If you're talking about practicing Jill's song for the Episode 8 performance, this is not true (unless DPC patched it after 0.8.2). You can absolutely practice the song even if you never make a move on Jill (beyond the required tennis date).Just tested it and for some reason I couldn't practice the song for Jill. Went through my saves and fast-forwarded to get the 1st time. The 2nd time only gave me a bit of trivial dialogue and the third time wasn't even possible at all.
It does seem to be a Jill-only thing then.
I did different mix and matches ones on every paths, mainly because I wanted to see the difference between the 2 levels and getting nothing between various girls.What was your Gift distribution on various runs? For mine Lily one only Derek and Bella got very nice. Sage calling Lily "someone like her" didn't go well with him.
Though passing Early Jill checks enables MC to tell Jill to change songs.If you're talking about practicing Jill's song for the Episode 8 performance, this is not true (unless DPC patched it after 0.8.2).

You need to practice the song at least twice (I think), and you have three opportunities to do so: once in Episode 4 (in Derek's room, Sage's room, or Bella's house depending on where the MC is staying), once in Episode 6 (during the first free roam in the MC's new room), and once in Episode 8 (again, the first free roam in the MC's room). There are other times when the guitar is clickable, but the MC won't feel like practicing then for reasons. You have to practice during those three opportunities, but they are not gated otherwise.

[Sadly, the new phone obscures the whole screen in Episode 8, but take my word for it, that's the MC practicing in Episode 8.]
As long as you get the practice in, the MC can play at the concert and help Jill get past her stage fright regardless of whether he's on her path. There will be more interaction with her if he is on her path, though.
Agreed 1000% dude. It was already my least favorite route but now I don't even want to play it. I just read your statement as if you didn't know what made you get the Maya solo scene instead of Josy. I had the same issue so I looked at it with URM and found out that being a good boyfriend to Maya switched the variable for me from Josy to Maya several times during the dinner.Fair enough, that's sort of my problem with it though. Treating Maya well shouldnt mean you are treating Josy badly (Necessarily). The far more logical thing to do would have been to let you go date both, tell them both you love them and then have them break up and make you choose. What's the point in allowing you to be balanced, even to the point of commenting on it at Halloween and then having one of them drop out because someone called her basic and the MC hugged the other one. It's a silly way of handeling and it make me not want to pursue that route.
So helping Maya the best way during thanks giving which I do in my all runs of which none is Throuple or even into Maya switches Josy to Maya. Damn that's crazy.Agreed 1000% dude.

When I say "Fling", I don't mean the usual fling/one night/fuckfriend. I'm talking about the cute "We shouldn't, I promised my brother I would never date a DIK... but I like you so much". Which would work very well with the "Chick aligned/romantic path". I call it a fling because I still have doubt there would be an endgame with a new character, this late in the game. So, it might be cut short (because of Nick, maybe Vinny since he's probably close to the family.. maybe she just feel bad for her brother)Even Nick and Nikita are literally the same names. Maybe for a reason. And she seems to be a Chick allinged romantic path rather than some Fling with Vixens

Throuple was my main route because of Josy, but god this chapter turned me off. The constent pushing for choosing one of them instead of the other (or at least, not including the option to chose both), when the whole point was that the 3 love each others. I like Josy, but I want Maya and Josy to be together. When she finally can do it, it feel like the MC is just breaking them up instead and create jealousy.As someone who doesn't likes Throuple at all (hence no MC Tommy feud), this episode made Tommy favourite frat brother second only to Derek. Loved how he backed MC when Nick started gaslighting MC. Alongside WWTD and Tommy gushing how party is awesome because how he taught me.
I think initially Tommy got really upset since you kept it from him instead of coming clean. Which let's be fair, a lot of us would feel rubbed the wrong way.Throuple was my main route because of Josy, but god this chapter turned me off.

For Tommy, even when you're in the throuple, he seems to come around and playfully call you "Sisterfucker".
Depending on whether episode development times continue to grow the way they have over Season 3 so far, it could easily be 2035 before the game is finished (on a linear growth projection). If you assume geometric growth, it'll be even longer; if you assume the growth will slow down, it'll be sooner.Alright thanks, so one more season to go, I'll wait until then to play the game
According to the latest update from DPC, it's sometime after next Friday (21st) and the general release of the episode.What's the ETA for the official guide for chapter 11? I've missed shedloads of renders on the free-roams.
I don't remember when, or the exact words, but Tommy said it best (during Season 2 I think, or maybe at the start of Ep9?): "I don't want any guys sleeping with my sister and use it to make fun of me after".I think initially Tommy got really upset since you kept it from him instead of coming clean. Which let's be fair, a lot of us would feel rubbed the wrong way.
Although at the same time, Tommy does like MC and appreciates him for everything he has done for the frat. So he eventually moves on, accepting that if his sister does end up dating someone, MC is probably one of the better options since he doesn't really boast about it or mock Tommy over it.
Just my perspective on it though.
You mean if you fail to bring Bella around and then tell Jill to stay away from you? Interesting. I'd never tried that route but it looks like switching those variables does lock out the guitar practicing. I didn't know that was possible."The date with Jill was good but I don't think she's my kind of girl."
You're still on her path bro...you didn't reject her. That was my point. If you say that you might not be right for her, you can't practice anymore.
