Can you imagine that someone could force Bella to attend college with snobs and teachers with a stick up her ass? I can not.
ZPR is an ordinary college, and Bella, Sasha, Ayua, Zara and other children of wealthy parents attend this college (and not a college for snobs) for their own individual reasons.
Well, this is my personal vision
Or the courses offered are different. Not every college has a great art department, or music program. Not everyone wants to study the economics of doctors in Wollust for example
Some people prefer a great philosophy department and aspire to teach postgrad. Every college has it's different angle.
Exactly. We may raise an eyebrow at the situation, but, in the end, it's just a plot device and nowhere near as far-fetched or game-breaking as some make out.
Not everything in this game is U.S.-centric. Without implicit mentions in the game - Nojiko could work at a State-run hospital or a private hospital under a socialized health system or a privatized health system. Her salary as a doctor ('none of this unsubstantiated 'specialist' bullshit) is unknown. She may or may not have taken on student debts (bearing in mind we know little about her family or parents or past life). The MC and Nami's tuition may be expensive or it may be State-subsidized/free. Nojiko may own her home outright, or have a mortgage, or rent. Nojiko's reasons for living somewhat modestly, compared to her social circle revealed in Ch 5, are unexplained.
ONLY Ocean can answer these questions at this point.
Exactly, and she might have gambling debts, she might have paid immense sums to become custodian for Nika and Nami, she might be paying her own parent's health bills. As I think you implied earlier, there are so many reasons people aren't always at the peak of their profession. Not everyone has a drive to earn the top dollar, some people do a lot of charity work, some work places suck.
But yes, a bit part of the assumptions people make is that doctor means what it means in their part of the world. What we know is that Noji stopped Nick having amputation - amputation after an accident happens in an emergency ward, which means a general hospital, not a specialist centre. People don't chose where the ambulance takes them from a car crash. Once they're out of danger, people might upgrade to a more exclusive hospital, but given how Nika, Nami AND Noji all say to how stressed Noji is from work, she'd not top dog. She didn't believe in herself to risk opening a private practice, that is stated.
The characterisation is pretty on point for where I live, for a mid level doctor somewhere that real estate is inflated by all the millionaires around. I'm far more interested in how Noji knows Katie, because that's juicy, real estate is very dry.
So, didn't play this awesomness for a year and a half. I was about to play that update, but just read that Chapter 5 Full will also feature the rework of Chapter 2's renders, and that saves from the beta won't be portable. Should I wait for full version? Do we know about a timeline for it?
End of the year, start of the new year-ish Ocean's last post release log (not called a dev log this time so harder to find by search) talked about the road map. Next release is WiaB in maybe 2-3 weeks.
