When I first started playing the game, when the update for E5 dropped, Sage was my least favorite main girl. Now it completely changed for Sage being my favorite branch. Well, in so many years personal taste can change, but it is something different.
Even thought it is a "game"/VN or interactive novel, I enjoy the it more like a book.
All interactions between Sage and the MC feel so natural. My best example for this is the time-skip-sequence in E11. All main branches should feel kind of happy, right? They should all be in some kind of honeymoon-phase, but only in the Sage branch it get's really delivered. The other branches always feel more heavy and serious. Imaging even Chick-MC should bang with Josy and Maya till the wall are shaking. (Didn't play Jill branch)
Only the Bella branch, imo, sometimes had this happy kind of feeling to it. But it got ruined for drama, with these student-teacher-relations shit.
Man, sometimes you think american-style rules are retarded as shit, speaking as a european. These rules feel more like high school setting.
But back to Sage: really, fucking really enjoyable branch.

Jill route was really great this episode. Some people are playing with Fire cough cough Bianca, but Solo Jill route was worth it. She became more bold, outgoing.

And Lily too had crazy character development.

I spent the night thinking about it and Bella having a room full of whiteboards with all sort of evidence about the corruption at B&R make SO MUCH sense:

- All the reactions would work: MC&Maya are shocked to see pictures of people they know (or even them) on the boards. Bella have the face of someone thinking "Shit, I was about to talk to them about it soon (or tonight) and now it look VERY bad". And when MC narrated that he "should've seen the signs" and "would've called for help sooner", it fit if he realize her husband probably got killed and she's on a solo mission for vengeance.

- Those whiteboards were probably started by James, looking into Wallace Ressources-Burke and the scholarships
- James could've actually be trying to help Burke, if he is being blackmail by Wallace (he was working there before and Wallace probably has dirt on him... but Burke probably has some on the company too, so who knows)
- In the end, he got caught and probably killed. The body was never found, but Bella had a very big suspicion that he isn't alive anymore.
- Before knowing MC and starting to open up to that group of friends, Bella was the Ice Queen. She didn't want to be even remotely close to any of them to stay objective in her mission (expect Jill, that she already knew).
- She might've picked up the pace recently since Quinn is a bit sloppy with her restaurant, which give an opening for slip ups
- She help Sage with her dissertation, which is a great way to become close to the HOTs President + Stephen daughter.
- She feel bad for investigating her new friends without telling them, so it will be an emotional talk (especially Sage who would find out about Stephen)
- She know (in certain route) who cheated on the mid-terms but isn't doing anything about it? Is it because the culprit is part of her investigation and doesn't want to jeopardize anything?
- On top of that, you get a callback to the whiteboards (MC talk about the whiteboard at Patrick's house + he wrote Dr. Dick in the classroom).

There's also another possibility: James started looking into what happened to Lana (to help Bella help Jill) and got caught up with Buddy at some point. Since James disappeared 3 years ago, it's hard to tell if the B&R corruption was ongoing during that time or if it started when Burke saw an opening by working with Quinn (It was probably in effect with someone else in charge, I don't remember if it was establish in the first few episodes). This one is less likely.

Just imagine if Bella (or James) was the one who actually put the camera because she wanted someone to slip up and mention Burke (I'm kidding on that one, but we never know, since Magnar probably got the videos by hacking the transmition feed or something like that)

To me, it seems much more cheating to have sex with Quinn behind Sage's back, or to get caught by Jill screwing Bella.

Well, that's where you personally draw the line at being unfaithful, while the game's take on it evidently differs and it's far more inclusive. So that's rewards (or lack thereof) for being faithful according to the game's definition.

out of the 10 runs you have in how many have you been truly faithful?
Click to expand...
What makes you think i have 10 runs? :sneaky:

I have single play through for this game, just like i have for most other games. And yes, i have picked up a few TC when playing blind, out of curiosity. But if i was to play again, and with knowledge how strict the game is about them i wouldn't bother and limit myself to scenes where you don't pick up the points. Being able to choose "do you want to continue following this route you've picked in the first place, or do you want to end it early" isn't really any sort of valuable reward to me, neither i see much appeal in getting to see a render of MC making out with some random girl that didn't hold enough of my interest to pick her in the first place.

At this point, James NEED to have some importance in the story when we finally realize what happened to him. It cannot be something that is just relevant to Bella route, since they included the reveal for all the main routes. It need to be something that will affect the overall story, right?

A link to the corruption at B&R would be the best way to go ahead into the end game. There's pretty much no opening for MC looking into it up until now, and we are at Ep12. We need to find a way to link all branch to that storyline, and with every main route at that Christmas party, it will set the way for Season 4 being "Take down the corruption with the new group of friends".

But don't sell all young fish, or the population will drop dramatically.

At the moment it can't drop that much. At a future episode there will no doubt be a point where the population is too low, but at the moment the fish seem to reproduce more when there are less of them. It's too early to say what the optimum number is, but at the very least you'll save on food by minimising the population.

Which 10 dollar upgrade is the best before Baileys visit? Because now Beta orbiter Nick decided to become a sneak thief too.

True, Sage is a Neutral girl imo, the only real DIK girls would be Sarah, Melanie and Lilly, but Lilly’s story still developing so that’s probably gonna change

Idk man but Lily seems so sweet with neutral affinity chick status. Plus gentle Lily :love: :love: :love:

Question, it's been a while since I last played, but I do remember last update I kinda went for Quinn, even thought she was not one of the main girls. Any hopes she gets an official route in this new update or the next one?

Don't worry about it. DPC is a little bitch that bans people for no reason from the discord. It happens all the time for the minimal reasons.

Yeah, I'm not bothered, It hasn't really affected me in any way.
The stupid thing was that I had been a paying Patron for years, welp, guess he doesn't like money!
