Oh yeah I'm proud of what I achieved . but after 4 times in a row, I'm not sure I'm gonna missing it

You don't need to replay the game 4 times for multiple ending states you can get nearly all of them in one CHICK playthrough apart from "Others" and Sage DIK

Except, that none of my playthrough is Chick .
also this "Final big choice" dosen't felt right , in the end. Like I'm banging Josy in every episode I can, yet I pick Jill in the end ?! , nah it didn't felt right. , and vice versa. so I disagree.

Hey you guys know that if you start a lot of Vampire fantasies in the forums you'll regret it when most of episode ?? is taken up with a Vampire Diaries equivalent of D&G

My dream come true

You have to do that to get the Jill/Josy route.

Josy focused throuple will everything else Jill,I call it the one true path.

Well she didn't say no and they're like "lol no commitments yet"
Speaking of which a Josy DIK path may be coming if you chose "Others" and still showed interest in her/told Derek

 

[AchedCroissant]

What I'm trying to ask here is, Is it possible to continue story with Maya /Josy without visiting Isabella during end of Eps 3 when it's gives you a options with whom would you prefer to crash night with Isabella , Derek or Sage?

Everything is optional you can go with whoever you want as long as you have that route active that does not affect the route of Maya and Josy

unfortunately there is no Josy & Jill path. May be it can blossom out from a Jill path, if Josy became Jealous. But I think this Branching thing is very clear.

Well she didn't say no and they're like "lol no commitments yet"
Speaking of which a Josy DIK path may be coming if you chose "Others" and still showed interest in her/told Derek

May be, but I already a Massive Dik in the Josy path , so no problem . and yes Jojo does give you some "side eye " if you keep dating with Jill at the same time. so it is better to have separate path for them. Not really my choice of course , you automatically off from Jill path, if you fall to Dik affinity, while with Josy, it does not matter.

I keep the Others branch for Quinn, Lily, and Rio.

Ha, no thanks. Having dated a Vampire fan at the height of Anne Rice's popularity, and therefore being obliged to read the entire canon, I don't want to ever read or play anything V related again.

Hi guys. I'm playing Ep 8 and I don't get what's the point for DPK doing so many branches almost equal to each other.

Don't get me wrong: I love this game. It's one of the best adult game I've ever played (if not the best). But I can't help asking why the routes/ scenes don't follow some kind of logic. DPC keeps making pointless little branches which forces the player to multiply the number of similar gameplays just for unlock one or another scene. For example:

-You can't unlock at the same time both Riona and Camila scenes at HOT's party in Ep 7, althoug both characters seem to be suitable for a DIK path and are not main girls.
-Also at HOT's party, you can't unlock the full version of Sage scene and get the Lily scene at the same gameplay.. Both characters seems suitable for a DIK path, and Lily is not one of the main girls.
-Ep 8, at Pink Rose, you have to choose if you want a scene with Nicole/ Envy or Sandy. Until now, you would have guessed that the two characters would remain on a same path. But you are forced to miss a scene with one of them.
-A lot of other scenes I can't remember right now.

I find it kind of annoying. What's the point? Am I supposed to load a save game and change my choice just to unlock a scene on the gallery? I could understand if DPK would make mutualy exclusive paths for the main girls (i.e.: can't get Jill and Sage scenes at the same time). But why would he make so many mutually exclusive scenes and so force the player either to do thousands of gameplay or load a saved game.

And just to clarify: this game is amazing. I just want to know if you feel the same about games that have too many branches....

I don't mind making several branches... This gives the game more life and more playing time... Games like Detroit Become Human have many branches and you always want to explore each branch to see what changes it has in the story...This game is the same

Thanks for your answer.

Yes, I know that giving many branches increases the amount of hours you can get from a game. And as I said, I agree on doing different branches for the main girls. It will affect the plot and the endings, I guess. But I feel some "branches" are just made to not let you unlock the scenes. Nothing more changes from that. Like the example of chosing Envy or Sandy... Playing two branches that are almost equal to each other just to unlock another scene makes it quite annoying for me. But I get your point.

I would prefer a game with a few paths to choose from, but really different from each other

I Still need make my Jill and Bella run.

On my Jill/Bella run, when forced to choose in ep. 8, I went with Jill. I felt like it would be easier to coax Bella back into a relationship or a threesome than it would bringing a heartbroken Jill back into it. Bella took the rejection better than expected, but for Jill...there is no coming back from seeing MC balls deep in her best friend on the dining table.

With all of the innuendos, intimate scenes of the Jill/Bella in bed, and the teasing special renders, I just have to believe DPC will eventually complete the Jill and Bella sandwich with MC as the meat. Hell, he threw an unlikely Quinn/Sage/MC scene at us in ep. 8 so there is still hope for a variety of different combos if you have played your save correctly.

