Everyone ? Maybe thats just my assumption, but at least from the people who post here, dont they all have a save game for every path and not just their favorite ?
The few dozen people who post here aren’t typical of the wider audience. Yes most people here are going to play multiple paths, but the typical person is going to play through once maybe twice. I especially think the later people pick the game up, the longer it is, the less inclined they will be to replay. Especially if they are only into one or two of the main LIs. I only completed Acting Lessons once, because it once completed, I understood the story, and wasn’t motivated to
save the other girl because who has the time?
That's the part I dont understand, every choice to commit to any of the paths already has an antagonist build in that has been growing naturally as the game got updated. You cant choose Bella and not upset Jill or vice versa. If you choose Sage you have the Jade and a possible Quinn conflict. If you choose Maya/Josy you have Patrick and Tommy. I just dont see why Zoey has to be thrown in as an extra threat, when there is plenty of room for her as either a BFF if the MC commited to a girl or available as a path if the MC is single. I always thought the MC is in desperate need of a true BFF, derek is awesome and loyal to a fault, but he's not really a problem solver.
At the end of Interlude Zoey makes it pretty clear that one of the driving factors to going home is getting her some MC dick. Yes, there will probably be an option to friendzone her, but that doesn’t mean she won’t try to get some. Yes all of the routes have got some potential drama. But let’s not forget the other’s route has prostitution, drugs, and probably undercover cops. Zoey Isn’t needed there either. (And if the original post was about being truly single, having fucked no one, then I think that’s even less likely, I’ve got around a dozen saves and that’s not one)
Well we already covered the interfere part, there are plenty already. And if Zoey wants to enroll to B&R, it would probably be a bad choice to piss off those that are closest to the MC.
Zoey and MC were always outsiders together, she isn’t going to care about upsetting people around MC especially if you set her up as DIK in Interlude.
I'm not saying its impossible, but it would be a real hard sell to the player base, if you've given them 8 episodes to choose a girl and then force another girl onto that choice even though there is room for her on a different path. I think some of the players would even feel messed with, like why give them the biggest choice yet, include all the LI's in the game and then do an 180° and force Zoey onto them anyway, even though there is an stay single option.
No one is talking about forcing anyone. I don’t think there is a single point in the game where you’re forced in to a relationship scene. I don’t think that will change now. Instead, i imagine, she will come on to the MC he’ll have to reject her (Or not). MC might get caught with her coming on to him and have to explain it to his girl, that sort of melodrama that the game has done constantly since the start.
