I say this in all seriousness: I respect you.
I respect everyone that stays true to himself and what he likes.
Thing is, this is the internet. Nothing should be taken too seriously.
I mean, I post often about Maya's future "13 mini-games why" episode.
Problem is, some characters aren't bad, it's what DPC does with them that causes fall from grace.
DPC dunks on them, we're here to make fun and meme about it.
The HUGE problem with Maya and Josy is without MC they are doomed.
And when MC is the ONLY THING that holds them together, and the girls are not right for each other...not a pretty sight.
The support structure she has is only through the girls MC hangs around with.
She is forced in every route now almost.
Her brother is pretty much useless in helping her.
Specially since even on others route, Josy is chasing MC still. Prepping a dagger to Maya's back.
It's ok to have some drama, but DPC forced way too much drama in that route.
And some of us are hella tired of it.
If I wanted that kind of drama, I'd watch The OC, Gossip Girls and similar shit.

But, to an outside point of view, we might be appalling.
Just don't take everything seriously, we're all here to have fun and shot the shit.
