Lily and Nicole tied him to the bed and had non-stop sex with him for several days after the Halloween party, then finally let him loose. MC is smart enough to know to never try to shave his face with the same razor a woman has been using on her legs unless he wants to need a blood transfusion.
i thought it was showing that the mc is leaning towards bad boy status on that path, but i like this theory better

Freeroams are not intended to solve different branches problems, etc. They are the problem themselves in such a branching...

DPC is still have to create a lot of alternative scenes outside of freeroams. Everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Classes, campus, etc, etc. Sometimes it's just different facial emotions of characters to reflect their mood, or just using less renders in dialogues here and there, because they are shorten if we are not on particular branch (or no dialogues at all). We seen it a lot of times in EP9 and it's very easy to extrapolate it to any other scenes and events outside of freeroams.

Let me explain it better. Let's imagine some future freeroam(s). We already know how it would look like and was realized, while we have experience with EP9. On one hand... adding some characters here and there while you have a prepared environment and assets is easy. It takes less time to create and mess with. On other hand... while renders growing insanely because of different scenes with characters, their different emotions, probably costumes or clothes, circumstances, etc - we are (as players) are still at the same place, at the same event, moment, etc. Such type of branching and its inevitability grabs a lot of "renders" while providing close to zero unique content. I don't have an idea where do you see a solution here or what solution do you mean.

I think we already seen how the REAL branching works and looks like. And I hope it will be done in a such way. EP4, in short. We start at absolutely different environments, we have absolutely unique scenes and even sub-content. For example, we can visit Pink Rose if MC stays with Derek, while this option is not available with Sage and Bella. While at the same time we visit classes and other common events shared between all branches. That's the most complex thing. Because instead of playing with characters positioning, etc at the same event and place, DPC have to create an unique scenes. It takes much more time, but such content is MUCH more valuable than extra 4-5 images per each 1 for different branches at the same event/scene. It grabs the same amount of renders, but brings absolutely different expirience and joy to the player.

But... In EP4 branching was about staying in different places, because MC was being literally homeless. At the moment MC is a DIK, he live in DIKs mansion and have his own room. So, probably all unique scenes will be dedicated to spending time with particular girl(s), etc. While MC room is a part of different "freeroams" (just remember how much freeroams we had in DIKs mansion in the past in EP5-8).

Finally, don't forget, that some content just not possible and compatible depending on chosen branch. For example, what players will get on Bella's branch instead of parties? Bella won't attend to them. Probably Jill too, while she can attend to some of future parties, I don't think she will participate in all of them. It's easier with J&M and Sage, since they are all HOTs now, they are always visit each party, etc, but here we step into the relationships permutations and variations.

Regarding large freeroams - 95% of them would probably be a different parties, which we will have in each future episode. They will still take a decent % of renders and episodes "space", but I see all future branching and it's realization same as we already seen in EP4. It just can't be done in any other way. Differences - that we will not be able to get lewd scenes with girls outside of chosen branch with potential exclusions like Sage threesomes plans, cheating, etc.
I agree with you on a lot of things. DPC in the last status update said that he wants to make the update for solo players as long and intense as possible, which may indicate that he wants to implement something similar to episode 4. That is, the branch of your girlfriend will be tightly woven into the main plot and canonical paths will be less. But there's no escaping the freeroams. In addition to the main girl paths, there are sub branches that will apparently be implemented in freerolls. If they were just single branching paths - it would be complicated, but simple. But now, for example, he will have to consider many things. If we take Sage's path, for example. Whether MC fucked Jade or not, whether he had a threesome with Quinn or not, whether he kissed Riona or not, whether he talked to Josy and so on, it's a huge amount of data that has to be taken into account and can't be fully realized within the branching only. That's why I believe that freeroams will play an important role, will be new points where the player will make new choices. All cheating will be during freeroams. In order to cheat, your LI must be absent. Which means freeroams will be with different number of girls. For example, there will be a freeroam with no Jill and Bella and there will be a freeroam with them but no Quinn and Sage.

MC looking like Vinny in his first college year with that beard.
And how about "Don't fall in love with me?" :ROFLMAO: Says the girl who already fallen.
yup, clearly youre right. chad lets his boyfriend get harassed, thrown out of the frat, and beat up by his brothers to protect his image. uses sage as a beard without her knowing, oh.....lets not forget this gem View attachment 2885237
nope, chads not bad at all.
After what we learned about Sage, Chad had to fly 5 meters away, knowing how strong Sage is.
Also, Chad is scumbug.

I like dalli_x 's idea of them going out of town for three days, by the way. It's a logical explanation of bristle and DPC wouldn't need to make for some paths bristle and some not. Probably at the end of the episode we'll be offered the choice to keep the stubble or not. The final freeroam is a freeroam in a new environment. Did they all decide at the end to go to a rock band concert at a club? Or go to the MC's hometown? Would it be a hike or a car ride?

Moreover, Anthony suggested about the photos and came to the right conclusion. Anthony!

You're thinking too narrowly. Chad didn't want his homosexuality to be known. Ergo, the jocks didn't know about Chad and Troy. If Chad would have cared too much about harassing Troy, rumors are swirling. Heck, Troy even walks like a gay.

I can't find any excuses for Chad. What he did with Sage sucks, I already wrote that in the original post. But does the MC, or us players, have the right to override Sage's decision to keep Chad's secret secret in EP8? Sage is able to get the facts from the MC and forgives Chad. I respect Sage's decision, that's all.

That's the thing with the guitar. We only know so Chad gave Sage the guitar but not how Chad got the guitar from the MC. There are 3 options.

1. Chad consulted with Troy and they both decided for Chad to give Troy a black eye, take the guitar and give it to Sage to keep the whole charade going.

2. The jocks black eye Troy unbeknownst to Chad. They give Chad the guitar to get him reconciled with Sage for the sake of the HOT Alpha tradition.

3. Quinn doesn't want to party with the Alphas and Tommy wants HOT to only party with the DIKs. How to achieve this? Break up Sage and Chad. Look for a scapegoat of the saga approached. Blackmail Chad into revealing his secret if he doesn't step down as President of the Alphas. What I'm getting at is that Quinn and Tommy were planning to hook up Sage with MC. Tommy gets the guitar, who gives it to Quinn and Quinn in turn gives it to Chad. He wants to keep his secret and tries to reconcile with Sage. Then Quinn and Tommy arrange it so the MC discovers his guitar at Sage's. The alphas are the scapegoats.
ahhhh, im thinking too narrowly. let me see where i went wrong.
A: you say chads not a bad guy
B: i question the statement and back it with facts
C: you then go on to talk about sages empathy, give theories that may or may not be valid as plot points but say nothing about what makes chad a good guy
D: ..........hmmmmm............nope, i dont get it. but theres still hope. would you be willing to take off the tinfoil hat, and try this convo again?

You can use Unren. I’ve been using it pretty much every release and never broken anything and you don't have to be concerned about updates.

It's piss easy to use just find the variable and you can change it by typing it in the console.

Money is money= 5
mansion_money = 2000 (mansion minigame funds)
mAddedExp = 2000 (mansion minigame exp)
pp_money = 2000 (party minigame funds)
Girl relationship is RPgirlsname = 20, faction is the same such as RPhot = 20
tc = 20 (the cheating variable)
dik = 20

Story shit is usually stuff like ep6_envy_lewd = True but you need to be careful fucking with switches as that can break a save if you're dumb about it.
Thanks for this. I figured out some of the Console stuff on my own before applying the mod(s), but this is always useful info. (y)
