Now I'm curious what you guys have chosen from those moments where the Paths diverged in your main playthrough.
Stay with Derek, Sage or Bella when Josy arrives at college
Josy & Maya or Jade
Jill or Bella
And among the five girls at the end of season 2
I'm a completionist so I choose everything.
I like staying with Bella most, but in truth where you choose to stay matters less than what options were available. You join the HOTs movie night if Sage was an option even if you aren't staying with her and if she wasn't an option you don't join.
Jade only if you want that ticking time bomb in your run. MJ only if you pursue them or want to lead them on. Neither is very much an option.
Not sure what you mean by Jill or Bella. So often both is an option. Did you perhaps mean Jill or Sage? As in choosing to look after Sage or going to a picnic with Jill? I prefer Sage, but again very much depends on what I want to have later. And you can also do neither if you aren't on either path, but I usually go to Sage even if she is in the friend zone.
The ep 8 choice? Well all of them are definitely worth playing. I'm going to start ep 12 from my Bella saves and then unless something grabs my curiosity move on to Sage saves, then Jill, then Maya, then Josy, then Others. I'm not listing an order for Others variations as I expect to be heavily influenced by the main runs, but I will be starting with Zoey as switching to Zoey is part of exploring all the main paths and I'll want to see the guilt free variant of Zoey.
Yes, best girl

But not best-est girl
I don't like how Sage and Bella require fooling around with them in order to stay with them. I mean I get it, but it sucks for pure paths if I don’t want Derek's goddamn toe in my mouth
Bella's not best-est girl, she's best woman.
I agree, I've never been a fan of that gate-keeping. I can kind of understand Sage not being available more than Bella since letting a guy stay at the sorority is a pretty big rule violation but to limit it to only being allowed if you're her side piece is still dumb.
Well it's not that fooling around is a requirement with Bella, it's that fulfilling the requirement immediately leads to fooling around. It's correlation not cause and effect. The choice is to go see Bella or ignore her after talking to Jill. If MC ignores Bella he puts her at a distance and won't be able to stay with her. If he goes to see her, he will be comfortable with going to her for help, but going to see her is a case of one thing leading to another.
Sage isn't quite the same. With her the fooling around is very much part of the cause, but it's more that she needed to feel desired and denying that puts distance between her and MC and he won't be able to go to her for help.
In both cases it's the distance that shuts the door. You just don't have an option for being close without getting sexual. And the lack of that option is natural because MC is a not-even-19-year-old unattached guy and Sage and Bella are both sexually frustrated.
