Other than how their alignment impacts a bunch of different situations, who they're dating, how certain characters feel about the MC regardless of dating or not, how previous events can impact future events etc. It all feeds through into future aspects of the game and can unexpectedly impact future decisions available to you. One interesting example is that if you chat up Cathy and get a blowjob from her on the car ride in episode 5 it actively fucks up your chances of dating Bella.

Meanwhile Interlude gives you a good dozen seemingly impactful choices but in the end it's the original Mass Effect 3 ending in how none of them carry forward outside of the Interlude.

If they carried forward, wouldn't have an issue with the Interlude. The fact they don't carry forward is why I find its existence frustrating.
but MC is still the same, no matter what you choose, MC is still fully involved in the Maya loan story , he is by default BFF with all of the main girl no matter what.

and Zoey is not the main character, anyway.
but if you want a dik Zoey who still have friends left after her trip. it is not enough to just skip, and burn the bridges with once choice.
and whether that will have an impact later or not, we don't know that yet.

May be it will be important when MC will have to hide from the cops, for the accusation of Rio's murder, what Vinny blamed on MC. . and Zoey will have a chance to help MC, and he will hide with Zoey friends in San Francisco, or where it was.
:coffee:

He's still involved in the "Maya loan story" because that's one of the main narrative arcs of the game and feeds into many other stories such as Quinn's drug business and prostitution ring. It'd be weird if you could just opt out of that.

And if Zoey isn't the main character or a main LI, again why spend months developing an Interlude just for her? That's why I regard it as the biggest waste of time thus far, because so little of it is actually brought into the rest of the game.

Either suddenly her role is going to become much bigger (which will mean many people having to replay large swathes of the game) or it doesn't, so is pointless.

Which is exactly how I feel after doing the Interlude. "Oh, it didn't actually alter her character in any deep, impactful way".
dude, its just a game. get a girlfriend and make babies if you want to shape a character.

edit: oh, this could be "off-topic"

i cant wait for the update of being a dik. because...uhm.....its going to be awesome! YES!

Will this be a percentage of how much of the dialogue we've seen in the game?
If it is, its not going to be easy to get 100%.
i hope so. in my favorite game there was one... i liked it very much.
Im legit so scared we don't get a scene with her now because Rio decided to get fucking kidnapped :cautious:
she decided? how do you do that?:unsure:
I think Leap of Fate had that, or was it only unique renders seen? It was bugging me how much I was still missing at the end of a run. :cautious:
it has for all the renders, not only unique.
i dont know how it work. maybe it will be only from ep11, because the season1+2 is separated game. so you wont know here how many missing in total.
I think that was percentage of renders seen, yes.
i remember it was certain number, not percentage. in badik what is and will be bigger, the percentage doesnt show how many missing from 99% to 100%

The year is 2025, and Interlude is still a subject of heated debate. Of course, spending 3 months to introduce a new important character from the MCs past, who will affect the future history is a terrible disaster on the background of global 10-15 years of development. 1.5-2% of the general time development.
I'd still rather the game be finished a quarter of a year sooner.
