Ok so, I partially understand the public reaction towards how things went down with Josy and Maya in episode 4,in comparison to how Doc usually handles things and how he handled the other main girls this part was a bit off (referring only to content that cannot be controlled by MC ) but I stress the fact that its not really like that because you can have both:
1. Full closure, as some mentioned or requested.
2. Continuance towards aiming for something more, with branching available - need to stress this as much as possible
So all is not lost, I can assure you that future updates will patch this up to a certain extent, Doc tends to do that... he is currently the best out there in my opinion and he invests a lot of heart in this project.
I had, more or less, the same reaction after finishing this update with my main and single save/playthrough and yes I did get annoyed because of this and I blamed the stats/affinity/path system but after reviewing a few things and putting two and two together I realized that the parts I did not like were caused by my choices in game ( both major and minor ). I am sure that a lot of you have done the same but maybe have not realized it yet. As I said, after reviewing a few things and talking to some users from this thread I have finished setting the field for my 2nd playthrough which is going to become my main and I am 90% convinced that things should go down differently (it will be a DIK stats playthrough mostly but with small tweaks here and there, mentioning this because I know that most prefer this path and I am included among them). I strongly recommend that a lot do the same, also because you will be less distracted by our beautiful protagonists this time around and you will be able to focus more on the story and its impact
). As for me, I will update my post after I have done this and I will be able to say if I managed to get/create the ideal playthrough so far, which from what I have read throughout the thread is kind of the same result that the majority wants.
Are some girls better than others from multiple standpoints ? Hell yeah, at least for the moment - I am currently on Team Sage and I think I will stay that way until we get A LOT more content but you never know because I am sure that Doc will surprise us ( no seriously , I mean that ), If the surprise is enough to tip the scales in another's favor I might change my choice.
Jill and Bella - Yes I know we don't have content for them as we do for the others, yes I know that so far with them its just mood swings and talking and trying to understand stuff and even sometimes taking a load of crap BUT they kinda' are the good girls in this story. What did you expect? I am sure that Season 2 will have a lot more planned for them and then we should be able to make a solid opinion/choice in regards to what's what until then... well I guess its safe to say that they are somewhat of a side character.
Again, I apologize for the wall of text and appreciate those who read and comment.
