I actually gave him a tip I felt bad for him there I was like damn maybe if they hash things out I can maybe be friends with him
Same, I always thought that there is a chance that MC and Darryl could actually become not friends exactly, but maybe less enemies and team up to help Erynn. I'd rather have Darryl as an ally than doucheface.

I seriously doubt that's possible. Plus he just doesn't seem like a good guy to me, or someone that I would want the MC to be friends with, I sure as hell wouldn't be friends with someone like that. Nathan will be coming to Madison Springs soon so the MC won't need any other friends, Nathan is a real one.
Nathan would be even better.

Flavor text only choices are one of my biggest pet peeves in VNs. Doubly so when they are scattered in games where other decisions matter. I guess it's just a difference of opinion when it comes to design philosophy.

We had no idea Nathan was coming until this episode. I can understand not liking Darryl based on his character but Nathan wouldn't influence that decision. Back when the hot tub party was the latest episode, all we had to go on was this empty choice on Layla's route as it being a possible turning point in Darryl's friendship.

I don't think that it will matter, as the interaction only happens on the Layla path. So would be MC and Darryl only become friends or dislike the MC less if you're on the Layla path? That doesn't make much sense to me.
I would imagine that any possible burying the hatchet with Darryl will come from this relay race coming up. No doubt it will be winning together and maybe giving him the chance to run the final leg to finish the race and get the limelight or insist on taking the limelight ourselves.
We may even get some back story for Darryl that he needs to win the scholarship to get to MSU, as that is his only chance of going. Whereas Emily has already told the MC that he doesn't need it and it's all paid for.

Yeah I only used the word friends cause I couldn't think of anything else to much f95 brianrot today. But I can see being friends with him if the game with on longer than than Summer if he did help with the Ethan stuff.

cooldevo proved earlier that the tipping doesn't matter. Nyx has hidden points inside other's routes before though. I think all we've pointed out so far is that Nyx has had opportunities to set stuff up and didn't take them. Ultimately it's her story and she'll tell it the way she wants to.

I like flavor choices, they can be fun.
But they can be misleading too, sometimes you make a choice thinking it's something big and as it turns out it's just fluff (still thinking about the Erynn>Girlfriend choice having no effect).
Maybe the confusion factor is exactly why Nyx likes adding some meaningless flavor choices here and there.

I'm on camp "Darryl is not that bad", he's obviously a bit of douche, but i don't think he's irredeamable, maybe we can turn him good guy.
Coach was hinting about us working together this next week, so get ready for the sob story...
He's not rich like the others, needs to work, needs the scholarship... that's why he's such a douche to anyone that enters "his territory".

I hope that we get the opportunity to steal the scholarship from him, even though the MC doesn't really need it.
Another douchebag MC choice to add to the pile. :LOL:
