James isn't an imaginary friend, he's real, Bella married him, and at some point he disappeared, after that Bella for whatever reason started imagining James was still around, like in the library scene we've seen. So the pictures MC saw are real but it's no proof Bella can't be delusional. It even might be the reason MC said what he said about running for help in the library...
I've played the game several times now and have never once seen Sage saying that Chad "never" had sex with her. Just that he has been finding excuses not to for long enough to leave her sexually frustrated. For an average woman of her age, I estimate that would be 4-6 months tops. Not 2-3 years. I'm certain that if it had never happened they would be having an entirely different conversation like "when are we finally going to have sex for the first time? It's been 3 years and we still haven't fucked. Do you even have a penis? I've never seen it." Sage is a pretty smart girl, evidence to the contrary. The only way that she wouldn't realize that she is a beard is if she had his dick in her at some point. Closeted gay men have done so with wives and girlfriends to throw people off their scent throughout history. I doubt Chad is any different. Maybe I'm just indulging my own headcanon. I just don't buy that Sage would tolerate a relationship of that length where love and sexual affection never existed from the start. She is just too much of a horny bitch. If it is true that she never had sex with Chad then I won't want to pick Sage as a love interest because her children might inherit her imbecility. Especially since Tremolo isn't the sharpest tool in the shed either. If allowed to breed they may create Idiocracy in a few short generations.In fact, Sage repeatedly and explicitly points out that Chad has never shown any physical interest in her, which is more evidence that they haven't had sex than the other way around.
then that it doesn't make any sense at all is another matter, but this is what the story of the game tells.
then we can also blame MC who is only interested in girls that no one else (Burke family excluded) has ever been seriously interested in
I suggest you take the time, download the entire game if you don't have it, buy an external backup drive and backup what you download then in the future, you will only have to download smaller patches. That's what I did.
Yeah, she says that she would wait for the MC but she struggled with months and was not at all happy about doing it years. It seems to be that they were together before the DIKs were founded and that was two years ago give or take. I find it very unlikely that she hadn't done anything with Chad for that whole time.
How I download these monsters on Mega is to import them to the cloud storage. This happens instantly, as it is using the internal bandwidth of its servers. Then I start the download from there using mega sync so I don't need to keep the browser open. Then I ignore it for a while as it downloads in the background. I get that exceeded download limit and ignore it. The download isn't stopped, merely paused. In a few hours, the download will start right from where it left off once they stop throttling it. It might take all day but this method is way more reliable than some bullshit like pixeldrain that will have an error right in the middle of its slow-ass download. Then when the download is complete I delete the game from the cloud storage because who knows when the next time some huge ass game will have an update?
Best case scenario? Bella has grief-induced psychosis caused or exacerbated by advanced schizophrenia and during her psychotic breaks sometimes sees and hears him. Worst case scenario? She suffers from a dissociative identity disorder and sometimes is James. When he wants her body he really wants her body. To like, walk around in. Which would mean that sometimes Bella is a heterosexual man. Which would be awkward. Now DID doesn't really work like this but it is popularly portrayed as such in works such as Psycho, Fight Club, Doom Patrol, the upcoming Moon Knight show etc.
Hmmm, think neither schizophrenia nor this extreme case of split personality is a good scenario...
Yep. Zoey surely banged like crazy after she left the MC. All the guys in the surf school etc... Bret had to be her quasigay fuck buddy.
and Emma her quasilesbian ahem, fuck buddy. Sadly tough, they never figured out that they should do a threesome.
Man honestly I don't care which you prefer if you just run it through a google search you will find eventually a fast file server that contains it too ( or is that also a no go zone like torrent ?
) it barely cost one a minute to find stuff on the interweb...
Well not to say it was the best-case scenario in the best of all possible worlds, but seeing people who aren't there is never going to be a happy fun time. But you're right. Maybe she just smoked too much crack when she was a teenager and there is too much lead in her drinking water.Hmmm, think neither schizophrenia nor this extreme case of split personality is a good scenario...
There's stress induced delusions as an option too, it's less severe then schizophrenia although it's roughly related, big difference however is schizofrenia is more common and usually surfaces from puberty to mid twenties while delusional disorder is rare but often occurs midlife... It's likely Bella would have been diagnosed much earlier if it was schizofrenia.
And then there's a possibility it's caused by intoxination too, alcohol, drugs but also wrong medication and such.
Ah well, loads of possibilities anyway... so i hope there's a better diagnoses then your best case scenario.
(ah, and check out "hide and seek" if you didn't already!)
Thanks for the comment! I really like this kind of VN/Game Us who play are really becoming involve. Our imaginations, deductive reasoning, critical thinking are being put to the test. What is the relationship of this to that, what will happen if you choose this path. I really love reading the forum. There are some arguments, but its fun because of the interaction! Its not perfect just like the others are saying there are flaws. But there are no such thing as perfection. The only thing I don't like is the waiting for the next episodes, But I understand DPC's situation.
That's a wedding to remember...
I have a question, I just realize it just now, How do you write your name? I'm not familiar with other countries. In the Philippines we write it our Given Name then our middle name or initial (which is our mother's maiden surname) finally our surname (which is we all knew our fathers surname unless your mother is not married to your father and use her surname instead). Ex. Alfredo B. (Benedicto) Cruz. If this is the same in other countries the MC should know her mother's surname. (Thanks to you vogelbeest for telling me this because of your reply/comment from my previous post.) Now unless her mother is disowned by her family and changed her surname.
It's likely that the MC has his fathers surname if she in fact did die during child birth. He may have it in memoriam of her but this is DPC, he likes to hide and use them for dramatic effect so I wouldn't be surprised if she is tied to B&R to some degree. There are already hints towards that.
Bella's boss sends Bella home not because she was talking to her husband, but because they were about to get intimate, and that's not appropriate in a library.
I think the guy on the stairs is definitely a part of why James is gone now. I still think it was a mugging gone wrong and that's where he possibly even died. Hence her over the top reaction to the MC trying to bring her back there for the date. You don't freak out like that just because you used to spend time there with your husband. It also seems that Bella stayed local after what happened to him and she doesn't have the same reaction to other places in the area. How likely is it that she never went to her favorite restaurant with him, or to the local mall where she shops with Jill? I think that scene is what it is and also the start of everything that happened.Bella's boss sends Bella home not because she was talking to her husband, but because they were about to get intimate, and that's not appropriate in a library.
I agree with you about the "depth of field." But that rules out your theory from the start. Why would Isabella have a hallucination/projection of James and at the same time insert the man with the glasses into her hallucination/projection?
That doesn't make any sense.
Let's assume that what DPC shows us in the flashback of Isabella James is what it is. A man is visiting his wife at work. Both are about to do something naughty in a library where there is supposed to be dead silence. The boss sends Bella and James home and Isabella's stalker is already waiting outside the library.
Someone must have taken Dalli-s account !!!
Not really. I just want Neil to get to know and love Isabella so that my MC gets a good stepmother.Someone must have taken Dalli-s account !!!
I can smell a theory cooking in the distance...
Riiiight... stepmother... INCEST alert !!!Not really. I just want Neil to get to know and love Isabella so that my MC gets a good stepmother.
BADIK get's thrown into to pile of thrash thanks to dalli_x -s wish...
