I like that if the MC being in CHICK path use his Mind better in decsion this will make sense Unlike DIK choices some are just pure dumb or rage things

The MC is kind of reckless no matter the alignment, he has zero emotional intelligence. DPC did it on purpose, it's a trait the MC shares with his mother - doing things without thinking or in the heat of the moment.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

All this has some validity. All of the branches have some interesting crossover with the rejected girls, but Sage is pretty consistent whether she is chosen or not. One thing that I found fascinating is that if you don't choose any girls Josy doesn't give up and in that case, it is Josy that haunts MC when they are fleeing from the house the first time and compels him to return. So while Josy may be the default girl who is there for a happy ending when all else fails Sage is probably the girl who is meant for the happy ending when everything goes to plan.

Josy follows you all the time, if you showed the slightest interest in her after Ep.4, that's it, girl sipms MC very much. For example, if you are with Sage, then in any case you get this moment:

She also gets offended by Elena's "Someone else got it" joke if you spend your morning in HOTs. Josy is very jealous, as she herself mentioned in the first season.
But you can also focus on Maya yourself if you chose Others, Maya is just more introverted and doesn't show feelings as much open as Josy, this was developed in her over the years of living with her father.

But I can’t call Sage’s path a happy ending by default, there are a lot of pitfalls. Quinn's restaurant and also Jade. If the video leaks, it could be a disaster. Now we know that Stephen doesn't want to destroy MC for this - on the contrary, our guy did him a favor. He uses this to take 90% of the property in a divorce, leaving Jade with next to nothing. But after this, Jade will want to grind MC into powder, and will do everything possible to prevent this route from being successful.

I didn't see this scene in the game, thanks for sharing, it made my day better.

To watch this scene you need to tell Josy about Chad and Troy in Ep.8, at the gym.

 

[ffive]

So far I've gotten this scene regardless of whether Sage is my current girlfriend or not, but in her route it's more iconic. Helen seems to see MC/Sage clicking well together, Helen sees everything.

It also resonates pretty well in scenario where MC had to choose between J+M and Sage, and opted for the former. Although it hits a bit differently, for obvious reasons.

I found out that Josy spends the entire episode butt hurt if you break up with her. Damn... that's the worst kind of girl there is: a sore loser. Not even Jill acts that way.

 

[felicemastronzo]

I don't know who acted worse: Jacob or Jill. When asked by the MC in the past about the existence of a traitor among the DIKs, Jacob said he didn't point fingers because nothing good came from it... however, he didn't think twice before questioning the MC's loyalty to the DIKs.

Jill was a disappointment in Ep.10. DPC should stop being lazy at times like this. Jill would never think that the MC who never stole money from her and who saved her from embarrassed at the recital was the one who stole a pair of her panties. Jill, come on! The MC walks and random girls throw their panties at him.

Speaking of random girls... What happened on Bella's route? Bella was also a disappointment to me, but not as disappointing as Jill. DPC forced a scenario where MC was looking at girls' butts in Yoga class... ok... What I didn't expect was Bella's very jealous reaction. It was just a bunch of random girls in yoga pants and the MC didn't even know their names. How many times did the MC apologize (unfairly)? And every time Bella acted like a teenager claiming that the MC sucks at apologizing or that the way he found to apologize was terrible.

the scene of Jill and Trent is simple and pure poorly done fan service. since anyone at the time of Tybalt's blackmailing wondered how it was possible that Jill had not spoken directly to Trent, DPC decided to make it happen now. but the only reason Jill could do it now was that she basically believed the accusations toward DPC, in italy let's say the patch was worse than the hole she wanted to cover.

instead, the doubt expressed by Jacob may be a foreshadowing of the witch-hunting atmosphere that may be brewing among the DIKs in the coming chapters. after all, already the choice of MC to let the Preps join the party is mmitted eventually, so narratively it may well be there, the execution remains sluggish, with MC not even getting angry...

