The thing with the DIKs was forced. And the issue with money can be forced too but why would it. If the rich family were to give money to the MC the family would want something back. Or they can just give him money and see what he can accomplish with it.
I usually wait a few updates before playing a game. But I've been looking for more completed games to play
Because its a HUGE potential branching path. DPC would have to create 3 new paths for everything. #1 Took Money and used it, #2 Took money but didn't use it, and #3 Refused money. He would then have to create story for all of those plus all the branches with the girls. It would probably just be easier for him to force it to cut down on the branches he has to create for. We are getting to the point where the potential branches are going to get exponentially huge. Starting to get a lot of potential variables in here.
That's true it would make more work for pinkcake. He has barely enough resources to make a episode, let alone 3 paths lmao.
It get's even more complicated when you start to look at those 3 choices in depth. Does the money, if he takes it, change the MC? Does he become a Tybalt, Rusty, or somewhere in between. Those would have serious implications for the game. Might be more than DPC wants to bite off.
True, It would seem that what ever is in the letter has to be forced. And i still highly believe it's the rich family.
The thing about Tommy is that while he is definitely an asshole, it seems pretty clear there's nothing personal about it. Unlike Chad or Tybalt (who have an axe to grind with the MC in particular), Tommy is just a self-centered jerk in general. The only reason the MC seems to get more of it is because Tommy is in a position of power over him, and Tommy enjoys power whenever he can get it (hence why he sticks so close to Rusty).
I agree and think this makes he most sense, whatever happens as a result of the letter will likely be forced.
If something like that were to happen, I'd imagine it would either be that the MC is given time to decide on what to do, i.e. until the end of the game, or he will simply be granted access to the money without any choice but can later decide (at the end) whether to keep it or shun it. Having it branch within the story would probably be too much as it would create two separate paths, but a few different renders and lines of dialogue with each of the LI endings would not likely be as much work.
It indeed would be fun, The letter has to be the next big thing to push the story further.
That would be somewhat interesting however, I'm certain a majority of people wouldn't care as they aren't close/friends with MC, and the only conflict I could see coming out of it would be Quinn trying to use MC as some sort of piggy bank for her own personal gain only to get rejected.
That's what I mean by "people at the college"; the DIKs, HOTs, Jocks, Bella, Jill, etc. Seeing how these people react to it is what would be interesting.
That would be the end of the story xD
If MC ever does get a large amount of money, maybe Jill and him could go Island shopping.
Forced is a strong word. Coming into money could just be part of the story, same as going to B&R - we didn't have a choice to not go to Uni either or not be a good guitarist etc. That's just baked in.

I agree, I believe and also want the MC getting the inheritance. In a way he could be the only child of the family meaning the only one to get the inheritance. Seems everyone is on the same page of what the letter might be. Now it would be a huge letdown it it wasn't anything of this sort. But somehow i doubt it.Forced is a strong word.

There is also nothing inherently "dishonorable" about getting money. People that win the lottery aren't bad, just lucky. Plenty of stories/movies have a protag getting an inheritance from a long lost relative they've never met, nothing wrong with that - until it turns out that the inheritance is a creepy old mansion with a book made of human skin in the basement that is
There is no moral dilemma unless there are major strings/conditions attached. e.g. It could be that the heir to the "Buffet" fortune recently passed away and MC is the only blood heir of the family alive. Grandad decides he has no choice but to name MC as inheritor - but we will only get it on graduation - so the choices will pertain to how the MC behaves as a rich/influential guy on campus and not a lame game of "choose what to invest in."
Having said that, we don't even know if the letter involves money or not. The chances are high tho because it has been foreshadowed twice. First in our conversation with Jill (where we joke about her buying islands) and second in our conversation with Maya outdoors where she specifically asks what the MC would do if he came into money.
