I cannot explain why I could not get throught this game. I played the demo and was anxiously waiting for the full thing, then when it came out it took me like 4 days to finish it. I was getting bored, or easily distracted while playing. I still haven't finished 0.2 entirely.
Its weird because I liked his previous game and I also can't pinpoint anything that I dislike about Law School. I will try to give it one more shot when I have a free day, probably start over again.
I'm the same. I'm still waiting for it to grab me. There is a lot of great LIs which is keeping me fairly interested. I obviously give the dev some credit with his track record, so I'm prepared to give it a good chance. But at the moment, we're still meeting people and there is very little player agency (apart from turning down most sex scenes).
I expect that now the LI point system has been implemented properly, Episode 4 should start allowing the player decide how we feel and want to pursue girls, rather than being told.
The MC is one of the hardest I have found to immerse or even relate to which is not helping. I think he's a complete idiot, who struggles to keep his mouth shut, and he is constantly doing things and telling people stuff that I don't believe he should be. Its frustrating how often I go 'no, no, no'.
But with the lovely LIs (I've actually set paths for 7 of the 9), the point system starting to give us some player agency, and the expected MC growth, I do have great hopes it will end up a lot higher in my rankings.

tbh the LI is the only thing that keeps me playing the game and well the humor. I don't care about MC's but even this one has me questioning things once in awhile . But beyond the LI and humor can't think of anything I like about the game haha
Since you guys started talking about Law School, I wanted to throw in my two cents as well. I fully finished last update yesterday and I have a few thoughts.
First off, what I did not like:
1) Way too much drama for my taste.
At first, I didn’t pay much attention to it, but by the time I got through this update, it was impossible to ignore: - Aurora, MC & Jacob (the Trial), Miranda ending up in a hospital, Taylor/MC/Samara (parents situation), Sana & Victor with a gangs, Isabella getting drugged at a club... seriously, it felt like I'm in a some kind of soap opera.
If all of this had been spaced out across a few episodes, - it wouldn’t have been such a big deal. But cramming it all into one update?... for me it's too overwhelming, I mean, I'm not buying into it.
I understand that drama is what moves the plot forward, but come on, some of it just felt completely unnecessary. And MC constantly saying "I can explain"... the only thing missing - is a laugh track in the background.
Honestly, I preferred it when MC was being blackmailed over that forced kiss or freaking out about taking a basketball. It was funny at least
2) Overprotective idiot-friend cliche.
I feel like MM has a very twisted understanding of what it means to be a best friend. Being someone’s “bestie” doesn’t mean you have to act like a complete idiot.
*sigh
The whole Miranda+Sienna just drove me nuts.
There’s a minor misunderstanding after the gym scene, and Sienna just snaps, going full retard mode with her attacks on MC instead of, I don’t know, maybe talking to Miranda first?
I gave her a hard time at the end of episode 2 even though it made Miranda upset and I think it's not enough.
And then, even in episode 3, - the bitch is still being an overprotective controlling cunt. She's not even around, and yet she's still reminding and threatening MC about messing up a date with Miranda. I honestly wish there was an option to just tell her to fuck off.
Next one - Taylor/Samara/MC case
Once again, another misunderstanding after Taylor & MC date, and...surprise - the same absolutely idiotic behaviour from Samara, attacking MC, in his case the same blame goes probably to Taylor (sorry Milton, I know she is one of u'r favs).
I get it, Taylor is very upset, I really do, but common, you're best friends, - besties, you communicate with each other - simple explanation to Samara would’ve cleared everything up. Just a few words to avoid this far fetched silly drama.
I mean, later Taylor admits it's not MC fault - was is hard to tell Samara earlier? (Sorry, I know, I sound like an insensitive jerk, I guess I really am) .
