Iam still curious if it will even matter at some point.View attachment 3165427
Of course I have the best party result on the path I like the least
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 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.
