Same. It just didn't sit right with me, so I skipped that option on every save. I can't think at the moment how it would benefit Riley's path to have supported him though, what have I forgotten there? MiltonPowers?
I don't have a clue either what it could have possibly do with it. I guess we'll see next chapter, I'll def try it out with URM when that variable comes up again to see how the scene changes. I don't get it right now. If I had to guess maybe you'll get a scene with Zeke if you supported him, and you run into Riley again that way. And if you didn't support him no scene and no Riley? That'd be my best guess

Seems the best bet at the moment, I'd say.

I'm curious about that too, but looking at how Chaquino writes his routes I think I understand how it may happen.
In one of the devlogs, there was a preview with a bartender saying "courtesy of the gentleman in the corner" and Riley and another girl are shown sitting at a bar. And in Chapter 3, if you are supportive of Zeke, the MC says: "We should go for a beer one of these days".
So my guess is that they end up meeting at this bar, but if you choose the other option, you probably don't even go to the bar with him, so we can completely miss the chance to meet Riley as a whole.
That's my guess at least... :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

*raises hand*

I too would like to know how supporting Zeke somehow leads to allowing Riley's path to start. I hope it's not the yellow lemonade problem.

I actually would be very surprised, given Chaq completely rewote the start because whiners whined to high fucking heaven about the choice of going to the gym or not and completely missing Kimberly's route.

True!
it's exactly what I was thinking just now, he made missing her impossible now. Although Julia is still canceling Olivia's route if she finds out about her at the art gallery, and also the Liv choice making you miss a big bonding portion of Kim's route during the trip also makes me believe he can still pull the "colliding routes" card, as he mentioned before.

honestly I would be pissed too if I completely missed meeting an LI because of a seemingly irrelevant choice. It's just bad choice design. Meeting them shouldn't be locked behind bullshit like that. Afterwards it's up to the player if they want to pursue them or not as it should be.

Never bothered me as I play all routes anyway. Plus, as I said originally back then, much more natural imo. How many women must exist in your town? Met them all while out? Of course you haven't...any single seemingly unimportant decision you take every single day of your life could lead to something unexpected.

Oh well, at least the damn harem crowd have finally pissed off and stopped whining :ROFLMAO:

Do you play ALL the routes here? Even bowl cut? Though I suppose her route hasn't exactly started and we just have the groundwork.

I'll admit...this one 'is' tough but have it nontheless.

However, going back to that original choice back at the start...it was 2 choices. Why would anyone not explore both of them?

but it's not real life is it? I don't analyze every single choice there is in an AVN while having the script open on my other monitor just to see if I accidentally missed something important. That being said in this particular case I'm just making an argument for others. I did check out the choice and then abandoned the other option on most of my pts. But I understand where the complaints come from and I agree with them, most players won't do in-depth replays and shit, they play what's obviously in front of them, and when they realize they missed a cutie coz of an arbitrary choice of course they're gonna complain. Just because something may feel more natural to you specifically, doesn't make it a better design choice overall/for others. And it looks like the Chaq arrived at the same conclusion.
