She does not look much older than them, if they are between age 18-21, Envy can easily be 28 even.And no woman in the history of the world has ever lied about her age
Neither does Bella imo. In all seriousness, I believe that she probably is telling the truth about her age (although knocking 2 or 3 years off would be understandable in her job).
Doesn't mean they'd hop right into bed if he returned. He'd be an obstacle for us, sure, but not necessarily a rival. Sage has a bf and players tolerate it because the most intimate thing they've done as far as we know is a kiss on the forehead.I mean theres still a chance that this game gets some kind of pseudo NTR in the form of Bella's husband. If he returned it wouldn't be NTR because your not going steady with Bella but people would call it that anyways.
Bella's age isn't really up for speculation. There's no exact date given in-game but she does mention that her OMG sorority initiation was roughly 18 years ago so she can't be far off from 36.Bella does looks older than Envy , in my opinion, 33-35.
If he returns at this point, we might need a 'supernatural' tag.I mean theres still a chance that this game gets some kind of pseudo NTR in the form of Bella's husband. If he returned it wouldn't be NTR because your not going steady with Bella but people would call it that anyways.

What's to say that her husband didn't cheat on her / leave her, or that perhaps she did? Didn't she says she 'forgave him' or something along those lines?Or Zombie

I agree... I was just joking because of the 'dead husband' theories. Relax.I'm quite sure Bella's husband only left but isn't dead. She's alluded to "when will he return?" at least once. This being DPC, something that important can't be a mistake.
If DPC's intention is try to and reinvent the wheel, then have it, but I'd argue that a great appeal of these adult games is that any and all consequences are rarely, if ever, all that severe for the MC. It's what caused a lot of the controversy with AL because there was real consequence there, albeit with the biggest one being completely out of the control of the player.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.

These games and VNs are pure escapism wish fulfillment where even the most dire of circumstances have a way out of them that doesn't result in devastating consequences for the MC or other characters close to them. Pulling on the emotional heartsrings is one thing, but upending the MC's entire life with very serious consequences is not something I think people really respond well too and we saw that with AL, so we'll see how far DPC wants to push it this time.
My assumption is that if there will be consequences for all the MC's whoring around (at least in the form of very, very angry LIs) we'll get fair warning first. So far, we've had no indication from any of the girls that the MC needs to stop 'dating around'. Maya and Josy give the MC a free pass while they're 'exploring' whatever the throuple is going to turn into, Jill and the MC talk about the fact he's seeing other girls before the tennis date, Sage obviously isn't going to throw a fit at this point since she's trying to pretend that its purely a sexual relationship, and Bella... well... Bella is a married woman, so she doesn't really have a leg to stand on as far as the MC being 'faithful' once they reach the point where they get physical.If DPC's intention is try to and reinvent the wheel, then have it, but I'd argue that a great appeal of these adult games is that any and all consequences are rarely, if ever, all that severe for the MC.

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 DPC's intention is try to and reinvent the wheel, then have it, but I'd argue that a great appeal of these adult games is that any and all consequences are rarely, if ever, all that severe for the MC.

I'm pretty sure Bacchus was talking about the relationship consequences in AL, not 'the choice' (which we get it... you hate). More relevant is whether you bang the bar sluts, the nurse, and/or your ex. At the end, the LI you're with finds out... some get upset about it, some don't, and with certain girls it can lead to exactly what you're talking about, with your chosen LI doing precisely what you said... 'telling you to take a hike because you couldn't keep it in your pants'.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.What happened in AL was just... lazy, for the lack of a better word.

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 .Funnily enough, I get the feeling this game is slowly but steadily trying to steer away from those established norms.

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.By consequences I meant a main LI telling you to take a hike because you couldn't keep it in your pants.

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.By consequences I meant a main LI telling you to take a hike because you couldn't keep it in your pants.

To be fair he did it with Rena in AL so hardly should be big issuestarting 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
Haha sameNow I wish I wasn't poor so I can actually support this dude. Looking forward to its completion.
