This game has officially entered 'time waster'. If it updates, great. If not, no big loss. It's so overly bloated at this point, and the quality suffers. with all the 4090 cards, you would think that DPC could illustrate a pair of yoga pants ripping that doesn't look like it's made of literal paper mache.

It officially crossed over the "time wasting" territory when DPC locked the sage scene to a select choice of not even flirting with jade back in episode 3 (sage being on DIK path no less). I finally broke down and just used the cheat mod, because that's completely asinine. If his expectation to justify a yearlong update is for you to go all the way back to episode 3 to replay to get a specific scene now, that's f**cked. It's already a chore to get through the SAME storyline, same math answers, english scrabble, to grab the few extra scenes. with regards to the overarching storyline, not much changes? no matter which LI path you're on? I understand DPC is only one person, but there's really no point in cycling through the same 500 scenes just to get a couple off the path sex scenes. It's not a meaningful change in experience, and it's just tedious and repetitive. It's just not worth it. Is there even any penalty/reward for not failing tests anymore? I don't notice any change.

Not the mention the drop in the quality of the scenes aren't really worth it either? I really don't like DPC's recent trend of having YOU pick the sex position to go back to, and when you want to "cum". Just kinda kills the immersion. I went back and replayed a sage sex scene (from season 1 ep 2or 3?) at the DIK/HOT party outside and the animation, shots and pacing of the scene was 1000x better than the recent sex scenes that have supposedly have beefed up quality renders etc.

The story has had glacial movement, instead DPC is focused on introducing new characters to an already bloated cast of girls. It shouldn't take a year+ to write a fairly obvious story on a college guy trying to fuck girls on campus, and a drug scandal that's been teased since episode 1. I haven't noticed any QoL since like episode 6 or 7, and i think DPC was releasing updates every couple of months, not years.
I don't disagree with most of that... the game has gotten quite repetitive, starting from mid-S2 but specifically in S3, it's feeling more like a chore to play than fun at this point.

I would also add that so far S3 has been pretty directionless in terms of plot... or rather, there's no clear story arc to it, like there was in S1 and 2, it's just been a jumbled mess of advancing a lot of side plots without a cohesive plot to glue it all together.

And yeah, the year+ waiting periods are definitely not helping it feel "worth it" at the end of the day... yes I know there's a lot of content per update, but it's the combination of the repetitivness and the tediousness that's kinda slowly killing it for me... =/

Is Lily, Nicole and Nora mutual exclusive to each other in an "others path"?

Like if I roll with Lily I can't date Nicole and if I go see Nora I can't date Nicole?
yeah, although I think you can still do Lily / Nora... so it's more Nicole that's mutally exclusive with the other two... but basically what you said, yes.

So far it seems you're pretty screwed if you want to have Lily together with other side girls. Not only is she exclusive with Nicole, but you're also missing a bit of semi-important character development with Quinn if you share her route with Lily.

Looking at these two, it seems likely rolling with Lily will cause for more friction with other side girls in the future.

Even worse. When Bella developed a crush on MC, Jill/MC started dating and explored each other, now that they are in a full-scale fledged relationship, it makes the situation even worse. So for me, subjectively, Bianca is acting worse than Bella (doesn't remove the blame from MC at all for all mess)
we are really close

they are both 2 betrayals driven mainly by lust, by desire, Bianca has the excuse of the shock of betrayal (if Jill is there then it has come out) and Bella a more generic shock not yet fully understood. i'm not so sure that the different phase of the relationship tips the bialncia so much in Bella's favour, if anything it increases MC's blame in Bianca's case. Bella risks not having that relationship at all, while Bianca puts her to the test, MC has many reasons to say no to Bianca, much less to say no to Bella (even considering that the first part of their story is not that thoughtful, but rather chaotic)

Bella taking Mc home with her after the tennis match against Tybalt is not a great moment of female solidarity

Well... she made a right choice once to get close with Sage.

well I mean, yeah, she's probably getting a dedicated route in the future... but like, at the moment you're kinda hard-locked just with Nicole...

Or she's just a trap to fuck up other side girls and you end up with nobody if you keep on following Lily :KEK:

I generally try to be softer on Bella also because I don't fully understand her, what drives her and what she's been through before, and whether that can fully justify her or not: Bella is still a woman of mystery with unknown baggage until Episode 12.
But overall it's a good statement, MC is a rotten cunt here playing with Bianca, and Bianca is a snake who betrays her friend and is also a hypocrite.

Female solidarity, thing that is exist, 100% info. :KEK:
Sorry, can't resist.

let's hope she keeps the intention...
She can teach Jill a lot about life, Bianca failed her job at socializing Jill. Although Jill is already doing well as their relationship with MC develops... The main thing is that Sage doesn't mention to Jill that she jumped on MC's dick too..oops.

Not really. Josy's willing to do almost anything to be with MC. Especially DIK MC can be evil enough to use this threesome as a bargaining chip to "force" Josy into it (if she's not that willing herself) :devilish:
Naah I think Josy learned her lesson about sharing. If you're with Josy, you're only with Josy.

More of a spineless guy from what I've seen recently. Guy couldn't even be bothered to give Fuckface a heads up when Tommy "borrowed" money from the party planning budget.
I think he explained why he did it. Anyway, so far they have not had a full-fledged conversation on this topic.

Is it worth playing 11 now or should I wait for 12 and season 3 or steam? Any information about the timeline? I suspect that DPC sees the dollar signs from the upcoming steam release so it would make sense that he works harder to get the final episode done

Bianca I give the benefit of the doubt because I imagine both of the sexy interactions were influenced by alcohol and she's even acknowledged what she was doing was fucked up whereas Bella has no such excuse.
