Sometimes I don't understand this good/bad system, It is understandable that smoking weed on the roof can be considered a good/bad action, but why banging the teacher who shows interest in you is seen as a bad choice, she is the mom of our rival(sort of) if you are on the Jill\Bella route, bj scene with Cathy in the car did not have this dik\chick choice at all.
I dont get it.
The Affinity system doesn't make a lot of sense on close examination, but it's not meant to be about good and bad per se. Either way the MC is a fundamentally decent guy, he just has the usual inexperience of youth. The Affinity system is supposed to be a simple indication of how the MC faces his uncertainties: CHICKs are more calm and introspective, DIKs are brash and action-oriented. And filthy Neutrals try to split the difference.
The problem with the system is that, as you noted, there's no clear explanation for why some decisions are more "major" than others. I guess you could say starting something with Jade is more Major than with Cathy because Jade is in person and she's largely motivated by spite whereas Cathy only starts as sexting and Cathy is as much about loneliness as it is about lust. There's some truth in that. But Jade also has some genuine soul bearing with the MC and Cathy is clearly playing up the forbidden angle, so I don't really think that's a satisfying answer.
I downloaded the saves from OP and I have a question
How can I change the name?
Because from the new phone I have the option to change the name, but how do I change it from the old phone
Prior to Episode 7, you can change the MC's name by clicking on the three dots in the top right of the Bio screen on the old phone.
Bella awakening her sexuality has been a pretty big part of her story arc.
The intro to this episode says how adventurous she was sexually in the past (even in public) but something at some point changed and she became the “ice queen”. The MC awakens something in her again (early on she masturbates and comments how no man has made her feel this way in a long time) and the finale of this episode has her back to being sexual.
I think this is more what Bella is like. Fucking on the kitchen table is Bella now she’s gotten over whatever was keeping her the way she was at the start of the story.
This is what the
old Bella was like. The real question is whether that's better than the Bella we meet when the game starts. She changed for some reason, and we now know the change predates the collapse of her marriage. Reverting Bella to her younger, wilder self could be helping her get over some sort of trauma, or it could be regressing into something she was trying to move beyond.
Personally, I'm still really uncomfortable with the Bella romance. Her rumination on how urges can't be resisted, and her near breakdown when she sleeps with the MC in Episode 6 are serious red flags - to say nothing of the infamous narration if we make out with her in the library in Episode 3. I need to have those concerns addressed before I'd consider pursuing her.
Outside of a run for completionist's sake, obviously.
She acted differently once she knew Chad cheated with a man. She believed MC; saying it all made sense. The sole reason she confronted Chad was to hear the words out of his mouth. She asked the same question; who was he cheating on her with. He kept denying but this time she kept her cool and said she believed him. My interpretation is that not that she believed him per se, but rather accepted that he's not ready to come out. His lack of anger when she confessed about her own infidelity was an additional confirmation of his sexuality.
She would understand the difficulty in coming out; after all she's also dealing with another couple who kept their relationship secret.
Yeah, learning Sage knew about Maya and Josy and was eager to help them was a good sign. Still a very tough choice, IMHO.
