Here's an interesting question; if you could replace all 5 main LIs with side girls, who would you pick?
For me, in no particular order:
- Nicole
- Quinn
- Camila
- Lily
- Cathy
This is a very interesting question... And you list is also really good. Mine would be:
1. Camila
2. Jade
3. Lily
4. Riona
5. KRJ
It's a very solid group of LIs, with Camila and Riona being more on the DIK side, while Lily and KRJ would be the Chick girls. Jade would be the neutral. If it's necessary to have a poly choice, you can always cut Riona for Mona, to have a throuple with her, Camila and the MC.
I didn't put Quinn as a possibility because she is already a main character, she don't need to be a LI, and if she lives, something tells me we will be able to have an ending with her.
Edit: Forgot to justify KRJ, since most people see her more as a meme. But basically, the list needed a redhead, and also, a more "nerdy" LI, since i miss having one in the main game. She is also cute.
Polyamorous is most common today, mostly in young people, and maybe they haven´t a large duration. And the trouple thing is very specific type of poly love.
It's more common, but really hard to maintain. I was in one until last year, but things went to hell. Nowadays i actually ask myself if it can work really long term.
