Thank you for the hindset, I'll do a first clean run and if I'm interested in any other path might just use an actual walkthrough. Never got games that make choices that seem so miniscule but then result in u starting all over again lol
I recommend to use the PDF walkthroughs at some point... without it can get a little annoying to gather all collectibles and get all scenes... there are some lewd scenes you dont get during multiple playthroughs and wonder why, and its kinda strange how these scenes are triggered. Or some scenes have two different versions, and its not always clear how to trigger the different versions and such... so to get a 100% overall game, you need at least 3 playthroughs.

For me, after my 5th overall playthrough i used the PDFs... they are very good...

Regarding mods... NEVER use mods, walkthroughs, or others... doesnt matter... they screw up your savegame and at some point they are useless and you playtime is wasted... its just not worth it. With every update DPC implemts things that will screw up your savegames. They MIGHT work regardless when the mods maybe get an update too... but really... the struggle is not worth it, for walkthorugh the PDFs are just perfect. And there is a reason why DPC himself is posting the officla PDF walkthorughs at discord and patreon.

this here is not official but really nice too, especially if youre searching for the collectibles or are a bit lazy doing the mansion minigame.

First playthroughs should be blind though...

If you like the game, i would recommend to at least play 2 playthroughs without any help. One Chick route and one DIK of course... after that you might sense that there are so many possiblities you want to check out, that you will try even more...

Well, of course you dont have to be so crazy like me... did my 17th playthrough now, or i should better say, the 17th savegame imported for season 3... did many more but didnt saved them for the future ^^

Maya has pretty much twice as much RP as Josy
Unless I added( I check twice) wrong this is actually %100 WRONG max points Maya has 38 Josy 36 sure points will defer on how you play but Maya's lead is very small even with having more time with MC ;) :geek::unsure:

Better not if you're playing first time.

There is not much traps and they either obvious or just don't trigger if don't take stupid decisions. Well, of course you free to make those stupid decisions just to see what happens :KEK:

But I still wouldn't recommend to use any mod or walkthrough during first run.
Yeah biggest trap in the official guide:

The wording for this pure tricked me on my first run

i am sorry, but this is unacceptable, now i will be forced to report you!!! dyslexia is a recognized disorder and in this way you are disrespecting all those who are affected. this is very serious!!!





fortunately for you I am just chronically distracted so I will forget to report you and I still haven't figured out if her name is Cathe or Cathy
Maybe one of your alts will report me... :unsure:

As for Cathy, it's Cathy, idk where you come up with the Cathe shit. Is she supposed to be Greek? :Kappa:

I don't think it would work well in practice. First of all, the MC's relationship with Bella or Maya/Josy is supposed to be a secret, so in half the LI paths it's not clear how Zoey would know to stay away. But far more importantly, it would make the Interlude completely pointless. Why did we need to see her slowly coming to terms with how much the MC meant to her if she's just going to write him off at the first opportunity?
I mean, even if it's a secret, if she throws herself at MC, he's going to have to reject her, he might tell her he doesn't want people to know about who he's dating, but if Zoey spends a little bit of time at B&R with him, she'll probably figure out quite easily who the girl is.
She just needs to go to the library with him, the way MC and Maya&Josy/Bella interact with each other in there hasn't been really that subtle so far and I doubt it'll change that much :ROFLMAO:

Sorry, but in what reality did the fact that the loved one is currently in a relationship stop someone? at 20...

Zoey comes back on purpose to take back what she thinks is hers and should raise the white flag because MC has met someone in the meantime? Did Zoey give you the impression of such a balanced person?

she will go there to MC, do her crying ("I didn't realize," "now I know what I want") and MC will go into a crisis like the one in chapter four ("I should have waited for her," "how could I forget her so soon")

do you expect to see the "I'm sorry Zoey, but I've moved on now" option?

I agree with what you're saying.
My main problem with pretty much every NTR lover out there is that they see a good game and then go into the thread and ask if there's NTR.
This usually leads to them then saying the game would be so much better with NTR.

When they keep getting shat on by the people in the thread they start acting like victims and whine.

Wait a week/month and it repeats itself.

The same goes for the incest crowd.
What's with all the kink shaming?
I very much enjoy NTR and incest in adult games but there is a big difference between games and real life.
Blowing people's heads off in Fallout is good fun, but that doesn't mean I want to do that in real life. Nor do I want to have sex with relatives or have my girlfriend have sex with other people. And I do think murdering people is way worse than watching your wife getting boned by some random dude.
Even if I'm playing adult games that are so-called my pov, it's still just a game and none of the characters are real or relatives.
And no, I don't think Being a DIK needs NTR or incest, it's great the way it is. Not whining or claiming victimhood, just giving my opinion. And I wont repeat it in a week/month. Guess that makes me unusual amongst the NTR lovers and the incest crowd, I highly doubt it though.
But hey, at least we can agree that Sage is the best girl ;).

:HideThePain: Let the cringe begin
MC: "Damn I shouldn't have banged half the girls in B&R" :LUL:
that would be great!!!

instead I can already imagine MC feeling guilty for believing that Zoey, Zoey the rebel, had found a guy in San Diego, trusting that awful picture of Emma showing Zoey half naked on the beach. how could he of all people think that Zoey could find someone in a small town like San Diego!?!!!

Yes, kinda. I know MC will probably second guess his feelings towards Zoey and the LI we chose at the end of EP8, Zoey will probably throw herself at MC with all her might; there'll be drama between Zoey and the LIs and between the LIs and MC himself, but in the end I'm expecting for us players to have the choice to stop Zoey's advances.

This !

I mean, damn, people may not want Zoey to have anything to do with MCs relationship, but she's an integral part of the story DPC is writing. She won't vanish because some don't want to see her.

Do people really think the MC, who thought he lost his best friend/first love, 'loved Josy at first sight when he saw her' after grieving, without knowing what grieving was (and while Josy isn't tattooed, she is similar to Zoey on a lot of points, being pretty much pure neutral), will simply push her aside like she's nothing when she comes back and tells him it was a big fucking Emma/Bert misunderstanding and that she comes back for him ?

Look at his face, his reaction, the floor he's standing on suddenly disappeared, doubts came back full force, cause he obviously never forgot her. Not saying he will instantly go back to her, but there will be drama, that's for sure, I guess especially depending of MCs choice at the end of Episode 8, the path he chose, his reputation, and Zoey choices we made on her DIK/Chick affinity. The MC was the first and only person she ever was intimate with, let's not forget that.

But you're talking at the end of Zoey's cycle, I meant now at her arrival

technically MC is committed to an LI (Others option aside and if nopn has been dumped by Jill), but I don't believe he will peremptorily bounce Zoey even if I see him

the face of someone who is sure of his feelings and will vindicate the relationship he has just established (with Jill and M&J there is still the risk that he will be rejected on the fly) :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
