EP5 is just like 1 day. It starts Saturday Night with the DIK's failed Hell Week Evaluation party and moves on to the preps party, then Bella's house and next day meeting with the DIKs....
Because of her financial situation, Quinn now sells Dawe sugar pills that she passed off as birth control pills. Damn, I don't know when we'll find out about Quinn's sugar pills, but I don't think it matters because Quinn couldn't sell the sugar pills to Dawe before EP5.

I don't know why write such a big post on such a simple thought. Are you guys really not lazy to write so many letters?When dalli_x expounds his craziest theories, I get lost. Either he really thinks that the game will go according to such fantasy / thriller / fairy tale scenarios, or he just makes 100 shots to hit only 1 target, like a betting on the whole table and fields in roulette. In the first case, it is sad, in the second case such theories lose their value, because there is not much joy from the fact that one bet out of 100 won, it is not a victory but a waste of time, because you can "guess" absolutely anything with such approach, and something will work sometime. You can be considered a "winner" if you are consistent, adhere to a certain logic and several theories or even single ones, defend them and subsequently if some of them come true, at least partially - then there is some joy and sense in it. While filling the entire space with information noise and sitting around waiting for some of this to work or come true is absurd, imo.
Regarding Maya in general and example you chosed to explain you point. I think you misunderstand the meaning of narrative linkage tricks which is made and intended to connect different playstyles together and a part of writing of the story. The theories regarding characters or their connections in general as well as ones regarding the plot are mostly another thing. If we theorize about what some character would do with MC or what motivated him to do something, then your example with Maya is a narrative feature and trick partially. Most of the time you won't get any hints from it. It's like asking yourself - why Josy likes MC and will always like. Because it's her feature. She is written in this way. It's like to ask why ice-cream is sweet. It's both part of the genre feature and part of the narrative in case with BADIK.
I can't agree with most of the part regarding affinity and other things you mentioned here, either.
Any proofs that Maya is "fixated" on a DIK MC? You don't get RP points with her being a DIK or even lose some. Josy is more tolerate, but still doesn't like MC being a DIK with her, same thing goes with RPs. They both are "fixated" on MC in general. But at important moment of time his affinity (personality) makes a deciding factor to them.
Even Josy doubts in DIK MC before the library scene. Even fucking her at their date doesn't help here:
Why it's so? Because solo paths are not so complicated and you don't need to get the approval of another relationship participant. Throuple is a more delicate thing and especially at that moment of time. DIK MC sound and act mostly as a womanizer and they wanted feelings at the first place and to make it work out at the second.Code:js "Talk to her. Talk to us!" js "I've realized I already made my bed with my choices..." if ep2_fuckedJosy and affinity != "DIK": js "...but if I got the chance to go back and change them...I wouldn't." elif True: js "...and if I got the chance to go back and change them...maybe I would. I'm not sure..."
Regarding the party - it's fully depends on your choice. If you roleplay your MC as a party guy and "parties first, girls next" then you going to the party. If your MC is interested in Maya he will offer her to make their own little party and then come back early. If you roleplaying a womanizer you can make your MC to pretend as a good guy, while fucking everything that moves and Maya would become just a one of them. You can promise her to help with scavenger tasks and go to have a 3-some with Quinn. It's not a choice between "1" and "2" but a much more complex one.

If you'll play the game after Season 2 only with one branch you will only get content for your choosen path. The "canon" part is still visible, but you can easily feel and tell the difference. When you romancing all MGs and a bunch of SGs at a time in Season 1-2 and how then it looks and feels in Season 3. This is where a lot of controversy and discontent comes from some players who want to see and go through everything in 1-2 runs. Well. You are playing the game. Each game have it's own rules. You may accept them and have fun, disagree and abandon it or try to use cheats and get fucked Because to "de-branch" the game - the modder must literally rewrite most part of the code, remove all checks and traps and fix all potential conflicts. Even after such hypothetical fix game would most likely look ridicolous. For example EP9 with different characters outfits and mixing then in one playthrough. It named "replayability". You can complete almost any game just one time, but you deprive yourself from getting through all possible content, endings, interactions, etc. Your right to sacrifice it, but where the author is wrong? He planned and writen the story and it's impossible to tell such story without branching, because author in his game implies different endings, while most of them dedicated to choosen LI path. Excuses and petitions like the "let us fool around till the end and move the path choice from EP8 to the last episode" is absolutely ridicolous. Don't tell an artist how to draw a picture, how to write music for a musician, how to write a book for a writer. You either like the result or not, or you find some compromises. Everything else is kindergarten.
Some things are always forced, like in any movie/book/tv show. Difference with games like BADIK is ability to make some choice (at some point), some things will still stay linear till the end, while some will change according to your choices. The most important is if they just decorative or emulate the feeling of choice or they are really changing something significantly. True interactivity, not the fake one. Imo, the more true interactivity you get in games like BADIK the greater game is. 1-run lovers will scream and piss, though.
you know I love Josy( ), unlike the others, I didn't have time to hate her, I was too busy making my mix tape for brawler.

