Was also wondering where those screens came from. No suprise I missed them, I'd rather bang the Black Death than that awful creature.From episode 9, Jill's branch.

He hides the money in his bank account. Unless Vinny turns into a Nigerian prince and MC into a 90 YO senile boomer, I don't really see how he's going to manage stealing it.A Gym membership won't cost that much, especially since the MC only has the Silver membership and not the Gold like Josy. Josy did not inherit 5k.
But one other thing I find interesting. Where do you put or hide a check. In a safe or in a book. Vinny wants to get into the safe and rummages through the bookshelf from the MC.
Ohh its hard and as i see what MC says its maybe the choise like have relationship or be a fuck man with all girl for all next game, ok we will seeThere is no real "better" here. If you choose Sage, your MC will start a committed relationship with Sage and stop fucking others (at least for now). If you choose "Others" you have multiple options in Ep. 9, some of which MIGHT lead to their own "semi-paths".
The basic idea would be to play all paths, since the game won't be finished for - at the very least - another two or three years.
It doesn't matter how the membership cost MC wouldn't be able to pay for it without the money unless Josy payed for his which Mc does tell Josy he never been able to afford something like this before and Josy says "your worth it"A Gym membership won't cost that much, especially since the MC only has the Silver membership and not the Gold like Josy.

I can't say that I like her much, because I don't, but I don't hate her either. And being one of the main girls, I feel compelled to follow her path if only to get a different angle on the story through her arc.Was also wondering where those screens came from.

Bruh, it's like a year later and that's still wrongNeil told the MC that Lynette has no relatives other than her parents. However, we do not know who died. The grandmother or the grandfather. As long as either the grandmother or grandfather are still alive, the inheritance would not automatically go to the MC. That would only be possible if the grandparents died together and/or promptly.
I'm really hoping that it will turn out that Lynette's parents did some shady shit, or Neil didn't understand what was going on (with some manipulation by Lynette's parents), and there will be some big payoff once real lawyers get involved, but this would require DPC to know and understand all of what you laid out. I'm really not holding my breath on that.Bruh, it's like a year later and that's still wrong
For any speculation you first have to make up your mind if there was a will or not. Now if you go by probability, an 18 year old girl, that ran away from home is not very likely to already have a will in play, however if they were super loaded, it could've been custom for the family to have all children make a will as soon as they hit 18.
Without a will, the order of inheritance is as follows
1. Spouse and Children, and to keep this super simple, for most cases 50% to each party, meaning even 5 Children would together only inherit 50% with the other 50% going to the spouse.
If the deceased has no spouse or children it's
2. Parents and Silblings.
So as you can see, without a will, the MC ( assuming he is the only child of his mother, which seems very likely ) given the fact that Neil and Lynette were not married would have inherited 100%.
As far as inheritance prodedure goes, nobody gets a box with a 5k$ check, some old clothes, a diary and a letter from a lawyer 2 weeks before they turn 19. So whatever the fuck happened there, the MC didn't inherit shit, either someone send him a box with all the stuff and the "who" is the million dollar question or Neil had it all the time.
That box didn't even belong to any lawyer to begin with, you don't inherit when you reach legal age, you inherit when a person dies, a guardian would have been appointed to manage those assets, and in like all but 2 states that would have defaulted to Neil (assuming he is the MC's biologial father and of course still under the assumption that there is no off setting will.)
And even if Neil wouldnt have qualified, he would have known right there and then who was appointed as the guardian. And don't even get me started on the requirements the guardian would have to meet upon accepting guardianship to "act in the best interest of the benefactor" because that sure as shit doesn't mean you throw a 5k check into a box and then seal the box, he/she would have to deposit the money and have the benefactor collect the interests.
It would be a real bummer if DPC just willed that stupid box into existence so the MC has the diary to read and some money to splash. I seriously hope the "who" is relevant and by that i mean BOOM-relevant to the story, otherwise it's a fucked up mess and a cheap tug at the heartstrings.
DPC is from sweden and he said that from a law/realism point of view he goes with a mix of the US system and the swedish system and I'll be the first to admit that I know fuck all about swedish inheritance law, but I also can't fathom it to be a complete 180 to US law.I'm really hoping that it will turn out that Lynette's parents did some shady shit, or Neil didn't understand what was going on (with some manipulation by Lynette's parents), and there will be some big payoff once real lawyers get involved, but this would require DPC to know and understand all of what you laid out. I'm really not holding my breath on that.
I don't remember the specifics, but I seem to recall that DPC indicated that he's not from America and is dependent on whatever research he does rather than any kind of personal experience or stories from his family. So did he get his research right? Does he understand how inheritance works in America? I'm not really banking on it, but hopefully he'll come up with something cool.
And personally, I wouldn't consider Neil deceiving and manipulating MC all of this time to be a cool option. I'd be pretty disapointed if that was the route DPC takes.
Nice, I see the game here. Implying you are providing protection for everyone, but at the same time subtly hinting you've got a monster dong.To prevent the spread of this recent topic in the thread, feel free to take some protection.

