Actually it isn't such a big deal.

For scientific purposes, I checked in the folders game the amount of specific animations for every lewd scenes.
As a result, the top 5 is :

1. Maya Ep 3 : 27 animations.
2. Jade Ep 4 : 26 animations + car window animation.
3. Josy Ep 5 : 26 animations.
4. Quinn & Riona Ep 3 : 24 animations.
5. Sage Ep 4 : 23 animations.

But most animated scenes last 3-4 seconds. Furthermore there's a specific animation for each angles of a single sexual position. Which means we had sometimes 3 or 4 animations for a simple kiss. Despite the amount of animations, The MC tried more sex positions with Josy in Ep 5 than he did with Maya in Ep 3. Surprisingly, the longest animation are :

1. Quinn blowbjob Ep 4 : 30 seconds
2. Maya grinding Ep 1 : 29 seconds
3. Maya thighjob Ep 3 : 24 seconds
4. Riona Blowbjob Ep 1 : 24 seconds
5. Isabella handjob Ep 4 : 21 seconds

In conclusion, 30 animations seem impressive but it don't necessarily imply Bella and the MC would perform every kamasutra position ( well, maybe half of it ).

Wow, thanks for the information man!
Also im wondering why the animations are so long. normally i click them away after 10 seconds maximum, did i miss something important?

I don't think he is having a joke, I think he's written a character who is emotionally traumatised over something that happened in her past and seems to keep others at an arms length, probably as a result of this thing that happened, and people are interpreting her behaviour as though she's some kind of emotionless psychopath.

Whatever Bella's issue is, it's not going to be that she's some axe-wielding murderer who cut down her own husband, it's going to some manner of deeply tragic and potentially traumatic event that has made her close herself off from people because she just shut herself down rather than deal with the issue in a healthy way. This happens to people and it doesn't mean they become crazy psycho-killers, they just need to confront the problem and sort through it in order to move on and accept it, which is what the MC's function will be; to help Bella get over her past trauma and to be happy again.

This is why I think that, whilst there will be some manner of Bella-only ending, an ending where you don't end up with her but you did do everything with her will still be a happy ending because she'll be grateful for having had him be there for her and make her feel good about herself again. So when the MC goes off with Sage, or M&J, or Jill, we might see a happier, lighter Bella in the epilogue whose life is better for having known the MC, and even if we see her with someone else it wouldn't feel too bad because the MC did a good thing and she deserves to find happiness with someone.

Bella's behavior for now is objectively strange and inexplicable, and her trauma has not been outlined even vaguely, we do not even know if the absence of her husband is a consequence of this trauma, or is part of the trauma itself.

when we know the trauma we will see how justified her behavior is, DPC will have to do a really great job.

after AL seeing the dark side behind Bella's oddities is normal and in my opinion also quite wanted. in the end it is DPC himself to warn us that there will be some twists and it is normal that DPC works to increase the expectation of these, even with false clues.

then, I repeat, I don't believe in the slightest that Bella is a serial killer, but her character is so enigmatic to make us fear the worst

Bold Prediction Time

So, now we have 4 previews that seem to indicate the possibility of the MC playing a game of DnG with 4 of the 5 LIs and, as much as I don't want that to be the case, I think it might be, and now I'm starting to think that it may indeed be what takes up most of the episode, if not all of it. Here's why.

The episode is titled "Damage Control", and while this title certainly befits a few things like Quinn trying to deal with the fallout from her decision to have the HOTs go to the Prep party (Mona wanting "out", Tommy being pissed at her, her issues with her supplier, etc) and the DIKs having to fix up the mansion as well as deal with the "Cathy Cluck" situation, the title could also refer to the MC's various relationships.

Whether you're pursuing some, none, or all of them, the MC has had a fair bit of involvement with all the LIs up to this point, including the blowout from the M&J situation. So the MC could find himself in a position of "damage control" were he in a situation where all 5 LIs are in a room together, particularly if he's pursuing some or all of the LIs. At this point, the MC probably wouldn't want Sage, Bella, and Jill to know that he had/has a thing with Maya and Josy or let them know about M&J's relationship; or let M&J and Sage know he has a thing with Jill; or let M&J, Bella, and Jill know he has a thing with Sage, etc, etc. In this sense, the MC would have to control the damage that could be done if these LIs start to give the game away and make the others aware of his relationships with them.

