They do care, none of the LIs will put up with the MC screwing around on them in the long term.
On long term yes, but i'm talking about the particular fact that you can't be a DIK and have Maya&Josy, even if they were being even BIGGER DIKs by fucking the MC while being on a relationship with each other.
Sounds like an assumption on your part. Were 5 episodes in and so far all the girls are ok with me screwing others.
My MC won all fights(except after he got suckerpunched at the locker room) And no I'm not a fighter but ya can't just hide all the time either
I don't think the affinity system is really well thought out or at least executed because of how the story ends up being. It would've made a lot more sense if the MC actually get to choose which house he'd aligned himself with but I guess that's too much work for a game in this format.Yeah, I don't see any reason why my CHICK status MC couldn't have asked Camila and Mona to get into the bathroom stall so he can fuck them, or why he wouldn't have the brass cojones to ask a hot milf stripper for anal.
So M&J know that the MC took Quinn's number to order off her menu? They know that he left Steve alone to cry in a cupboard? They know that he let Jade give him a handjob?Yeah, I don't think so.
There is absolutely zero reason they should reject him if he's been nothing but good to them if the MC made nothing but positive choices in favour of them, just like there is absolutely zero reason why he can't get Quinn to give him a little more when he has her pinned to the bed in ep 4, and absolutely no reason why he and Jill can't shower at the same time.
The affinity system is flawed because it creates a two-tiered system that doesn't properly connect with itself and creates great inconsistencies in the MC's character and actions when he can have an affinity in one direction and status in another.
You're probably referring to screen with 3 missing points, not 4. After losing 4 cap applies to opposite status's side. It's just confusing due to manual where it says "permanent penalty" whilst it doesn't apply right away how it should. It also the reason for some weird examples like you and others have listed (before getting the cap). System should be work better later on.
Yeah, it's a big downside, however a) it's arguable even here (something like "their guts telling them that MC is not actually sincere when saying all thouse nice things") and b) I might be wrong but pretty sure that most players are tending to one line of behaviour or the other which is making narrative more consistant for them to a degree.
I, for one. Despite my utter dissapointment regarding him in a recent episode I think there's still hope for Tommy in the future. Similiar to Sage, it's possible to unfold hidden depth, something like he's helping Quinn later discarding what he said to her "don't worth shit to me" or, more likely, something Josy-related - accepting some significant choice of her, or fixing some stuff he already did somehow. It highly unllikely though, he'd be rather brainless cheap drama/overall mess generator on par with Quinn and then plot will dispose of them .If your theory holds true then my take is that it has to be Riona, for impact reasons. I mean, does anybody really care if Tommy bites the dust?
Don't understand why he had to turn it into a physical alteration from the get-go, making the non-fighting options feel like jokes.
I really like Tommy's character, he holds a lot of potential.
I still disagree with this. According to you a Full DIK run has to be insincere when he says nice things, right? So assholes can't ever be nice and Nice guys can't ever be assholes? Or if they do their lying? To black and white. It doesn't work that way, the world has never worked that way
Nah, some people are just assholes and they are that way for their entire lives, never changing or getting better. Tommy seems like one of those people.
Arseholes can be nice and nice guys can be arseholes, congratulations, you have identified a different problem from the one being discussed. The real issue is that the LI's who favour the Chick version of the MC will hear about his Dik choices. The fact that he is a Chick in his heart and mind is of no consequence since they aren't psychic; they are forced to judge him by his actions and they're right to do so.
A prime example of how this system is surreal:
Sweet jebus, I'm still over 10 pages behind. I dare to hope you've got more of these around with the other characters. Riona, Camila, etc. These are outstanding.
So according to you I could treat a girl nice, do everything right as far as she is concerned. But because I beat up one guy and smoke weed one time I'm garbage?
The Dik/Chick bar represent the MC's actions, the Dik/Chick points represent his thoughts. Only the player of the game can know what the MC's thoughts are, the NPC's are forced to judge him by his actions.
Well, yes, obviously. The actions the hypothetical version of you (I say that to ensure you do not think I am accusing you of anything) take when not in her company should absolutely inform her decision making. If you are the sort of person who loses his temper and gets into fights all the time then she would be an idiot to get in a relationship with you since there is a non-zero chance that your violent tendancies (again, I'm decribing a hypothetical version of you) would be turned towards her.
