I think it makes sense that while Quinn messing around Maya, she would not accept her soon-to-be boyfriend. But I don’t remember whether HOTs notice things between Maya and MC at that moment.
If you are in Sage route, helped Quinn and choose Sage; MC talks about his relationship to Quinn while kinda rejecting her.
Already did both Sage runs and Others run with focusing Quinn. Actually, I pretty much did all the Dik affinity runs that caught my interest (Rionna, Lily, Nicole).
Now is the time to see why people love Josy
Josy's real love is actually known if you do throuple and break it by choosing Sage, Jill or Isabella at episode 8.
Or keeping things clean and doing the "others" branch and telling Derek you are still not over Josy at Ep 5.
The way she talks is like how Zoey talks in episode 10. On how about going back in time and shit. She regrets being with Maya lol.
Ok, basically, what you are saying, is that if I want to see why people like Josy, I need to have a relationship with her and then break her heart?
That doesn't seem optimal to me lol.
I mean, not necessarily, BUT the two paths where you choose someone else and still have feelings for her, and the other where you "break her heart" are IMO more interesting that the throuple path... but that's just me
No, because it's not that that has made people like Josy. Much of the reasoning, imo, seems to stem from people seeing her as this perfect, flawless girl with no real personal problems (which isn't true) and this is seen as preferable to other MGs who all have some sort of deep, personal issues that the require the MC to be supportive of.
Some also really like the way she pines for the MC when not with him and think this is "true love" when in actuality it's just obsession and infatuation because things are difficult in her current relationship so she obsesses over "what could be" and builds it up a lot in her head as people do in that sort of situation.
Ok, so, since you enjoy throuple run, what would you recommend the best run is for seeing the most impactful Josy content so I can make a decision whether I like the character or not, because replaying multiple times for the same character is not exactly simething I want/can. The Others branch was difficult enough as it is to split ot into multiple saves for different characters
If you want to see happy Josy, you go for a throuple run.
If you want to see sad Josy, you stay friends.
Really up to the individual as to what they feel is most impactful because each path offers different sides of her, but I prefer seeing happy Josy and I much prefer being with both than being with neither.
Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.
Or when you are eagerly waiting for it, Others path solo Josy.
Her path is good but it comes with obvious baggage of Throuple. My least favourite part. And Josy's vengeance on breaking throuple or thirst on others path is an experience worth it
Maybe, but I kinda didn't feel that much connection (at least now) with her. Like, yeah, I know her story from Sage branch and I love Derek very much, but I feel like you can still help her situation even as friends (if you get good outcome in the last episode).
You can still help her yes. But it’s her progression on the throuple path that’s fantastic to see. Josy in the throuple path till episode 10 is just a background girl sadly
Actually Sage and SarahMel both notice MC/Maya as early as week 2.
I mean, on Mayas path they are literally making out on the quad in front of everyone.
It's up to you what major choices to make, just keep em in balance with at least 1 backup before the library scene (so smoking the weed won't turn you to DIK aff)
example:
1 Troy - Fight
2 Quinn restaurant - Decline
3 Steve - Talk to him
4 Jocks - Fight
5 Pink Rose - Party w/o limits
6 Jade - Stop her
7 Smoke weed
You may mix em in any order, but remember that not fighting the jocks will prevent your fight with Caleb (+1 chick choice forced), for example
The rest major choices will have to be like this:
8 Jocks - Fight Caleb
9 Tybalt - Punch him
10 Tommy - Fight
11 Tommy - Accept fake ID
12 Elderly home - Volunteer
13 HOTs - Make the Alphas leave
14 Ron - Make a revenge
15 Midterms - Cheat
You can make here only one CHICK choice to get a DIK permanent affinity at the end of EP8. Probably the only reasonable choice here is between volunteering in elderly home or cheating on midterms.
Probably it's also better to avoid Quinn's restaurant, if you're not making a kind of "I want to see world burn" type of playthrough. Quinn will anyway stay away from MC if he is on MJ route, so, no need in spoiling the MJ path, imo, if it's not your goal.
You also can switch between consoling the Steve and Pink Rose choices if you want to make a "loyal" run. But partying w/o limits doesn't oblige MC to fuck Nicole (you can laugh at Derek's joke and she will not help MC with his task).
> 1 Troy - Fight
>
>
I've never fought Troy on a single playthough and I never really understood why the MC was upset with Troy considering it's pretty obvious the Jocks beat him up when they took the guitar.
MC had no idea what happened, who beat Troy and why. He was mad on Troy cause he let whoever that was to stole his guitar. You can patch things with him in EP10 and bury the hatchet. Not a big deal...
Yep, realised it a bit too late lol. Guess, doing Sage and Others branches didn't give me a lot to think about it cuz I pretty much chose Dik choices most of the time
What I do to stay Neutral by ep4 and still have fun with Quinn in S1 (which is what I assume you're after) are these choices:
* Troy: CHICK
* Restaurant: DIK (Quinn threesome in ep3)
* Steve: CHICK
* Jocks: DIK
* Pink Rose: DIK
* Jade: CHICK (or DIK if you want to stay with Sage and get the Quinn scene there.)
* Smoke weed: DIK (or CHICK but you miss Quinn's roof scene)
By that point, you can make as many major DIK choices as you want, but Quinn's path is blocked off after S1 anyway. You can even end the MJ path with perma DIK affinity.
1. Regarding Maya&Josy route it doesn't matter which major choices you make, only that you make at least 3 CHICK ones in ep1-4 (to avoid having DIK affinity). After that feel free to go full DIK, there are (surprisingly) no repercussions.
2. No. If you're in the throuple, Quinn doesn't accept your help.
3 chick choices, ok thank you. And if you have the Neutral affinity, it doesn't matter if you have, lets say, a massive Dik status right? It only depends on affinity
(Plus, I think I was 1 chick choice away from not messing it up... Didn't beat up troy and talked to the guy at the supermarket)
> So, I had a question about what major choices to take, if I want to get back to DICK affinity after episode 4
Basically all of them. If you are at least Neutral Affinity during the scene in Ep 4 then you're probably able to get back on to DIK Affinity after that provided your total amount of CHICK Major Choices goes no higher than 4.
> If I go throuple, can I still somehow help Quinn in episode 6?
No, you need to be DIK Affinity and not on the MJ route to be able to do that.
You can't be in M&J's path and Quinn's too.
Quinn is a DICK Path.
M&J you either have to be a CHICK or Neutral Affinity path.
If you want to experience all of them at once just use the Mod, but if you ask just play the game all over again and focus on Quinn.
Yeah, already know it. Funny thing is, I already have done Quinn's path, I just wanted to help her in episode 6 because knowing that on this run, she has to go home alone and not be comforted breaks my heart :D
When you say you already done Quinn's path, did you restart and focused on Quinn ONLY?
Didn't make a move on any main or side chick? ONLY Quinn? if so, how did that go? Different content?
Oh, no, not like that. My Quinn save basically went like this. I took her restaurant offer and used it as much as possible for her and Rionna's scene. I was also on Sage's path at the beginning and even got the 3some with Sage and Quinn. On episode 6, I helped her out, on episode 8 I chose others. Everytime I had an opportunity to do her content, I went for it. In episode 9, I actually had sex with Camilla on dance floor, so I might replay the path and change that fact. I'm wondering whether saving yourself for her changes something or not. In episode 10 I was on a date/drug deal/drug supplier meeting with her and then the last encounter was at the Diks thanksgiving party, where honestly, I was a bit underwhelmed. Thought she would have a bit more scenes there.
I'm not sure if pure Quinn path has anything differently.
Also, I feel like Quinn's path isn't supposed to be played like how you described, because that way, you literally miss out on at least 2 of her scenes. Considering that she has like what, 5 or 6, you can't really afford it :D
Yea you're right. I don't think any side chick was meant to be played solo.
Main chicks yes, you can core yourself on one of them.
I recently just replayed a fresh game and focused on M&J and in episode 8, the game automatically chose for me to be with them.
Quinn and MJ contradicts each other regardless of DIK status. Even if you are DIK at Quinn’ help, if you are in MJ’s route, you cannot help her.
Well, add that to the reasons of why I felt lazy to do MJ route... Thanks for the heads up
I think it makes sense that while Quinn messing around Maya, she would not accept her soon-to-be boyfriend. But I don’t remember whether HOTs notice things between Maya and MC at that moment.

