VN Ren'Py Law School [Ep.2] [MisterMaya]

In my understanding, sort of yeah. Selfless is "generally" more the nice/light/friendly path/approaches, with the inverse being the selfish. It's not 100%, and there are also 'neutral' girls as well.

I guess we need to see more of the story and how he uses both paths to judge, for me right now I consider him either being Selfless or Assertive because even on the selfish path the protagonist seems too nice to be considered selfish.

Yeah, I changed it, I tried the Harem way, but it's really not for me. Character development is... Meh, in a harem, or at least I can't get better than meh.
Also one Milf is a LI

Thats unfortunate really liked your last game but since i really only play harem games now unless its a game i had been following for some time and iv even dropped alot of those likely wont try this

Yeah, that is a fair point. It is early to tell. More of choices between: 1) I want to become the best lawyer to use my "powers" to help people; versus 2) I want to become the best lawyer in the country for myself. Kind of like all being on the Good alignment in DnD, with varying degrees of goodness.

I'll be more interested in how the LIs will do their "assessments" of the LI. And how a subtle different in language (helping others or be the best, for example) that'll affect the gating of them. That's where my biggest concern lies for the game. It seems kind of arbitrary that someone would "lock out" because you are a bit too selfish or selfless, or aren't balancing the neutral line properly.

Going on as full of a Selfless path as I was able to, I was still able to kiss Aurora, visit her dorm, go on the movie date and fool around, have the deep conversation on the train ride home, and she still stands up to stop the alcohol from coming into the party. So not sure how I see where the gating will come in, in a way that makes sense. "Oh MC, sorry, you made a few too many selfless choices, and I'm neutral, so we are locked out now." just seems like an odd conversation to have no matter how you word it.

Like you said, we're too early in. I think down the road, the MC will be presented with larger moral dilemmas and the "selfish" option will be more like a lawyer known as a shark, doing anything to win, crossing ethical lines, etc. We've seen this out of Aurora already as she used her femininity in order to get her hands on information she wouldn't have otherwise for the mock trial. A selfless MC probably wouldn't go that route and eventually will be in a situation where Aurora just isn't impressed anymore.

I'm hoping the 'neutrals' won't require very specific playthroughs in order to keep the MC neutral. Otherwise it'll just be an on-rails story for them. Having to keep score, for example: "I need to make 10 'selfless' and 10 'selfish' choices to keep myself neutral" would just be forcing on-rails paths.

Neutral, in my opinion, should be open to any alignment as they fit in between both. Perhaps if you take a particularly "selfish" decision point, they may express displeasure or question it, but not lock out their path. Or if you take a particularly 'selfless' decision point, they may ask about why you went that way. As there is a time and place for both in different scenarios.

I'll whatever it takes for some Miranda booty. I do think this is pretty ambitious so I hope MisterMaya can see it through to completion.

I have a hard time imagining our MC crossing ethical lines or acting with no regards to the other person, even on selfish path.
I think in selfish path he is going to be someone who's direct and confident but still goes by the rules and tries to help others, based on how he still has been helping his group of friends and how he still looked worried about Aurora even after everything she had done... Of course as you said it's still too early in the story and he could still change his personality...
