What changes between dik and chick for Sage's route? I'm curious because I only ever go chick or neutral in runs where I'm only pursuing Bella or Jill, so I always refuse Sage early on. I'd also like to know what happens if you do a chick run and choose Sage but only after rejecting her until episode 7. I just don't have the time to play all these sub-paths.
For Sage there arent really any changes. Chick, Dik, doesnt really matter... only very slight changes in the sexscenes cause some actions are ruled out if the MC is not a dik. If you refuse her the whole time and only start somethign with her in ep 7 or not doesnt matter either, but it feels VERY odd.... like... seven episodes "nah i dont want Sage" and than... "oh come on lets start something serious", its weird...

Either way, the biggest difference as chick or dik with Sage is... you can have a threesome with Sage and Quinn as a dik. That is not possible in a chick run, but only cause Quinn is not interested in a chick MC. So....yeah... Sage as Dik or Chick doesnt really matter. Wouldnt be surpised if there are some more Threesome (or even more girls involved) opportunities wth Sage along the road, maybe for a chick MC too, like with Lily for example would be a good fit, or MAYBE even with Josy and Maya? Dont know but Sage is obviously the one Maingirl who likes to "share" the MC in consent.

But overall that feels odd to me too, there are enough sidegirls who dont want something serious with the MC and would share him with anybody... for a serious relationship with Sage in the very early stages, this is just... strange. Which is the reason why i dont like the Sage path that much. It just doesnt feel right to me, it has its moments, even romantic ones... just to kill those moments all together one scene later. I cant take the relationship path with Sage serious, it doesnt work that way. Yeah its a porn game, but a porn game with at least some kind of "Standard" to not to be too dumb about the porn fact. About dumb porn scripts... we in germany are provided with a all time classic in porn history for other folks with english sub ;) Which kinda sums up 99% of all porn logic together in one little dialogue. And i dont like totally dumb porn. And the Sage route does provide "dumb porn" logic just way too much, just like the threesome with Quinn out of the blue.

Sage barely changes between DIK and CHICK. I’ve done both DIK and CHICK runs with her, and my GF is in the middle of a big-CHICK run with her. She’s a bit of a DIK herself, but she’s hot for the MC regardless of how he leans.

But if you want that threeway with Sage and Quinn, you’re not getting it if your CHICK behavior has alienated Quinn. I’ve found that Quinn will fuck the MC in the threeway if he’s a CHICK—so long that he’s always been a DIK to her.

As for getting with her at the HOT party instead of fuck-buddying her: Barely changes.
:unsure:, is that so?.....:unsure::cautious:

It is up to the player to choose what type of relationship they want with Sage.
Chick Sage is the romantic way. When Chick plays with Sage in ep10, on their date they talk about what they like about each other, and MC himself opens the car door before Sage's date. It's somewhat similar to Jill's way, the only difference being that Sage isn't as uptight and shy as Jill.
Dik Sage is the typical Sage way. She loves sex, loves sexual experimentation, and wants to try a lot of things before she graduates from college.
It is up to the player to choose what kind of Sage he wants to be. The most important choice seems to be a threesome with Quinn. The game doesn't impose a pattern of behavior on you and that's cool.
What's interesting is this ending with Sage.
She herself says she's leaving town as soon as she finishes college, and MC plans to finish college. It's a repeat of the Zoey situation, isn't it?
I can even imagine a situation where MC and Sage are sitting on a train station bench, the player can confess that he loves her or just keep quiet. DPC revealed his cards too soon.

Hmmmm....

So It seems that Maya is more lesbian then Josy.

1) Maya accepts the break-up much easier
2) Maya literally thirst after other girls
3) Maya easily moves on from Ex-GF to friend/buddy
4) Maya does not seem to be romantically interested in the MC at all after the break-up
5) Maya seems to prioritise Josy above MC in relationship pecking order
6) Maya was immediately for an open relationship with MC and other girls.
7) But yes, Maya and Josy have a rocky relationship at best. IMO it will not last either way. They fight a lot over stupid shit.


