Go for Jill or go for all the others

This is basically what the game asks you. You start college life and get overwhelmed by so much fun, parties and hot chicks. The game introduces you to several girls, one after the other, one even hotter than the other. You start connecting and banging every girl, and since you care for everyone and every girl, most girls (and brothers) start to notice you and like you more and more as the story advances. You're a giver, and they all take and appreciate it. All girls start feeling something for MC (even Quinn... she's a badass to everyone, but always turns soft on him), and this obviously starts affecting MC's mind. He's the truly one that will get hurt on this path.

But then... comes Jill, an outsider, someone really outside this messy loop, and someone that does the opposite... instead of being chased, she is chasing MC from the start. That bullying and the bed scene sealed the deal for her (really, see that scene with the ♥♥♥ helmet, hilarious). MC is the bad boy she needs and always wanted, he has all she needs to be whole. Even more and she sees so much of her in himself. Their paths are only different based on the conditions they had, They come from grief, from family drama, but Jill lived in a bubble, a bubble she never wanted but that protected her all these years. MC lived outside this bubble and had to overcome the hardness of life. Even with so many differences they both ended up good persons that care for others more than for themselves. Life shaped their personalities differently but as matching complementing souls.

I too had a similar experience. Of course you don't bang every girl at the same time IRL, but I had my dose of college fun, and yes with different choices, maybe I got even more fun, I would win some but obviously lose some also. But there were too much offers, too much "paths" in my head... I guess that's normal with that age... but the point is... with all the mess and doubts, someone outside caught my attention and won my heart, when I was trying to win others... and suddenly all that fun and possibilities seemed pointless and not enough anymore. I had a lot, lot of friends in college, yet it was someone I didn't know that caught me and showed me the way. It came as a surprise for many, and I laughed with that Derek comment "thank you, but who da f... are you?" :D

Jill wouldn't need to be this awesome to win MC's heart, I mean... the piano and being rich, weren't even needed. She's the outsider that caughts him off guard, he's chasing something or everything, and doesn't notice that he's being chased, and by someone he was not even considering and is not part of the "party bubble".

Jill is like when you play fifa or pes and create a 99 player. That's how it feels when she "lands" on this game. It really is game over for everyone else.

You start with Josy and all seems set to end up with her. She's cute and lovely, but then you move to college and think this will be another thing like most of these games, that you can bang a lot of girls, but have to feel bad for a girlfriend. But that's not the real problem, the problem is Maya. Maya is fine, a good choice, but not as good as Josy, not close, and suddenly to be with Josy you have to be with Maya also... meh. A lot of games have that trio path, but this one is heavy and doesn't feel right. We needed a Josy solo path. MC or Maya, and that could solve all Maya's problems as well.

Once that route is over, you end up with Sage or Quinn. Sage is awesome, but she's wasting the luck she had with MC. She still has the dumb Chad on her mind, and can't see properly MC, and certainly not fast enough to catch him before Jill. Without Jill, she would be the perfect storyline though.

Quinn... WTF??!?? Why is she not a possible main path??? They already cheated including Jill, so why not Quinn? Quinn even makes more sense with Jill included, it's like the light and the dark side. And Quinn is just awesome and she's falling for the MC, and maybe from the start. She plays badass, but she wants him as soon as she sees him, and he's personality wins her fast, even if she tries to hide it. She's definitely not cool seeing him with others. I mean, she's ok when he buys from her services, and fools around with others, but hates when it seems more than that. Not having a Quinn path is real mistake in this game. I would love to see that story, we know something is happening, with Vinny, drugs and stuff, we'll probably help her in season 3, but we needed to reach that with feelings between Quinn and MC and see how that would play out.

Bella... Bella is awesome. I dunno what happened to her husband, got a really creappy feeling regarding that and the locked room... that would really change the mood in this game :D But talking about Bella has a choice... I dunno. Makes no sense to chose her over Jill, and Bella to me feels like Jade if she lived alone and got her issues. Jade would also go all soft and caring for the MC easily.

Lilly... I don't know if we could have a lilly's path, but I find her fun and, hot and not much else. She's a fun f... doll. But... I would really love a Nicole path!!! Please, more Nicole! :D

The real issue with other paths than Jill, is turning her down. It feels unreal. Should I really ignore her surprise and go to Sage? Come on.... that would never happen.

Two things trouble me with Jill path though... how come stealing her money was not an issue? Tybalt would instantly connect that to MC and end our hopes. Also... how come we don't use Tybalt's watermelon against him? We all saw what he did to it...

