I have a question, based on the way I'm playing 'My Dorm'. Does most everyone pick every route just to pick every route? On my main run through (somewhere in the second installment at this point), I haven't purposely picked Martha, Norah, Olivia, and Samantha. I'm waffling back and forth on Kiara, but I'm thinking no. I'm also waffling on Megan and Saira. Megan leaves me "blah', and Saira, well her I just don't like. Haven't been given an opportunity yet on Betty, but that will be a pass, as will Kate and Kim. Debbie was a yes, but Lisa s still in the maybe category, if/when that happens. Also, haven't had the wonder twins, Amanda and Eva option yet. Still haven't decided which way to go there. Would have loved to have only chosen one just to see what would happen, but its looking like its going to be a package deal, so I haven't decided yet.
Does anybody else play this game and pick and choose? I'm curious.
The other run through (just thru part 1 so far) is only picking Erika (had a thing for goth girls since I figured out what girls were and there were goth girls to look at. had to wait a while, but eventually there were goth girls), Scarlett (her reaction to the I Love You in sign language is one of my favorite reactions I have seen in these kind of games), and Maddie (the D/s relationship aspect). I am curious if it is even possible to keep the game going with just haing chosen 3 of the girls.
And naturally, at least for me, I have the whole horror of pregnancy turned OFF. Thank you DEV for making that completely optional.
So, every one out there playing 'My Dorm', how are you doing it? Everyone? Picking and choosing? I'm curious.
I am going to sound a bit absurd after your explanation, but:
1- EVERYONE. Why? Well, first of all because that is how I love to play these games. Harem of course. But, the most important part is how Trope95 (a.k.a. The Dev) set everything up. No cheating, no lying. Some obfuscation in the beginning, but, it all went away.
2- EVERYONE. Why? Because I fell in love with each an every one of the women. Not only looks... (they are all special) but the personalities. Take Saira, we start the game in a FwB relationship with her, that is nominally Open, by her demands, while neither was interested in adding anyone to the list. We quickly understand that she is trying to protect herself of a possible heartbreak, either by being forced to be away from the MC, or by being replaced by someone that is not at that risk. I could empathize with her. Almost instantly. Then there was no going back. We get home and Martha flies into our arms, instant LOVE, no going back. And so on... and so forth.
3- EVERYONE. Why? Because even the possibility of saying No to ANY of them, hurts like something of MINE was cut off. Because I've replayed this 5 or 6 times, and in both languages, and there was NEVER a second of doubt if I would ever consider saying No to anyone. Because, in my mind, after all the hours of playing this, they are already part of me, like only one other fictional character ever was, and that one is forever in my heart. Because I simply Love them all.
4- Pregnancy? Yes! I am NOT an impregnator, I am, both in games and IRL a Father. I don't have a fetish with pregnant women (but I do love them because I was in Love with them to begin with) I do, however, have a rather STRONG interest in being a Father to a rather large family.
So, we don't play this the same way, and we don't like the same things. I could NEVER play it like you do. If I were to even contemplate doing it, I think the me, myself and I, would go on a break from each other. It would be very difficult to not despise the one making that attempt.
Anyway, I hope to have explained my reasoning.
Peace