Samara didn’t go full meltdown mode like Sienna but was very close to the red line in my eyes, I chose “get mad” option during the exhibition. She’s lucky she’s at least fun to have around. Still, she’s sitting at the bottom of my list for now.
These kinds of misunderstandings happen constantly in the game. Is that, like, the main moto here?
Who is next? Sana & Victor
Oh boy.
Victor is already way too overprotective. I can only imagine the chaos if we actually start dating Sana. Probably a bunch of all kinds of threats, and if there’s yet another misunderstanding (and let’s be real, there definitely will be one) - Victor's gonna beat the shit out of MC and there will another trial (the real one). Good thing I 'm not posting this on MT - don't wanna give MM ideas)))
Next - Aurora & Lana.
I think we already got some threats from Lana at the end of episode 2.
All in all, I think MM has taken this overprotective-best-friend cliché and turned the dial up to 100. It’s honestly getting out of hand.
3) Some things felt a bit forced.
There were a few moments here and there that felt unnecessarily forced, like kissing with Taylor or Selena/Caroline scenes.
Don’t get me wrong - I have no issue at all with their lesbian relationship. But was it really necessary to push those scenes on the player? Especially the 2nd one - it felt a bit out of place and like something I could’ve easily done without.
Things I did like
1) Elsa.
This girl is the one bright light at the end of the tunnel - the main reason I’m still looking forward to next updates. She was already my favourite before, but after the last update - I’ve gone full simp mode. My goddess
I agree with Des's comment on MT, though - she’ll probably take a step back in the next episode since MC wasn't expelled. But still, any scene with her is an absolute treat, a feast for my eyes, honestly.
2) Pouty, angry faces
At this point, I’d say this is MM’s brand Stuff. Those exaggerated expressions - especially the pouty or angry ones, are hilarious.
1) Personality system.
My main route is altruistic. I’ve tried to make choices that I’d go with IRL, and I ended up with around twenty-something points on that path, which I’m totally fine with, especially since the girls I’m most interested in (including my precious Elsa) are available on this route.
As for the personality-based branching - we already had a discussion about this with Milton, so I’ll just sum up what I said before.
My opinion - this is MM’s way of avoiding insane story branching later on, so, I want MM to show me his vision of how this system is actually meant to work, cause it's still not fully clear.
Until then, I’m not planning to make separate saves for the other six girls outside of Elsa, Olive, and Taylor. Just a man-whore path.
In theory, I’d love to explore paths for Sana and Miranda (neutral path girls), and also Aurora and Samara (selfish route). At the moment one thing’s for sure: I’m not going full jerk mode in a game just to fit into the selfish path. The neutral one seems more manageable.
2) About some of the girls
Miranda - she’s fucking adorable, seriously. But I’m not committing to her route unless she grows a spine and finally tells Sienna to back off. Right now, she still relies on her way too much (which I get, to a point), giving Sienna full control. I just can't stand this cunt.
Sana - I agree with some comments on MT, she doesn't strike to me as main girl, BUT, I find Sana extremely attractive (my 2nd one after Elsa when comes to looks), I really wanna try her path, sorry Will, aaaand another but... this whole looming Victor being overprotective drama is already turning me off from her route.
BTW, speaking of Will - there will be probably more drama with him coming up too (on Sana's path).
Also, still can't believe he actually dated Jessica, WTF, did he lose a bet or smth (sorry, couldn't help it )
Samara - she used to be my fourth favourite, but after this update... she’s went closer to the bottom. Like I said before - she’s lucky she’s at least funny.
Oh, and her makeup in this update? Absolutely atrocious.
Lana - still keeping her reserved in my imaginary "ending alone" route since she is a SG only
Rose - probably the funniest character in the game, at least from my perspective. I’m not interested in her romantically, but I always enjoy her scenes. Her char's genuinely entertaining.
Funny
I just remember all these talks about MC being an idiot, which I agree with, and yesterday when I bumped into this render it totally cracked me up:

