the idea that Maya can solve her problem by working is a very Boomer...
a part time job that would allow her to make $20-30k in 6-8 months? we're talking about an illegal job I guess.
And that's leaving aside the whole non-believable issue of the bank who would still take it out on her for the loan she got from Patrick
I also remember when MC offering his inheritance to Maya to cover her tiution for this semester I don't remember the exact amout but it's not big of inheritance that also gives me the idea that Maya's tuition is around that range
The college in R&B costs less than 5k$. This detail is revealed after the MC receive his mother's inheritance. After that, he said in a talk he has enough money to pay one year in the college with the received money... And guess that, the inheritance was 5.000$
So, as we talked weeks ago, if Maya makes some sacrifices (like working weekends, holidays and the summer) she would earn enough money to pay the f*ck*ng tuition and her basic expenses, but she is happier whining about her father and watching old movies
I like the fact that Maya has a complex and contradictory character, it adds depth to her. Especially against Josy, who can be described in one sentence: a neighbor who for some unknown reason is in love with MC.
Maya is capricious, she likes to play the victim, she wants all her problems solved for her and doesn't want to do anything about it. She is naive and gullible. But as much as you don't like her personally, she is the most well-described and interesting character in the game.
In second place is probably Patrick. In general, everything about Maya's family is surprisingly well written, apparently DPC, as in the case of AL, used his own biography to write the main arcs.
Jill on the contrary I find the most boring and most one-dimensional character in this game. I have a lot of trouble playing her branch. She only has a cartoonish conflict with Tybalt along the way and that's it. Mostly everything is perfect. And DPC himself doesn't seem to know how to add variety and drama in her path besides cheating.
I don't agree with you at all. The whole history about Maya revolves around the tuition plot. Beside that, we only have a unhappy relationship with Josy (If you aren't in her path) or a throuple with MC as the axis (As we can observe during episode 9 and 10, the relationship without him between Maya and Josy is almost over).
About Jill, she is a overprotected only child. She is shy and introvert for that and she has problems to open to people. Yes, the blackmail plot is childish and stupid, but at the same time she starts to meet new people and be more open since he meets the MC (Even if we don't follow her path)
Said that, I really want to see a "tuition-free" Maya, because at the very beginning she had some interesting moments and I hope DPC shows us a more outgoing Jill