Personally, I don't think that's the most likely scenerio. I think it's more likely that Lynette's parents did some shady stuff (possibly illegal stuff) to keep MC from getting his inheritance. It's possible that one of the grandparents died recently, and it prompted the other to toss him a bone, but it's also possible that the grandparent that died was the one holding his inheritance back and Lynette just didn't have much in the way of personal assets at 18. Edit: Or maybe someone just had a change of heart and tossed him a bone?I said this before, what makes the most sense is that Lynette is alive but if that's the case Neil must be aware of it, because I just can't imagine a plausible way from him to get decieved about her death.
Gonna disagree on that one. Everyone deals with grief differently, and it seems perfectly plausible to me that Neil would still get emotional at least one day a year, especially in a dramatic story.In that scenario, everything else suddenly makes a whole lot more sense too. What 23 year old keeps his dick dry for 19 years and still starts having mental breakdowns at her "day of death" when he only knew her for what ? a year ? 2 tops ? Humans can deal with death, even if it takes a long time, but as young as he was ? That's anything but normal and more on par with guilt and regret than loss.
I don't think the fact that we haven't seen a scene with Lynette's grave in it is good evidence that there isn't one. I'm having a hard time imagining a scene with it shoe-horned in that wouldn't seem a bit contrived and tacked on.Then there are all the small things, where is Lynette's grave ? Why did her entire family and friends just walk out of the MC's life ? They may all have hated Neil with a passion, but the MC ? Like wouldn't one of her besties contact him and tell the MC "This is who your mom was" or just plain be there for him as a female role model to lean on ?
This is Jill's route, Episode 9.where's this from and which path?
Agree to disagree on all of the above but this one I just can't let go. An 18 year old girl runs away from home and is all alone and in the 9 months she is pregnant she is supposed to never tell her best friends or have them visit her at all ? If that's the case, then there better be dragons, elves, dwarves and some serious wand waving magic in the following episodes because that seems so unlikely that we may aswell go full fantasy.As for her family, I completely believe that Lynette's parents were petty and vindictive enough to write him out of their lives. And who's to say that any extended family knows that he exists? Or Lynette's friends? Lynette's parents may have made some kind of manipulative power move that kept Neil out of her funeral, or made it private enough that Lynette's friends weren't there. I think that it's a mistake to assume that Lynette's friends know about MC's existence.
It's absolutely believable if her parents told her friends that Lynette died and so did the child. Whether or not they had contact with her beforehand wouldn't matter, especially if her parents threatened Neil with some kind of made up legal action or to bury him if he told anyone in their social circle that MC was alive. I can definitely see scenarios where the rich abuse their power to push out the poor, whether or not they're in the right legally. Neil is demonstrably ignorant of the law and his rights.Agree to disagree on all of the above but this one I just can't let go.
