I mean...I don't know specific dates, but if you waited this long, you may as well wait until may or something. Thats when the estimate is for it to be out, but you know...life happens. It could be sooner, could be longer. but I think if you have other games in your back log or whatever, you could wait for this. I personally discovered the game 3 days ago and have been playing it constantly, which has me down to 2 more runs to finish up. Its a sad feeling to hit a cliff hanger (and it does it every time, so not sure saying wait for the next one helps), but every episode is full of stuff.

If you are a DIK you can't be with J&M so you're free to go with Jade.

Oh good, I can get my Jade fix on my DIK save, thats reassuring.

I dunno, suppose I see how it goes. I'm just worried something really tragic happens if you DON'T go her route, so like...there is one time you make her happy, and like 6 other times where something absolutely miserable happens to her, its not a good feel. There are those VNs out there, where sure, you give each of the heroines a good ending as you play for them, but their story indicates if you DON'T choose them...well yeah. Again, just hoping thats not the case here, I am also a fan of bella. (someone posted a thing for team milf, I am all for that, I'd love to go for that XD)

Yea and we all know what the Dev did on Acting Lessons that fucked me up and i been messed up ever since

Thanks. I guess I will just wait abit more than :/

 

[lordranhorny]

The discussion of the dark background reminds me of the opening passage at first launch. I have purposely gone through the settings to play it again.

I didn't even remember it was Jill who DPC sent to warned us.

WW2 flashbacks intensifies

 

[lordranhorny]

So, just for recap, the best thing to do in episode 4 would be stay at Bella's, amirite? If you want Sage and Bella this is the only way you dont lose romance points with Bella, cause you still get invited to the HOTS movie night, i just hope i dont lose romance points with Sage for not staying with her and missing that moment in the pool

 

[SpikeZg]

Sage was the best option for a roommate in ep4, the whole HOT house experience was just awesome

 

[Real Kreten]

when EP5 drops, which path are you going for first?
for me, i'll try DIK path with hope that there will be a romance option with Camila

Neutral path with M&J only.
So if it was free of content for MandJ, as some wish, I'd be a little impoverished in the main path.

Otherwise, Maya looks like a cowardly hypocrite, but I believe that with enough support from me and Jojo, she will work on her insecurity and fulfill the ideals she carries in her hearth.
I understand her mistakes and flaws.

 

[Zatanna2]

What are your other options while all of this bullshit happening with those 2? Jill, Bella, Sage as LIs, Quinn, Camila, Riona, Sarah, Melanie, Mona, Jade. Yeah no thanks, absolute no need for this drama in MC's life.

well i really like Jill and Sage but they're completely on different path

 

[Reddy.97]

Do we have a date of the new patch?


How many time does the OP updates the game? Thanks in advance.

 

[Raptus Puellae]

Like, okay...maya lied. but the point isn't that she lied, its WHY she did.

it's simple... at first she was simply "I;ll tell him that I have a boyfriend so he won't be hitting on me" but then feelings came and she never had the chance to explain what was going on.

So...my "bang a teacher" didn't go as...uh...planned, is there actually a way to sleep with Jade?

Edit: to clarify, do I really have to choose one or the other between the options that night? (I actually didn't even see how I could get to Jade)

don't lose hope, even if you missed your chance this time, there might be another further down the line

So, just for recap, the best thing to do in episode 4 would be stay at Bella's, amirite? If you want Sage and Bella this is the only way you dont lose romance points with Bella, cause you still get invited to the HOTS movie night, i just hope i dont lose romance points with Sage for not staying with her and missing that moment in the pool

I wouldn't bother as much with the points, but by staying with Bella you lose a ton of opportunities with Sage.

 

[Wizard_Shiryuu]

it's simple... at first she was simply "I;ll tell him that I have a boyfriend so he won't be hitting on me" but then feelings came and she never had the chance to explain what was going on.

And that's when undoing the lie made it worse than not saying anything.
EDIT: And don't forget they lived together. They lived together and she didn't find a moment to explain!

I'm not telling you how to live your life, but the ending in AL makes it worth pushing through the revealation

 

[barbatoscloud]

Fucking update come on I need my wifey Bella

give me high five . team bella

 

[Mormont]

now i'm sad...you made me remember that shitbreak...*sigh missed opportunity

All though I wouldn't say he is the real authority he seems to lack a set that's for sure I can see Jade end up taking over his role.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

Agree. The overreaction felt really bizarre. Specially because it happens no matter what is the protagonist's alignment.

To me it was the moment when the author took the story out of my hands to force one specific plot progression.
Things got better by the end of the episode, when you get the choices back to your hands, but i do hope nothing like that happens again.

The MC was falling for both Maya and Josy, catching more feelings for them than any other LI at this point. He didn't want to lose Josy but also wanted to pursue Maya, yet he knew he'd have to choose one or the other eventually. However, when he finds out that the two girls he has the strongest feelings for are in a relationship, it's a painful revelation because having been pursuing both of them and hoping he can at least keep one of them, he feels like he's now lost both of them. It's two crushing heartbreaks at once on top of not having known about Maya being in a relationship.

For me, his reaction is totally understandable because if I felt like I just lost 2 girls I liked at the same time, I'd want to get the hell out of there as well. Being on the DIK path doesn't make him a callous person without any feelings, it just makes him more of a fun-loving, partying, frat boy type of person.

Like, okay...maya lied. but the point isn't that she lied, its WHY she did. and looking at things and how they shaped up, all three like each other so...I don't really see the problem.

She lied to spare her own feelings because she's been hurt before when people found out about her and she has trouble trusting people because of it. That and growing up in a strict religious household where she was likely indoctrinated for many years into believing that what she felt was wrong. She keeps a strong guard up and it takes a lot to break it down, but in the meantime she's doing things that are unintentionally damaging her relationship with the MC.

It's a fact of life that those who keep things from others to spare their own feelings often end up hurting the ones they're keeping things from. That very human trait is fully on display in Maya and I feel that it shows that DPC has a really good understanding of human behaviour and pyschology which is what makes his games feel so real and raw.

give me high five . team bella

if you had anyone on team Bella highfiving you... by the end your hand would look like minced meat

 

[Holy Bacchus]

This is one thing I will disagree with on some level when it comes to Maya because she certainly had ample opportunity to tell him. What most often tends to be the case is that a person in her situation would probably feel like there wasn't a "right" time to tell them, and if you're constantly waiting for what you to deem to be the "right" time, that is what can make you feel like you never had a chance because no time ever felt "right".

It still doesn't make it any better, but it's another typically human trait where we put off doing something important for so long that we miss out on the opportunity to do it.

 

[Mormont]

I think people are looking into this game too seriously lmao. What is this thread lol?

Probably best to ignore it a lot of what is being said is wrong and purely fan fiction

All those pathetic excuses you listed STILL doesn't justify how badly Maya wrong'd MC especially with how honest, kind and supportive he's been of her. I couldn't possibly be in a relationship with someone so hypocritically dishonest and manipulative.

I'm surprised at the reaction of this Maya has only just started to tell us everything now after dropping the Josy bomb on us.
