Sex scenes aside (it's a porn game after all
), the three paths provide perspective on characters.
Sage's path gives an insight into The HOTs's daily living. Their rules, the way Sage delegates to Quinn, their dynamics. We get more backstory for Sage and Riona. Quinn's troubled crush for the MC becomes more evident. We see how much Ashley is uncomfortable with HOTs' standards unlike Lily. We can observe the way Sarah and Melanie treat their respective daughters...
Bella's path is totally focused on her. If you don't choose her path, she has no screen time in the episode, except the library scene with Josy and Jill.
Derek's path is maybe the least interesting, but it gives you the opportunity to bond more with Derek, Rusty and even Tommy. We also discover why the MC was naked after the crazy night in the strip club
.
So it's better to play the three paths to get the bigger picture.
