What happened in AL was just... lazy, for the lack of a better word.

By consequences I meant a main LI telling you to take a hike because you couldn't keep it in your pants.
Or, in more extreme cases, something like ruining your relationship with Derek, because you broke his sister's heart and stole her girlfriend. If it ever comes to that.
I’m curious to see degree of choice impacts outside of who MC ends up with.

Funnily enough, I get the feeling this game is slowly but steadily trying to steer away from those established norms.
At least that's the impression I got from some of MC's inner monologues and conversations he has with some of the characters.
I don't believe the game will ever prevent or block you from pursuing all LIs, as well as all existing side girls, but I sure as fuck hope there will be consequences to that.
This is surely not a harem game, dont worry, there will consequences, no doubt about it. and the game is already preventing you from, one specific path. the threesome, or polygamy path with Josy and Maya. whether there will be optional solo route for them, is yet to be seen, but i won't be surprised, if the "let's just be friend", and later confirming your decision to derek, about that "you moved on", decisions is in fact a dead end for Josy and Maya. Acting Lessons, allowed the player to close down relationships, I don't see reason to believe Badik would be different. However, AL was a much shorter game, so I can see that Badik will allow the player to be more flexible, and these permanent decision will come out later, after all we are still in early stage, as much as a surprise for some people, considering that we soon to be at ep6 . :D

I can definitely see this happening eventually. But as I said, not this early. Right now I'm more worried about the Chick/Dick meter, if in every episode we have a major decision, soon there will be no decision left.
it would be nice to see an answer about this from DPC.

We had that in AL too when Leah reveals all the stuff the MC has done with other girls and it obliterates any chance at a relationship with Megan or Melissa, and that didn't go down well either.

Upsetting the established order of the MC's life and essentially giving players a "jerk MC" ending, even if he has objectively been a bit of a jerk, is a low blow for people who want to have a little bit of their cake and eat it too. Even if they can't get everyone, they at least want to get someone and without having a massive blowup with the ones they don't get. It may not accurately reflect real life, but it's not meant to and that's what makes these games so appealing.

starting from the premise that in these games the concept of "perceived" NTR seems to be a very diluted version, it seems to me practically impossible that the game can end without it.

if MC fails with Maya and Josy there will be 99% NTR (not 100% because I believe the couple could break out anyway, but I remain humble)

if MC fails with Bella there will most likely be NTR

if MC fails with Sage there will probably be NTR

at present only with Jill there is no risk of this scenario, but the suitors are not lacking

and personally it also seems right to me, otherwise the girls we don't care about or with whom we fail should disappear into oblivion
To be fair he did it with Rena in AL so hardly should be big issue
I’d like to see character epilogues for main and side
So etc Jill/mc(positive), Jill set up with rusty(positive), Jill lonely (slightly sad)

such a situation is acceptable for the linearity of the game, and it is likely to be so

but I wouldn't talk about consequences, cause and effect

the player could be forced to accept the path of friendship only (it is not that the refusal gives pleasure), and also letting go of the confusion of the moment, why should he confess to the brother of one of the two girls what he feels?

You forgot 'Jill set up with Derek'. Now THAT would be hilarious.

oh and one more thing, peoples also have to understand one simple thing, this is not an actual RPG! .it has elements of it no doubt, but The decisions and consequences will be limited in some degree, we basically reading a book, or an old fashioned pen and paper and dice, Role-Playing book. The story was set in the stone, you just see different chapters, based on how lucky you were with the dice, and with some of your choices.

"There is a crossroad in front of you, if you want to go left, go to page 136. if you want to go right, go to page 231. ".

in my opinion, this is the closest description of Badik.

He's talking about conversations that already happened in Chapter 5...
me too...

Why would MC trust Derek 100% in that case?

if he had an interest in Maya would he be sure Derek wouldn't tell her something and put her on the defensive? and likewise for Josy

Couldn't trusting Derek also have consequences?

Okay... I think I'm not understanding your point here... because (depending on your conversation choice) the MC already did exactly that at the end of chapter 5, telling Derek he's moved on. Are you questioning the MC's motivation for doing so, after he's already (potentially) done it?

I think that's what we're going to see depending on the choices we make; one happy ending for each LI with the MC, a happy ending for each LI without the MC, and a sad/not so great ending for each LI without the MC, then the ending a player gets will be a mixture of these. For example, the MC gets a happy ending with Sage, Jill gets a happy ending, M&J get separate sad endings, and Bella gets a sad ending, or the MC gets a happy ending with Josy, Sage and Jill get sad endings, and Maya and Bella get happy endings, etc, etc.

Because He is his best friend?! it is a way for player to confirm his decision. If it's Rejection, well then your earlier decision set you to that direction in the first place. In that regard, I do have to admit I don't have knowledge, I was not rejected, so I dont know how and what way the conversation with Derek changed , but it is not excluded it will have effect in that way too for the future. and that is the purpose of the conversation, I assume.

Yesterday I saw the scenes at the party of chapter 5 of when Josy and Maya reject you and both girls cry you knowing that that decision was made very hastily.

First there is Josy that she tells you that she likes you but loves Maya she did not want the relationship of 3 for fear of losing both of them since she mentions that she is still surprised that Maya likes a man and she could not look Maya in the face because she did not know how to tell her to let him go out with you for a while here she does not mention her to

She just the two of you and on the part of Maya when you follow her in the house apart from telling you about her family problems she also talks about what happened in episode 4 she also regrets not being able to have a relationship with you and she starts crying like Josy the MC tells her that because she didn't say anything if not that I accept being just friends and she tells him that she has never have choice in her life for decided somentine since all her life they have the father always decided for her and both girls like each other but she also likes you despite what was decided a in chapter 4 I think and that between them they will see more dramas than with the others

now I don't remember if it depends on the path followed but MC can tell Derek that he feels something for one of the two girls or that he doesn't care anymore

I contest that this answer must be written in stone and be so decisive

it's our choice what to answer to Derek, why do we have to trust Derek?

then I understand that 99% I am wrong, and that otherwise it would be indicated "hide the truth from Derek"

Derek tells you that Maya told him what happened, and he directly asks you if you're okay or if you still have feelings for either. You can answer 'feelings for Maya', 'feelings for Josy', or 'Neither'. I agree that this dialogue option might be very important for possible relationship scenarios moving forward, potentially opening or closing off romance paths. It does seem early for that to happen... but it sure seems structured that way.
