Valid comments all. I wonder though if at this point there are really any great choices re LI here, and maybe there’s a difference between LI and, well, long term relationship moving forward(?)There is something to be said for the MC choosing an LI, the throuple or sidegirl. What happens to the others? We as players have our preferences and decide at the end of EP8. This allows DPC to create drama with other girls that doesn't corner the player into choosing one.
I, for example, chose the threesome. What happens to Jill, Isabella, Quinn, etc. doesn't matter to me personally in the grand scheme of things. Because of the decision at the end of EP8, there could be several ways that the chosen LI is eliminated from the drama.
That doesn't mean it will happen that way, it's just a thought of mine.
With the exception of Quinn, your assessment of the LI's is very objective. I don't mean that in a bad way.But it gives me the opportunity to write some innuendo that is in play and makes it a little more spicy.
- Bella : We haven't seen yet how the student MC behaves in relation to Bella in B&R. Isabella herself thought in EP5 when Jill mentioned that the MC then becomes one of her students, so that makes it interesting. Derek is also excited about Isabella. Who knows what will happen if the MC doesn't have Bella as his LI?
- Jill: Sushi sucks, it makes your hand stink of fish. But Jill has become more confident at the end of EP8. For example, how would she react to the MC becoming more friends with Bianca? In Rooster, Bianca was taken with Tremolo. Will Jill and the MC continue to play classical music together, or will Jill discover a rebellious side to herself and the two will start a rock band? Will Jill perhaps give Rusty another try?
- Maya : Maya has also changed. At the Dorm party, she had her fun. On Rooster, Maya shows teeth. "Fuck you Dawe." Maya asks the MC during the sex scene what else they are going to do. Maya enjoyed being a little crazy.
- Josy : We have something with Josy in EP8. She is afraid of some things and I could imagine Josy facing some of her fears along with the MC.
- Maya/Josy: The windows of the mansion are almost all fixed. When will Maya/Josy have a walk of shame together? How will Derek and Tommy react when their relationship is revealed? Derek was acting weird while shopping in EP8.
- Sage : I like Sage, but I also worry about her. What if she falls back into old habits when she finds out about Quinn's machinations and/or finds out that Melanie and Sarah knew about Chad but didn't say anything. Maybe Isabella, Jill and Sage will become friends. Now that I think about it, there's a lot of potential there. In my run through, they are actually all friends with each other in some way. The only thing missing is Sage.
- Zoey : Is Zoey going to be a divisive element? If so, will the LI's gang up on Zoey? Who were the friends of Zoey that were mentioned in the flashback? I can totally see Zoey messing things up.
- Quinn : I'm more afraid of Quinn dragging the MC into the downward spiral. Yes, their relationship has potentnial, but I think it's negative potentnial.
I think any relationship with Bella, in the real world, would be doomed. You just know her husband is bound to show up sooner or later, and in the meantime if the school finds out about a relationship with a student, well,……..and what about that locked room at her house? She is my favorite right now though so hoping for a good outcome, somehow.
Maya/Josy & throuple seems sort of forced. They kind of have each other and I feel like Our Hero would just be the 3rd wheel (with a nice axle).
Sage felt like the next best choice to me, but I think I want to replay that whole path to see if I can get the MC to establish a relationship with her WITHOUT having to deal with parents (maybe) or getting into a conflict with Tybalt (maybe not).
Quinn: She genuinely cares for MC if you play her that way, but man, once a 19 yr old guy finds out what she’s been up to is he gonna want to stick around? Certainly not in his power to…..rescue her from all that madness, even if she wanted to make a change. Wonder if she’ll be a sacrificial lamb in this story.
Others: I don’t see any of the rest of the HOTs suddenly becoming a factor, ‘cept maybe Lily. Envy the single Mom? I like her but that would be a lot to take on. MC should give his Dad her number. Now, Nora the scientist - I would love to see that develop. Zoey’s return strikes me as sort of a Stay Tuned opportunity. Will be interesting to see if they can resume a relationship or if they’ve both changed too much.
