our opinions about the characters arise from their behaviour and/or the size of their boobs.I just replayed that scene for a 7th playtrough today and it's quite surprising to see how react Jill, but i don't think we should see too much here, it's more just a way that DPC used to show us that there is some challenge with Tybalt. Make the MC a little jalous especially after beeing totally ignored during the conversation between Jill and Tybalt.
In this game we try much too hard to find clues or hidden motives, the story is mostly quite simple with a lot of plot holes or inconsistancies.
It does not make that story bad, it's just a story written day after day during a long period of time with adjustments, DPC a done a great job in the depiction of characters and their relations, but many aspects of the story are weak, so we should not see too much in a simple scene like that and write a whole book about it!
so you can't disregard what they do, otherwise we'll just have to make volumetric evaluations.
if a behaviour is repeated I assume it's part of the character, or at least part of the way DPC wants us to know about it
Tybalt doesn't generate any jealousy, he doesn't have any prerequisites, I'm surprised that in the shower scene they didn't show him as Ken from Barbie, completely demasculated, instead at the end he has the same intimate qualities of Derek
that they are all stupid seems a better solution to you? the story is not made to make Maya look stupid but to get her in trouble all the timeI dont blame Quinn for liying. If you blame her for anything, that lie is defenetely not an issue. It's simple that you cant blame Maya for being angry if she is being lied right in the face. Specially since Mona it's obviously scared. Maybe the "smart" move is not getting angry and hit her in the face, but it is the most satisfactory for sure.
About Maya being an idiot... well but you said that because we know what the free tuition was, and that was illigal. In Maya's shoes she didnt knew what was going on. She knew Quinn hate her, she knew was being lied and she was angry for that.
Yeah, she tried to do a scandal. Yeah, that's usually not the smart move. But, what was she going to loose at that point? At best is an emotional move. Emotional means stupid? I disagree. Look at SSheldon Cooper.
Yes,i can totally say "That's the story", Shazba. The issue here is that Maya is not meant to be stupid. Arieth is ment to be stupid, Anthony and Dawe are meant to be stupid, Derek meant to be silly, Jill naive... but Maya dont. Weak perhaps but not stupid. That's the story.
To say: "Maya is stupid" is to rebel against the story, to argue against it. Not that's bad, i hated a series of books once, i was really angry against them, but my opinions werent cannon, couse i was simple trashing the story. I didn't blame the characters, i blamed the author. It was her fault.
That's why i bring Josy, MC, and the campus involvement. Is not to blame other characters. My idea was to prove that Maya is not meant to be. If Maya is stupid couse she thought he could get away with the free tuition without doing anything (that's what i meant for free), then the MC is even more stupid... or he is really an ashole. But, is he? I don't think so.
And if the MC is neither stupid or an ashole then Maya isn't. If you still find Maya to be stupid, ok. You have a good argument. But since she is not meant to be... then it's DPC fault. And then it's either we sayd, this story is completele full of stupid people or we sayd, you know what, i dont care, in this fictional world it has sense.
Episode 7 spent some time saying that Sage is smart. But is she? She was in a 1 or 2 years relationship with a gay, never noticed. She trust an obvious deceptive drug delear. Is she stupid? Well in real world for sure, but in this game she is not.
Quinn is another example. She screw her best client in a difficult economic moment without any reason. We have talk about Jill, also being stupid. Jade let the MC film her during sex with a student, right afer Cathy incident. Bella slept in the DIK mansion with a student after Cathy incident. Thats bloody stupid. Is Bella meant to be stupid? Ofc not.
So yeah, they are all stupid. Or neither of them are, is just a story who takes some freedom.
MC only knows about free tuition from Maya's words, he has no other direct contact with the matter, could he have informed himself instead of Maya? probably yes, but then we have to establish that Maya could have done so too.
Josy ditto I'd say, and considering her reaction at the end of the 6th chapter she's not shown as convinced, in the end "it was just a rumor".
but once you get around the most extreme points on the list, why would MC and Josy stop her? Josy had fun and wanted to get into HOTs, MC doesn't have a television, has never seen an air-conditioned car and should have crushed Maya's dream?
she wanted to try, the two of them assisted her
