Question: If Arieth is as dumb as we think why isn't she on the menu? I don't think Quinn would let an opportunity like that pass right? She could literally take advantage of her stupidity by saying there's a bunch of horny dude in the stall waiting for you.
I'm thinking that maybe Quinn already assumes or knows she has an STD & that's not good for business. They need repeat customers.

However Neil lying to his son for almost 19 years about the death of his mother would totally destroy the MC's trust and relationship with his father. Might as well just kill him off at that point, same shit.

Unless that's what Neil assumed (She's dead)? It's possible Lynette's family paid hospital/people off to keep her away from Neil. If this was true that would be one hell of a plot twist. But, I also don't think DPA is that deep.

the problem is never the plot twist itself.

the problem is its explanation, which must be credible and not forced.

as in the case of Bella's husband, we can now accept some of her behavior, but to the explanation must be adequate, otherwise everything collapses

That's not really forced if it's been foreshadowed in some way we all may have overlooked. Like that newspaper with the rescue of people at sea. Idk, just saying, there could be more than a simple storyline of sex, and drugs. With powerful families in this game, anything is possible.

That's a bit of a stretch and a long con if it was the case then Neil might have done it to protect the MC but no I'd say she's dead it's just too much a revelation like that would break the MC and one thing I wouldn't want to see is some drama between Neil and the MC we got enough going on without that. Plus Neil seems like a stand-up guy and has gone out of his way to provide what he can for his son.
I get your point but to me its kind of futile to ague about it on the basis of story realism .
DPC is creative enough to design a scenario to fit the narrative smoothly and drop a bukkake of drama on it
but he hasn't done it ....not just mother even sisters,aunts and grandmas are absents....is both of his games..why?
I think its Simply to keep the "motherfuckers" out
once he introduces any attractive female relative the huge incest crowd would flock around asking for the forbidden and he might have to make tough choices to disappoint people
killing the mother at the start was psycopathic but clever move by dpc to avoid these situations

turning a teen school drama into an international crime story can be considered forced according to me :D

Then where has Lynette been for 19 years? Hiding with her family that she already left to be with Neil in the first place and abandoning her son? Can't see it.

It's a rare scenario, but IRL one of my friends has never met her mother. After she was born, her mother walked away and didn't want anything to do with my friend or her dad.

Having said that, I fully understand why it is highly unlikely to be the case in this game, because of what Neil said, as well as having a letter about the mother.

I'm not saying it isn't possible. However from my point of view if my mother had abandoned me at birth then came back into my life after 19 years and wanted anything from me I would tell her to go fuck herself. I can't even imagine a scenario that would lead me to forgiving her in that instance. Nor can I imagine Neil not telling me that over the phone in reference to the letter. Why would he be supportive of the letter if she had abandoned him as well? Starting to get a lot of hypothetical's attached to this theory in order for it to work. To Twilight Zone for me.

The thing about twists is that they come in 3 categories which I will call the should've seen it coming*, the makes sense in retrospect** and the mindfuck*** (there's also the badly written but we'll ignore that). This whole 'MC's mother is secretly alive' theory is in the second category where it is entirely possible for that scenario to be true but, since it can only make sense after the reveal, it is something nobody can work out in advance (the second type is the worst type, imo)

*Example would be The Sixth Sense (1999) where all the clues are clearly presented, such that it is possible to work out the twist long before the reveal.

**Example is Trance (2013) where a salient fact is only revealed at the end which, while consistent with everything that's gone before, could not be worked out ahead of time.

***Example, The Usual Suspects (1995) where the use of the unreliable narrator trope means the twist is impossible to see but for entirely justifiable reasons.

Have you seen what's on Netflix or in books? It's all teen school drama. Just look at Riverdale
out of 100 stories how many undergo a complete change like that?

and the clue would be that we were not present at the funeral.

it continues to seem forced to me, and today without traces of explanations or even of finality
