That's one of the things that make this game awesome. Consequences of your choices.I think it's amusing that many players will have sabotaged their ep 8 decision with decisions made in much earlier eps.
Would Sage forgive Fuckface for fucking Jade (even if it was before they were actually an item)? Would Sage forgive Fuckface for knowing about and using Quinn's restaurant and not telling her about it? Would Maya forgive Fuckface if she found out he fucked Quinn on the roof of the mansion despite knowing what she thought about her? Would Maya and Josy forgive Fuckface for knowing about and using the restaurant and therefore knowing that's likely what Quinn was trying to recruit them for with their tasklist? Knowing that Bella drops Fuckface because of a sexual encounter with Cathy, how will she react to knowing Fuckface fucked Jade? How would Jill react to finding out that Fuckface was getting sexual with Bella while she was dating him, even if he chose her over Bella?
But I have to say that the MC is really bad at putting things together. Ridiculously so. Somehow, he hasn't figured out the prostitution ring despite knowing what Quinn's doing. He hasn't even figured out that Quinn is selling drugs, how he possibly could have missed that. I think it's in Episode 7 or 8 that he thinks about how he can't put the pieces together. He's the worst detective in the history of games.
I get that it's necessary to dumb him down for the sake of the story development or he would have told Sage and Maya about it and that would have been really hard to write such a huge split in the story. Personally, I would have had him figure things out as the game progressed but also given him a reason to be quiet about it, like that someone warns him how dangerous it could be for his friends if he told anybody. But now, he's practically clueless.
