Replayed this recently imo I agree with you guys I liked Maddie the best. Rion was cute and looked good, but the whole cheating thing and the part at the springs when you thought she was going to finally commit to you she says she loves both you and Nora and has to basically be talked into a relationship with you by Nora if you're going solo Rion. Also the fact that you visit the dead ex’s grave in one of her endings. Plus how she wants to be fought for rather than being clear as to what she wants makes her seem indecisive. Idk she had sweet segments, but parts of her route kinda bothered me.

I don’t think she’s an awful character or anything like that just some parts of her route are kinda icky. For the boyfriend question: From what I remember the boyfriend either runs away or dies in every route. Like in one of Maddie’s endings he ran away when he and Rion went for gas.

That's the one I remember the most, the pussy just up and leaving poor Rion on her own.

My memory is haze now, but I think Rion was the least abrasive :) Others had some bitch moments, maybe that's a reason.
I liked Maddie first, then Nora, then ended up with Rion :D

Nora I do think is the hottest one. Nora is the LI I wish we had more time to get to know as I could see me liking her more than Rion if we had more time with her. She for me was very likeable and fun to be around also that dance animation is :love: :love: :love: .
But yeah she also has a negative stealing from us and basically being a leader of the bad guys or at least 2nd in command of them.
OK, now you reminded me why I actually dropped Nora path.
That bandit-stuff was a hell of a revelation hahah. Though, like I said I'm still gonna play it someday.

Maddie for me this is gonna be a hot take but I did not find her attractive personally. Only towards the end I thought she started to get better looking but still wasn't 100% into her looks. I also didn't like how she withheld info to us and if you follow her path I believe she does put you in danger by not dropping her mission by being stubborn as hell.
Like Milton said - when you're on her path she opens up pretty quickly.
Though keep in mind - you have to be fully on 100% committed to her. I don't know whether the game mechanics has been changed or not since then, but when I played it was - if you try to step aside even for a little you lose points with a LI, even if it's some minor event, just to spend time with other girl - you still lose points with your main one. So if you tried to play a field you might have lost points with Maddie and in this case yeah - she probably didn't trust you enough to fill you in.

Also on whoever path you play, honestly I don't remember Maddie intentionally putting everybody in danger, but played it long ago so might have forgotten a few things

yeah I think it's more or less cause I played her path last as I wasn't interested all that much in her. I mostly recall her not trusting me on 3 of my saves. Yeah she never put the MC in danger on purpose but from what I thought I remember it was her being stubborn that did but that probably was me miss remembering slightly. I just recall her being stubborn as hell.

She puts everyone in danger regardless of the path you are on. The entire trip was her idea, and she was using her "friends" to cover up her real reasons for being there. Maddie is sexy as hell, but she is just as morally grey as Rion and Nora.
The girls are all pretty flawed characters, which makes it a more interesting game in my opinion.
Also makes it understandable that some players don't like any of them. ;)
