Not really, I was just getting bored with Kim & Keyla. :ROFLMAO: And really wanted to see some nice renders of Michelle. :love:
who the fuck isn't bored of them :ROFLMAO: I have a save for every one of the girls/potential combos except those two. And I'm looking forward to Riley too, whatever that entails.

I don't like her at all, so I'll probably only do a Keyla route when the game is done. As for Kim, not even that, her whole plot is stupid and can't be bothered with it.

I like how even though the world is vast and we all have our differences, we can all come to the agreement that Kim is trash.
Makes me have hope for humanity.

Yeah like if im being honest Kim is only getting a playthrough just to see how bad it gets. I actually enjoy playing bad EX's because I want to see how bad it gets or how bad a MC gets fucked over otherwise would he a harrrd pass

I actually really like Alessa so far just not sure if I like her enough to put her as my 3rd spot in my top 3 yet. It's between her and Oliva potentially Kimmy but not sure about that as much I like Kimmy im not really into her like everyone else that likes Kimmy is

Same (paths for everyone except those 2). I've got Riley in my top 3, I'm quite excited to see where it goes. :love:

Yes, that's true. But she didn't try anything else despite sleeping in the same bed as the MC.
That's fair... I think it was mostly about enticing the MC and showing him what he's been missing out on. I still count that as taking initiative.

Zeke cheats on her constantly, suspects she might be doing the same with the MC and proposes to her because... he's desperate to prevent her from leaving him?
I don't remember how accurate this is. Did Zeke cheat on Keyla in college, or was this just a suspicion? And I don't remember anything about him suspecting her cheating on him. That said, I agree that this leap in not-logic is a big ask. If Zeke had access to pussy galore, then something about Keyla would've been special to him, but not special enough to not cheat on her. I can understand Keyla's perspective better, agreeing to Zeke's proposal after getting dumped by the MC, maybe out of fear of being alone.
My general point is that young people are dumb, and rarely think things through. Zeke might have had a subjectively compelling reason to propose to Keyla which seem too farfetched from an objective outside perspective.

Everyone is only talking about the two main characters Kim and Kayla. I would like to see Cynthia as a LI too, not just a one night girlfriend.

For me that would be Sarah think her name is Keyla's friend.

Some girls do take initiative to an extent like Kimmy inviting the MC back to her place or Julia inviting him to the park even if you don't ask her out at the first opportunity but if you don't make a move on them... nothing happens. They just give up. I'd like to see at least one of the girls be more proactive and Kim is the one that needs to do the most work if she wants a (second) chance with the MC.

It was pretty much confirmed here:

As for Zeke knowing about Keyla & MC, there are some hints about it like when he tells the MC he proposed out of desperation but not elaborating further when pressed on it. I just find it very strange that he slept with any girl that opened their legs for him and was still so desperate to prevent Keyla from breaking up with him that he resorted to proposing. It's even more baffling if he knew about her & the MC. I can somewhat understand Keyla's perspective too (even if it's still really stupid)... but Zeke's? Nope.

Yeah, I can see your point. If there's anyone who should/would fight for the MC, it would be Kim. Except for Keyla, she's the only LI who knows what she's missing out on.

Yeah, that is very weird. Still, he could have a subjective compelling reason... For instance, pressure or promises from his parents relating to him being in a stable relationship or something. It'd be fucked up, and I don't think anything like this was even hinted at, but it could easily be written in if that ever gets explored more.

There's also a moment where Zeke says Julia looks at the MC with the same look "someone" used to look at him. It may be Kim he's referring to, but I do think he means Keyla.
I think this desperation was that he knew Keyla and MC were doing stuff, and she was going to break up with him, so he proposed to her so she wouldn't.
Maybe it doesn't make much sense, but it's what I can think of too
I was thinking the same thing, Zeke knew *Kayle was cheating on him with Mc. He didn't like Kayle but he did it out of anger and jealousy towards Mc.

Or there is a small possibility that Zeke was forced by his family to marry *Kayle.

No need to look for a logical reason when even the developer calls Zeke and *Kayle stupid. :BootyTime:

Starting to go around in a circle as some of these details have been covered at length in previous posts.

Zeke proposed to Keyla out of desperation; and I don't recall seeing any reason given for why he was so desperate, yet. I've never seen any indication he did it out of anger or jealousy. He was cheating on Keyla with "all those sorority girls..." so why would he be jealous or angry that Keyla cheated with one person? With both of the conversations they have with Sarah or MC, neither seemed to love or care for the other and both had lousy reasons to get married at all.

Thankfully Chaquinn writes his code pretty clearly for whos' talking as I didn't happen to have a save near this spot and didn't feel like skipping through to this Chapter 3 conversation. See line 5 of the scene.

Python:
scene ch3_zeke_talk1_42 with dissolve
    ...Zeke "Yesterday on my way home I had made up my mind."
    Zeke "I wasted both our lives long enough."
    scene ch3_zeke_talk1_43 with dissolve
    Zeke "Sometimes I even ask myself if I ever even loved her."
    Zeke "I proposed to her... out of... desperation."
    scene ch3_zeke_talk1_44 with dissolve
    MC "Desperation?"
    scene ch3_zeke_talk1_45 with dissolve
    Zeke "…"
    scene ch3_zeke_talk1_42 with dissolve
    Zeke "Never mind, it’s done now anyway."
    Zeke "Since we bought the house together, we’ll put it up for sale and split 50/50. I’ll keep my car, and she’ll keep hers."
    scene ch3_zeke_talk1_46 with dissolve
    Zeke "I’ll rent a room nearby for a few weeks until I find a place."
    Zeke "I told her she can stay in the house since her parents don’t live here, not really sure what she will do, but I don’t think she will stay there either."
    ...
I'm hoping to find out what he considered "desperation" enough to propose to someone he doesn't think he ever loved.
