actually, thinking back, the only real non-sense is Sage asking him to accompany her without preparing him for who he will find in front of him
it is one thing to accompany her to her parents (which is an important but personal request), another to 2 teachers (which also becomes an important issue for MC)
Jacob's is also an abnormal behavior (in the case of Mc who does, but let's justify it with the fact that it is a very particular situation
That's an another Fucking thing. Like Jacob vague comments, are not hints. That's keeping you a dark for no reason, just to have a stupid scene in episode 8, when MC is like Why did I not see it ? Fuck Fuck Fuck.
This whole Sage things is like Everyone know who she is, and Yet nobody tell it to MC , because he does not have to know otherwise the reveal not working. Well it's a Bad design then. This could have been work, if we only get the Chad and Sage scene, when Chad imply that Sage could help him.
This way, the player Get the hint, that hey there's more to Sage, without feeling forced, like the Jacob scene. Hey dude don't do it, you new here. Yeah, right so tell me you moron, so I might not make a mistake or something, dont gave me this vauge answer.
Like you travelling and someone say, don't go this direction, You ask Why and He is just like, just don't go. And its turn out there no fucking bridge there, but the fucking asshole dont say this , he just say dont go there.
Its the same fucking thing with MC not informing Maya about what Quinn business is.
So as I said, it's not about admitting you were wrong, it's about not treating you as Stupid.DPC is still new to this, and this is a relative common thing in a lots of shows , movies, games, in entertainment generally. And this is what he need to evolve in. Do not treat your audience as Stupid. Even if some are indeed stupid, don't count on those.
And if something make sense, do it, even if people figured out, because they will. Because fans always spend more time on analyzing shit that the actual creator. Just ask Dalix, " reflection in the eyes of the chracters " .
The thing is DPC won't be able to truly surprised us, so he should aim to entertain us instead. Most of the time he do that and he doing it good, but sometimes he just want a twist, that doesnt work.
Like episode 8 ending. If MC was bursting out laughing , and the inner monolog is: Yeah I was expecting something like that. Than it would feel more organic, than his Fuck Fuck Fuck.
The way it is, This ending is only working, if you fucked Jade and She is Sage mother. In every other scenario its not.
