I like Josy too, but not when she's with Maya, Isabela is fine but i hope that MC will make her change more, she's too stern and needs to relax more, drop out some more of that very serious personality.
I made sure to pick the option 'Anyway...' iso 'Don't fight tonight' bc I saw that it activates a 'fight' variable or smth like that. I didn't actually see any change with them two, but maybe it helps in the next ep to speed up their breakup :sneaky:

As for Bella, she was quite daring in wearing that revealing costume. But her general apprehension is understandable - she'd probably be fired if it was revealed she was dating her own student. And it would also make it difficult to get a new job.

I honestly think that DPC is sort of pushing the 'get with Bella, but still like Jill' path as the 'true' path for Jill. The reason for it is very simple - if you 'like' the current version of Jill, you are liking a character who was created by her parents to be a model daughter, as opposed to Lana who was more of a rebel and would have been good friends with Sage. For mine, Jill as she is at the moment is incredibly repressed emotionally - she can't even say that she hates Tybalt (even though it's abundantly clear that she does). She'll never express herself the way that would allow her to tell Bianca that she is being cheated on...everything is always about 'how it will look' rather than what it makes her feel. She's even internalising everything when she has sex, FFS - to the point where she literally thinks that she hopes she can orgasm - instead of just enjoying it, it's more about the 'performance'.

But if you go down the Bella, but still have feelings for Jill route, you are forcing her to face the fact that her naïveté is not always going to be viewed as cute and wholesome. At the moment, she is the same character as Sandy Olsen that is mocked in the movie Grease with the song “Look at me, I’m Sandra Dee”. Well, in that movie, Sandy does her own introspection at one point:

Look at me
There has to be
Something more than what they see
Wholesome and pure
Oh so scared and unsure
A poor man’s Sandra Dee

It’s at that point that she enlists the help of a friend to change her image - and I’ve always thought that Jill will go through the same radical transformation, probably with the help of Sage (who will become friends with her). You can start to see her becoming more extroverted based on the costume she chooses to wear to the party - if you’re on the pure Jill path, she’s very wholesome and not sexy at all. But on any other path, she is wearing the bee outfit - either as a way to flaunt to the MC what he turned down (if she liked him) or as a way of being less of a prude. On the Bella/Jill path, it’s most definitely both.

Jilly, you must start anew
Don’t you know what you must do?
Hold your head high
Take a deep breath and sigh
“Goodbye to Sandra Dee”

Jill simps get the neutered, watered down version - the goody two shoes princess/ugly duckling who they can keep locked in a cage, which is what they want. Real Jill fans who want to see her grow and blossom get the sexy as fuck, lady in the street but a freak in the bed/beautiful swan that soars.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
ep8_jill_state == 1
branchjill == False

That's what triggers the scene where she cuts the picture. Basically any scenario where you are still on the Jill path going into EP8, but didn't choose Jill she'll look at the photo. She will cut it in all but one scenario. She also cuts it if she rejects you in EP8.

The only time where she looks at the photo but decides to keep it is if:

- You fought for Jill in EP7 as Neutral or Chick
- On both Jill and Bella's Path in EP8
- Chose Bella in EP8
- Kissed Jill in the EP9 Bench scene after telling her that you couldn't choose both of them.

I just hope that episode 10/11/12, whenever Christmas Scene happens, we are not getting primed for another AL ordeal.

Vinny, Rox and Co. are all troubles for sure, BUT seeing how it happens at Bella's, the whole line narrated by MC "If I knew the reason for her tears and persona, I wouldn't have kissed her that night, I would've called for help"... I think sadly the possible AL-ish cataclysm is centred around Bella. I hope I'm wrong, but that dinner might be the start of the end game. There is a reason why it played before the episode(not like the Halloween preview at the end of ep8). Way too much resources on a random event.

Thank you. I am playing with a mod on the Jill path. I tried to switch to Bella and it worked fine, but the dialogue choice in the bench flashback with Jill does not show up, instead Jill walks away devastated all the same. There could be some other variable at play.
I replayed ep.8 on Bella path and now the bench kiss scene shows up. Forget what I wrote, Jill is going to grow claws and fangs to become the bitch seen in the very first intro of the game. This is going to be fun...

Sage right now is by far the best LI in my opinion.
Too bad the MC is being a giant pussy early on and sabotaging it himself just fine. Honestly I think continuing to deny her and going down the Others path might be better since she says she's still interested so the MC can grow some fucking balls even as a DIK.

I made a post about it earlier, male silhoutte in the hidden room. I'm thinking her husband's in a coma or something and he's in that room and finally wakes up on Christmas.

I really didn't like the interlude it was a waste of resources from dpc, tho i gotta say i really liked Zoey here in this update so i think that dpc should've just made a flashback in this episode with her telling our mc what she's been doing the last year... simple as that, there was no need for that interlude...
Maybe because he didn't want a year between updates, 9 months is bad enough. Oh well, either way, too late now.

Bellas husband is a zombie and breaks free from the room and thus the zombie apocalypse begins during Christmas dinner.:Kappa:

I started the game all over the for the heck of it and when I get to the part in Chap. 2 where Bella's Husband James meets Her in the Library my game crashes. Is there any reason for it. no mod in it. I haven't been able to save anything to play Chap. 3 yet.

idk bro, they might be swingers and we all know Andy is a cuck, i cant think of a logical situation where i would ever take one of my girls female friends home and leave my girl at the party.
It's very easy. You do it when you want to fuck your girl's female friend behind your girlfriend's back. And you aren't insecure to the point you think your girlfriend will cheat on you the minute you leave the room.

or don't care if she does. For all we know their relationship might be just arranged business thing for Bianca's boyfriend and he isn't all that invested in her)

A warning to everybody:

if you date all the Main Girls till the end of episode 8, you will get 2 heartbreaking scenes in episode 9.

So, if you don't want to be in relationship with Josy&Maya and you don't want to make Josy cry, you'd better tell them that you want to be friends in the library . If you don't want to be Jill's boyfriend, you'd better dump her at the first tennis date, otherwise she will be devastated.

I've warned you: I made Josy cry, and I feel like shit , now. :cry::cry:
Wasn't that heartbreaking to me, and only recall one scene even close to that, where he "dumped" Jill (never saw the Josy/Maya breakup because that's what I went for, 2 pussies are better than 1 if MC can't keep fucking almost everyone until graduation like one can in the real world). Really she may be rich and in her 20's but acts like she's early teens. They weren't even exclusive and she acted like he was asking for a divorce and wanted to take the kids with him. Sure, I'd be disappointed if it was me (no one wants to hear they've essentially been replaced by someone better), but I'd get over it by the next new day. As far as Josy/Maya dunno why they'd be butthurt for long, they'd still have each other's pink canoes to paddle.
