Some theories actually have some logic behind them, because they are based on things that happened in the game. Others are just things that pull out of their asses and aren't really based on anything (Josy and Jill are sisters/James, Lynette and Monica throuple - James is MC's dad/MC and Tommy are brothers, Neil is Tommy's dad and etc.)
This whole thing is weird. I guess the room is some kind of a storage closet or whatever, but even if it's up to our interpretation we can't give any explanation.
if they fell out of favor later, the name at the college would remain
B&R is a pretty small college, so it's not that significant. Burmeister and Royce could have been influential several decades ago, and now they have already lost their former political and economic influence.
Actually, the college administration council (or whatever it is called) can vote for a name change due to different reasons. So if the Royce's were really disgraced, they would have removed the name from the college.
The Royce's are big, no question about it, Rusty bragging to Jill being a Burgmeister did get inflated pretty fast when Jill told him she is a Royce. Besides that Tybalt has a reason to pursue Jill, he only cares about status, if the Royce's were atleast of the same caliber or less then his own family's he would not be after her at all, he only looks up...
Judging by the life they are living, I don't think they've lost it all that much. When you have that much money, you are the only one that can stop yourself.
Rusty would have been accepted if he didn't start with demanding to be the president of the preps. Ofcourse Tybalt is gonna say no to that.... That's no measurement of wealth, a new guy coming asking to join and demanding to take your job? That's a hostile takeover..
If the Royces had done something untoward and immoral, yes, but if they had simply become less wealthy, why would they take away the name? Then, to play devil's advocate, it could be only Jill's father who has financial problems, and the rest of the family could still be doing well.
If you don't skip text and fast forward, you have around 7-8 hours of content for a single playthrough.
One question that's been on my mind is how rich the Burke's are they clearly are well off but how did they manage to donate considerable amount of money to the college because it seems as so they are both just professor's.
We don't really know how rich, we know Burke is the one with the money, not Jade, but most of it might just aswell be in the hands of Burke's father or mother for all we know.... We know of Burke's donations from those papers, we just don't know if it's Burke's father donating as payment for his sons job at B&R or if Burke himself is manipulating the books.... It's all speculations.
these are all speculations, but from Jade's words I would say that Burke is the first "rich" of his family, he doesn't come from an important family (which could also connect to Tybalt's phrase about coming from nothing and his fixation on establishing himself socially), no clue as to where this wealth comes from, however, perhaps from the trafficking, at a higher level, that he runs
Can't remember that, maybe ill do a rerun sometimes lol, i know Jade said she had to work for her degree while he bought it though, that probably why he isn't teaching but bookkeeping and such....
Nah, that's all for drugs for the girls involved in the restaurant. However Burke is the one getting the sponsors, as long he brings enough smaller ones he can claim large funds being donated in his name by creative bookkeeping or he can put any anonymous gift as being his.... He's there when the money comes in, he's there when it is put in the books and he's the one that can talk to the papers about large donations from within his function in B&R.
I think that the old woman at the elderly home, that mentions that her son doesn't visit her anymore, is Stephen's mother. Basically Stephen got rich and decided to somewhat abandon his old life.
with all the fantasy of the world: the ristornate to Burke costs directly or indirectly a free tuition for girl, to,that if it does not spend that money directly it is money that it manages in this way for the restaurant.
