I’ll preface this by saying that I don’t intend to start a waifu war by making this comment, but I just had a thought about the rankings.

So I present you with my little waifu preference investigation questions, prefaced by a long preamble that contextualizes the questions at the end.

We all of course have different preferences, both when it comes to LI looks, personality and about how to design the mc (dik, neutral,chick etc).

However I am curious to wether or not most people play with many different saves, and therefore have seen the ways the LIs develop or if they primarily stick with one or two runs?
It matters a lot because some characters seem like distant, uninspiring assholes in some playthroughs while imo being significantly more sympathetic and fleshed out in others.

Take the perhaps most two hated characters (which also have their very dedicated cultists whom I dare not insult) Quinn and Jill. Opposites in every aspect.

If your affinity is opposite theirs, and especially if you’re consistently playing like a huge Dik/chick they come out really poorly. If you match and pursue them they get drastically better. Jill still needs a bit of overall love from dpc development wise imo, but still there’s something charming there vs the aloof npc you get as a dik. Quinn goes from a cynical and psychotic antagonist to a borderline vulnerable and loving quasi LI.

This is why I have somewhat of a hard time really choosing favorites.

My questions are as follows:
Have you played through a lot of different paths? Have you ever tried to play the path of the LI you’re the least interested in?
If the answer to both of those questions is yes, what would say are the primary characteristics and physical that make you prefer this specific LI?
Bonus question, does the MCs affinity with your LI also suit you better personally than other affinities?
i have played every path and have multiple saves for each. Was not easy to play through like 50 options with minor changes for possible later releases. I think it just comes down to playing how you like and going for the LI you feel is best for the way you play. Like honestly some of the LI's are not even main ones. Like Cam she is one of the best over all models but not a man interest. She has a great personality and could be a great LI if they had more options for her.

At first it seemed surprising to me why such a seemingly good girl like Josy has such strange fans who very like porn, post dead bodies photo, and do not hesitate to speak not flattering about other girls. This is not the behavior of gentlemen, I must say bluntly. But then something began to clear up for me. Some facts have surfaced, comparing which, we can come to an unambiguous conclusion - we are dealing with a criminal syndicate. The compromising photo of Josy
View attachment 2844629
and the well-known surname of one of her most ardent fans leave no doubt. :cautious:
And these people have the audacity to say something about the little misdeeds of sweet Quinn. Hypocrisy. :cautious:
I don't want to be hypocritical. I think so that Josy and Maya are really only apparently good girls. Both also have their dark sides and I think so that they fight in the background with dirty means for the favor of the MC.

Which is kinda bizarre because she's really into you.
It was pretty amusing when Sage asked Fuckface's surname and I wrote "Burke, "Burgmeister" or "Royce" she was like "No, it's not. Stop fucking around!"
She's also not a fan of Armstrong.

Story wise I don't really have a most/least favourite. I tend to see the person, as it were, and adjust the MC accordingly for that specific play through.
Yeah kinda same, I don't really self insert. Yes Jill's route is sweet and there is a lot there I just wish we get more moments with different aspects, like when we saw her get mad with Tyballs for instance was really good. Thanks for the reply.

The first time I went through the game I played as I mostly would in real life, which is chick-leaning. Jill's path is awesome--at least until episode 9. I just went back through going full-on DIK and was disappointed when I got to episode 9.

Interesting, and yeah it's very glaring how different some characters end up being based on affinity and what not. Banana Jill was controversial but it's also interesting to see how Jill breaks her shell with vs without the mc. Ty for the reply

He's clearly fucking with us at this point, yeah?

I actually recently went through and played J&M and Bella's episode 9 branches (did the rest at release). Not a huge fan of them but it was okay. Sage and Others still have the best halloween party experiences, though.
Cool, and did the experience make you consider exploring those paths going forward? Ty for the reply.

I can't wait to tell Maya's dad she is in a relationsip with both the mc & Josy
That'll piss that homophobic piece of trash off
I don't think that will happen. Odds are if Josy comes along she will just be "A friend" and MC will be the boyfriend in his eyes.

Maya wouldn't like that. Josy would. But Maya isn't overly fond of violence. Plus it will just make things worse for the family. Have to play it smart!

You are right again
But remember love makes us do not smart things

Still I know Maya wouldn't like that
So I won't do anything like that
But I will defend her with every fibre of my being.