I just remember all these talks about MC being an idiot, which I agree with, and yesterday when I bumped into this render it totally cracked me up:
I agree with pretty much everything you said. You mentioned Taylor, you might have noticed, that she dropped from #1 to #3 after the latest update with Miranda #1 and Elsa #2 overtaking her.
I also chose get mad at Samara, because she was being pretty unreasonable and giving us no chance to explain. Taylor should have told her it wasn't MC's fault. I also blame MC for not following after Taylor and trying to solve it immediately and MM for not allowing the dialogue to follow the choice I made. I chose I didn't want to contact my bios because of the betrayal to my parents. Yet MC told Taylor he was pissed they gave him up. Then when he's talking to Samara he said the same thing. That is not what I chose (and I did check URM to make sure I hadn't messed up).
I've been pretty anti-Sienna, but I thought her behavior at the hospital was a step in the right direction. I was waiting for her to verbally or physically attack MC, but she didn't, so maybe that crap is over.
After the top 3, I don't mind Olive and Sana. At the moment happy to run with paths for them. I also quite liked the development of Danielle (couldn't stand her after Ep 2), but I thought she seemed nicer in Ep3, and will still do a path for Samara too. Everyone can have 1 fuck up in my book, but I'll just cut her off, if there is another one. Rose and Aurora have just pissed me off way too many times and I don't even want to be friends with them. Funny though, I had both of them in my top 4 when I started.
Haven't played the game, but 'Not lewdable'? You mean 'Should be lewdable'?
Foursome w/ Fifi, Gigi & Lili: yes please. Laura & 'Student 7': yes please. + prolly some others (Valentine)

Very interesting! Trombinoscopes are useful for remembering the characters, particularly if you haven't played the game for a while. Well done, MiltonPowers!
I cannot explain why I could not get throught this game. I played the demo and was anxiously waiting for the full thing, then when it came out it took me like 4 days to finish it. I was getting bored, or easily distracted while playing. I still haven't finished 0.2 entirely.
Its weird because I liked his previous game and I also can't pinpoint anything that I dislike about Law School. I will try to give it one more shot when I have a free day, probably start over again.
Had that happen to me multiple times before. University of Problems is a massive victim of that from me. I love the game and have no issues with it, but just keep getting distracted and can't finish it.

Right, I forgot about Danielle, - agree, after this update she grew on me too. Until now she was 2nd from the bottom on my list (after Rose ).
I still haven't updated my rates, but as of right now it probably would be (only main girls):
1) Elsa
2) Olive
3) Sana
4) Miranda
5) Danielle
6) Samara (was my 4th)
7) Aurora (was a 3rd one)
8) Taylor
9) Rose (not interested at all)
On Sienna topic: yep, in a hospital for a moment I thought that maybe there is a hope, but then this scene happened (after the Trial) and all my dreams were shattered :

Just responding to this post instead of your other one as im kind of responding to both but don't want to quote a big walls of text haha
I honestly didn't think the Samara thing was a big deal at all. Maybe I forgot something but I saw as she went off before Taylor could tell her the MC wasn't at fault or did afterwards anyways. I actually hated the lesbian classroom scene with taylor cause if you were off her path to me it felt weird how she gave the MC the look like she wants to fool around either way. The only difference was the MC says no if you aren't on her path. But I did like it on her path
Honestly for me Olive is who stole the show for me in the update. I didn't care much for Miranda's content but I did like her character deveolopment. While it was pointed out to me her romance was building I just couldn't help but not feel any sort of romance with her sex scene it felt like it happened to quickly for me.
I'm mixed on the too much drama thing. I like some of it dislike other parts of it. I did like the Taylor and Aurora bits as I felt like it brought some good deveolopment to their characters. But the Sana / Viktor stuff makes her character even worst and Sienna on Miranda's path my god. I just want Miranda to move in and let Sienna and Jessica become roommates.
Funny enough I went in hating Danielle but im starting to change my mind. Which is a surprise for me , as usually I don't like teachers. Bella from BAD and the teacher from University of Problems ( forgot her name) kind of soured me from wanting to romance teacher LI , unless something makes me really like them. Which is why Elsa im fine with. Speaking of Elsa I can't wait for more with her even if she isn't my favorite she kind of feels pretty damn close to it.
Pretty much the only thing that changed in my rankings is Miranda went down lower , Danielle not hated anymore, Rose went down cause all the characters were better due to a lack of content. Finally was able to decide between Olive and Taylor but now Elsa and Taylor I can't decide between lmfao. I can't decide who I like between my bottom 3 as I just need to see more while before Danielle was a clear winner for last place.

