But what you don't see in the game is that DPC doesn't keep it simple. If you look at the game files, affinity and status have an impact. They are barely noticeable until EP5. But there will be more.All that points system and chick-dik is mostly a nonsense that just exist to give the player the feeling that he has some impact on the game, but in fact DPC mostly rely on his script for the simple reason that the story has to stay manageable.
When you code such a game with so many LI who have their own personnality it can be extremely difficult to maintain a common main game path.
For example when Riona asks for help with her stalker, if you don't answer her and accept you get stuck in your room in freeroam.
It hapened to me once, once you close the message you cannot reopen it and you get stuck. It means that some actions are mandatory for the game main path, you don't have a choice.
The same with Jill, you are forced to date her for a similar reason, Tybalt and preps party.
I have a mod installed and i tried to cheat with points and it never had any impact on the girls, only the dik-chick has a little use in a few occasions when nothing important is involved.
As you said, helping Quinn is not related to a good relation with her or by what you did before, you need to be a dik and you need to give up on Maya and Josy.
DPC has to keep it simple if he doesn't want to end up in a sanitarium!
Examples:
Bella's Ring EP7
Cathy's panties EP7
Option Bella or Josy/Maya EP6
You will also see what affinity will do. The affinity controls the preference of the MC.
DIK = Homo (MAN) Hetero (Woman)
NEUTRAL = BI (man and woman)
CHICK = Hetero (Man) Homo (Woman)
Guess why the cliffhanger of EP7 shows Chad and Troy.
The status determines if the MC is a pussy (Chick) or an asshole (Dik).
My concerns were also that DPC would eventually get bogged down with this number of characters. But so far he's doing great.
