Why is this lowkey... hot af?Pregnant Jill![]()
Maybe 'cuz then I could just... Nah I don't think I can say this here...

It seems to me that a lot of the issue with Zoey does come from the timing, particularly for people playing the game during the long development cycle.This is something that I've been thinking about for a while, It seems like a lot of people in this thread don't like Zoey, can someone explain why? She is definitely not one of my favorites, but I don't really mind her either. I don't really see a reason to hate her.
LMAO this brings me with a question now seeing rusty.Because you're the resident fetish/weird sex connoisseur. But you're right.

I agree. You could just...![]()
Same reason we can't be a Royce, or Taylor, or fucking Armstrong, Neil obviously isn't any of those.LMAO this brings me with a question now seeing rusty.
Why didn't DPC allow us to name our last name as burgmeister? Something points to MC's mom being part of the burgmeister![]()
Why add Zoey to the game and not make her a romantic interest? This is the dumbest decision you could make.she'll have other avenues and challenges to face; she just won't be his romantic interest. And can still play her role.
That's a strange question. All the canonical lines will go their own way, the degree of involvement of the player in them will depend on the route he is on, as it always has been. Example: You can't participate fully in the drug storyline if you're on Jill's route. But the plot continues anyway.What's the aftermath of this? What will happen to all the girls stories (like the canon MGs + Quinn), and how will that impact MC and his involvement?
It's funny that you constantly criticize Zoey for destroying relationships, but I've never seen you criticize Josy or Bianca for doing the same (even though they're also backstabbing their friends).Zoey can destroy them all
This is your best argument. Why couldn't DPC just make a game with 5 LIs and 6 endings that's 10 episodes long? I'm sure everyone would have enjoyed it.It's the Bloated Milk Machine, again. Combine this with a 2 year chapter release schedule, and DPCs intentions are as clear as Zoey's trope. Let's not forget her $240k cost/2 year running animation. Keep the machine going another 5 years.
Damn rip to anyone who wanted to roleplay as an Armstrong LOLSame reason we can't be a Royce, or Taylor, or fucking Armstrong, Neil obviously isn't any of those.
But yeah, mom's side is where the campus royalty comes from.
1) Introduced way too late.Why add Zoey to the game and not make her a romantic interest? This is the dumbest decision you could make.
She's a horrible function within the story. Her character is fine.So, Zoey is a criminal because she wants the protagonist for herself. She has self-respect, and she doesn't want to be a second or third girl. How dare she? I'm forced to repeat what has been said in this thread about 1,000 times, but you still don't understand. This game will never be a harem.
He did. There are ways to bring back the Old Flame trope. Make her a seductress. Make her nefarious, or the opposite. Make it a mutual experience. Or a rekindling with a fizzle; that would give Zoey something to do which is core to her. For one, have them go on some kind of a redemption arc. Instead, she just sits around being friendly, because we need to shoe horn her in here. She's not even a student. Then there's having a panic attack. If Zoey is so mature and a complete character as she appears in the Interlude, she'd be understanding of MC and his happiness. Instead, she asks him to ruin his own and another, all for her selfish desires. "Oh, I made a mistake!" Yes, you did, and this crap don't fly in a story about a slice of life college experience. She just shows up and demands a take back. It's like 99% of the experience goes down the tubes. Childish.The only thing I agree with you on is that the paths where the MC leaves LI and returns to Zoey are bad paths. But I don't think DPC made a mistake when they decided to create them. The game needs to have "bad" paths. Do you want all the endings to be good, where the MC is a friend to everyone, and the only difference is which girl they choose? That's up to you, but I don't want a game where I'm guaranteed to win regardless of the decisions I make.
Now about the "other" path:
1) Zoey returns in episode 9. At this point, the MC has not yet established strong connections with the SGs.
You mean on the Others path? No kidding. See: breaking up the MGs.If, after episode 9, where Zoey receives significant development, the player decides that Zoey is now their top priority and they do not want to engage in drama, they may choose not to continue with the paths of Lily, Riona, Nicole, and others. This prevents the drama of broken relationships, as there are no existing relationships in the "others" path at the beginning of episode 10.
"It's not Zoey's fault. It's everyone else's!"2) If the player continued the SG's path and returned to Zoey, he would get drama, but honestly, I don't think he did anything wrong. Lily, Quinn, Riona, and others had enough time to tell the MC that they wanted a real relationship. They didn't, but Zoey did. They can only blame themselves.