We were also told in a previous episode (might have been 3 but can't be sure) that the weather is expected to take a turn for the worst in this upcoming week. So perhaps there is a storm or very heavy rain at a point where all 5 LIs and the Nerds are in the library at the same time but nobody is willing to venture out in the rain, so someone, possibly Jill, suggests they play a game of DnG to pass the time.

So, I think we could be looking at a very lengthy and possibly episode-long game of DnG involving 4 of the 5 LIs or maybe even all them in order to force some relationship drama and have the LIs start to get suspicious of each other and their relationships with the MC.

God save us and free us from all this ...

we would expect an emotionally heavy episode, probably with negative consequences, in an unrealistic context ...

MC will be sidelined for a bad roll of the dice.


I would be very surprised if Quinn and drug trafficking wasn't the center of the chapter

Why y'all think Bella is a serial killer with an Axe. Or is it just a theory with no solid ground like Futa Jill e.g.

Absent husband, secret locked room, crazy eyes, axe.

Wow, thanks for the information man!
Also im wondering why the animations are so long. normally i click them away after 10 seconds maximum, did i miss something important?

I’m surprised as well, I think often it’s not that the animation being long but the camera motion. So the animation loop is fixed at 3-4 seconds and then the camera tracks around to focus on different areas.

 

[Ddraigon]

May be Bella is into bondage stuff, and the locked room might be the play room that she and her husband used. And she is a dominator and locks her husband in that room.

Mostly it's camera motion like always86 said. Sometimes it's a more complex animation though. Here's Quinn's BJ animation

it's as unlikely as the psychopathic killer hypothesis

but there is no evidence that it cannot be

Love interest is more correct...

easy question guys, chick or dik?

as affinity in my opinion: chick for the plot, dik for the fun

I'm so over Josey and Maya and their CW romance drama. Did 1 playthrough where they said they just wanted to be friends when MC wanted more.

The next time I see them they're like help us deal with Joseys dad. At that point I noped out of there. I only see them on Clucker now. Life is good.

Jill best girl.

I don't think you can avoid interacting with them in the future. They are still central to the plot.

Its the FriendZone. Which is a flashy name for modern-day slave labour. You will probably have to do lots of stuff for smiles and thankyous and things like that.
In this regard Sage is a much much better capitalist, with a keen business sense. "I want something that requires you to do risky stuff. I pay with entusiastic pussy/mouth/boobs." Win-Win.
I'm not saying that this business model is for everyone but one has to agree that her idea of 'friendship' if nothing else offers a much more compelling set of fringe benefits.

I know,it's just their whole storyline is like some shit you'd see on Riverdale.

if there were many more Sages in the world, it would be a better world

I think the plot phase with central Josy and Maya is ending.

but being all set in a college it will be impossible to never meet them or the other LI, regardless of the choices made

 

[Deleted member 225296]

Is it just me that thinks that both chapter 4 and 5 have very boring dragged on sequences?

Example: Both chapter prologues were meant to give the player more context and information without giving that to the MC, but they drag on for so long with a bunch of useless crap.
Then we've the first free roam sequences, for chapter 4 it was the HOTs house in my case and the preps mansion for chapter 5. All of them drag on for too long and I've been struggling with finishing the mansion free roam sequence because of how bored and uninterested I am right now.

Am I a minority in here to think that the pace of the first 3 chapters was much better? I much prefer smaller/faster but more abundant sequences than one big dragged on sequence that ends up getting me uninterested in continuing the game.

I just hope episode 6 is as stunning as the previous ones, regardless of whether it will be a long DnG session or not. We know the DPC and know that he is capable of doing stuff to be amazed with, to the point of probably saying that episode 6 will be one of the best or even the best.
