Calm down. No one has said anything about dropping Quinn. I am just pointing out that parts of the story dont make a lot of sense. Thats the whole point of these discussions. Just because you don't like my "devil's advocate" post doesn't give you a right to call me "pal" and be condescending. I realize its part of the story but that doesn't mean I need to like it. Its just part I have to deal with. Jeez take a chill pill already
Honestly when I read his comment, the thing that I kept thinking is that it's apparent the OP has a hard time empathizing with consequences for other characters instead of the MC serving as his own avatar. The AAA and others are bullies to the MC, so the player feels like the target, whereas Quinn is kind of a bitch to the MC, but is mostly a threat to other characters, especially the character who is integrated into the plot to the degree that you're expected to care what happens to her (Maya).
Fair enough, don't gonna say that you are wrong cause it's your theory nonetheless. It can go either way for me: Chad's sidechick being one of the HOTs or one relatively close to the MC or one who has nothing to do with the MC. Maybe it just depends on our choice to help Sage finding the sidechick or not
That's something I didn't like about AL, Melissa's route felt wrong. I hope we don't get anything similar here, but Jill and Bella are starting to look awfully similar...
Believe it or not you're not the first one to suggest that one...
We know she wasn't the one Chad was talking at the phone when we were sneaking around, because she was in the gym training. That pretty much rules her out.
Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't her "menu" optional? So for those who ignored it, it wouldn't make sense to make a big deal of this because they don't know enough.
we do not even talk to her about the restaurant, whether we have been customers (in that case we might not say it out of "shame") or if we are only aware of it
I lack empathy for people who abuse others. I personally believe they are a waste of oxygen. I don't like being railroaded in to drama when I can see how the MC could stop it but as moskyx said we aren't allowed to because of plot reasons
MC DOES try and tell her, though he doesn't tell her the details. The official walkthrough from DPC even notes "This decision has major consequences for Maya!" even though, to date, there are no consequences in the game.
Yeah its obvious to the player, but not to MC, or Sage, or anyone else close but still oblivious.
That you can see those consequences and the easy way to stop it does not necessarily mean that an 18 year old kid in their first week of college can either see the consequences or see the solution that's evident to someone with more life experience.
A lot of people thought that at first, until they were reminded that when Chad is here:
I'm actually going to make a 2nd chick-route save that accepts the info from Quinn explicitly for this reason. I may also have that character not pursue Isabella, in case messing around with Isabella makes some or all Jill endings unachievable.
It's a porn game with a chick's magnet, nothing was believable since the start. You're just taking things too seriously and personally.
Jesus, you're so easily offended. No wonder why a character like Quinn pisses you off.
And yet, you're the one complaining again and again.
But when we know about it, we can warn Maya. Why we can't warn another LI who's obviously going to be directly affected if things go south? I mean, it's OK if we can't do that, our MC might even assume she already knows it and doesn't need to be told. Either way I understand that's part of the plot, but if DPC gives me the option to warn Maya, I would like to actually have the option to speak loud and clear because I feel it would be the right thing to do for the character I'm playing. That's just an example of 'false choices' that detracts from immersion
However I find it hard to believe that the same 18 year old kid would let his potential LI (Maya) join a sorority that only offers free tuition to sisters who whore themselves out? Or warn another LI (Sage) that Quinn is screwing her over? You don't need life experience to know that is not ok. However we are not allowed to do any of that due to the plot. You don't hang your friends out to dry if you can save them, at least I don't.
The thing that, imo, makes this game one of the best VN type games you can find is that while the overall storyline is obviously unrealistic, the individual characters and scenarios are all reasonably realistic and quite well done - even the things that you'd normally describe as 'unrealistic' like the poly relationship. Suspension of disbelief is important, and this game manages to give you scenarios that are mostly realistic enough that you can achieve it in ways that a lot of adult games simply do not.It's a porn game with a chick's magnet, nothing was believable since the start.

The MC doesn't know that the free tuition = quinn's restaurant. WE do, because we see scenes that the MC doesn't see, and because we have better deductive and reasoning skills than he does. All he knows is that Quinn whores out some of the girls in the HOTs, and he tries to warn Maya about it in a way that isn't very effective, right before she more or less suggests she's considering fucking his brains out in order to get into the sorority, which uh, is likely to affect your judgment and the things you're thinking about at the time.