I have the same situation as you with the alignment system - i.e., not being affected by it much because my 'main' girl is available on my path (Taylor instead of Elsa for me).
I can totally see where you're coming from with the overprotective friends thing, though the only time I got really irritated with it was Viktor in Ep. 2. No MC, I'm not interested in Sana, be it as a girl or as a friend, why do you keep spending time with her?! Oh, elbow to the face? Told ya… I didn't mind him in Ep. 3 tho. The only thing about MG's friends that worries me now is Sienna's SG status. The only thing her and the MC have in common is Miranda, and, well, I really don't want Sienna playing third wheel in the MC and Miranda's budding relationship. At least we're apparently safe from that with Taylor and Samara, with Samara being gated by Selfish and all.
(Gosh, Sana, Sienna, Samara, Selena… Real hard not to mix them up).
As for the overall drama, I don't mind it. It's an effective if a bit cliche tool to make the characters open up and get closer.
My LS MG ranking right now:
1. Taylor (she's basically female!MC: idealistic, career driven, troubled familial background. They could work together not just now, but in the future too. If the MC stops telling everyone how their dates go, that is)
2. Miranda (very hot, absolutely mad about the MC, and singing herself to bloodied throat to support the MC was touching. Hope we can limit Sienna to a minimum on her path)
3. Elsa (The older variant of Taylor, sharing her pros. Used to be my #2, but lost the spot to Miranda after Ep. 3. To me, her relationship with the MC is a bit too casual right now, I'd prefer something more romantic. Hope we'll have to deal with her ex in a non-physical way)
So, my Top-3 is the same as Milton's, just with Taylor as the 1st place.
4. Lana would be here, but she's not a MG, so Rose (has awesome chemistry with the MC, even if it's more friendly than flirty.)
5. Danielle (could be an interesting and very hot route, particularly if we can help her break Selena and Caroline up)
6. Olive (I like her, but the MC's too popular and busy for this shy virgin to keep him for long. I don't see them being equals in a relationship, and that's bad)
7. Aurora (after Ep. 3 I don't hate her anymore and even want her as a friend, but still zero interest in her as a LI, especially considering how rough she gets in bed)
8. Sana (zero interest. MC, just stay away and let Will and Viktor figure this out, will ya?)
9. Samara (too goth for me).
P.S.: after Ep. 3 Law School made it to my Top-10, beating Westview Academy, Leap of Faith, Hillside, and Fog of War to do so. I just can't deny its ridiculously high quality.
2) Pouty, angry faces
At this point, I’d say this is MM’s brand Stuff. Those exaggerated expressions - especially the pouty or angry ones, are hilarious.
Very interesting! Trombinoscopes are useful for remembering the characters, particularly if you haven't played the game for a while. Well done, MiltonPowers!
Thanks Mookys. I just started doing them for myself to help me through the games, but when I mentioned them on threads, some people asked to see them, so I thought I may as well put them up for anyone to use if they want.

Wow. Top 10. That's an endorsement. Has a fair way to go for me, but if MC can stop being a bigmouth stickybeak idiot and we can start guiding the MC in his romantic endeavors, it will certainly go up for me.
(I still can't believe that it's Episode 3 and MC is still scared that someone has a photo of him kissing a girl). Moron.
It looks like MM did something right with Danielle, seems like she went up in everybody's rankings.
For me, it's a good game overall, but like you said, I am totally detached from MC making his decisions and THE WHOLE 3 EPISODES SO FAR I AM CONSTANTLY QUESTIONING

Gave her some screen time, as far as I'm concerned. I've not got a full ranking list, so I won't say Danielle's gone up in my rankings, but I do like her a bit now, whereas previously I had no opinion on her as I'd barely seen her. It pretty much boiled down to one interaction with someone else, where she was being bitchy, and that's a bad first impression but not enough for me to judge.

Honestly I disliked her in Ep 2 not cause she was bitchy but the way she went about it. Cause Caroline or whatever was helping the MC with Olive I believe. So because of that context I saw it as a bigger deal cause it essential cancelled a private tutoring / teaching session. Then there was also the eavesdropping. I mean I started to change my mind about her now but there is a time and place and she clearly did not care she was helping students with something , which I find really shitty and disrespectful.
