It is possible the last name could have a plot point if there's a connection to the ski resort the preps go to. Albeit a minor one but could be part of the development of the details of his family history. But then again dpc could achieve the same thing if Lynette mentions the name of the hotel in the diary and there's a connection there.
There is no "ski resort the Preps go to". Dalli made that up out of thin air to try and justify a crazy theory.
Ok I just spent 5 hours updating my profile picture and creating my own signatures I'm ready to talk in the big boys thread now.
So what's up guys, what's your favorite outfit so far in game?
I don't really have saves to look at clothes but I think this one is at least up there for me

Throwing it right back to Ep 1:
just out of curiosity, what are the terms i need to use to figure out that DPC is currently play testing and is 2-3 weeks from release?
Search for posts by N7 and you'll find the latest status updates.
absolutely agree with you
not even Neil's partial amnesia could justify MC not knowing his mother's real name,
surnames are simply not important to DPC, how many characters do we know of?
Except that it does. The MC has, a couple of times, seemingly expressed exasperation at his Dad's foggy and unreliable memory to the point where the MC seems disinterested in asking any further about his mother. Also, the MC knows how much the subject of his mother upsets his Dad so it's likely that he's never gone looking for information about his mother on his own because in digging up the past he may cause his Dad some distress.
But most of all, the MC may just not have any interest in knowing. He knows his Mom's name is Lynette, he likely knows what she looks like too, and he knows that she died in childbirth and his father is, for all intents and purposes, a good Dad who raised him in a loving and caring household. The MC even says in the opening monologue that his life with his Dad was a happy one, so he doesn't seem to have had much of a reason to want to know more about his Mom beyond what he already knows. He has his Dad and that does seem to be enough for him.
I honestly think it's entirely reasonable to assume that the MC doesn't know his Mom's family name because he's never been told and he's never cared to know.
If the MC is not on the path of Josy/Maya, Josy and Maya are applying to the Pink Rose because they need to make money?
They won't.
If there was something so important at stake, like finding out the truth about Burke (or about MC's family where I believe there is nothing to find out) I really don't think it would be tied to a specific branching part. it will be a common part for all players.
Agreed. Any significant revelations that aid the overall plot will not be consigned to branching choices or scenes.
Perhaps Stephen Burke is not Stephen Burke's real name either. What if he only took the name to get his doctor's degree?
Seriously, dalli?
Yes, I have thought about that. In the library scene in EP6, there is a woman who very suspiciously always moves away from the MC when he goes into the hallway. It could be that this woman has something to do with the real Stephen Burke and wants to expose the fraud. For example, she only needs to put a photo of the real Stephen Burke in the dissertation.
Dalli, stop thinking billboards are real characters in the game.
Quinn is not an antagonist. A rival towards Maya sure, but since Maya is not the protagonist, Quinn is not the antagonist.
From DPC's own
Q&A:
Did you expect Quinn to have a decent size and loyal fanbase? From where did your inspiration for Quinn's character come?
I expected Quinn to be very polarizing. She is nowhere near a fan favorite based on polls, but she's unmatched in the game for those who enjoy a character like her. The inspiration was to create an antagonist that you'd either love to hate or hate to love. For me, Quinn is a character I love to write.
So, yes, she is an antagonist because that's what DPC says she is.
