Oh damn, I wanted to play with the playthrough where I rejected to sleep with Josy cause I wanted to stay faithful to Maya even tho at that time there was nothing going on between them, but in the end I stick with my first choice as these are more genuine. So glad I trusted my gut feelingYou have to have had "sex" with both of them to get the option to sleep on the floor
Episode 4 may only cover 2 days, but I think it still manages to pull its weight.Ep 5 definitely and I'd say it's a fairly common consensus that the spending the majority of the episode in a single free-roam location wasn't great becuase it slowed things right down and there wasn't a great deal of story advancement. Ep 4 was OK, although watering the plants at Bella's was a major pain, and with the HOTs you at least get a fair bit of steamy action by wandering around their house so it didn't feel quite as bad as ep 5.
But certainly the pacing of the first 3 episodes was good because we got through the majority of the first 2 weeks in those episode whereas eps 4 and 5 cover just 3 days.
Probably since their parents got together, but I'm not sure if Josy told the MC when her parents got divorced or her dad started dating/got remarried (she may have said, but I don't remember). He has been at college for 2 years, so it was most likely some time before that.So how long has Tommy wanted to bang Josy?

I think Tommy will be antagonistic, at least for a while. Not sure how serious the conflict will be or if it will end up with him and the MC becoming friends at some point. I don't see Tommy ending up being a major threat other than setting the MC up for something (he doesn't seem to be a fighter and being a killer seems unlikely). I could see him revealing the MC running around with all the other women on campus, but Josy and Maya could easily learn that from lots of sources including the other Hots. If the MC gets with Heather then there wouldn't likely be any reconciliation with Tommy and he'd probably do as much damage as he could.Does it seem to you like Tommy is being set up to be

It's true that Ep5 only covered 2 days, but I think it resolved quite a lot depending on which path you chose. If you're pursuing Sage as your main LI it advances your relationship significantly and if you didn't enter the threesome with M&J you can learn some important info that may help you pursue a relationship with Josy.Episode 4 may only cover 2 days, but I think it still manages to pull its weight.
With the branching paths we get a chance for another visit with the Pink Rose, wall-to-wall HOT vignettes, or more Bella buildup. We also get our first data with Jill (including notable character development and the closest shes had to a lewd scene), official FWB status with Sage, the long await tryst with Jade, and of course, Karen Rebecca Johnson. It obviously focused heavily on the Maya & Josy drama (possibly too heavily, especially given the flopped resolution), but it did advance other threads.
Episode 5, on the other hand, pretty much focused only on the MC's having lots of sex. We got a boatload of lewd scenes, but the actual relationships with the LIs are more or less where they were when we started the episode. Likewise, the few advancements to main plot threads we do get (like the destruction of the DIK mansion, or the MC officially joining the DIKs) feel empty because the status of the DIKs is so unexplained we have no idea what it means to be a DIK anymore.
In short, I think the fact that Episode 5 covers so little time is a symptom of the problem, not the actual cause.
all the aspects that being a Burgmeister would add to the story are essentially related to being rich, not to the surname.Additionally, if the MC's family are the Burgmeisters, it adds certain interesting wrinkles to the story.
- Rusty is now cut off from him his family money to use for the DIKs, but then the MC would have access to that same money and it could drive a wedge between him and Rusty and possibly even the DIKs if he chooses not to tell them or use the money to support the DIKs like how it was before
- The MC knows Maya needs tuition so he would now have the means to help her, but he could also choose not to
- Quinn is in need of money as well, albeit for reasons unknown to the MC, so she could manipulate/blackmail/seduce him into being her sugar daddy and solving her financial issues
- Jill might look upon him differently because I think she likes the fact that he's not a rich legacy like most of the people she seems to know, and she might be concerned that this new found wealth will change him
- EDIT: We also have the added benefit of pissing off Tybalt because this once poor nobody who Jill is interested in is now a somebody with a very important family name.
right now it seems to me that there are still no characters designated solely as antagonists.I think Tommy will be antagonistic, at least for a while. Not sure how serious the conflict will be or if it will end up with him and the MC becoming friends at some point. I don't see Tommy ending up being a major threat other than setting the MC up for something (he doesn't seem to be a fighter and being a killer seems unlikely). I could see him revealing the MC running around with all the other women on campus, but Josy and Maya could easily learn that from lots of sources including the other Hots. If the MC gets with Heather then there wouldn't likely be any reconciliation with Tommy and he'd probably do as much damage as he could.
I would suspect any real danger for the MC or other characters would come from the drug dealers Quinn is dealing with, although if the prediction of 16-20 episodes holds up I wouldn't expect that threat to mature for a while. There's a lot of speculation and I think DPC encourages that by putting in things people could assume mean various things (like the MCs comment when he kissed Bella in the library). I imagine after the next episode several theories will come back around and new ones will start popping up too. If nothing else all the speculation gives the fan population plenty to talk about while waiting for updates.
Edit: Don't think I answered the question. I don't really think so, but the game makes just about anything possible at this point.
yeah i would love to see the friendship between MC and Maya & Josy to be pure bliss. And that can't be achieved unless both the girls are honest about their their feeling for MC. But at this point it feels more like a burden than bliss.
