I obviously meant that when we can play the full game we'll see some consequences from choices that now leave us a bit frustrated because they don't seem to have an actual impact right now.
I'm sure DPC knows the main story he wants to tell, maybe he's a bit overwhelmed by the potential branching he has created while trying to avoid the 'kinetic novel' feeling, but I guess some judgements about it should wait till the completed game
Josy would stop her 100%
Again, that is the nature of fictional stories but you just have to roll with it and accept it for what it is. It's like in the Austin Powers movies where they make that tongue-in-cheek jab at the Bond movies by pointing out how they could just shoot Austin Powers in the head when they have the chance rather trying to use some elaborate, over-the-top method of killing him.
What can he tell her? "I fucked Camila's ass through a glory hole after I called up Quinn"? I don't think that's quite what Maya was looking for when she asked the MC to be honest with her and the MC has the good sense to keep that to himself, not just because of how Maya would react to that, but also because he doesn't know the full story of why Camila did that. He just knows that it happened after calling Quinn which causes him to be wary of her and he simply tells Maya to be wary as well which is really as much as he can do at this point.
The storyline is self defeating because Quinn invites Maya to join the HOT's and yet we know that Maya doesn't have the personality to whore herself out.
If anything, on the relationship path you learn more about exactly how vulnerable and alone Maya is. If you enter the 3 person relationship, there's a scene where Josy needs to meet with her dad who has brought her stuff from home. This scene can happen if you are friends with them (Josy will ask the MC to come). If they are in a relationship, MC agrees w/o you getting a prompt.
That might save sage’s college career but not her role or sorority.
DPC has said that they have all the major story beats planned out in terms of both what they are and when they will happen, but everything else is made up as they go. So they basically write each episode as they come whilst also incorporating some of the major story elements along the way in whatever episode they are planned to be in.
I think you're overlooking the extra layer of tension from Maya considering herself a lesbian. That she is considering doing this stuff with MC - who she clearly cares about and is the first guy she's ever been attracted to - despite, uh, being in direct conflict with her own sexual identity, is a significantly bigger choice than just 'mess around with a guy to get into the sorority'. The early dirty scenes with Maya make it pretty clear she has some significant mixed feelings about even being attracted to a guy in the first place.
The only place here I'd disagree with you is motive. I'd agree Josy has a more openly sexual personality, but the game goes out of its way to make clear that her dad and her have made up and he's saved to pay her tuition. She doesnt NEED the money.
There are a million ways to have that conversation without telling Maya everything. I guess I would rather ruin my relationship with Maya by telling her everything than allow her to walk blindly into a situation where she could get hurt. I'm not that selfish to endanger someone over a desire to get my dick wet.
So minus the sex, i didn't miss out on anything really. Probably too early for any major changes in her personality.
She is deluding herself then. I guess I was spared all that by not being involved in the greek scene when I went to school. I also have never really cared what others thought of me as a person. Honestly I have only really worried about what I think, after all I'm the only person I have to see in the mirror everyday. As long as I am happy with who I am that's good enough. I just can't understand how someone could be so wrapped up in what someone else thinks about them that they would sabotage themselves in order to achieve that.
In that theoretical scenario, She may want to protect her people as Best she can.
What is exactly makes the MC selfish in this situation? He fucked Camila through a gloryhole, but how does he know that she didn't do that of her own free will? How could he know that Quinn is making her do it? All he knows is that he called Quinn and then he fucked Camila. That's it. He doesn't have the full the context so there isn't much to really tell Maya. All that's really happened is that he got sex after he called Quinn and it's made him a little wary of her. He has no reason to suspect that Maya is in any kind of danger with Quinn, but just that Quinn is a bit dodgy and Maya should also be wary.
MC isn't necessarily a user of the service and doesn't necessarily have that information to share with Maya in the first place - you can refuse the number, and you can also accept it and never use the service. The warning scene is placed (intentionally, I imagine) prior to any opportunity for you to use Quinn's services so that there don't have to be branches of MC's warning based on what he knows so early in the game. He tells her what any playthrough would know (Quinn's up to no good) prior to having access to any more specific information.
I did answer that you missed it. I am not going back to find it. We have added 10+ pages in just this series
I mean that's mostly a pretty healthy attitude but I have a hard time believing anyone who tells me they've never in their life experienced an unhealthy, dangerous peer pressure scenario. Even if you weren't popular or didn't have many friends, this stuff comes up. I was far from a popular kid in high school or college, but I still can tell you a story about when some friends of mine decided they wanted to find out what I was like when I was drunk (I never drink), convinced me to come out with a club with them and then pressed me to drink dramatically more than I intended, leading to one of the only nights of my life I literally don't remember. Peer pressure happens in almost every social scenario, but especially so with young people, and people who are lonely, insecure or isolated pretty much constantly make bad decisions because of it.
The player isn’t certain of her bad motives. We don’t know where all the money is going yet.