Quite a bit of difference between canon plots with MGs, and optional romanced girls stories, so I don't see your point.That's a strange question. All the canonical lines will go their own way, the degree of involvement of the player in them will depend on the route he is on, as it always has been. Example: You can't participate fully in the drug storyline if you're on Jill's route. But the plot continues anyway.
Methinks you should read about my Searing Hatred of Josy.It's funny that you constantly criticize Zoey for destroying relationships, but I've never seen you criticize Josy or Bianca for doing the same (even though they're also backstabbing their friends).
No, you're just a Zoey fanboy. You know she's forced into the story for melodrama. A whole Interlude for 2 variables. Pure $$$$$ grab. She's a horrible person for what she did, and wants, and )for whatever reason) you can choose to make her a DIK, even worse. It's not just what she does, it's a) how (too late, too uncaring), b) when (worse with DIK), c) and in what capacity (playing catch up, not being fully aware of her feelings, not thinking of MCs feelings), d) destroying everything (the Crossroads choice. d is more of a DPC issue, since he has no clue WTF he's doing, and just playing it by feeling.)This is your best argument. Why couldn't DPC just make a game with 5 LIs and 6 endings that's 10 episodes long? I'm sure everyone would have enjoyed it.
I apologize in advance if the translator has translated something incorrectly. Unfortunately, I am too lazy to learn english.
Interlude 2 is one long ass reading session of the diary and we effectively play it from Lynette's point of view. Certain details of the past become a matter of player choices.I wonder if one of the episode cliffhangers could happen in the diary.
>Tremolo is reading the diary
>He gets to a point where something is about to be revealed in the past
>Cut back to Tremolo freaking out about what he has read in the present
>Alternatively, also show the player what the reveal is like they did with the Burke pictures reveal at the end of season 2
End of season 3
Would probably be pretty lame if they didn't show us because its similar to the locked room reaction ending...
Why didn't DPC allow us to name our last name as burgmeister?
Or Diamond. Or NeilSame reason we can't be a Royce, or Taylor, or fucking Armstrong, Neil obviously isn't any of those.
Hold it right there Geralt! This will lead to Zoey being evicted from grarg's head! She hasn't actually gotten into B&R yet. Where is she going to live in the mean time?
A commendable desire to help suffering people.
Where is she going to live in the mean time?
Yes, the rent prices are very high, but she lives rent-free now.Hold it right there Geralt! This will lead to Zoey being evicted from grarg's head! She hasn't actually gotten into B&R yet. Where is she going to live in the mean time?
What do you want it to look like?Due to the nature of Crossroads and the content from the previous chapters, she has no regard for your past with other girls. Only her own.
If you think I think DPC is a good writer, that's not true. There are a lot of things in the story that I don't like. I just don't complain about it every week.Is not DPC lauded as some great storyteller?
I was talking about how Quinn, Riona, Lily, and the others in episode 9 are still far from the "relationship" stage. There won't be any drama unless the player decides to create it by continuing to date them, even though he already knows that he will return to Zoey in the future.Are we playing some other game here?
I'm not interested in Sage, Josy, Maya, Jill, and Bella. You know, it happens. That's why there's a "others" path in the game. Different people have different preferences.For a story about relationships and romance, it's quite odd to not...choose romantic experiences. It's like you have to be "playing video games wrong" or something.
I have no problem with that. I'll just tell her no, and I won't be angry with her.The funny thing: DPC's probably going to allow you to break up with Zoey for some other Other girl. Some new girl he'll make as an option. It's more melodramatic nonsense. Whereas Crossroads forced you down a path, Zoey just resets all that. Because of hamfisted melodrama...but with a bomb.
There probably are some drawbacks to living in grarg's head but rent-free is one big plus.Yes, the rent prices are very high, but she lives rent-free now.![]()
That is freaking SmurfSmurfing the smurf out of her smurf.![]()
Its simple, if Sage doesn't like her than I don't like herThis is something that I've been thinking about for a while, It seems like a lot of people in this thread don't like Zoey, can someone explain why? She is definitely not one of my favorites, but I don't really mind her either. I don't really see a reason to hate her.
BRANDI FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY!QOTD: If Sandy DOES have a threesome at the Pink Rose in episode 12, who will be the other stripper that joins in the fun?
