My little comment after FINALLY finishing current update on Lily's path (but I also checked some others without finishing).

Average update with some interesting parts and even more meaningless ones. It is my first update I absolutely don't want to run again with other paths (which I have like 12 or 14) hyped what will happen with different approach... Not sure if this is because it was boring or too much freeroam or whatever but one run and gallery unlock is all I need this time unfortunately.

I think differences between each paths are marginal this time. After choosing one path (girl/girls) it lacks "this thing" which was there since beginning, freedom maybe. Sticking to one path causes much less casual interaction with other girls (which earlier was leading to sex in most scenarios) and this takes a lot from the story. Earlier because of whoring around MC talked with a lot of people, it was more alive to me, now being faithful to one there is barely any interests in others life like theirs lifes are exclusive for chosen path. I don't see reason not to visit Bella or check HOTs house with Sage or Camila or whoever. I understand being faithful or whatever but it doesn't seem we cannot interact with any other girl we choose and it doesn't need lead to sex. We can just be casual friend right?

Maybe I'm wrong, just saying my thoughts after one run. Looking at current stage of the game I hope it to end soon with all mysteries revealed etc, MC choosing one path should be more like endgame to me but will see...

You played one path, and that for Lily which didnt get much content for her anyways. (she is only a sidegirl after all)

So you are not "maybe" wrong, you are period. You pretty much missed about 70% of the episode. Even more i think... Just like every episode before too, well except episode 9 where are really not much differences between the paths.

I get it if its annoying for many people to play the same game over and over again to see everything (so in this case being a dik is the wrong game anyways for those people). But to say that there are no differences between the paths and didnt even played a second one, on top of that not even for a main-girl... thats... well, put in your own thaughts _here_.

Question to you guys who had a look at the script file:

Guys, how were you able to read the scripts.rpa file? I usually decompile the game using unren and read it like a .txt file, but it fails me this time: only gibberish.

What did you do?

Of course I have the best party result on the path I like the least

Iam still curious if it will even matter at some point.

Many people told me that the mansion minigame and the result will for sure have a HUGE impact later on... well, it didnt. You fail? No problem, Rusty has a car to sale. You manage it? Fine, but your money you won is erased anyways. No consequences so far, and it wasnt even mentioned anymore after the small dialogue with Rusty and Micah at the Halloween Party.

Make a shitty party out of Halloween in the planning? The Party still plays out the same pretty much, with slightly different dialogues here and there, and well, which events you choose. But no matter what, its a "blast" for them anyways, and again, not really mentioned in Episode 10.

Stats carry over, but yet again, i tried my playthrough where i screw up things on purpose. Like... getting the lowest score in partyplanning. And it doesnt matter, everyone is unhappy in the stats, but not in the scenes. Whats up with that?

The minigame is not bad, not my favorite either, especially because the random factor, so you are not really "free" to plan a party that you like to have. Everything is about the multiplyer. But i had hopped for different outcome in the scenes and the behavior of the characters too. But its not really the case, a remark here and there "i dont like the leftovers" or something like that, and thats it.

I think... if you add a minigame like that, you should add consequences that come with it too, otherwise, dont make it. Its a nice distraction and something get a little immersed with maybe, but this imemrsion is gone if it doesnt really matter if every DIK is happy or not. And... well if you screw up the mansion game, why do the DIKs trust you with planning partys after that? Another thing that doesnt make that much sense... or any at all. And i have a playthrough where my MC practically works AGAINST the Diks, like every choice where you can get +RP for DIKs is avoided... and still, Rusty want him in charge :D Yeah DPC should think that through... maybe at the end of Season 3 he could add consequences if the DIKs are not pleased with MC... but i doubt it.

Its nothing major, but yeah, it bothers me little everytime the partyplaning pops pops up or in a replay i do the mansion game... But maybe its too much to add consequences here too. There cant be branching for everything i guess.
