I got a question, i am on the neutral route and slept with Josy and had something with Maya. Why did they reject my offer? Is there more to i need to do?
Maya and Josy will only reject the MC if a) he has DIK Affinity (not Status) during the scene in the ruined library, or b) he both didn't sleep with Josy in Episode 2 and didn't help Maya with the Scavenger Hunt in Episode 3. Are you sure you didn't have DIK Affinity? Neutral/CHICK Affinity would require making at least 3 CHICK choices during the Major Decisions up to that point.
Otherwise, unless you somehow misremembered sleeping with Josy in this run, you must have encountered some sort of glitch. Do you have any mods installed?
I just finished my fourth Jill playthrough and only got this part just now since I never stayed with Sage before. This game continues to impress me with the variables.
Here's one for you guys: at Fuckface's surprise birthday party, Tommy is holding a bag of ice on his crotch. Almost like someone kneed or kicked him in the balls but I didn't find out who. I suspected Josy, is that a J&M route thing? I don't think I ever got that scene before.
This one is a bit tricky. Tommy needs the ice pack whenever the MC doesn't kick Tommy's ass during their fight at the start of Episode 6 - but we'll only learn why if we're on the Maya/Josy path.

Nice preview, good to see the relationship continuing. Looks like the MC is allowed back in Jill's room too (unless they're visiting Bianca again).
Most of all, I fear that we will lose control of the player after constant affinity. If earlier the player had a choice of two possible main choices, now it may not be a choice. We saw this in episode 8. Dik, for example, could not help cheating on exams and could not help but help Derek with revenge on the nerd. This will certainly make it easier to develop for DPC, especially with such a complex system of branches, but the illusion of choice may disappear. Neutral affinity is probably the path of the golden mean, which will have its disadvantages and I wonder what.
As has been noted, DPC specifically added Neutral options *only* for people with permanent Affinity in Episode 8. My guess going forward is we'll (usually) get to pick between the neutral option and one of the others based on either our Affinity or our previous decisions. Though who knows if we'll still get the classic "2 Major Decisions per episode" anymore.
Yesterday I was thinking this... If you had chosen Jill in EP 8 and she rejected you because of your MC's affinity would you have started a new game again or would you still play that game?
You mean if Jill rejected us for CHICK Affinity? Assuming the writing actually made sense, I'd probably let the rejection stand and keep playing that save. I'd be just as surprised as my MC and frankly I'd be curious to see where her story would go after that.
If you mean what would I have done if my Jill run was a DIK, I can't really answer; it was pretty obvious to me DIKs had no future with Jill. It's not like I have a lot of DIK characters to begin with.
