I just wish making out with Bella doesn't cost us more then a girl.I wonder why so many people here haven't understood yet that this game's philosophy is: "you have to pay the price for what you did, buddy".
Are you a DIcK? you have to pay the price, sooner or later.
Did you make out with a lot of chicks? you have to pay the price with the main girls.
Did you make out with more than 1 main girl? you have to pay the price with the other girls.
Did you make out with Jade? you have to pay the price with Sage.
Did you make out with Cathy? you have to pay the price with Bella.
Did you make out with Bella? you have to pay the price with Jill.
Did you favour Josy over Maya? you have to pay the price with Maya.
Did you favour Maya over Josy? you have to pay the price with Josy.
Did you make out with Quinn & the HOTs? you have to pay the price with everybody else!
Can't you understand it? it's your loss, folks.
dont think that the game will last that long that we will see Sage leaving College. (if nothing surprising happens to her)Sage is my favorite girl in the game, definitely. I wonder if a happy ending is possible with her, given that this is her last year and then she leaves. Maybe she will stay as a teacher and settle in the same city. For me, there is a lot of passion and uncertainty in a relationship with her, which is why I like them so much.
Sage should not be her own romance but be as part of the others. It would fit her character much more and i think that even in the game its way too soon for her to be in a another relationship.also completed the Sage run.
WHAT TO SAY... DPC has definitely been the rebound guy of a girl like Sage, and now he wants to take revenge... Sage's story is overall the most dramatic, bordering on grotesque, of BADIk, and this path of humiliation, more or less conscious, continues.
I think that the scene of Sage, if she is not in a relationship with MC, going to Chad to try to convince him to admit his betrayal is the saddest in the game...
sa "Stop with the lies. I'm not going to hit you again."
sa "And I can be honest with you too. I've cheated too."
sa "Well, I tried to. And I wanted to."![]()
they are even, Chad cheated on her, she thought about it....
she also has an alzheimer's moment when she explains to MC her family situation and how she decided to ask them for help for Maya, but doesn't think it's appropriate to anticipate who her adoptive parents are... Well it is not an isolated case at BR... it must be the cafeteria
we discover that Sage hasn't given up yet even with Mona, always thought it was impossible otherwise, now I would hardly say they won't be able to talk to her and give her her role in the final confrontation with Burke
but in the same scene a new humiliation for Sage who apologizes for his behavior humbly to Sara and Melanie, who, it is still not clear why, have been maneuvering behind his back anyway.
of course Sage continues to be humiliated by Quinn, who basically just has bad manners, but she remains her heir apparent and has her complete trust, no matter what she does or doesn't do.
and then basically there is the relationship with Mc which is a roller coaster. a first part all cuddles, confidences and complicity, she even lets him sleep in her bed...
then, as a gift to us players, the threesome with Quinn, which is welcome, but it remains quite anomalous and contrasting with everything else. then basically there are 2 situations: if MC is also in a relationship with Quinn it is a pretty cowardly betrayal, otherwise it remains a very strange stage of their journey...
practically with Sage, MC comes to the decision of a "monogamous" relationship in this way
1) Sage points out the age difference between the two of them and therefore the fact that she will soon be leaving to face a new life
2) threesome with Quinn (only sex with Sage)
3) Sage admits that she found it very exciting to see him having sex with another girl (if you're born fuckbuddy, you die fuckbuddy)
4) MC goes to the recital, where everyone but Sage is present, and there he decides he has a decision to make.
5) He decides to have a stable relationship with the one LIs who told him she's not ready for a stable relationship....
Of the LIs, Sage remains the most interesting character, but this mistreatment of her has to stop....
sooner or later the time will come when she will have to find out that her best friend, her right hand man, is prostituting her "daughters" with her stepfather...
Thus DPC's new game "Daddy Dearest" will begin.sooner or later the time will come when she will have to find out that her best friend, her right hand man, is prostituting her "daughters" with her stepfather...