Contrast that with Josy.
1) Josy cannot handle the break-up at all (Especially if MC is with another girl)
2) Contrary to Maya, Josy are not interested in other girls at all.
3) Josy in every situation lets the MC knows that she still wants him after the breakup.
4) Josy is not able to move on from seeing the MC as a romantic partner. (They are never just friends again)
5) I think Josy preferred MC over Maya in the relationship pecking order.
6) Josy admits that it was wrong to let the MC have an open relationship and she regrets it.
7) If MC pursues Josy solo, I suspect Josy will breakup with Maya in a heartbeat.

TLDR; Josy is not over the MC, regardless of the path you play. (I do not have a path where MC were never in Maya Jose relationship so do not know that one). Maya instantly moves on after their breakup and becomes normal friends again.

Look, I love Maya from the very start, but it is clear which one of the two are more into the MC romantically.

Maya certainly handles things different. But she (depending on the path conditions) is in love with MC. We are critical of Maya for many reasons. But in this case, she went above and beyond in her personal loss of MC. It cuts like a lightning bolt of reality in MC, so he knows absolutely, the totality of the loss; for Maya, and MC. Hard hitting.

Given the age gap, and progress of their educations, I never expected an ending for Sage and MC where they were together after she graduated. But imagine an epilogue 10 years later where MC is at a business conference, sitting at a table and a mirror of their first scene plays out.

arrived at the epilogue such a choice would not make sense, why would a player choose to be silent? if he got there he has only Sage as a possible choice

if there is going to be such a scenario then it will be the choices made that will decide not so much what MC will say but what Sage will answer

the dialogue at the restaurant is not that I liked it very much, it highlights a situation that we already knew about and the 2 main characters instead seem not to grasp at all the consequences that when said will have on their lives. we are talking about a scenario that will occur after a few months (for them...) and yet they are calm and serene

The relationship between Sage and MC is at a very early stage, he was only able to admit at the end of ep10 that Sage is his girlfriend, and in his conversation with Zoey he was unable to determine the status of their relationship.
Obviously it's too early to have these conversations, but they can't be avoided if their relationship is going to get more and more serious. Sage herself says that she will decide what kind of future she sees only after the winter exams, which is most likely only the beginning of season 4.
But if Sage does leave and MC stays in college there will probably be another ending where he started dating other girls to just move on with his life like there was in Zoey's time. It would be Josy or Maya, the universal girls for all endings.

Jill might be all over the place, but she puts up with certain things from the MC because she's into him. That's definitely real life. Hence, so many people hook up with people they have no business being with.
In this case, the match can be pretty good, with the player's and dpc's help. Because the main thing she needs is some guy to talk with her about how she imagines sex, and when he understands that, do exactly that for her. But you are right, the world is full of horn dogs who would not do that, and that would make them very wrong choices for her.

The other things she needs is for him to not mess around, and to be a little less wild. Ok, he is on his way to growing up. There is good chance he will get there, most guys do in time. Besides which, she might like some wildness in him knowing who her sister and her mother are. So, who is she? She is super smart and super capable, and definitely sexual, you bet.

Sage is the one who has trouble exposing herself in this relationship, it falls to MC to play the role of the one who has to constantly put pressure on her for anything.

but just considering this, the dinner becomes even more grotesque, it almost seems as if Sage is giving MC a foretaste of goodbye, and he, after all the insistence on being serious, on not wanting to be either fuck buddy or rebound guy, seems to miss the point of what they are talking about at all. o_O

up to that point he might not have thought about it, or he might not even have wanted to think about it, but once the topic is there it has to be addressed, instead they seem to be exchanging fishing tips, neither of the 2 appear to be bothered by the prospect of having to say goodbye in a few months.

if it were Lily or another sidegirl at that dinner, it would be fine, but with Sage MC has insisted to the point of boredom that it is an important relationship, it is not believable that he would so accept the prospect of a termination so close to everything they are

this is a scene that serves more to remind the players that they will have to face painful choices, but it seems to me to be completely out of focus in the reactions of the 2 main characters, who don't seem to know what they are talking about
