It was kinda weird, taking my time going through the entire game again: I deleted the persistent files, so no skipping. Had to collect all the magazines and pack quest shit. I cheesed it with SanchoMod, but with him MIA I can only rely on the walkthrough if I need help for Episode 11 (thank Christ for that save fix of his). I think I heard some songs that were new to me too.
Bella's path is a slow burn, but it's worth it. I didn't learn anything new, or rediscover a lot, and yet it's extremely satisfying to see the relationship blossom. It isn't without it's share of obstacles, but I look forward to overcoming each and every one of them. A bumpy road, indeed.
If I had any complaints, it's that DPC relies a little too heavily on... I don't want to say Flanderization exactly, but sometimes he pushes the characters to be oversimplified. And by that I mean stuff like Butt-Gate, where Bella is incredibly annoyed at MC over the stupidest thing, or MC being overly obnoxious about watching porn (even though it led to a hot as fuck lewd). They're different people, at different stages in their lives, that already causes some friction, but it's typically much more natural than what I mentioned. Anyway I don't want to write an essay about the whole thing, and tomorrow I'll begin Sage's replay.
Bella best girl, nuff said
