My attitude towards Sage hasn't changed, she's still TierS to me and that's been the same since season two started and knowing who her family is doesn't change absolutely anything for me, except that I did a completely safe Sage run without Jade and Quinn's restaurant to avoid mines on my route. Her psychopatic mom, mr. Wanstein and watermelon clown can go to hell.Im a lurker in this thread now, but what you said is 100% in line with my thoughts as well... I have always said that just because Im a Quinn fan, it doesnt mean that I hate Maya. I just got tired about all the "circumstances" around her storyline and mainly that the MC was always called to help and there was nothing that I could do about it (I even called it "story forced" at one point)
Fortunately DPC, with the addition of the "hangouts" mechanic, made her storyline easier to "digest" because now I could choose to see her just on those situations where everyone regardless of path would have to see her too.
As to Bella, that happened to me too... Bella is now tied with Sage for number 2 and Quinn is now my undisputed number 1. But the reason for it in my case was more how great she was written vs how underwhelming the characters in front of her were written...
-Sage: My main girl since the beginning, but lately it has been hard to play her path... The MC somehow getting "unturned on" while having sex with her because he now knows about her family now, that low effort outfit in the party didnt help either. Not to mention the whole "rebound guy" thing. Making Sage kinda "boring" just blows my mind still
(I know we got Anal and other things at the end, but it doesnt erase what happened before that
)
-Josy: Amazing LI, but like I said before: Im not the biggest fan of Maya, so... Yeah... When she gets a solo path, Im all for it though
-Bella: We waited a long time for sex scenes, but man when we got it they were so worth it. Her path is really wholesome and in the last episode she was definitely THE STAR. The mummy outfit was genius. Theres nothing I can point out that I disliked since her and MC started "seriously" going at it![]()
Of course, the route where everything goes to hell also remains...
As for Quinn, she is still a well-written character, but from the first place of Side Girls she was supplanted by Zoey after Ep.9. An incredible breath of fresh air. And despite how interesting Quinn is as a character, she does do a lot of dangerous bad shit and sets up her friend by turning HOTs into a brothel and drug house. It's sad to see how Sage considers her his best friend, someone she can trust with anything.