Open relationships aren't unhealthy. Dishonesty is. If you can be in a mono relationship and be honest with your partner your good. If you can be in a Poli relationship and be honest with your partner your good. If you can be in a mono relationship and can't be honest with your partner you're in a bad relationship. If your in a poly relationship and can't be honest with your partner you're in a bad relationship. Tommy and Heather are in a bad relationship period it's not because it's open that its a bad relationship it's because they are dishonest with one another though that's only tommy being dishonest that we know of.dont think that the game will last that long that we will see Sage leaving College. (if nothing surprising happens to her)
Overall i would say the whole game will maybe include one whole semester, not much more, at most 1 whole year, but dont think so... its not entirely clear how much time passed until now, but we were traveling from summer to fall, reaching Halloween soon and completed the midterms... so maybe, about... hm 3 months ingame? and i think we reached about the half or 2/3 of the game for now. If there will not be a time-jump ahead, i think the game will end at the end of the semester. And than maybe there are some epilogues reaching a bit ahead in the future.
As for Sage... for me this relationship just didnt work for now... very rocky path. At first she is a slut/bitch, than she uses you as a comfort/rebound guy without any feelings attached (of course the MCs goes along, so "using" is a bit harsh) in ep7 the MC said he dont wanna be the rebound guy... and now he wants to be with her in a serious relationship and Sage agrees... yeah well, jumpy much? I just dont can see that there are really building up deep feelings... and the Threesome with Quinn maybe was hot... but on the feeling-side more a kick in the balls and this whole thing goes more in a direction of an open-unhealthy-relationship like Tommy and Heather.
The relationship with Bella, or especially Jill is much more deeper on the feelings-side.
*edit* and yeah... iam a romantic guy, so what?
I wonder if group sex with Quinn will affect the relationship in the future. In fact, because of this sex, the relationship between Quinn, Sage and MC becomes more complicated and turns into a love triangle. Quinn loves MС, that's understandable. From Sage's side, everything is more complicated. She definitely likes MC, but it's still a long way from love.dont think that the game will last that long that we will see Sage leaving College.

I agree to that, i was happy with the whole Fuck buddy thing and then the author goes and forces us into making it a real relationship. That should had been a choice like "Stay Fuck Buddy" or "Go for More", i was given the choice to "fight for Jill" or not, but now thanks to Elena not keeping her big mouth shut, unless i chose just sage, i still get to be her friend but i lose the awesome Fuck Buddy thing they had going. I mean the whole point of dating is to date, dating is not engaged or even "going steady" if they would still use that kiddie saying, not decide to just one girl based off a date or not even a date with most of the girls, it's his first semester in college and he is having a blast, it shouldn't turn that serious that fricken quick. She happily fucked him and Quinn so it shouldn't upset her later when she learns that he fucked half the house, and still is, if they were still Fuck Buddys it wouldn't be that bad as opposed to his just being her friend or her even actual boyfriendAs for Sage... for me this relationship just didnt work for now...
Sage is still my fav LI, but I agree with some of your points. Her story really took some quick turns, but I think the feelings are there and she really needed someone she could open up to. That being said Sage really needs some time to adapt to this loving relationship stuff and the threesome with Quinn was a real let down for me in this ep. If ep7 was a step forward then ep8 was a step back. Sure the MC and Sage shared some nice scenes, it sure looks like she decided to go for a real relationship, but still a threesome with Quinn as the first thing right after? Sure.dont think that the game will last that long that we will see Sage leaving College. (if nothing surprising happens to her)

Thats exactly why I decided to continue both my dik and neutral/chick Sage saves. If the MC and Sage are aiming for a more loving and serious relationship then the neutral/chick approach seems more fitting, also there's no threesome in ep8 for such an MC.I wonder if group sex with Quinn will affect the relationship in the future. In fact, because of this sex, the relationship between Quinn, Sage and MC becomes more complicated and turns into a love triangle. Quinn loves MС, that's understandable. From Sage's side, everything is more complicated. She definitely likes MC, but it's still a long way from love.
Perhaps without group sex, the relationship will be much calmer and deeper. And with Quinn, I think everything will end up with Sage leaving college, and Tremolo starts dating Quinn. But I'd be happy to end up with a Maya and Josie-style group relationship.
