It's technically the third rejection of her if you count thanking her for the dance at the DIK party instead of kissing her as the first time. I got this scene in my first playthrough.
Does that come back around as an option later in the game (I only have the Steam version not the Patreon one)? In both of my main playthoughs, I didn't have enough dik points to pick that option in the Dungeons & Gremlins scene. I've heard there's another D&G scene later on, but I don't know the details of it.
I'm actually wondering if you can finish this game without having had sexual relations with anyone (dream sequences not counting). In my first playthrough, I think I kept shooting myself in the foot. I had the MC scarper from the sorority house as fast as humanly possible after Quinn found him (although I had Chick status so don't think he would've got the Camila scene anyway). He turned down Quinn's restaurant offer so didn't have any scenes with the HOTs she was pimping out. Technically there was the grinding Maya did on him, but as he got tazered before anything else happened I'm not counting that either. I deliberately had him lose the cumpetition so Quinn never got her way with him. He danced with Sage at the DIK party, then left without kissing her. Didn't kiss Maya before going home at the weekend. I picked 'Not Like This' when he went to see Josy. Told Sage she didn't have to pay him back for getting the video of Chad's phone call. Didn't try to kiss Isabella when she gave him a lift back to college. Didn't take it further during Sage's first guitar lesson. Removed his hand during the bed scene with Jill after being knocked out by Chad. Didn't offer to help Maya with her scavenger hunt. Did nothing with Jade at the lunch table. Told Sage he was just giving her guitar lessons (which is when the screenshot AchedCroissant posted happened). Let Derek do the DIK stuff at the Pink Rose. He gave Mona the underwear, but didn't have a high enough dik score to get the scene in the toilet block with her and Camila. He stopped Jade when she tried her little foot trick during gender studies.
By the end of episode three with the Maya/Josy reveal, the relationship tracker was saying that Sage had lost any and all interest in the MC and she was greyed-out when the choice of three came up after he leaves the dorm, so he ended up at Isabella's. However he didn't use the sunblock or splash her in the pool, thus nothing happened there. Also he didn't send Cathy the dick pic on Swyper, so she cut off communication. Now the main reason for refusing all these things up to this point was that I intended on him trying to court Jill on my first playthrough and she seemed like she wouldn't appreciate the MC being a man-whore. So up comes the first date with Jill at the tennis court. Okay, now I can get somewhere I thought. Only by being the gentleman and letting her shower first and not snogging her right away, the MC came away from the date musing that he wasn't that interested in Jill. I was going for slow and steady. I didn't think I needed him to shove his tongue down her throat on the first date to keep that path moving, but apparently I did need to, so it looks like that path's closing off, if not closed already. There's no more contact with Sage after refusing her at the second guitar lesson, so her path's gone. He turned down Jade and messed up with Cathy, so they're gone. He doesn't even register on any of the HOTs radar. And at the DIK party where the laptop is stolen, because he hasn't done anything with Maya and Josy up to now, they're not interested in anything more, so they part as just friends. He also doesn't smoke the weed, so nothing happens with Quinn, although I'm assuming the lack of dik points would have scuppered anything there anyway.
So tell me, how screwed is that first playthrough? I've still got the save for it, but at this point it feels like the only reason to continue would be as an experiment, to see if I could finish it without triggering any sex scenes at all. Unless that is the next few episodes give you the chance to turn things around? For most of that run, the MC's status was hovering between Huge Chick and Massive Chick and I'm thinking that didn't overly help either. Felt like being on the Chick side of the bar would be more beneficial when going after Jill, but maybe he was too chick?
Is there any word on when season two will hit Steam?
