Another loose end, does Maya even have a credit score? She's never held a job, she has no property or assets that we know of, how is it likely that she has a bank account or a credit card?

She's very popular to the point I've seen it argued more than once she's the only true romance or the canon one. Sage is by far the VNs most popular girl though as in it's not even close something about her drives people fucking crazy but Jill is probably second. There was a poll for sex scenes for last episode and I think her sex scene came second for example. I have a shit memory though.
I love Maya and Josy so I was like YAY this place loves Josy at first but then realized all the Josy love was coming from the same handful of people
. I was told waifu wars drove off a lot of the fans of other girls. F95 is a little weird tbh it's probably the hardest place to get a feel for what girl is popular because there's so much shitposting and mega simping.

You have a credit score even if you're young just starting out - it won't be a great one but you'll have one - and in the U.S. young college students can get college loans backed by the government - so they don't need high credit scores to get them.
Probably you won't have one unless somebody is reporting on you, like utility bills, etc. Or if you apply for credit. True it will not be worth much. Government backs student loans applied for through your school. Not bank loans or other kinds. It is also true that some lenders, like credit card companies will fold themselves in half to give a college student a credit card. Boom, you have a credit score. In the US. Sweden might be similar.
In fact, it might be that Sweden does not have a government insured student loan program. Or it might even be that tuitions are not so ridiculously high there, or maybe even free. So, dpc might be thinking in terms of that, and then allowing for what he knows of US differences.

Uh... I think the differences between countries realities, regulations, laws and bank behaviours are much more than you expect or assume. And I think you idealize banks and regulators too much and exaggerate their omnipotence or desire to "protect" the borrower or, as you said, the "country's economy" in general.
A loan to a borrower for banks works conversely like a deposit. In advanced countries, deposits have a ridiculous or practically zero percentage of income, encouraging people to invest money in the economy rather than putting it in banks. And developing countries are a completely different matter. The interest rates can be very high, but they usually barely cover inflation. This is offtopic, since the game part takes places somewhere in the USA, but all this still have an actual grounds even in the USA.
I cannot say or compare anything, because I have not live or visited the USA. If everything is so good and strict with the issuance of loans, as you described it, that let's say an 18-year-old will not be able to get a credit card and so on, then why is there are so much homeless people? Banks is a banks. They want to make money even if borrower is awful. They always find ways to fuck the person if he failed to repay.
MC is not a better candidate than Maya for getting loan, but in EP1 he says this:
mc "I can't accept this. I'll take a student loan and will find a way to earn some extra pocket money."
He is not working officially, has no confirmed income and pocket money making intended to live and survive as independent person and live his life in college, but it's not suitable for paying the loan he took. And... as we know Neil is not a person who can become a co-signer. House and the property of MC and Neil are not quite enough to cover something.
If you can explain me how come MC was able to get the loan being literally poor, while you think that Maya could not do that being in the same position, at worst, I would greatly appreciate it.
According to what you said and assumed, I think that Maya got it all right. Dad told her that he is taking the loan and she will become a co-signer, but he fucked her up (and Derek too) and made it so, that's it's Maya, who got the loan, while Patrick became a co-signer for her. Maya doesn't have property or any income and she is his daughter... she can't become a co-signer for him. Co-signer is a backup option for banks to take their money and shit back if the person who got the loan can't repay it anymore. Even im my shitty country years ago, when I was a co-signer for my sister loan, we had almost the same income, but the bank checked me, my documents, various certificates and statements several times more thoroughly than hers. At the moment (in my country)... a lot of people grab credit cards, live on them in debt and then take another card from another bank to repay the previous loan. Most of the time the only property they have is their apartments or houses in the suburbs. Their income is not covering expenses for a long time and all these percentages and other things only make the situation worse. But banks are not particularly worried, because if they throw a person out on the street and sell his apartment or house, they beat off everything and still stay with the profit.
And back to the game universe... Finnman bank was chosed on purpose. It's an additional clue of how and why he got this loan and why it was approved so easily, taking in mind some obstacles here and there. What do I mean? Often business and organizations cooperate with a certain bank. This often means preferential loans, much simpler registration of banking products (including credit cards) and a bunch of different bonuses for employees of the organization from a particular bank. Patrick's car dealership works with Finnman Bank. He could have taken this loan from any other bank, but no, he chose the bank with which his car dealership works.
In any case, any further reasoning will not be of much use, because it is impossible to get into the head of a DPC. References to real life and how and what works or doesn't work can help narrow down the number of versions and theories, but they can hardly help to understand how things are in the world of the game and what its author intended. It's exciting as the camera which Derek find at the end of EP9 and seems to become the very first matter in EP11.

