The thing is, with potentially at least 3 more episodes of main story to go (according to DPC) it doesn't even necessarily have to be resolved in Ep 12. This next Ep could just be one where the MC realises it's not been going as well as he might have thought, kind of like how Maya didn't seem to think the communication between her Josy was as bad Josy thought it was. So by the same token, the MC may not be very aware of issues involving himself and his communication with the girls not to mention the fact of not giving them an equal amount of his time.

With the conversation they have at Bella's, it feels like a "reset" moment for them, and a proper one this time. For the first time that we've seen, they've properly opened up to each other about their issues and concerns instead of just "following the stream", as Josy put it, by simply sidestepping them in order to focus on resolving Maya's loan situation. If they bring this to the MC and they all realise things need to improve if they want this to work, it could be that it goes a few more episodes to give them and players that chance now that the characters realise they have things to work on. They can address any imbalance and maybe it could even be considered wiped clean in terms of the scene choices previously made and there will now be choices going forward that truly decide it.

As to what you said in that prevous post, I don't know if I'd go so far as to say an unachievable throuple twice in 2 games would be any sign of "prejudice", but it certainly isn't the best thing a dev can do to keep playing around with their audience like this. And yes, he'd never make the monogamous MG branches impossible to achieve no matter what choices you make, so it really would be incredibly unfair to do this to a MG branch just because it's a relationship with 2 girls.

Prejudice might be a strong word, but I'd argue it'd at a minimum suggest an unjustified bias. If the supposed rational for poly relationships unavoidably breaking up is "realism" or something like that, then an unbiased position would also have several of the monogamous paths have unavoidable breakups as well. Half of the main LI Epilogues would unavoidably show the MC and their chosen LI in a marriage that ends in divorce since "realistically" 40-50% of marriages end that way. But that's never going to happen, so repeatedly treating poly relationships in such a negative manner when the actual real life evidence doesn't suggest they should be would indicate that the monogamous paths are held in a privileged position comparatively.

In any case, you're right that it could take longer than Episode 12 to resolve things, especially if we have another 4 Episodes on Season 4 or something like that. I do think it could serve as a breaking point however, even if the results of that branching plays out over multiple episodes.

So I mighta skipped past the end of the box minigame cuz I was frustrated, was there a special render or something in it?
Click to expand...
I think it's 4 special renders. But yeah, it's only renders you get from it. There's a few guides to solving it floating around there too though if you want.

Hi guys, I'm having a problem with season 3. When I want to start a run, it always crashes at the same frame, this one exactly: The save is not modded and the game is completely clean. If someone could help me I would be very thankful.

Well, if you accept Zoey's confession that's likely going to put a stop to dating other people, including both Nicole and Lily. :whistle:

(ok ok probably not what you want either. i don't think there's any direct option, but Ep.12 might be shaking things up, relationships-wise. So there's always hope)

Maybe we get another chance to jump off when also on the Nora path? She does say that she might have a date with MC in the future if you refuse her because you already promised a date to Nicole.

Just got a flash while people are talking about the box (since I thought that was the thing Vinny was searching): What's the consensus on who was in MC room? Most likely Vinny still searching for something in particular? Or the other guy working for Buddy, since Vinny didn't want to get recognize AGAIN (I don't really think he care, but he probably doesn't want to be seen by Quinn, Tommy or Lily).

I know she's dumb, but Arieth reaction didn't seem like it was someone she knew, just someone she found hot (and she doesn't have high standard).

Maybe Chen being angry that MC didn't let him push more for the threesome.....?

So any early predictions on who's going to get the last spot? If Lily and Zoey are any indication, they both had significant swings in terms of their relationship with the MC, the only one comparable in my mind would be Quinn. While on her path, her feelings towards MC have become more prevalent over the season but it's tough to say where that relationship will given how things are left off.

I guess end of a "season" is a good shuffle point in general -- the previous "season" also effectively ended with Tremolo picking which relationship he's going to pursue. (if any) So he's had decent amount of time to give it a try and conclude how it's working out for him.
