so one tip I got for the Josy & Maya path is that I must follow a CHICK path. Neutral works but way less fun and DIK doesn't match with Maya in particular.
Also got a heads up to not fuck anyone other than J&M for the sake of gathering points with them in EP9, points for fidelity and stuff.
"must" is the wrong word... you HAVE to be either chick or neutral so start their path in episode 4, afterwards your are free to change affinity in the way you like... with the changing attitude of the MC included, which leads to a few (very few) changing scenes with Josy, and even less with Maya.
The Dik affinity just doesnt fit Josy or Maya right though... it feels off. Though Josy has bit of a knack to go "dik" sometimes... overall, she is clearly not a dik persona. If you are a dik in episode 4, they reject you for a reason. But so far... if you change to dik AFTER episode 4, there are no real consequences in the path, so basically, a dik run works too.
It all depends on the way YOU feel about how the MC acts towards others. The overall "nice guy" attitude is more fitting in my book... and as a chick you get some extra options here and there, not many though (but as i said a sweet lewd scene with Maya, love that)... i think 2? Whatever. Neutral choices are basically not existent. But as a neutral character you can do either chick or dik actions during the game (not Josy and Maya related) like taking drugs and such, so iam talking about those "major" affinity choices... if you like those scenes and want to have a free choice everytime, neutral would be better i guess? Dont know... Chick is my prefered route for most playthroughs... i dont like taking drugs in general, and people with "attitude" are not my cup of tea either. I have more than 20 different savegames, an only 3 are with dik affinity, 4 are neutral, rest is chick.
But its up to you... in my opinion the chick affinity is more wholesome fitting for Josy & Maya...
But well, thats counting peas really. I would recommend Chick... neutral works fine too, dik feels very off and there is a reason they reject any DIK affinity character in episode 4, so i think sometimes in the future a dik MC will loose both... just like you lose Jill as a dik later on. But thats only my gut feeling. Eitherway... besides a few little encounters with Josy, there is nothing worth it to play as a DIK going for Josy and Maya... cause the overall attitude as a DIK is just not the style Josy and Maya have... especially not Maya.
Not fucking anyone gives you some extra RP at the end of ep9... though they dont really matter, but it just feels nice to see the surprised faces of J&M when they relaise you are attached to them, and ONLY them.
BUT... you can slip ONE time and still get the extra RPs with them in RP9, i mention that because... if you want to win hell week, you need at least one sexual encounter, with either envy in the pink rose, or quinn at the cum petition, otherwise it will be a loss or draw no matter what. This one time will not bother J&M though...
