Not interested in playing a female avatar, or this character. It was annoying in Witcher 3 and Ciri was a much more interesting character, not interested in repeating the process.

I'll pass, maybe pick up the game later on if I can skip this bit and if the story doesn't go off the rails with the re-introduction of the long lost love.

*sigh* even with throwing a kitchen sink's worth of girls at the MC I somehow knew the dev couldn't resist the urge to soap-opera this story even more.

Have you got multiple accounts? I swear I got into an argument with someone just like you in another thread, they even used the same "healthy sex life!" woke bullshit line. I'm not even sure why you felt the need to white-knight and pick up on the piece of throwaway "dialogue" I included to summarize what she was (probably) doing, but you need to get off your fucking horse.

As for your post, to be clear, I don't give a fuck. Let them fuck whoever in the past, but when the MC is in the story if they're fucking another guy and they're a potential target it's NTR and that shit can fucking burn.
Imagine being insecure about an imaginary person.

can't import save data season 2 to season 3. very sad. I think I have to re-download season 2. Does anyone have save data for season 2? I play using emu joiplay
I did load my latest save in Episode 2 and saved it again. That worked for me to import it into the prelude then.

Someone once told me that if you are going to be saying all the time, for example, that you are not going to like a movie and you are going to be like that all the time for months and when you see it you keep saying the same thing over and over again, do not expect otherwise to what you have always looked for

Ok. Call me a dumb. I surely desserve it.
But... Where's the link to download this interlude ? I can see only links to 8.2.

The conclusion is what Zoey and the MC were to each other. Maybe will be again.
That ship has sailed my friend... if you are a Zoey zealot ( how could anyone be ??? she only got introduced now... ) you do it deliberately but if you played the game you most certainly found someone by the time you reached EP 8 endings that you like... and would love to see where it goes with her... NOW putting Zoya back in the picture is a shameless stirring on the shit pot :LOL: :ROFLMAO: :KEK:

That's not 100% true. I didn't think I was going to like GOTG and Ant-Man. I was actually expecting them both to be garbage. I ended up liking both.

The quality of the interlude is good, but the timing is not. Even if we believe DPC when he said that Zoey's story is integral, it only means that the storytelling is poor because we've had 2 seasons for 2+ years where Zoey simply doesn't exist. If we really need an interlude for whatever reason, IMO it'd make more sense to make it about the existing girls instead of introducing a new character. There are definitely some girls that could use more character background story.
Interlude:

"The definition of an interlude is a pause in something, such as a play, or is an intervening period of time in between two other things. A break in between your morning and afternoon work is an example of an interlude. An intermission between two acts of a play is an example of an interlude."

This "Interlude" comes at the midpoint of the game (DPC has said we're about half way through the game), so timing wise, as an Interlude, it comes at the exact right time.

An "Interlude" about the characters that have already been driving the game so far wouldn't be an interlude at all, it'd just be more of the same.

Was it enjoyable? It was fun. Did we need it? Possibly not, the same could have been relayed in significantly less time.

The big question is, did DPC need it? I'd say he probably did. He's been churning out BaDIK now, at breakneck speed, working long hours on the game with hardly any time off, for more than three years. Maybe he needed a change of scenery so to speak. Give the man his due.

My only real criticism of the Zoey story is it hasn't raised any new questions.

It's the unanswered questions that fuel the fan base, and this Interlude simply opened and closed a book on Zoey's recent past. But at the end of the Interlude, the only things people are wondering is what is up with Sage, and who are the Vixens (those two questions have stolen Zoey's thunder) . :unsure:

I find it strange that he used Life is Strange as an inspiration. I always thought that he took ideas from Bully, to be honest, but maybe it's from both.

Overall though, without going too much into spoilers - Interlude was better than I expected it to be. Zoey was well-written and defined, her motives were clear and we found out there were reasons behind each of her actions (unlike some other characters written in the story, which make you scratch your head).

But most importantly, Zoey was relatable, at least to me as a person, unlike other characters in the game like Jill, Bella, Rusty, Sage, Quinn or Chad.

We all have dreams and ideas and you have to be very brave to leave everything behind to chase them. Her Nana storyline is beautifully written and at the same time, it's heart-wrenching, it's emotional. I've already said it in an another thread, it's probably the first time I got so emotionally invested in a VN and it seems that DPC has kicked his writing up multiple notches (or maybe it's because the episode is smaller in size and he isn't as rushed as to get things done in time so he can outdo himself once again).

The part where we define Zoey's character is questionable, since she really isn't the MC, so we'll see the outcome of it in the next episode probably. I'm assuming it's going to be something related if she'll be a DIK or a CHICK character depending on our choices.

But overall it's been a very very good update, even though I was very sceptical of it at first. I'd even go as far as to say that its probably in the top 2 updates of the game in terms of storytelling.

But the worst thing is having to wait for the actual episode 9 again. I'm hopeful we'll get it sometime in July or August, since with the Interlude out of the way, it's going to be a smaller update, but my gut tells me that it will probably be a late-September or early-October release.
Something i wondered about the interlude. Is MC always a chick? I loaded in a neutral play through and the MC was always put down by Zoey for being girly does that change if you're a dik play through? You know song about two bowling balls next to the national monument.

I enjoyed the interlude a lot sure it was shorter then a normal update and a lot less sex but it was very good.

She could be mad she could be concerned. I'm leaning to concerned as a red Herring. He see's the picture runs to the bathroom freaking out he locks the door and Sage is just worried and confused.
