For me is more of a control problem, the player agency was taken away from me so he could react like that, like in persona 4 for example where the villain's way of choosing victims is obvious to me from the second victim, but the characters only figure out in like in victim number 4
Yeah but the characters don't have the god's eye perspective that you, as the player, have.

I always try to play as the character, not as myself, and make decisions that are consistent with what I believe they would do, albeit filtered through my own decision making.

yeah, I don't, I act like myself, but only using the information the game gives the Mc, that is why I don't like seeing things outside this perspective, or dream sequences, or past sequences that the Mc wasn't present for, and that type of thing, like, I hate the scenes where we get to see what Queen is doing behind the curtain because the Mc won't know that shit. like in the Josy/Maya thing, for me it wasn't a big deal, after all, we had the info that they had "boyfriends" although Maya reminded her statement after so this could be a reason to be angry, I guess, but it was an overreaction since I was seeing Jill, Bella and Sage at that point as well, I don't know, it just felt hypocritical since he never pursued that line of questioning in the first place as well

Yes but, and correct me if I've missed something, nothing we as players have been shown which would be outside of the MC's knowledge, has had any real effect. It's nice detail for us to have but he would probably make the same decisions if he knew what we know, or at least reach the same conclusions.

That's fair, MC wouldn't know about them that early and still wouldn't know the extent of it even now although he should know that neither of them are to be trusted.

The one I dreaded most right now is the consequences after that kissing scene with Sage and the conspiring between Melanie and Sarah.

In fact half of the theories in here stem from having god's eye view.

If you have to theorize you have to use everything, obviously. Another thing is if you want to roleplay, even if you roleplay as yourself, you should take into account what your character would do with the info he has, even if you do know something that he doesn't.

Which a lot of people don't, and then blame the MC for his immorality.

ok you just made feel so immoral ,, thanks :eek:
Don't worry, we're all here for the same reason. We're not here to play as Kwai Chang Caine as a celibate kungfu knowing monk or to witness all the dramas in Beverly Hills 90219. We're here to romance all the girls and conquer all the rewards and scenes, then after you get tired of fapping, start entering the door to the alternate universe and starts romancing a girl, then rinse and repeat.