Ugh, that scene is so cringe. That's a perfect opportunity to "cheat" and DPC takes away that player agency and forces MC to make that face. Now, if player were given a choice to react that way, fine.
So yeah, this is one of those places I think the game kinda fails. I like the game a lot, but it definitely isn't perfect.

Agreed, this follows with the story being set in the U.S., where students can get eyeballs-deep in debt for college because the Fed helps them get loans for school.

It’s a pity that the DPC didn’t give any choice in this scene. In a similar scene with Maya, MC remains in control of the situation and has a choice whether to touch Maya's leg or not.
All I wanted to do at my Sage brunch was get out of there.

it's also the whole idea of these Cheat points, or whatever we want to call them, that doesn't make much sense.
there's a temptation but there's no point in falling for it because you can't go all the way through.
what's the point of going to Cathy's house if we're then FORCED to back out? at that point I'm not going....

Huh I didn't know about the Cathy thing since I don't have a playthrough yet where I go over there. But yeah, some romance paths are gated a bit too hard and that's a shame.

you can also take as an example all during the Halloween party
removed a few scenes (the one with Heather, hopefully the one with Bianca) that are supposed to have positive or negative consequences, the others are very stupid temptations that lead to nothing.
why should I touch Sara and Melanie's ass if nothing can come of it?

Cheating branchings here and there at THIS part of the game seems to be impossible. But the "TC" are definitely collected for something in the future. It's like the MC decides to try relationship (EP8) and going through temptations constantly. If he behaved well, relationship grows up and cements, if not then at some point the cheating options may become available and opportunity to fuck up the current relationship, respectivelly. Others branch doesn't have it, bc MC is still fooling around. I think the "others" branch must be settled down at the end of Season 3 with the one of SGs available and MGs in case with Josy / Maya solo paths. Final choice or something like that. Of course with the option to continue to fool around, but what girls could left in such category at the end of S3? Camila, Sarah, Melanie and some strippers like Sandy. Even SG paths started to block each other, like Nicole and Nora. Expecting the same for Rio, Lily and Quinn soon.
In general - MC personality created by DPC not allows him currently to cheat. As any normal man, especially at his age he could grab the Josy's ass like almost immideately, because such girl behaviour is not a some subtle or ambiguous hint, it's literally like shouting "FUCK ME".
And the fact that MC is restraining himself in every possible way, trying to remain faithful to the newly chosen girlfriend, is quite plausible at this stage. It's like a test, you either pass it or you fuck it up. Things are more complicated IRL, but we're in the damn game. So, let's say MC follows his personality and a "relationship type" guy patterns.
Because it's Maya who offers it first. Josy intentionally slips to the lingerie and shows MC her butt waiting for some action from him. It's the difference in their personalities and how differently they act in such situations.
Because her path remained open and MC said her that he want it to continue. Then things changed and he have to said her that he is not available. Same happening with Nora at the gym outside the Others branch. Paths that remained opened have to get the logical closure at some point.
Regarding TC, I believe they will be collected up to the some point in the game when new branchings with particular cheating options could open. Let's say it would be a Season 4. It's just too early to make this mess and quite out of MC personality and integrity that DPC had built for this character.
Some MC actions could be seen by other people and could have more significant consequences in the future, like some of the photos, because all girls can see them. While other actions is not (like grabbing Nicole ass). Some of those setting particular variables AND increase the TC points, while other just increase TC w/o any additional variables. You may treat it as an MCs inner conscience and decency. When you become used to something, you're changing in the same direction. It's a good mechanics for game, imo.