I think the Events take place over 24 hours. By the time you get the jacket and are in the library I think it’s night again (could be wrong). I’d imagine next episode gameplay will start on Monday morning, perhaps in maths or English. Feels a long time since MC had an actual class lol.12-16 hours at most. Not even 1 full day for ep 5.
Its an interesting question. Josy is hot, I’m not sure how long they’ve been a family. The age difference should suggest he wouldn’t have been in to her when they first met, for example 17-14 is very different to 21-18. It could really be a familial relationship. That said we don’t know who is the main ‘family come first’ person in the DIKs. Could very well be Tommy. If that’s the case I can’t imagine he wants To fuck Josy, just on principal.So how long has Tommy wanted to bang Josy?
Lol but we need the drama, there has to be drama!!!!!!We've been over this before
1. It's not within Neil's character from what we've seen to keep something so important from his son especially when there's no good reason for it, your wishful thinking based off other forms of media isn't ample reasoning especially when there's zero evidence in game to support it.
2. Lets say that MC is a Burgmeister and his father chose hide it from him why not the fact his mother comes from big money in the first place?. The truth is MC wouldn't care too much about his lineage he'd be more hurt by his Father keeping something like that from him. MC didn't care much when he found out Jill was a Royce despite the fact that she tried to hide it from him. There's very little that would change with MC being a B vs another rich family. There's already a Burgmeister on campus that MC knows & associates with. Him being another would only add some shitty soap opera level drama of which this game has plenty of and doesn't need.
I was playing last night at a point in the story where you choose to be with Josy on the night you go visit her and was thinking. Should you turn her down and not stay the night, and not be pursuing Maya (I know there's thing's between them story wise that have to happen) So if you don't sleep with Maya then there isn't cheating right? So does that some how lessen the impact in the big reveal at the end of Ep3? Since the MC hasn't gotten too involved. (I have't played it through yet but just wondering)Oh damn, I wanted to play with the playthrough where I rejected to sleep with Josy cause I wanted to stay faithful to Maya
The way i see it is that every options are about blaming the grandparents exclusively and thus making certain that the nimbus of dad remain unblemished. As if dad must be the good guy in this story and so the grandparents have to be the bad ones, yes? No.The way I see it, we have 3 options:
Second cousins are not incest! All is good. Let the fun commence! ..come now, dad, don't be so old-school, i will use a condom."Son, you're a Royce. I'm sorry I never told you, I didn't think you needed to know."
MC pulls Jill into frame
"Dad, this is my girlfriend Jill. Jill Royce, we've been fooling around for a while and think I'm falling in love with her."
Dad's eyes go wide in horror
"So uh yeah evidently Dad, turns out I kinda did need to know, now this is all kinds of fucked up so thanks for that."
This is very interesting. Do we know how old the MC is? I don't recall reading an exact age. I would think his upcoming Birthday would be his 21st thus whatever is in the letter has been set up for years maybe even before he was born and by law the Dad is sworn to secrecy until he "Comes of age" at 21. The Dad did say that the letter was nothing to worry about and he did open it before you even asked him to so i'm not sure it's even something that will be that big of a deal?I see the same here What if dad has reasons to hide the past because he fears he'd lose us if he'd tell. Is afraid to come clean. Its a very legitimate fear for a parent. What if he himself never came to terms with that past. He couldn't let himself fall apart he had a son to raise. Not everyone crumbles under such pressure but the meantime keeps it in the closet unable to burry it for good. I suspect skeletons in dad's closet. But its just me.
as a "reader" of the story I must necessarily trust what I am told, until proven otherwise, otherwise it becomes too tiringThe way i see it is that every options are about blaming the grandparents exclusively and thus making certain that the nimbus of dad remain unblemished. As if dad must be the good guy in this story and so the grandparents have to be the bad ones, yes? No.
This idea deals with that 50% if them grandparents are to blame. I sign these. Sure thing no problem but this just 3 options from the angle IF they are the culprit here. What if dad is to blame.
Dad is a saint is seemingly hard coded in the fanbase here yet i prefer a more pragmatic approach. I will buy the "Elitist Grandparent" explanation as soon as we meet them and they prove it to be correct. Untill then lets not forget that it is Dad who keeps us away from them and not the other way around. It is dad who prevents us from making a judgement call. We are old enough. He could have said that okay, lets make a visit and you can see for yourself. But he isn't exactly eager to let us make the connection now is he.
We were a child before so yes, why not. But we aren't anymore. The reason we don't care about our grandparents.. is him. Solely. He instilled the idea in us that they are the bad guys. Nothing proves them to be beside his words. They aren't able to defend themselves or even put up a counter arguement now can they so we are left to believe whatever dad says. A very convenient position to be in.
Its very easy to manipluate the reader/player if the player believes everything the narration says while it was told from the point of view of an in-game character. The idea here is that players think the writer wants them to tell the hidden truth. I can't tell you how many times i tricked my players with such false narratives. It always works. They always expect likable NPCs to tell the truth as if they know the truth and have no other agenda beside transmitting storyteller info.
