I don't think there will be an arranged marriage for Jill, it would be an outdated choice, if the one with Rusty is skipped I don't see why they should force her to be with someone else.
however it is likely that Jill's parents do not see well MC, fearing he may be attracted to their status, and to hinder Jill and MC they could put pressure on the college to remove MC, it could be an interesting twist
When thinking about possible consequences, I try to imagine what might've happened if MC hadn't got into B&R at all.
- Bella, some years later, ends up being divorced by James without ever hearing from him and gives up on love.
- Sage ends up in a loveless marriage with Chad.
- Jill continues having bad dates with bland rich kids before eventually settling for one of them (please not Tybalt).
- Maya never meets him and so doesn't have a seed of doubt planted about her sexuality early on and only comes to realise she's bisexual late in life when she can no longer have children.
- Josy actually gets accepted to B&R earlier and is able to rekindle her romance with Maya without the MC helping to bridge the gap between their personalities and they break up.
Those are all bad endings obviously and I would imagine that those things could still happen if you play the game badly. Playing well would mean that, even for the LIs that you don't end up with, life ends up better for them. For example:
Any combination of those might be possible depending on your choices with the additional wrinkle that you have to be compatible with your preferred LI or you'll trigger their bad end automatically. Not just that though because, if it were me, I'd add a punishment for the player which is that, whichever LI you should've ended up with will, based on your choices, also have their bad end triggered automatically.
- Bella realises there's no point waiting for James to return and gets the divorce herself before remarrying.
- Sage, thanks to MC's help, finds out what Chad's been doing (and with whom) and dumps his sorry arse.
- Jill gains the confidence to break from her patterns and actively pursue a man who's right for her (or Bella
).
- Being a good friend to M&J would mean Maya gains more confidence and fits into the Hots better, in turn making her relationship with Josy stronger.
- Pursuing Maya or Josy separately is tricky as it's harder to avoid the fallout from breaking them up but let's say MC sets them up with new partners, I don't know, Troy for Josy, Karen Rebecca Johnson for Maya.
interesting ideas
however, there are some points that need to be reviewed.
Bella without her husband cannot divorce, at most she can set the procedure in motion, and we should still understand why this marriage is in crisis, and whose fault it is.
not being in the pact with Maya and Josy, I hope, leads to being able to open a relationship with one of the two, and this would hardly not lead to very dramatic moments, in which one of the two girls would find herself in the position in which they put MC. I struggle to call it a happy ending