I still laugh my ass off every time when Quinn finds out Arieth is preggers due to her fake pillsEP5 is just like 1 day. It starts Saturday Night with the DIK's failed Hell Week Evaluation party and moves on to the preps party, then Bella's house and next day meeting with the DIKs.
Saturday night after the preps party Tommy and Quinn talk about money and the sugar pills :
qu "Dawe stopped ordering birth control pills."
tm "Birth control pills?"
qu "Yeah, there's some stuff in it that's good for muscle growth."
qu "Not that he will see it, because lately, I've been selling him sugar pills to turn a bigger profit."

Partially there is a player choice, the game chooses if you chose "Still have feelings for Josy/Maya in Ep.5". She says the same thing if you had no residual feelings for her and chose to go to her. So Josy’s feelings for MC are a constant, unlike us on the other side of the screen.Of course if no really meant no why go see her, one could blame dpc for forcing it but isn't it based on player pass choice, personally I wouldn't blame a girl for making a move when I invited her to and by going to see Josy in ep 10 you invited her too it doesn't matter if player doesn't want to see that, mc still invited her to do that
Weird that he don't used my gift for his pfpyeah, his love for josy has clearly driven him bat shit crazy.
that comment feels like he is getting close to making josy a religion, and dropping posts that read like sermons.
that would just be awkward ......... .......
jk. i dont drop in much anymore, but im glad that very little has changed. fight on, waifu warriors!
I'll build an empire for Goddess Josy not a religionyeah, his love for josy has clearly driven him bat shit crazy.

The mc would still have to have feelings at some point or he wouldn't be there, right?Partially there is a player choice, the game chooses if you chose "Still have feelings for Josy/Maya in Ep.5".

take it easy man you're getting carried away againView attachment 3348964
Josy is Love Josy is life Alady Alady forever
Thank for your many blessings dear Goddess Josy
Your pussy be wet and filled with my cock forever
Alady
It depends on what exactly is meant by feelings.The mc would still have to have feelings at some point or he wouldn't be there, right?
They wouldn't use MC like that but even off path I wouldn't call it a beard or at least not in a harmful wayPlease do not get me wrong. Of course, the MC is definitely not a "Beard" for Josy and Maya if the player follows their branch. Why should he?
But there are also players who aren't romantically interested in JM. In that case I think it's possible, not proven, that it could happen like that. My MC helps his friends with their problems and if another player's MC is only friends with JM, then it's great if he can decide to help his friends JM as Beard.
Sigh, scene in EP4 and conditions check was for Throuple, conditions for solo are easier. In terms, if you can consider rejecting all MGs and probably staying away from most SGs for almost 10 episodes just to get a chance for such hypothetical solo paths. And you can't be sure in advance regarding success or fail of this paths progression with a particular affinities. At least it's not clear at all with Maya. While Josy doesn't give a fuck of MC affinity, especially at her potential solo path. Well, we even can't be 100% sure that DPC is not teasing and fucking with players still regarding this J / M solo paths. All might turn in any side at any moment.I don't know why write such a big post on such a simple thought. Are you guys really not lazy to write so many letters?
The game is designed in such a way that a player who just started the game can go for Maya or Josy's solo after ep10 even being an Affinity Dik player, which generally devalues the scene in ep4.
The game certainly has suspensions of disbelief, ludonarrative dissonances, and just trivial plot inconsistencies. There's nothing wrong with that. DPC is growing as an author and developer. He makes mistakes and learns.
For example, there are a lot of weird things in ep10 that have been said more than once. Derek's strange motivation, some excessive and even cruel humiliation of Tybalt, incomprehensible complexity with the code for the sake of some hypothetical Sage & Camila.
Okay, I accept that. DPC is not Liu Cixin, and he didn't write The Three-Body Problem. Sometimes you have to make some obvious or non-obvious mistake to get the plot moving.
On the other hand, it seems strange to me to see some deep meaning in these obvious plot inconsistencies and to theorize unnecessarily. But that's just my opinion. The game comes out once a year and I don't see anything wrong to see some hidden clue in a poster or a poorly written phrase in the dialog. People are bored, I get it.
Maybe he is. But I am notThe mc would still have to have feelings at some point or he wouldn't be there, right?
That's to bad, but I feel the same way when MC looking at Zoey or when Sage keeps hitting on mcMaybe he is. But I am not
