Finally got through the runs on the steam version, had to pay for the game after realizing how good it was.

I’ve got to say that I’m nervous about our boy Derek. That character is so likeable, no matter which run you do to the point that DPC might have developed a GRRM-like desire to kill him.
Now I'm intrigued, why do you think so ?

Maya is plagued by her supreme lack of confidence, something she seems to be finding more and more when the MC is around. She is smart, smarter than she appear at some points, and naive, you brought up good points about her upbringing, which ain't helping her at all. On the rare occasions she snapped, she was great, that slap on Quinn or that #FuckYouDawe moment on Rooster for example, but then her doubts comes back.

Hope DPC develops her more in the next episodes cause she really is lagging behind, that tuition thing has to resolve itself, one way or another.
In my opinion, a girl who believes she is being given a scholarship by winning a highly sexual treasure hunt is more brave and self-confident (bordering on reckless) than smart.

Or we explain it all away with desperation, but this path erases everything

Despair is likely an option. People who find themselves in a hopeless situation think worse and may lose touch with reality. They act impulsively and without hesitation, grasping at the slightest hope.
And as a result, more often than others they become scammer victims.

Actually, you're right, some scenes at the library came back to mind, smart isn't the word I should have used.

But she is desperate, and reckless because of that, but especially naive enough to believe someone like Quinn, to her delight.

The rare instances where she was confident, she stood strong and took charge, but damn those are rare moments.

if you are referring to the slap to Quinn that is the rabbit biting the wolf when his back is to the wall, an example of desperation (the relationship between the two doesn't change at all)

the problem with despair is that we want to give it a big role, it becomes completely dominant, like with drug addiction

how much does desperation weigh in Maya accepting MC's "sexual" help? how much does it weigh in every single choice we've seen her make?

in the end we would have to conclude that, for better or worse, we don't know Maya at all (and in this Josy is also of little use, because it's not like the two girls know each other that well)

It's possible ho be smart and thumb at the same time, depends on the actions you have to make. Maya seems to be intelligent but lost in some cases (same with Jill), remembers me like another fictional character, Donald Duck, who is (sometimes) thumb and doesn't get anything done but when put on the suit and wears the mask he changes into an intelligent hero.

Definitely, but thinking of Maya smartness is not the first characteristic to come to mind, just like with Donald Duck

We should probably also keep in mind that the scholarship at some point becomes pretty much a public promise made not by some random girl, but by the VP of the sorority in question. Regardless of how abrasive she may appear, Quinn's position lends certain credibility to the matter (and the MC fucks up big time with that vague warning instead of spelling it out for Maya just what kind of shit Quinn is pulling)

loved thew game, cant wait for season 3. however two big grips.. all the hype leading up the haloween party.. then nothing. could have at least finished with that.. but my biggest dissapointment was with Jill. so much time pursuing her that i really wanted a happy ending with her and to come to the decision at the end truely sucked and felt like the whole jill thing was pointless. she was by far the best girl in the story.

Another fan of Jill playing the game the right way

Josy does not appear at all surprised that it is all a farce in the end

And mc initially tries to warn Maya about Quinn's trustworthiness, except that he later decides to join the unicorn hunt as well, but basically it is Josy's arrival that breaks down all resistance

I think it's more of just a bit of selfishness on Josy's part -- whether the scholarship turned out to be real or not, it doesn't affect Josy personally as much as it affects Maya, and she's very happy her own dream of getting into college sorority was fulfilled. So she doesn't get all that upset over it. Also, since Josy wasn't present when the promise was made, she's probably more skeptical about it in general.

The "warning" MC gives Maya was truly facepalming affair, more so because it's character under player's control and yet you're effectively prevented from revealing some very important info. But then that's pretty much par for the course for soap operas which rely on misunderstandings and lack of communication to keep the plot going, so, ehh. as annoying as it is.

Jill said she didn't want to be your girl in front of Tybalt and the entire audience at the restaurant?
Many here know this feeling. :LOL:

I'm not sure I totally understand what you mean, did she reject you in the end ?

Cause if she did, you did something wrong en route, you kinda need to be her silver knight til the end.
