Egg-zactly! I even got curious now if there's a possibility to skip the yoga class because, i don't regret it, but it didn't make too much sense in my main run (DIK/Others) either...
Sad (and also weird) that DPC keeps putting girls in the game that probably will never happen due to the tight schedule... There is Sally & KRJ since the beginning that I'm starting to doubt if it will ever happen; in Ep. 9, all those vixens (dormies); there's Carla and Bianca; now that cute blonde girl from the yoga and chemistry class... If I had his phone I would call him and say: "Dude, stop! Work with what you already have! Or, if you're gonna put a chick in it, make it lame, gay or ugly so you don't tease us with something will never happen!"
Maybe he’s partly doing this to cement a point or bring some semblance of “realism” into the game. You can’t catch em all no matter how hard you try. Maybe it’s some greater point about temptations. I don’t know.
It also doesn’t help that some characters are (I know people have very varying tastes at this point) just exponentially more interesting/ well written than others imo.
For me characters like Zoey, Sage, Elena, Quinn, Josy, are just too funny in the sense that they almost make the rest feel underwhelming. Maybe that’s the point? To underline the choose your own aspects.
To give various players their own love story variations to take with them on essentially the same main story, and thereby help the investment of the player. I don’t actually think he cares about the players that want to see everything, because the flow is so much better if you focus on a few, with a branch save here or there from start until finish.
In essence this amount of options essentially means that he’s creating multiple VNs within his single creation.
