I'm currently playing a new run that I hadn't tried till now: chick affinity, interested in Maya, but not in Josy and going directly for the friendship route with both in episode 4, in the hope that at some point a solo route with Maya will open up.

Anyway, I'm in episode 3 at the moment. Previously, in episode 2, I lost the cum-petition on purpose (again, this is an option I had not explored before). Well, now I've got to that scene after one short free roam event where Maya and the MC are lying on the ground outdoors and exchange a kiss when Derek suddenly stops their fun. And this time around, the motherfucker says this to her sister:

Fucking Derek. :ROFLMAO:
So, an advice... if you want the solo route and want to get sure it will work out... star over again.

If you choose "friendship" you pretty much closed the door. Kinda obvious right?

Yeah you will still have some Maya scenes, but in ep10 the door will be kinda shut. Same goes for Josy.

So... whats the way to go for that?

DONT fuck Josy in ep 2... DONT get the lewd scene in episode 3 with Maya. Just.... stay at the party for example, or dont help her with the HOT-List.

It seems kinda odd, but it makes sense... cause if you do serious lewd things with them, they want to be with the MC. But you dont want that to get on the solo route, you want only Maya... To achieve that, go for "more" at the end of episode 4, if you didnt fucked Josy and didnt had the nearly sex scene with Maya in ep 3, they will reject you.

But you are on the path now to engage the solo route. Follow Maya during the party at ep 5, and tell Derek that you have feelings for her. Later in ep 7 visit maya and give her the TV... and thats about it. Maya Solo path should be moving forward and the scene with her in ep 10 will be very different (nothing serious yet, but its pretty obvious where things will lead in the future)

If you choose to be friends... well, you will exectly get that. They talk about the feelings, but dont let them lead to something.

Its not for sure that the solo path is closed if you choose to be friends in ep 4, but it very much looked like it, and would make sense too. If you go the way i did, its 100% sure that the solo path is achieveable... its just obvious...

Same goes for Josy too, just... go for josy in ep 5 and 7.

Everyone here has already complained about the minigames and I won't do that either, but one thing that bothers me is that the game's main story is being developed by Maya, a character who (at least I) completely lost interest in after we were forced to choose someone in episode 8.

Another point is that this episode shows how pointless the prologue with Zoey was. If you've already chosen a girl, you probably won't be able to keep her, and I believe that the vast majority of players won't choose the "others" option because almost all the other girls are nowhere near the level of the main ones (Sage, Jill, Bella...).

The scene in which Maya goes to watch a movie with the MC and has her breasts visible and is talking about sex bothered me a bit too because few men would resist that lol (especially the MC who has had sex with almost everyone throughout the game and has suddenly decided that he wants a serious relationship).
Again, the choice to stick with 1 fixed character came too soon, especially considering that we still have about 6 episodes to go.

Derek is not gay. He is not very successful with girls, he is too frivolous and does not draw conclusions from his mistakes. He has a so-so physique and his manners are like those of the dwarves from the Hobbit. He is actually very insecure and often uses tricks to seduce girls. For example, he humiliates MC to look better in front of Ashley. It's primitive, but it works because Ashley has an IQ75. Cunning is one of his few strengths. It was no wonder that Sage was uncomfortable in his company.
Derek is not successful with girls? Come on... take a look at his list :D

If MC is not on a manwhore route Derek has scored more girls then him. Well... if he didnt lied to himself in that list ^^

What do you mean, you did not use patches? you need to install the patch from ep9 to 10 to play ep10. If you download fresh of course there will be no old savegames, since you have a new folder while your old saves are in the old game folder...
i already try it, i download/put that patch in game folder and nothin workin, again same errors

OK, all main paths played. Large summary of thoughts incoming.