Bella's, on the other hand, is simple laziness; DPC wrote a scene that she did not feel like declining to decline in a different way pandering to MC's choices and affinity, so any MC must apologize for looking at butts that she might have decided to ignore, but that was not enough.

Bella has few "natural" opportunities to interact with MCs, especially if they are not related to each other, so most of these are rather forced (like haircuts)

It hits even more hard, when you dropped them all for someone else (Jill or Bella)

All of these pitfalls (except those that follow from the main plot and are unavoidable) are easy to avoid, just follow a simple rule. Keep it in your pants if you want to play a certain girl's route (unless she's explicitly inviting another girl into your bed). Why on earth would you want to fuck Jade if you're playing Sage romance route? Such a pitfall.

It's just hypothetical at this point.

 

[jackjack5854]

Josy hurting over MC when the player's not on J&M path is very touching. As of right now she's mostly a tag-along for the main plot, so her getting hung-up on MC is a great emotional pull for future options. On their path there's no doubt she's crazy in love with MC, which really sets her apart considering how other MGs are trying to build communication and open up.

Zoey is also a decent choice. For me the Interlude frames her as lost, homesick and single - not too compelling, but very decently written. Seeing her getting emotional over MC in 10 really brings home her whole story of making up for lost time chasing her dream. Now still working crappy small jobs, searching for her calling, and trying to regain her sense of accomplishment. Pretty fun character - no filter, and a great hit among the boys.

I understood that the DPC wanted to give a hint that the MC would have his loyalty questioned, but there were better characters (like Leon or Nick for example) to question the MC about his loyalty.

the scene of Jill and Trent is simple and pure poorly done fan service. since anyone at the time of Tybalt's blackmailing wondered how it was possible that Jill had not spoken directly to Trent, DPC decided to make it happen now. but the only reason Jill could do it now was that she basically believed the accusations toward DPC, in italy let's say the patch was worse than the hole she wanted to cover.

Getting Jill to talk to Trent just now just made Jill even dumber. DPC needs to pay attention to these details, otherwise we will be forced to turn off our brains when we play the next episodes.

Bella's, on the other hand, is simple laziness; DPC wrote a scene that she did not feel like declining to decline in a different way pandering to MC's choices and affinity, so any MC must apologize for looking at butts that she might have decided to ignore, but that was not enough.

Bella has few "natural" opportunities to interact with MCs, especially if they are not related to each other, so most of these are rather forced (like haircuts)

I took a look at the code. The yoga class scene happens regardless of whether the player is on Bella's route or not. Everything makes sense now. The DPC's laziness was so big that he tried to mix the two scenarios (MC and Bella in a relationship or not) and that's what happened. In other words, Bella actually only had 2 exclusive events: The off-campus lunch and the TV night. Jeez...

So, if you pay attention to the man behind Riona, you'll see that he's wearing the same cape as Mick.
Which means Buddy and Vinnie are teaming up to kidnap Riona.
Why would they do that?
Apparently to threaten Quinn in some way.

Why? To watch the world burn, of course

I did have small theory about this Buddy doesn't trust Quinn but he owe it for Rox so the only logical thing came to me is he repay the favour Rox did to him by Helping Quinn getting Riona that way Buddy doesn't need to owe Quinn anything (in his point of view he did help her by setting her up without her noticing) so He get rid of the favour (maybe words in the streets Rox helped Buddy so logically if people knew Buddy helped her then logically he doesn't need to owe her anything )
to keep his reputation up and what a great thing to have (drug dealer with high reputation who keeps his promise if you ask him for favour)

again everything could be wrong and DPC though of another idea but hey let your mind go wild sometimes won't hurt

This storyline is stupid... very stupid. One thing I'm unsure about is whether Quinn really cares about Riona. Riona will find out after being kidnapped... I bet Quinn doesn't give a shit and this will be Riona's wake-up call for her to give up this shitty life.

I already did this

This

And this


If I end up in hell anyway, then I have to try harder to get the best places there.
