Going through the start of S2, going to need some god tier writing to justify Rose being locked to neutral and Samara being locked to selfish, unless you count eating the cake meant for Taylor then I totally get it...

Miri remains best girl.

Only canon "justification" for Samara being selfish that I've found so far, is is the possibility to be on both her and Taylor's "love-path" at the same time, despite her being Taylor's best friend.

With Rose, yeah, as of episode 4 imo we still haven't seen anything yet why she's neutral and not cross-personality.

haha had to take a peak at a few post when I saw someone mention on Reddit how Rose is ruined. I just kind of skimmed them didn't read in full as not trying to get spoilers till im ready to play. Honestly doesn't seem that bad at all and feels like the push for some actual character deveolopment. I'm actually very happy for what I read even if it means Rose is "Ruined" for someone else. As it means she isn't going to be rushed to have a sex scene , which was my biggest fear for this update

Going through the Samara stuff atm, might be we have to wait a few more episodes but she just get's more likeable, they all do honestly. With Rose It's just weird seeing as she's basically MC's ride or die BF.

The not being rushed for sex scene is not the issue here. Don't talk like you know the situation and just jumpt to conclusions.

She is not ruined, just her route, with dumb decisions by the dev, MM, who doesn't care about Rose at all.

I won't say what to not spoil you, but its not character development, its just route assassination and dumb. So the issue is not no sex, it is something way, way worse in my opinion.

I agree. Also she does have a shower masturbation scene in episode 4, which is pretty entertaining. Especially after Lana enters the bathroom it's pretty hilarious how Rose reacts :KEK:

When it comes to sex and relationship with MC though, I also love it that MM takes his time building it up. Imo it would make little to no lorewise sense that in the few weeks after they entered college, they both realized around the same time that they feel more than eachother than just childhood friends/brother-sister-like.

Going through the Samara stuff atm, might be we have to wait a few more episodes but she just get's more likeable, they all do honestly. With Rose It's just weird seeing as she's basically MC's ride or die BF.
Not only is she getting more likeable, Imo she's also the most attractive we've seen so far. I really love her looks when they were waiting at the airport.

Just like you are, he was talking about his own concerns. He didn't say that saying Rose or her route is ruined is because of a lack of sex. He said that rushing into a sex scene with Rose was something he was concerned about, and it appears that that won't be the case, so that's a good thing for him.

For the other part, I know it's just your opinion, but it's unfair to say the dev has made a "dumb decision" and "doesn't care" about one of his characters. That's a bit rude, actually, IMO.

I'm having trouble running the game on mac. I've downloaded season 1 and tried to run the game but everytime I get stuck on the loading screen. Here is the error output from terminal:

[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; ipcserver init failed .
[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() did not locate a running instance of Steam.
[S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): Could not determine Steam client install directory.

I would appreciate any help.

To be fair, Rose can be annoying while other characters are often more charming and interesting
The author is feeding the childhood friend not getting any game trope lol

Man S2E4 ending on a cliffhanger, damnit.

With there not being a summary at the start I just replayed all of S1 again, only to realize halfway through there is a diary in your phone that I couldve used. Maybe this should be referenced at the start of the episodes....

Anyway, I ended up not being a cunt again (altruistic) but had the all paths mod turned on. Seeing how the vanilla experience will just blatantly and arbitrarily lock you out of a lot of choices starting in S2 really gives me FOMO. If you arent selfish you basically get 0 interaction with Samara, if you arent neutral you cannot tell Sana you will text Viktor etc. Cba doing 3 diff playthroughs to lock in personality choices and then basically another 1 for each LI if it comes to splits in the end. Guess we will see with how many paths we end up, and if and how different the relationship with the 3 cross path LI's will be based on personality.

Well, I wouldn't say she's ruined. I'd rather say she hasn't changed at all. I've written before that for me Rose is just a friend, nothing more. And DEV has confirmed this even better in this update. Apologies in advance to all Rose fans, but this girl is the weakest "female" character. Yes, unfortunately DEV refuses to give her any femininity compared to the others. A very nice and shapely ass, cute tits, and that's it. She still has the soul of a child in her, which makes every scene of hers a joke, considering her age. This episode even made a joke out of her masturbating. And then, to top it off, she had an idiotic misunderstanding with Lana. I firmly believe that DEV doesn't take this otherwise cute character seriously at all. Of course, since she's "LI", I also wish Rose the attention she deserves in the future, like the other girls...

It's a valid crash out though. As someone who just plays for Rose, it's kinda frustrating to spend hours dodging every other girl in the game only to end up being the matchmaker for the one you care about :HideThePain:
That's just how it looks (or might look) at the moment. Obviously it's not going to be a case of setting Rose up with another guy instead of getting with her yourself. There wouldn't be a Rose path if that was the case. What we have at the moment in that respect is misunderstanding, which will presumably resolve itself, at least to a degree, in the next update (presuming the party is in the next update). Of course, I am only using my head to come to this conclusion, not any inside info from the dev, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet.
Has MM ever clarified why she isnt an all path LI? I dont understand the hard lock to a path for Rose either, makes alot less sense then some of the other cross path LI's.
The way I see it, the cross-path LIs aren't about who makes the most overall sense in terms of the endgame, it's about which three have the most impact on the overall story. Which three have storylines that are going to crossover regardless of what your personality type is and what girls you might be flirting with.

Olive and Elsa are the only other two who might realistically qualify for that list at the moment, but Olive is a bit too much of a slow burn for it, and even these two have scenes that are not present on all paths because someone else takes precedence over them (even if Elsa does have some of the "early" lewd scenes) whereas with Aurora, Miranda, and Taylor, you're getting their stories regardless of whether or not you're romancing them.

Yea I noticed that S1 has very neutrally spread first days, but in this first bit of S2 you have a lunch date with Sana OR olive, and obv its either Alt or Neutral paths, so you lock out either way.

Seems the paths are used more to avoid scheduling conflicts, but doesnt really mesh with the writing. Why wouldnt altruistic MC help Senna by messaging Viktor etc. Im sure there will be many more such examples.

They aren't all going to get to the same point at the same time. Some will take longer than others, just look at Danielle's path also for example. I would argue that she has even less screen time than Rose.

Well I just think what you describe has always been pretty much her character, her role is both to be the best friend secretly in love that goes unnoticed and also to be the comedic character when compared to other girls.

We will eventually notice her and then her route will properly start, but until then I expect the dynamic between them to continue to be like that and judging by how MM writes characters some seem to progress faster than others and Rose seems to be on the slower side.
