I agree... I was just joking because of the 'dead husband' theories. Relax.
If DPC's intention is try to and reinvent the wheel, then have it, but I'd argue that a great appeal of these adult games is that any and all consequences are rarely, if ever, all that severe for the MC. It's what caused a lot of the controversy with AL because there was real consequence there, albeit with the biggest one being completely out of the control of the player.
What happened in AL was just... lazy, for the lack of a better word.
My assumption is that if there will be consequences for all the MC's whoring around (at least in the form of very, very angry LIs) we'll get fair warning first. So far, we've had no indication from any of the girls that the MC needs to stop 'dating around'. Maya and Josy give the MC a free pass while they're 'exploring' whatever the throuple is going to turn into, Jill and the MC talk about the fact he's seeing other girls before the tennis date, Sage obviously isn't going to throw a fit at this point since she's trying to pretend that its purely a sexual relationship, and Bella... well... Bella is a married woman, so she doesn't really have a leg to stand on as far as the MC being 'faithful' once they reach the point where they get physical.
starting from the premise that in these games the concept of "perceived" NTR seems to be a very diluted version, it seems to me practically impossible that the game can end without it.
I'm pretty sure Bacchus was talking about the relationship consequences in AL, not 'the choice' (which we get it... you hate). More relevant is whether you bang the bar sluts, the nurse, and/or your ex. At the end, the LI you're with finds out... some get upset about it, some don't, and with certain girls it can lead to exactly what you're talking about, with your chosen LI doing precisely what you said... 'telling you to take a hike because you couldn't keep it in your pants'.
I’m curious to see degree of choice impacts outside of who MC ends up with.
This is surely not a harem game, dont worry, there will consequences, no doubt about it. and the game is already preventing you from, one specific path. the threesome, or polygamy path with Josy and Maya. whether there will be optional solo route for them, is yet to be seen, but i won't be surprised, if the "let's just be friend", and later confirming your decision to derek, about that "you moved on", decisions is in fact a dead end for Josy and Maya. Acting Lessons, allowed the player to close down relationships, I don't see reason to believe Badik would be different. However, AL was a much shorter game, so I can see that Badik will allow the player to be more flexible, and these permanent decision will come out later, after all we are still in early stage, as much as a surprise for some people, considering that we soon to be at ep6 .
I can definitely see this happening eventually. But as I said, not this early. Right now I'm more worried about the Chick/Dick meter, if in every episode we have a major decision, soon there will be no decision left.
We had that in AL too when Leah reveals all the stuff the MC has done with other girls and it obliterates any chance at a relationship with Megan or Melissa, and that didn't go down well either.
To be fair he did it with Rena in AL so hardly should be big issue
such a situation is acceptable for the linearity of the game, and it is likely to be soThis is surely not a harem game, dont worry, there will consequences, no doubt about it. and the game is already preventing you from, one specific path. the threesome, or polygamy path with Josy and Maya. whether there will be optional solo route for them, is yet to be seen, but i won't be surprised, if the "let's just be friend", and later confirming your decision to derek, about that "you moved on", decisions is in fact a dead end for Josy and Maya.

You forgot 'Jill set up with Derek'. Now THAT would be hilarious.
He's talking about conversations that already happened in Chapter 5...
me too...
Okay... I think I'm not understanding your point here... because (depending on your conversation choice) the MC already did exactly that at the end of chapter 5, telling Derek he's moved on. Are you questioning the MC's motivation for doing so, after he's already (potentially) done it?
I think that's what we're going to see depending on the choices we make; one happy ending for each LI with the MC, a happy ending for each LI without the MC, and a sad/not so great ending for each LI without the MC, then the ending a player gets will be a mixture of these. For example, the MC gets a happy ending with Sage, Jill gets a happy ending, M&J get separate sad endings, and Bella gets a sad ending, or the MC gets a happy ending with Josy, Sage and Jill get sad endings, and Maya and Bella get happy endings, etc, etc.
Because He is his best friend?! it is a way for player to confirm his decision. If it's Rejection, well then your earlier decision set you to that direction in the first place. In that regard, I do have to admit I don't have knowledge, I was not rejected, so I dont know how and what way the conversation with Derek changed , but it is not excluded it will have effect in that way too for the future. and that is the purpose of the conversation, I assume.
