You, sir, I salute as an optimist .

And being an optimist with faith in humankind is a good thing!

Me, being the sceptic that I am however, have far less faith that persons who don't even read the OP or scroll a few posts back would even attempt to look around in people's signature for answers.

If people seriously want it, the solution would seem to be to create a separate FAQ thread for those that just want quick answers for releases, brawler tips or where to find x render in x free roam etc. There is precedent for this being done for threads that get seriously large. "Man of The House," for example, another game thread of 2000+pages has its own FAQ and Walkthrough thread that itself is almost 200 pages. As owner of this thread, I guess it's up to N7 whether he wants one or not, but it seems like win/win to me. Peops that just want quick answers can far more easily find it, while peops that want to share views, comment, theorize would be more free to do so w/o the mods worrying that it makes info harder to find...and with this game not even halfway done yet, thread's only going to get much, much larger.

Yeah the idea is good but people tend to consult other people before doing a quick Google search so expecting folk to check a FAQ topic seems a little far fetched

Why do so many characters in this game have bloodshot eyes? I understand that the ones that are implied to be drug addicts have them, but why the blonde teacher too?

Is the coronavirus gonna be revealed as a plot point?

Maybe they've seen so much their eyes bleed

At least Melissa fan got it right away without having to make endless posts of some fanfic. I thought the end choice with Maya and Josy was clear enough 'something more' Romance route 'Remain friends' Friendship route

After it had been clearly stated that this was DPC's official stance. Clearly, like me, they weren't aware of this either until you finally decided to mention what DPC had said. Up until that point, to the ill-informed eye, all responses to my posts just looked like conjecture.

So, once again, don't blame me for positing reasonable theories (not fanfic) when none of you could be bothered to clearly state that there was no point in theorising because DPC had stated their path would be closed here. Seems Maya and Josy aren't the only ones who are bad at communicating.

 

[Anthony11553]

the real question is why would you want to romance Josy or Maya in the first place

 

[Mormont]

Again that end choice with Maya and Josy was so obvious even if you had no idea about the closing off to pick being just friends with them lets you pursue the other girls just like there are cut off points with them. Not really about communicating but more along the lines of common sense.

nope

What's obvious is that we're 4 episodes into a potentially 20 episode game with still so much story left to see. I can easily imagine several scenarios in which the friendship with one or both of them could re-evolve into romance. Just because he lets them go at this juncture didn't necessarily have to mean it was the end.

DPC has decided to make it the end, fine, but they could just as easily have not and it's not unreasonable or lacking any common sense to imagine how that might have been possible.

I am still helding up DPC pulls it together and gives it another chance to the MC at be with one of them, even if he chosen the Friendship route in ep 4. A nice way to set it up would be the relationship not working (again) and them splitting up, give each other time to figure it out, allowing the MC to step in. I am helding hope because I HATE DPC forcing double romance routes like in AL, which served its purpose in the storyline... but yet again, the choices are either be with both or none, which sucks if you've been playing on banking on one girl and not the other (like I did). And between BOTH and JADE, go figure whats the best choice.

That part is not set in stone yet though on the romance route it's more likely that there will be an option to get Maya or Josy alone I believe he is keeping them on the same path for now so it's less branching for now but a separate route may happen eventually.

 

[Melissa fan]

If you want Josy one day then you'll have to pick the be something more option if you pick the friend option it will lock you out of future relationships with them you'll still get scenes with them of course just not as a romanceable option. I'm glad you understand though I wish someone else would I'm done with that just like others probably are

My main playthrough is reserved for Riona or Sage if she isn't a choice but I do have another playthrough that I accepted the threeway ready for a possible Josy route.

What's obvious is that we're 4 episodes into a potentially 20 episode game with still so much story left to see. I can easily imagine several scenarios in which the friendship with one or both of them could re-evolve into romance.

I think it is best that rejecting someone means closing their romance for good even with a game that isn't even a quarter done. Some people will reject Jill because they don't like her and it would get really annoying having scenes where the MC shows interest in her and has to reject her often. Also if I am with Sage then having a chance to go back to Jill doesn't make sense.

That part is not set in stone yet though on the romance route it's more likely that there will be an option to get Maya or Josy alone I believe he is keeping them on the same path for now so it's less branching for now but a separate route may happen eventually.

I was thinking they would be together for a while so it is less work on Josy and Maya routes which would give DPC more time to work on the Quinn and Bella stories. I do believe that in late season 2 or even season 3 there will be a chance to get either Josy or Maya.

A nice way to set it up would be the relationship not working (again) and them splitting up, give each other time to figure it out, allowing the MC to step in.

This is one of those reasonable theories I was talking about. Without knowing the friendship route was a complete dead-end as far as being able to rekindle a romance later on with one or both of them, this is something that seemed very plausible.

I am helding hope because I HATE DPC forcing double romance routes like in AL, which served its purpose in the storyline...

They may have forced it, but then they swiftly unforced it in the most heart-wrenching way possible. Hopefully that won't happen again here.

but yet again, the choices are either be with both or none, which sucks if you've been playing on banking on one girl and not the other (like I did). And between BOTH and JADE, go figure whats the best choice.

I both do and don't mind choices like this because in the real world, choices do have consequences and certain choices mean you don't get to do certain things, but at the same time I feel that, since this is fiction, we shouldn't be locked out of seeing and doing certain things and can simply face the consequences for doing them later rather than have the consequence be that you're locked out of a scene.

Yeah, I think that would make it easier and less of a workload considering the number of other paths there is with other girls I think that's often forgotten at how big these paths are, season 2 especially needs more content on with the likes of Jill I still feel as though we have barely scratched the surface with her.

Season 2 needs much more Quinn and with 10 000 checks along the way so only I can get them all,thats what season 2 needs

On M+J,storywise,it also makes sens that the girls simply are not yet ready to give up on one another

 

[aarbei23]

Season 2 needs much more Quinn[...]

That's a weird way to spell "Bella" .

 

[imunisasi]

HopesGaming = The Father (obvious mafia reference)
DPC = The Son (younger characters; maggots and daughters... makes sense to me)
PhillyGames = The Ghost (needless to say why)

nah i prefer replace hopes with orborigin and cheekygimp,
deluca is good at art and story but hard to play

That's what I dont like about it, should had been a choices, not just BOTH or NONE. DPC should had giving you the option to at least make the MC tell them thats neither the options he wants. I've been playing the game without giving a rat's ass about Josy and yet DPC expect me to just share and accept it at that point? Yeah, I chose not too in order so I wouldn't break my RPG playthrough. Love DPC, hated what he done with the situation, but still hoping he can fix it, maybe with the Steam player base he will force himself to expand it further than he planned before.

That was the outcry after 0.4 was the choice with those two but we weren't given that choice to completely ignore them because this is DPC story and they are going to still play a part in that even if you didn't pick the romance route, I'm sure they will have an important role in the story to what extent on the friend's path I don't know. Most likely a situation will arise with Josy and Jill and their connection with the MC.