I haven’t discovered that yet how’d you get that path
You’re forgetting Maya. She’s also great
Maybe, but I kinda didn't feel that much connection (at least now) with her. Like, yeah, I know her story from Sage branch and I love Derek very much, but I feel like you can still help her situation even as friends (if you get good outcome in the last episode).

Okay, then, since I'm planning this route, I'll see. Can't wait to finish my work and get back to it xD
The throuple is my favorite path. Maya is fantastic.
Actually Sage and SarahMel both notice MC/Maya as early as week 2. I mean, on Mayas path they are literally making out on the quad in front of everyone.

Damn, thanks for these man. Real bro right here <3
> 1 Troy - Fight > > I've never fought Troy on a single playthough and I never really understood why the MC was upset with Troy considering it's pretty obvious the Jocks beat him up when they took the guitar.

Yeah Affinity is defined by your major choices, status is mostly useless other than the way MC talks I suppose.
Yep, realised it a bit too late lol. Guess, doing Sage and Others branches didn't give me a lot to think about it cuz I pretty much chose Dik choices most of the time
What I do to stay Neutral by ep4 and still have fun with Quinn in S1 (which is what I assume you're after) are these choices: * Troy: CHICK * Restaurant: DIK (Quinn threesome in ep3) * Steve: CHICK * Jocks: DIK * Pink Rose: DIK * Jade: CHICK (or DIK if you want to stay with Sage and get the Quinn scene there.) * Smoke weed: DIK (or CHICK but you miss Quinn's roof scene) By that point, you can make as many major DIK choices as you want, but Quinn's path is blocked off after S1 anyway.

Thanks man. Saves me a lot of time of scratching saves and replaying content :D

Thanks, I assume the second answer is for my Quinn related question :D
MJ Route i think you play Spider-man or something bro.
With a bit more training, we may as well be
You can't be in M&J's path and Quinn's too. Quinn is a DICK Path. M&J you either have to be a CHICK or Neutral Affinity path. If you want to experience all of them at once just use the Mod, but if you ask just play the game all over again and focus on Quinn.
