I'm fine with that, except the game brought it up. In the two prior attempts for MC to "get it in" the scenes revolved around just how difficult it was for Maya, not just emotionally but physically, to handle penetration. If the game hadn't created that precedent, then fine. But if you create a barrier in a story, breaking through that barrier is now a plot concern that needs to be addressed (I swear that wasn't meant as a euphemism). I think handling it like this was just, as you say, a "porn logic" way of getting it out of the way.The first is that this is a porn game and therefore, despite things like its good story that make it more than just a regular, run-of-the-mill porn game, it does still follow porn logic a lot of the time and that logic says that Maya can indeed take the MC all the way with little effort.
But they manage to do that anyway. If you aren't on the M&J path they just fake it with dildos (like they originally planned), and it works. I know Maya is getting more comfortable with MC, and especially with Josy around, but that shouldn't change her point about how showing it to people would make her feel like a prostitute (her words). It's like DPC just forgot about that part.As for that scene, I do agree that I would have preferred a more intimate and special moment for this first time, but at the same time, I think it serves a couple of purposes. The first is that it gets the Scavenger Hunt done quickly and easily. They could have taken more time, had a proper threesome, but that's probably something they (by which I mean M&J) would rather do privately, so all they had to do here was make it look legit.
Honestly, that's probably the real reason DPC did it. I hadn't thought of that, but you're absolutely right and, for the purposes of story structure, it makes a lot of things simpler going forward. (I'm not sure if it makes them BETTER, but definitely simpler for DPC to manage.)It also serves the potentially useful purpose of unifying some divergent milestones. Prior to this, the MC might have had sex with only one of them. Now he's definitely had sex with both. The exact details will still vary from one playthrough to another, but the game no longer needs to keep covering for the possibility that the MC and one of the girls had never done anything overtly sexual before.
To be fair, at least "Mel is Chad's mistress" is possible. DPC has explicitly said the game will not contain incest, and yet the "Jill is MC's aunt" thing persists. She's literally more likely to be an alien.Melanie is Chad's mistress is the new Jill is MC's aunt.
Simple people drawing imaginary lines between unconnecting objects.
(Runs before 50 pages of speculation about Jill being an alien kicks off...)
Won't lie, first time I played this is what I thought when I got to that scene. Very, VERY happy it didn't turn out that way.Maybe Chad is cheating with Maya...
Nope DPC would NEVER use misdirection in his games... lol
