Bacchus,
Why would you expect otherwise? You played AL same as I did. I remember, several several (thousand) pages ago maybe, saying the DPC is a limited capability writer and will stick to the tricks he knows. Maybe he doesn't kill a love interest this time, or give our wingman cancer, but he certainly is about denying logic, and incapable of writing a reasonable story without resorting to his sledge hammer. I said it before, and I say it now. We may have a good outcome, but only if you were mostly a chik and not fucked everyone, and made your decision early and stuck with it. Realistic? No, none of this is. Trope that DPC sticks to? Absolutely.

Maybe just a limited capability writer for you. I don't know many VN creators able to push the same buttons emotionally.

Let's see that clearly Tybalt's accusation does not make sense since there are only witnesses and only that he was present at the party. What if Jill hasn't really come under Tybalt's blackmail and is just doing it to see if MC is trustworthy?

That would be pretty fucked up from her. Either way, all what we've seen from her character so far, her being the sensible and mature one, is now ruined

its earlier in the thread but you need to have not done the lewd scene with maya for her list before josy showed up

What lewd scene?

 

[chiipmunk]

Any other mac users having trouble? I tried extracting it with unarchiver but it's saying the zip file is incomplete, and with just the normal extraction tool I don't have permission to open the file.

i just played that scene again and jade never talked to cathy about it. didn't want to screw her friendship but it was never clear if cathy actually ever had an affair with burke or not.

 

[R1viel]

What lewd scene?

Its the scene where you help her with some of scavenger hunt. just before it you have the choice to stay with maya or go to quinn. you need to the latter to get the 100% for the scene in episode 6

2- Bella being best friends with a girl 14 years her junior is a bit odd. Not impossible, but odd. If Lynette had been her best friend, and told Bella to watch out for her, there would at least be a starting point

Holy shit, it never occurred to me that Bella might of known Lynette, just another damn plot twist DPC can use in the Bella route. I don't think Bella would take it very well if she found out she was falling in love with her best friends son.

Be even worse if Jade was friends with Lynette as she's actually banging the MC.

isn't what you just described limited capability?

An accusation with neither proof nor witnesses, they only witnessed the sprinkler going of, for whatever reason.
If he would involve the police because of his accusation, there obviously would be a investigation by experts, which would find nothing.
Don't forget that Jill as well Rustys family are influential and have money, so i wouldn't be so sure the guests/preps would do false statements, just because Tybalt can't get the women he wants.

The problem is only how Jill reacts...in previous ep's she was shown headstrong and ready to go even against MC's wishes to stop bullying. Here she just accepts the blackmail, without even checking out what happened, or use her head to see that Tybalts accustions are bs and that she should punsh him in his face as he brings this up.

Yeah Mayas loan/tutation issues sound as they would also require the suspension of disbelief, at least from what she said about the threats of her father...

For Josy ? At worst they break up, all the drama comes from Mayas side.

As for Bella...i don't even want to speculate after seeing all this silly, exaggerated drama, but it will be worse.

Honestly i fully agree with Bacchus at this point.

accusation for starting the fire maybe, but trespassing and vandalism still count, worst case mc will be expelled, hes not Chad to be given another chance, hes a freshman, a no name. of course this not will be a court battle, it wil be boring.

agree on how Jill react, just giving in right there and then.

It's peak meekness from Jill is what it is. There was always a danger that her placid, "please-everyone" personality was going to come to back to bite the MC because even if she doesn't like Tybalt's demand, she doesn't want to cause any problems for anyone and actually thinks this is a good middle ground. If DPC had made her just 5% tougher such that, even if she's mostly uncomfortable relying on her family name, she would at least know when to use in necessary situations. If she had even that modicum of a backbone, she could have let Tybalt know that, as a Royce, he doesn't get to tell her what to do and that would've likely been enough to put an end to it.

You and me have both called DPC out for his lack of writing skill..and both been burned at the stake for it. Given up caring now....his fanboys will find out soon enough for sure exactly what his writing range is really like. Hell, they are already finding out.

 

[Gladheim]

That would be pretty fucked up from her. Either way, all what we've seen from her character so far, her being the sensible and mature one, is now ruined

Not ruined, she is the same, she cares about MC and i think she loves him. She allways be the same but now She found someone who cares her truly and She wants to be sure

 

[d_pedestrian]

the biggest LOL moment is that people were expecting a lot from MC's mom will and nothing that great came out of it.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

No way! Pushing the right buttons is quite essential in this genre.

There's pushing buttons and then there's mashing all the buttons at once, and DPC seems to be doing the latter. They're going for the jugular rather than building up proper suspense and waiting till the last minute to start dropping bombs.

 

[AchedCroissant]

Do you think Jade is looking to get pregnant? this time she insisted that he end up inside her

 

[Spencer75]

That sex scene with Quinn at the DIK's mansion in in MC's Library/bedroom is THE MOST INCREDIBLE SEX SCENE I'VE EVER SEEN IN A VN GAME.
Period.

To be fair Bacchus, most of us expected drama bombs to happen. We knew none of the LI's were going to be "drama" free, hell that's why some of us don't want to get too heavily invested into bella.
