Two questions: affinity? and did you get jill's lewd scene from episode 7?
Affinity by the end of Episode 8 was Neutral. In Ep 7 it was probably DIK.
No, things with Jill seemed to turn in Ep 7 around the time of Tybalt's Presentation with the dick pic and her realizing I had slept with Josy (didn't sleep with Sage). Up to that point Jill was heavily prioritized in my playthrough, picked her ahead of pretty much everybody else from what I remember, had the good date with her on the picnic, etc.
Thanks. That was interesting. What kind of playthrough was that?
By the end of Ep 8 I had Neutral affinity (permanent). I basically played it the way I would IRL for the most part - just choosing things that I'd do, the only exception is going slightly heavier DIK options with Quinn to open up more dialogue opportunities with her. Turned down a number of sex opportunities depending on situations (like not sleeping with Jade as I was worried about that coming back to bite me later with Jill), so it's not like I was going man-whore route or anything, but I did opt in with some of girls of course that I felt like there was good chemistry with - Lily is probably the girl that my character currently has the best connection and chemistry with.
And I've avoided the throuple with Josy & Maya as I don't want a relationship with Maya, just a solo Josy route, so I'm hoping that opens up at some point - it was interesting during the 'choice' section where I could only pick "Jill" or "Other", when I would choose "Other" it even specifically had MC think to himself about how he had feelings for Josy but that she wasn't available right now and so wasn't an option, etc. so that makes me hope a route with her will open up later. I was admittedly disappointed when there weren't more girls listed since the narrative definitely hints that certain girls want some level of a relationship with the MC, like the aforementioned Lily, and even girls like Nicole, etc. seem to have good bonding scenes with him if you go that route. I definitely find a number of the side girls just as interesting, if not more so, than the main girls but I imagine since they are considered side girls (like Lily) that we won't have an ending option with them. My dude might just have to roll as future loner DIK President.
