But those are all choices you can make or not, so let's not talk about MC anymore, but about MC as we interpret it.I think he is Neutral .
We dont follow, Chick or Dik path because it is more in line with our personality either . It's simply because, the game force us to pick one over the other if we interested in one girl or an another..
MC in the beginning, is Neutral, just like all of us. Because life is not black and white.
all of us obviously think a bad thought of Steve when the game start, and draw dicks in his picture. and we definitely checking out Josy's ass or Boobs,
But we not jerk with our lovely father. and reject the money.
unless you specifically aimed toward a specific path, which is kill the whole " Follow your heart " theme.
folks don't create a solo Jill path because its logical, or because they follow their heart. But because, they saw her as an ultimate reward, a Trophy, what can only be attained with certain decisions.
and they afraid of the consequence if they don't follow the "right path " .
And when the game give us bonus sex scene based on our Affinity, we sitting there holding our head, and thinking , where we made the mistake, and we need 2 more chick decision what we normaly would not pick , but without it we only have 50% of a lewd scene. .
In the Defense of DPC this is not entirely his fault. This is a well known problem with any game that try to implement a morality system, because it is always just "good vs bad" situations.
okay I think I went overboard with this , long story short, I think MC is Neutral in the beginning
but what kind of character is he?
a shy, introverted guy who rehearses speeches alone when he thinks no one sees him, a guy who is extremely close to his father (and we have no way of diverting him from that)
They all sound like CHICK traits to me.
but also the premise of the game, all the talk about the real family to be found, about love, seems to me a pretty clear statement of intent
the only "DIK" part is the short parenthesis between the fight and the beginning of the relationship with Zoey (which technically is shown to us later, but is still part of the character's base)
and as it happens to many kids who leave home to start college, MC also has the chance to become something else.
