As you said before, the additional choices are just to purely satisfy your personal preference. This is at the cost of making the MC inconsistent with the characterization that the dev has given him. To me, it's obvious that your personal preference doesn't beat what the dev envisioned the MC to be.
Your read over the situation is that MC was "too afraid to stand up" because if you did the same, the only reason is that you're too afraid.
The amount of subjective reasons you use to defend your point just cuz it's yours and you don't agree with mine, which is fine btw, and just want to disprove it is real funny to me, cuz there's choices in the game based on stats like charisma (a more confident/dominant MC) and intelligence (a more pacifistic one). Replay the scene when the MC and his crew try to convince the dean to let them move into a former fraternity house together and pay attention to what they say.
There's two stats clearly hinting at this bro', why try to convince me, yourself and everyone else the dev didn't intend to write the MC as a smart, confident, charismatic leader when the story itself contradicts you lol ?? I already said it a few times I don't have any problem with you liking a calmer, more pacifistic, or whatever you wanna call it, version of him, to each their own, but to me, when I hear the description of a person like that, a 'pacifist' is the last thing I picture in my mind. Isn't it a funny coincidence that picking the charisma stat leads to a Caroline, who's dominant, dream BJ scene and the intelligence stat leads to a Selena, who's submissive, dream BJ scene ??
This is spoken like someone who only ever see lawyers from watching TV shows and never actually deal with them IRL. The vast majority of lawyers are actually pacifists that they bend over for their clients. I've dealt with thousands of lawyers IRL for decades.
Uhh,
thousands of them ?? Really ??
You sure I'm the one who saw too many lawyer movies ?? Cuz honestly speaking, I only saw a few of them, can't recall exactly how many, and only a few episodes of Suits, but that was a looong time ago.
Anyway, let's pretend I believe you, tho for some reason it sounds far-fetched, I'm gonna go back to my previous example in one of my previous replies and ask you again, would really hire a so-called pacifist as your lawyer in a criminal case, where your freedom, reputation and family's good name and what ppl would think about them are at stake instead of a confident, intelligent and talented young lawyer determined to win every single case, no matter how, like Mike ?? I know I wouldn't risk it. Call me paranoid or whatever, but I'd want a guy in my corner that has at least 90% chances of saving my ass, not a dude who'd figuratively "bend over for me", which is exactly synonymous with being a

afraid to defend their opinions. That kinda lawyer don't belong in a criminal court defending anyone, cuz the prosecutors would eat them and their client alive.
You seem to forget this, intentionally or not, but I remind you again that our MC wants to be
the best lawyer in his fictional country, he even stood up to and challenged Mike's opinion on what a real lawyer should be like and he got praised for his take on this. This don't sound like something a 'pacifist' would do, and if what you said was actually true, what's the point in attending Morris' course anyway ??
Because smart person thinks about the long-term. What you want is short-term satisfaction, which is not the optimal outcome.
Owing someone a favor for keeping their mouths shut about a dirty lil secret like that IS a long-term investment with a satisfying outcome, unless the person keeping their secret (the MC) is a complete idiot who takes shit too far.
I don't "really like" any type of MC. What I like is MC that behaves consistently. My comment so far has been based on the MC that the dev has written, and not based on my personal preference. That's why I didn't say MC should've done this or that based on my personal preference.
I remind you again there's two stats, charisma and intelligence, and Caroline's class about how a lawyer should talk and carry themselves, a
fundamental skill for every lawyer, according to her, that contradict you, stuff that's in the story, not something made up by me.
Think of the MC as a work in progress, just like this game and every other person IRL is till they reach a point of success in their life when they can confidently say they're satisfied with what they have accomplished, both in their personal and professional lives. Nobody starts out as a completely perfect person, they learn stuff, make mistakes and become better as they get older, it's this type of
inconsistency that makes ppl become the best version of themselves, not doing the same things and repeating the same mistakes over and over again without learning anything from them. Same goes for the MC. You understand my point now ??