Let me get the gameplay/minigame bitching out of the way. I hate them. Almost all of them, and yet both disposable income and some renders are locked behind them, so I keep them on. But man, that science minigame is the single worst thing DPC has done. If it presented a challenge or was fun there'd at least be an argument in its favor, but it isn't. It just eats up several minutes being pointless. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Then there's the fish, which actually costs me money to do and isn't even a game by any but the loosest definition. Brawler got more complicated for no particular reason, and there's that puzzle box I refuse to engage with until it's entirely completable (and it better have a damn good reward inside). The math game is a lateral move from the former one... I think it's actually easier in that it makes more logical sense to me than some of the old math questions and has no timer, but I still wouldn't call it fun. The English test got a much less forgiving timer, but at least we can type now so that one I'll call a win. Also Beer Pong, which is great conceptually but not that fun... I'd have preferred something simpler, maybe akin to the tennis minigame.

But yeah... lots of minigames and not lots more fun from them.

The story continues to inch forward, slower than it should but faster than it was last episode. Most of the progression was character stuff, which I'll get to in a bit. Lewd scenes were a bit weak this time around, not bad but pretty uninspired. There are a couple of exceptions

As for the characters, the meat of the episode and my thoughts on same:

There, the long ass review/thoughts/ramble I said just yesterday I wasn't going to do. If you actually read all this, well, you're awesome. Let the waiting for Episode 11 commence.

P.S.- Almost forgot, the "it's one of us" moment the DiKs had.

As a Sage route fan, I absolutely ADORED the cuddle session they had where MC told her about being hesitant to talking about a lot of stuff to avoid angering Sage, cuz she does know that's how she is, but to hear her fuckbuddy/totally-not-boyfriend tell her he is afraid to talk to her, something she wanted from Chad and hated that he kept to himself so much, has her realizing she can't just avoid every uncomfortable topic about her past.

This makes sense to me, maybe I'm misremembering shit and I'm in my own world. And if I am, who the fuck are you people and how did you get here?

Than you are wrong. The others route is the most played route of being a dik. No matter where you go, every poll shows the same. Pretty much...

1. others
2. J&M

And after that Sage/Jill/Bella are changing places... F95 is pretty much the exception (and not the mainplatform for being a dik btw) On F95 Sage and others are more head to head for place 1. Which is no surprise on a porngame pirate site i guess. But doesnt change the fact... the others route is the most played.

The others route is just the most replayable route in the game. With so many different options and outcomes... and with some girls on the others route its getting pretty serious. So serious that its close to the "maingirls" now. Quinn is pretty much a maingirl in that route. But i still woudlnt count her to the main-LI cause its just not a relationship... and never will be, but that is another topic. Rio, Nicole (Envy) and Lily are getting pretty serious too. And of course... Solo Josy, Solo Maya is most probably available over the others route, its pretty much safe to say that at this point. And for Zoey the most fitting choice would be the others route too.

Is the others route my favorite? Hm, no. But still... most savegames are on the others route, and every save differs in many way... you can play others as chick or dik, and pursue many different girls at the same time (never every girl though)

And many of the so called "sidegirls" are huge fan favorite, Nicole, Rio and Lily are always high up in the rankings.

Not accurate.

There is a secondary save location in %APPDATA% so even a fresh install of episode 10 in a new folder will load old saves from there.

Well... that depends on the playthrough dont you think? You do know that you can make a playthrough without any sex in it besides the flashback with Zoey for example? And before you ask... yep i do have playthrough like that.

Don't be so sure about that. There's Viagra in his smoothies.
Again, Dekek insecurity in himself. Plus the guy is bad in bed, remember Wendy. No wonder he uses it.

Ok, Derek score list, girls we saw with our eyes:
1. Girl from Maya and Josy flashback.
2. Arieth
3. Ashley
4. Wendy
5. Lydia Henderson :HideThePain:

Compare with MCs girls. Difference is clear.

A sexless playthrough in a sex game.

It's a hard work, but someone's gotta do it. :HideThePain:

zoey also get jealous on the others route, when she sees the MC at the bonfire with camila and riona
That scene doesn't show Zoey being jealous, she looks at him, and only at him, thinks back of what she had with him (flashbacks), and realizes what she really feels about him (love), making her go panic mode and running away (thinking about what she kinda lost? not knowing how to handle those current emotions she's going through?)
