Missing a few RPs with Jill is of no consequence. Missing Jill's first big lewd scene is frustrating but acceptable (especially since the MC himself wouldn't see it anyway). But missing the morning jog with her at the end of Episode 7 (and thus Jill's first attempt at deliberately risque behavior with MC), that is pushing things too far IMHO. Choosing Sage over Jill in that instance doesn't say much about how important Jill is to an MC, so making that the key to gating progress with Jill really knocks me out of the narrative and reminds me I'm playing a game.
It almost sounds like this is a point of no return with Jill, don't go on the picnic and it jeopardises the entire relationship.
Still, the fact that you can shun Sage for the entire game then go ballistic on her ass (in a good way) in episode 7 means there's hope for all the relationships to be rekindled at some point (we're not on the home stretch yet and the mc's only been at college for what, like a month?)
DPC's definitely taking a unique step here where seemingly lost relationships (M&J, Sage) can be rekindled later on (I'm speculating about the M&J, but it does feel like a couple relationship can be forged with one or the other eventually). I wonder if that luxury will be applied to all characters or if it's just to be chalked up to the randomness of life.
Bella brings up Jill (if on her route) when dumping MC because of Cathy but doesn't if she isn't despite knowing that they've been dating. Don't understand that at all but whatever. I just find it a bit bizarre.
Cathy was the straw that broke the camel's back, plus it was the mc that technically brought up Jill in the car dumping scene (they weren't dumping cars, the mc got... yeah you know what I mean).
When the mc kinda turns the tables on Bella and accuses her of fucking with him while she's helping to set him up with Jill, she admits that's just a further complication and another reason to end the relationship. But if Cathy wasn't in the mix, Bella is prepared to keep pushing that complication from the forefront of her mind. It will get ugly eventually though, I'm sure.
Where did Sage show any concern for Maya (or any one else for that matter) prior to the ep. 7 saintly awakening? She must have been visited by the ghost of christmas yet to cum during her fever. Up until that point she has shown two emotional states:.angry and horny. Prior to ep. 7 the only real interaction Sage/Maya had was Sage telling Maya you can't switch mothers. Sage essentially goes from self-absorbed (ep. 1 - ep. 6) to out Jilling Jill with a sudden concern for others (ep. 7). Sage takes the veil while Jill takes the skullcap.
Fishy.
Well, if you chose Sage over Jill (who are we kidding, that's a forgone conclusion with you
), maybe that sob story of the mc's when he's in bed with Sage and she got all emotional woke something up in her.
But if you choose Jill over Sage (I'm talking about other people, I know you personally couldn't do that
), then that theory dies in the water, but perhaps her breakup with Chad also did something to her.
Up until her breakup with Chad she was rather self absorbed, she was struggling to run the HOTs (delegating too much authority to Quinn), getting bent out of shape with the suspicions that Chad was cheating on her, and any time she wasn't doing that, she was fucking the mc.
Now that the relationship with Chad is over, maybe she's got time to give a shit about the rest of the world.
She still has to find out who the side bitch is, so looking forward to see how that's handled...
I agree with you, and the problem is that the scene has no prior notice
MC may have hinted to Sage about wanting to have a serious affair with her, there are some dialogue options, but he may as well have never done it. that 180 degree change in behaviour comes out of nowhere
That scene where the dumbass mc rejects Sage hit me harder than when M&J reject the mc.
When the girls rejected the mc I was like, "Damnit, I fucked up!"
When the mc rejects Sage is was like, "What the FUCK! Are you fucking kidding me!? Fucking Sage at the end of this scene was how it was meant to go! You fucking idiot mc! DISOWNED!