In general, it seems to me that the developer is following a safe path, trying to please everyone. Initially, Quinn was an antagonist, but in recent episodes she fell in love with Tremolo. Rio and Lily are ordinary side girls created for sex, but because of their popularity, he began to deepen their characters. In the relationship with Maya and Josie, Tremolo was the third wheel and everything was uncertain, but in episode 8 everything became serious. Sex with Quinn and Sage was weird, but I don't think it's going to affect anything serious. Unless Sage lets MC fuck with others and the relationship becomes more open. This opens up a lot of potential group sex scenes involving Sage. I'm more inclined to believe that love interests will somehow start experimenting with sex and will share Tremolo with others. This is a porn game and it's the easiest way to bring variety.Thats exactly why I decided to continue both my dik and neutral/chick Sage saves. If the MC and Sage are aiming for a more loving and serious relationship then the neutral/chick approach seems more fitting, also there's no threesome in ep8 for such an MC.![]()
i get your point here, but thats not what i meant...I agree to that, i was happy with the whole Fuck buddy thing and then the author goes and forces us into making it a real relationship.

I went neutral and got threesome with sage and quin.. unless you mean you kind of chick wouldnt do a threesome. -if there is a prerequsite other then being quinns bitch it might be ditching jill which i did. on my neutral play throughThats exactly why I decided to continue both my dik and neutral/chick Sage saves. If the MC and Sage are aiming for a more loving and serious relationship then the neutral/chick approach seems more fitting, also there's no threesome in ep8 for such an MC.![]()
That sounds like a more dik/neutral mc for me as for a more friendly Quinn he had to be on the dik side at the right parts of the story.I went neutral and got threesome with sage and quin.. unless you mean you kind of chick wouldnt do a threesome. -if there is a prerequsite other then being quinns bitch it might be ditching jill which i did. on my neutral play through
I see your points as well, i am just going to miss my fuck buddy, since i can't let go of the "others", well one other in particulari get your point here, but thats not what i meant...
iam talking more from the romantic side...
I get it, there are many guys and girls who can get along with open-relationships or fuck-buddy things... i just cant.
In a game like this it could have worked out with a open-realtionship or the fuck buddy thing an i would have been ok with it for the Sage route until certain things happened...
First of all, how the whole relationship starts is just... ugh... come on, who wants to date a girl going out with Chad? Uff... Thats the first point...
second, she is just jumping the MC to spite Chad, nothing more... who really wants that?
third... out of just spiting chad... it goes to a fuck buddy thing without any feelings... hm nah dont see that, i was once in a fuck-buddy relationship for some time, but it wouldnt have worked if the girl had a relationship going on and is suffering from the end of it... no way. cause this ist just...meh
than more or less out of nowhere the MC wants more than to be a fuck-buddy and rebound guy, but sage doesnt like that storms out and let the MC standing in the rain... nice?
short time later she tells the mc she doesnt use him as a rebound guy... girl, but thats exactly what you were doing the whole time. Of course the MC is to blame too in this case... cause he is going along with that for too long.
than we get a threesome with quinn, and she likes it very much that the MC is fucking antoher girl... after that, they want to start a serious relationship... come on, what the fuck? How is this gonna work?
I cant just buy this relationship with sage one bit. Its just not working in any case... even a open-fuck-buddy thing is not working if am looking back how the whole relationship went so far... its just... a mess.
And in the end of ep8 it just feels like DPC decided to give us the option to go for sage, cause this very option was there for the other LIs too. Its kinda forced without reason. Its just not working... maybe with some more time yeah it could work out, but now? Not so much... its way to jumpy overall.
yeah of course, looking back the whole game with a realistic sight... nothing is realistic here ^^So I agree, the Sage relationship route is a bumpy ride, but I think in a way the one's with Bella and Jill are even more extreme. Jill and her story is like a Disney fairy tale where the princess of the ivory tower finds his commoner "prince charming", it doesn't feel like a relationship between university students. Bella is the mourning widow who refuses to move on. She is a stern, but way too hot teacher who meets a young stallion that she can devour with her pent up sexual desires.
