Everyone probably noticed that after the legendary breakfast, MС personally rejects only two girls (three if you count Jade): Bella, Sage and Jade.
1) Sage admits that she did not plan to meet him and sees him only as a friend. On the way of Others, she says that she will wait if something does not work out with other girls.
2) Bella says that Jill is a great option and is proud of him.
What about Jill and Josie and Maya then?
It was weird with Jill. He came to fuck to talk to Bella about Jill and she finds them together. The problem is solved.
But as for the two lesbians:


Before the crucial meeting with Burke, MC did not tell Josie and Maya that he decided to break up with them and date another girl. I'm expecting a concentrated fucking drama in episode 9.

It depends on the play style and LI interest of the MC (player). For example, my MC doesn't even think about Jill, Bella or Sage. He only has Josy and Maya on his mind. He says to himself that he has 2 more love interests that way, but in the end they are all three one.

Okay, it's not hard to guess which way I'm going. But I think the MC is best off with a LI of the same age. Which is actually weird because the MC with the older LI's has the same interests and hobbies. Usually Josy and Maya don't fit with the MC at all.

Music: Sage, Jill (Josy only likes to listen to music).
Sports: Sage (martial arts), Jill (jogging, tennis, yoga), Isabella (yoga, tennis).

However, I think the MC as DPC portrays him has a major deficit that Jill, Isabella and Sage cannot help him with. The LI's, girls and women are attracted to the MC because he seems so grown up and mature. And that's actually atypical for a young man his age. But to be carefree and carefree for once, he needs Josy and Maya or a girl of the same age by his side. Jill, Isabella and Sage can't really help him with that problem. I also keep thinking about what my MC tells Sage in EP1 when they meet.

HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS YET.

Now please don't get me wrong. I like Jill, Sage, Isabella and even Quinn to some degree. But I think the MC is best off with Josy and/or Maya. And that's how I set up my game. So that the MC is in a relationship with Josy and/or Maya and helps and supports everyone else. So I want to guarantee or make sure that they can all become one big clique without getting jealous of each other. Zoey is responsible for the jealousy theme. She was certainly reminded by the concert Cluck what she actually had on the MC and that it was a mistake to leave. I can also imagine the MC having a special, non-romantic relationship with Isabella. He might see her as a kind of mother substitute sooner or later. That's basically what Isabella and the MC are looking for. Only the role of James will be interesting.

 

[felicemastronzo]

In this one case yes. But having multiple paths saved DIK-CHICK, certain LIs etc. Either path can be boring. Being an ass hole time and again or, as Quinn says, being a white knight pussy.

just talking in general, only MC CHICK can betray all the LIs, only him can get this screen:


the MC DIK is the one who gets rejected regardless of his actions with the LIs, the CHICK one is the one who can make them all jealous of each other
the scene in the library where Maya is worried about MC dating Jill can only be seen by a CHICK MC.

I repeat: the MC CHICK is the evil

 

[J.A.L.]

Many who know me know that I like to theorize about possible connections. I still do, but I no longer post them in this thread.

Now let's move on to Isabella and the song. You know what? It's Bella's favorite song and so is Neil's. As Shabza wrote, Isabella and Neil are in the same generation. +/- two, three years.

In EP8, DPC prepares us for confrontations with ex-boyfriends. There we have the conversations of MC/Jamie and Elena/MC. Both hint at how MC will deal with jealousy in the remaining EPs and how he deals with it. At the end of EP8, Zoey shows up. I don't know now if she goes to B&R as well, but I am sure of one thing. She will be the catalyst for the current MC LI's jealousy. Based on a paragraph in BaD's official walkthrough, you can see that DPC has a more concise path planned for the MC and the current LI's starting in EP9. This involves the MC choosing either a LI (in the throuple, Josy and Maya are eligible LI's) or one or more side girls. I speculate that if the MC chooses the Side Girls, each LI will become unavailable over time and Zoey will be a LI backup for the MC.

Now I would like to get back to Bella. When Isabella talks about her time in college in EP5, she mentions at the beginning that she also left friends behind. What if Neil was one of those friends? It doesn't have to be romantic.

But I see parallels here between Isabella and Jade. What do you think would happen if it came out that the MC had danced the horizontal tango with Jade? The MC could lose up to three potential LI's. Sage, Josy, Maya. The constant for the parallel is the loss of people with whom the MC has a strong emotional bond. And the same could, but need not, happen to the MC with Isabella. Imagine, at least those who have adult children, if your child (18+) had a romantic relationship with a friend from your youth. How would you react? What if Neil and Bella once had a romantic interest in each other, but due to Isabella's departure, the relationship never happened? I think there's a bombshell hidden here, too.

