its hard to blame them. they are in a real relationship. mc IS a 3rd wheel until he commits to the relationship, and that doesnt happen until ep9. and by then, hes def not a 3rd wheel. i think that 1 of the reasons this game resonates with people the way it does is because just like in life, theres no perfect path. take sage, i agree, shes great. but perfect? i give you
exhibit A: she just got out of a relationship with a gay man that wouldnt fuck her, we dont know how long it been, but we do know its long over due. mc gives her the dicking she needs, and she hits us with 3 out of 5?.......sounds like she enjoys celibacy. no dik for you, sage!
exhibit B: all or most holidays will be spent with the burks (and no, punching tybalt with a turkey wrapped fist will not be accepted as a "thanksgiving tradition").......seriously, think about it!
exhibit C: kinda works both for and against her. she herself admits that she has emotional issues that kinda make her a ticking time bomb. and mc is bound to do something dumb to earn her wrath. but hey, she gets credit for being honest, but the mc needs to learn how to sleep with 1 eye open.
in conclusion. great girl? yes.
perfect? no!
worth it? again yes, but im investing in some sort of safe room!
