Yeah, having the choice of who to spend time with in the throuple forced on your this Episode felt pretty crappy. I suspect it was just to make some drama that can possible be resolved in Episode 12 if you're making healthy poly decisions, or be used as a catalyst for a breakup if you've bade a bunch of bad decisions.

And I agree with your conclusion. It'd essentially be a massive bait-and-switch if there's an unavoidable breakup there.

The thoughts that I mentioned having shared already are quoted below, if you're interested.
The thing is, with potentially at least 3 more episodes of main story to go (according to DPC) it doesn't even necessarily have to be resolved in Ep 12. This next Ep could just be one where the MC realises it's not been going as well as he might have thought, kind of like how Maya didn't seem to think the communication between her Josy was as bad Josy thought it was. So by the same token, the MC may not be very aware of issues involving himself and his communication with the girls not to mention the fact of not giving them an equal amount of his time.

With the conversation they have at Bella's, it feels like a "reset" moment for them, and a proper one this time. For the first time that we've seen, they've properly opened up to each other about their issues and concerns instead of just "following the stream", as Josy put it, by simply sidestepping them in order to focus on resolving Maya's loan situation. If they bring this to the MC and they all realise things need to improve if they want this to work, it could be that it goes a few more episodes to give them and players that chance now that the characters realise they have things to work on. They can address any imbalance and maybe it could even be considered wiped clean in terms of the scene choices previously made and there will now be choices going forward that truly decide it.

As to what you said in that prevous post, I don't know if I'd go so far as to say an unachievable throuple twice in 2 games would be any sign of "prejudice", but it certainly isn't the best thing a dev can do to keep playing around with their audience like this. And yes, he'd never make the monogamous MG branches impossible to achieve no matter what choices you make, so it really would be incredibly unfair to do this to a MG branch just because it's a relationship with 2 girls.

Does anyone know how I can stop dating Nicole sometime in S3? And not just by rolling with Lily, I mean neither of them.
Well, if you accept Zoey's confession that's likely going to put a stop to dating other people, including both Nicole and Lily. :whistle:

(ok ok probably not what you want either. i don't think there's any direct option, but Ep.12 might be shaking things up, relationships-wise. So there's always hope)

don't start dating her in the first place? :ROFLMAO:
Anyway if you don't want to start from the beginning, here is a screen of my Nicole variables where I'm dating her until end of EP11, change the true/false values to the opposite and should probably be fine like it never happened.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Sorry for bringing it up again but I just remembered how the dating Nicole starts and that I didn't even go on a date with her in EP.10 this run, also that variable is stuck as unchangeable in Scrappy too. Is my save file itself possibly corrupted?

believe it or not my opinion of Quinn has change over time, maybe I'm going soft but quinndemption has a nice sound to it
Wow just wow, that was something coming from a Quinn hater but I do understand were you're coming from. She showing her vulnerable side and that is make him more human
Was posted several days ago, lost in thread post-release chaos

Throuple Episode 11
You should make a compilation post once the thread slows down. I only remember reading your Sage and Jill and now the Quinn post the J/M, Bella and some of your others (if there is) reviews have been buried to the thread.

Prejudice might be a strong word, but I'd argue it'd at a minimum suggest an unjustified bias. If the supposed rational for poly relationships unavoidably breaking up is "realism" or something like that, then an unbiased position would also have several of the monogamous paths have unavoidable breakups as well. Half of the main LI Epilogues would unavoidably show the MC and their chosen LI in a marriage that ends in divorce since "realistically" 40-50% of marriages end that way. But that's never going to happen, so repeatedly treating poly relationships in such a negative manner when the actual real life evidence doesn't suggest they should be would indicate that the monogamous paths are held in a privileged position comparatively.

In any case, you're right that it could take longer than Episode 12 to resolve things, especially if we have another 4 Episodes on Season 4 or something like that. I do think it could serve as a breaking point however, even if the results of that branching plays out over multiple episodes.

While Quinn has done bad things she not some heartless bitch she was raised to be bad and that what she thinks she is bad yet deep inside there probably a part of her that good

I think it's 4 special renders. But yeah, it's only renders you get from it. There's a few guides to solving it floating around there too though if you want.

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with season 3. When I want to start a run, it always crashes at the same frame, this one exactly: The save is not modded and the game is completely clean. If someone could help me I would be very thankful.