Now for something else. I strongly believe that DPC will give the MC from EP9 a chance to choose a profession. And why? Tommy chose one at the end of EP8 when he took the brown paper bag from Vinny. Riona also sells some pills. But what about the MC? Maybe Maya's solution can be found there too. In my runs with minigames, the MC passed all the midterms with top marks. He passed the finance game and the mansion renovation mini-game. He's athletic and musical. But there is one thing he hasn't learned yet, and that will be his hardest lesson.
YOU CAN'T HELP EVERYONE.
Everyone has their limits somewhere, including the MC. In the beginning, he has something in common with all LI's except Josy and Maya. I could easily imagine Josy going to the gym just to have a common hobby with the MC. But I digress.

I think Stephen and Jade could help Maya with a scholarship that only covers school expenses. Josy is financially secure, but the money only covers living expenses for one person. This means that Josy cannot help Maya. Unless Josy also gets a scholarship. Well, and the MC is not swimming in money either. We need a third scholarship. We shouldn't forget about Derek either. And why is that? I don't know what Patrick will do when he finds out Derek helped his sister. Like I said, the MC is the best at everything. At least in my run through. Who will get a scholarship? The best, of course. The athletic scholarship will be awarded to Chad. Why am I writing this? Stephen, who probably decides who gets the scholarships, approached MC in the library at the beginning and asked if he was an athlete, and Chad attacked MC once. (- Chad). So we have 4, maybe 5 possible scholarships. The 5th one could be initiated by Amelia Royce. She was sitting in the audience at the concert and heard it all.

MC is giving up gender studies:
I think Maya will move up for this. KRJ would also be considered, but has been at B&R for a while and has other interests. Maya, on the other hand, wants to be a social worker.

MC is giving up English:
This could be good for Josy. She is also interested in literature and not just the financial crisis.

MC forgoes math:
I think this is something for Derek. We know he didn't cheat on midterms and he was also a favorite student of Cathy's. If you ask me who cheats on midterms, I would say Lily. She came out of the bathroom after MC and looked at him funny.

That leaves MC with only 2 options. Chad says goodbye to his scholarship and it is awarded to MC. What that triggers is anyone's guess. But if the Royce family decides to fund an art scholarship, MC would be delighted. Just look at the DIK's in attendance at the concert.

Jamie: Botany and poetry
Jacob: Painter
Leon: communication and promotion. Just read through Leon's cackle once. His cackle about the MC gets the most likes.
John: Cooking is also an art form. Cooking Art.
Derek: Entertainer and comedian

I see so many fanatsitic possibilities for Being a DIK that DPC wouldn't get done by EP50.

If we consider that the game is set in 2019, Tremolo was born in 2001 when Neil was 24 and Isabella around 21-22 and was at college. It´s technically possible that some time before that, Neil and Isabella met and had a relationship. For example when Isabella was 17-18 and about to go to college, and Neil was about 20-21.

There is an interesting conversation at the beginning of the game:
- Tremolo: Dad... were you popular with women growing up?
- Neil: Hehe, I had may fair share before I met your mom. I can´t deny that. Some serious relationships and some... not so serious ones. If I could go back and give myself advice, though, it would be to never second guess my gut feeling... that would have saved me some... grief.

It seems that, in this game, every little detail or banal conversation count. Neil had serious relationships and at least one of them didn´t go well and gave him grief. Was it with Isabella, and that´s why they share that song? Maybe Isabella dumped Neil after knowing her future husband? Or after knowing that she was going to be accepted at college? I would find it really far-fetched. The kind of soap-opera narrative trick that I don´t like. But DPC seems to like that kind of things. Imagine the scene:
- Tremolo: Hey, dad, this is my girlfriend, Isabella Roberts...
- Neil: ...Bella?!!!
- Bella: (Thinking) "Please, someone kill me now"

Technically posible, but not probable. I think that song somehow connects Neil, Lynette and Isabella.

MС Chick will be a source of drama for everyone. I like MC Dik. He was rejected by lesbians, Jill was offended that he decided to take care of a friend instead of going on a date with her, and Bella found Katie's panties. As a result, there remains Sage, and the side girls. My MC is a cheerful and positive dude. As a result, he starts dating a girl who has always supported him. What about Chick? Chick looks like a typical teenager confused in his feelings.