There are 5 main paths: Maya&Josy, Sage, Bella, Jill and others. Not two. Quinn is not a main girl. And Jill isn't nearly as awesome as you picture her to be.

In the eye of the beholder. One can make statements about any of the main girls. Some may not like Josy or Maya, while others may not like Sage or Bella. To say that Jill "isn't nearly as awesome as you picture her to be" is quite subjective.

I personally don't care for Sage, others would disagree.

Sage is the girl that appeals to me.

Ziturco I agree with all that you said except about Maya&Josy. I feel the opposite about Josy, yes she is cute and lovely, but I just didn't see that spark between the MC and her. I feel that a friendship path is much better with her than a romantic one. As for Maya I feel the same, but I also can see why most people don't like her and I guess that's because I can relate, to a certain degree, with her problems and personality.

Every since I brought both seasons of BaD I always see people speculating on what happend between Bella and her husband, and most people seem to agree with you that is something on the darker side lol, but I like to keep my options open and think outside of the box. Sure the way she's been presented to us makes it sound like she does have a dark secret, but I like to think is more like Bella and her husband were trying to have a baby, but for some reason she couldn't get pregnant and so that brought a lot of issues between them. Another theory of mine is that her husband cheated on her (there's a scene where she says something like this: "Oh James I forgive you, come home soon, it's been too long now".) The possibilities for why Bella's husband is no longer in the picture are endless.

Also, I agree that there are times where we are forced to choose betwwen Jill and another character and that makes me a little sad, 'cause I love Jill. And finally (lol) I also want more Nicole, and I wish that in the future she could become one of the main girls.

Chaotic_Human, imagine if Bella is pregnant of MC in season 3, and her husband returns... Jill would be a trap, and most of us fell! :D Many had to replay and make different choices to be able to choose Jill in the end... imagine if in season 3 they tell us we can't... :S

I think Josy story was a bit rushed. They're supposed to be working and relating for the past 4 months, but it felt like a one week, not so close relationship. I liked that their crush only resulted in something when he was about to leave... that makes sense, but not the rest. If those two worked together for the last 4 months, they would be close friends, MC would already know about Maya, and him leaving would be what would spark something between them, realizing they would miss each other and that maybe that was more between them than just friendship.

Maya doesn't make sense in my head. Although Josy can like boys and girls, or is just confused for feeling something over a boy... Maya cannot be on the same page, not possible. Maya is not into boys, and that was a major problem between her and her father. She lost everything chasing a girl, she had never been with a boy, and we don't see any indication she might like boys as well. But suddenly, a couple of interations with MC and she's already considering cheating Josy with a boy? Too forced, just to add a trio path.

I would prefer a Josy solo path, and having to choose between being friends of both, or chase Josy and lose Maya as a friend... and maybe lose Derek... :S would suck, but would make more sense.

As for Nicole, it's weird that we get swiper, we get girls having sex for money, we get drug drama involving Quinn, we get strippers and a strip bar, we get Vinny, Tommy and whatever is happening in the background... yet, we don't get a main relationship that matters in all that. A big part of the story is not yet told but already feels irrelevant if we don't have a main character relationship connecting that. Quinn got so much content and evolution, she really lets her guard down and feels so good and relaxed with MC... I feel cheated for not being able to choose her.

Quinn needs 2 things in my opinion, she needs to let MC in, I know it would diverge from the main storyline and would need more work than just following a straight line storyline with just small changes, but would be real, and maybe sad and cruel, but I would like to see and make choices in her path. Another thing she needs is to care about one of the Hots. Maybe she cares about Sage... I don't know, I don't even know if Sage knows about Quinn's activities... probably not, but MC is not being completely honest with Sage by hiding that, and Sage is all about honesty. Would be nice if that HOT she cared about was Josy. If Josy wants to learn more about the HOTs and the free tuition, and Quinn tries to keep her away to protect her and not herself. Also would be a great trigger for Tommy. Tommy is the only bad ♥♥♥. He needs the DIKs and he needs to be in charge. He is selfish and jealous of MC. They all say that in the end he comes through and is a good guy, but let's face it, in the end, he needs them. It would be great to see if he really cares about Josy. If he doesn't want Josy in his world to protect her, or because he just feels ashamed of doing some things around her.

The main girls are the main girls because they are always part of MCs story. They are always his friends. You can skip the side girls easily therefore they won't become MGs. Quinn is an antagonist in the game so she won't become an MG either
