Finally finished the Neutral Path playthrough, so I'd like to give some of my musings. I'm sorry for any repetitions, but this thread is impossible to keep up with.
- Opening Gambit: There goes the fan theory that Jill's sister is our deceased mom. Age-wise this doesn't check out at all, even if she might have given Neil a false name.
- I feel the destroyed DIK Mansion is this game's fire, so there won't be anything burnt down. We should be safe once it's fully renovated.
- Updated possible complications for the five love interests:
* Maya: Patrick finds out and goes through with the blackmail,
despite Sage's help.
* Josy: maybe her "bi-ness" swings more to the female side again? Otherwise I can't think of anything right now.
* Sage: Too busy with her diss, will be gone after this year.
* Isabella: Obviously her husband will return. Still don't think that he is dead or wandering around the locked room as a mummy.
* Jill: Jealousy variable. She could make our life hell if she's p.o. with us. Could she even be this game's Leah? Other than that, her parents may have a problem with the class difference.
- I won't get into politics as per forum rules, but FU, Tybalt Burke. Or rather, nobody FsU, Tybalt.
- Maya and Neil should go on this world's version of
The Amazing Race as the second coming of Team BuBGAS (Bubbly Blonde / Great American Superdad), Mallory and Gary Ervin. (TAR 17 and 18, Mallory additionally on 24 as replacement candidate for the first two legs) Even though Josy is bubblier and had dad the rosary rattler.
- You gotta enjoy the little things in life. Tommy behaved like a HUGE DIK, and was a shitty father, so his room is getting treated last.
- Sometimes it's good to play catchup because you locked yourself out of scenes. I finally understood why Elena was consoling the crying Ashley during the ANO Party.
- Did anybody find out the significance of Karen Rebecca's hearing aid? Why spend two renders on closeups? Or did she stuff something else in there?
- So Sally is hyper
due to pill abuse. That slap was justified though.
- If it's true what the WT is saying that you get girls for free if you haven't used the "restaurant" but have to pay for the same scene if you did then I find that a little bit illogical.
- Chad's fan theory held, although
Troy was a surprise, at least for me.
- WAY TMI, Wendy! Seriously, nobody cares.
That's what was on top of my head, I didn't fully understand some of the stuff that were going on in the ending montage as it was pretty cryptic again (
Maya's involvement with the HOTs as a full member, Karen Rebecca as mentioned, Sage's plan, Tommy's overnight guest (looks like that wasn't Heather) and some other stuff) - bring on the Season Finale!