 

[felicemastronzo]

but it's really a numerical fact

The MC CHICK is the only one that can betray all 5 LIs, while the DIK one could be very faithful, but would still be rejected, first by Maya and Josy and then by Jill.

who is potentially the bigger asshole of the two?

I also add that the DIK one who organizes the halloween party with Quinn, without any problem, is already less of an asshole than the CHICK one who does the same thing that should cause him some problems.

Why is anyone surprised by this? My opinion of Bella has been on record for a long time now, she's far from my favorite, in fact I consider it a toss up as to who I loath the most, Maya or Bella. Sorry I don't share your taste in women.

Do you blame the game or do you blame the player?

But what are you talking about? My MC never had a problem with Quinn when he threw the party with Quinn

But what can I expect of you, if when I told you that DPC punished the player and you denied it all the time and now that he does it and in the worst way now you blame the chick MC because you were rejected by 4 girls because of what you MC is not a saint ... Better stop writing as if your route is the only one that matters because every decision you make has your reaction remember that

 

[PashafromRussia]

MС has definitely found his acceptance. I think soon Sarah will bring clients to the glory hole and pay him for it.

In EP8, DPC prepares us for confrontations with ex-boyfriends.

Yes, the entire 9th episode we will definitely deal with the drama of rejected girls.

I speculate that if the MC chooses the Side Girls, each LI will become unavailable over time and Zoey will be a LI backup for the MC.

No, I think that LI backup for the MC is Sage.

 

[DavDR]

I never said Bella is Tremolo´s aunt. Actually, I have said the almost opposite. " not necessarily his aunt, probably other kind of kindship". My English is not perfect, but I think that sentence can be understood. But... hey! never let that reality ruins a good roast, right girl?

I don´t think she´s his aunt. If Isabella would had a younger sister that died 18 years ago giving birth to her son, she would have said it when Tremolo tells her about his mother´s death, would have made questions and connected the dots. She´s not Arieth, she has brains. But maybe there is some kind of link or kindship between Lynette and Isabella.

Edit: why the hell I have seen this comment? I´m ignoring this profile... They should improve the "ignore" feature in this forum

Do I even have to say it? We all know who the Aunt is!

it is what I wrote...

both MC DIK and CHICK organize Halloween with Quinn without any problem, but in my opinion it is more "serious" that the CHICK one does it, even the CHICK one who is with Maya and Josy, don't you agree?

then clearly I am talking about the game and the affinity and how it works, each in his game does what he wants, except what the affinity system decides

DPC punishes affinity much more than betrayals (apart from Cathe's, are there any others?), for now there are two LIs in open competition with each other M+J and Jill, and it is a situation exclusive to MC CHICK

Quite an interesting point of view. Dik and Chick have their pros and cons. But there's a lot less drama in Dik's way. It's just a dude who walks around campus, enjoys life and fucks chicks who don't really need a serious relationship. Jade is the only drama in Dik's way, but even then she will appear only if you chose Sage. And what about Chick? Really Chick got confused in his feelings and now has problems how to explain to the girls. He could potentially ruin Maya and Josie's relationship. I understand that Elena hinted at this when she said that one choice would entail the suffering of another girl, but nevertheless. The way of Chick is the way of drama.

 

[Olsens.M]

Why " should " ? You can do it if you want to... if you are not interested then it makes no difference !

You should show " some " interest towards Jill to get this option... if you have not practiced you still can help but will eventually ruin the recital... but you cannot get everyone on a single route !

I just redid the scene. I am her friend, no love interest, and got the clutch on rooster with everyone talking about mc and Jill also made a post thanking "you" my mc for helping her out. So it is all good. I am in my neutral path, with everyone I want except Jill and maya . But Tremolo is now a rockstar.

 

[Ancienty]

What should I do to update the game from 0.7.2 to the latest version?
I think the patch only works for 0.8.0 and 0.8.1 versions, anyone know how?

 

[DavDR]

who is potentially the bigger asshole of the two?

It's a four way tie Maya Josy Bella and Jill.

 

[RPDL]

Torrent is on the way for 0.8.2 by the way, sorry for the delay. REE. It'll probably be 30-60 minutes more.

I always considered my Massive Chick MC has a kind of ‘hopeless romantic’ who can’t help himself to romance all the LI … not necessarily evil but a young guy who can’t make up his mind… And to his defence there was no string attached to every relationship…

I really used this path to quickly see every scene with the LI in one playthrough, now it’s going to be filled with drama.
At least he was conscious about his actions !