Agreed. DPC has a hardon for story branching. Replayability might be a part of it, but I think he also uses incessant branching as another failsafe against modding (which he hates) and against players circumventing his preferred play style of pursuing only one or two girls per playthrough. This man despises harems and doesn't want you to unlock all lewd content in one run (or even a few). He wants you to have to grind through the game a dozen or more times to unlock everything. More importantly to him, you must play the game in the "proper" way, the DPC way. Some players love it, others don't. I didn't mind it at all in season 1, but now that we are entering season 3, I view it as tedious to start from the beginning because of something I messed up in ep. 3 has come back to haunt me in ep. 8 or because a new LI has been introduced. Like you I think the game is amazing but also yes to your thoughts on too much unnecessary branches.

That would be because this is a vanity project, not a game. The pro of a vanity project is you get the unfiltered content the creator wanted in its exact form.

That's also the con of a vanity project.

Season 2 has an asston of railroading down very specific rabbit holes, the throuple you have has to be gamified to be maintained, meanwhile the throuple that is rather obvious and pretty much exactly how throuples work in the real world is off limits because reasons.

What I'm trying to ask here is, Is it possible to continue story with Maya /Josy without visiting Isabella during end of Eps 3 when it's gives you a options with whom would you prefer to crash night with Isabella , Derek or Sage?

for the route with Maya and Josy the best choice is to go to Derek, because to go to Bella or Sage you need to be in their route, but at that point if you have them available as a choice it means that it is too late, at the end of chapter 3 the choice doesn't make any difference

then in chapter 8 you can choose to dedicate yourself only to Maya and Josy, we don't know if being in the routes of the other girls will have negative consequences.

will take these over a lewd scene any day

I always wondered why season 2 felt like DPC's hand was tightening around my wrist when it came to exploring the different relationships, and your explanation sums up why. I do enjoy the plot and subplots of season 2 better than season 1, but its a bit exhausting knowing I'll have to restart from episode 3 to be able to fully explore each branch for the LI's or to continue playing the field.

Perhaps the best and most frustrating mechanic of the game is MC's affinity. Some LI's seem to not care at all about your affinity (Josy and Bella), and yet some of them that do also have a tolerance for the opposing affinity (Maya and Sage). Its interesting to experiment with what kinds of actions you can get away with, but it feels a bit unbalanced that Jill is the only character that requires you to have an affinity in order to pursue her as a love interest. It makes sense for her character but feels odd that there isn't a character to juxtapose her (unless you count Quinn through the Other's choice) like there is for the other 4 LI's.

I’m thinking… No. To everything.

Okay, the first part is highly speculative. I admit that.

But the second part could fit from a basic structure.

Would it be so unlikely that Isabella works in the S&R library? I don't think so, because the MC also works in the B&R library.

In the intro to EP8, we see Bella and James arguing, and if there's one thing we know about Isabella, it's that she can be a stubborn bitch. She loses her job at the S&R library and gets a new job at the B&R library. James, however, can't come along so easily because he has some sort of commitments (I'm guessing James is an archaeologist. Mask at Isabella's house). Isabella and James have a long distance relationship where they can't see each other every week. Isabella meets Jill and they become friends. The two become closer at a wine tasting. They have sex together, but are caught in flagrante delicto by James. Bella and James fight again, and James accuses Isabella of cheating on her. However, Isabella thinks that it is not cheating, since she is making out with a woman and James already had a threesome with Isabella and another woman before they got married (Isabella thinks that James would not mind if she dispelled her loneliness and sadness with another woman). James flies back to the place he came from, but the plane crashes. (Derek's scene in EP8 with the paper plane.) There were survivors rescued from the sea. (Read the paper) Since then, James has been considered missing. This gives DPC the option of having James live or be dead.

I should also explain what Isabella forgives James for. The two were at the beach one time. To me, it reads like Isabella and James were joyfully experimenting. Three-way sex outdoors, with James having an accident with the other woman. Of course, they were being watched. The peeping tom then became a stalker of Isabella. I think you know what I mean by stalker, and Isabella doesn't like it at all that she now has a stalker. The other woman has a child that Isabella doesn't know about. Who is the child?

Theory. (Very speculative)
It's Sage and her mother is the drug addict from EP6. Not the one from the intro, but the one Quinn passes when she gets drugs from Buddy. It gets even better. That's how Quinn and Sage get to know each other. During a police raid (read the paper), Sage and Quinn are arrested. It turns out that James is Sage's father, but he is considered missing. James' next of kin are informed. Stephen learns that his brother James has a child. Stephen can't leave his niece with a drug addict. Stephen and Jade adopt Sage to get her out of the drug milieu.
