Mayor Lewis & Marnie Night Time Rendezvous BUSTED
POSSIBLE SPOILERS

I caught Mayor Lewis & Marnie having a secret nighttime rendezvous outside of his house and I wanted to know the repercussions of the choice given.

Normally, I want to make everyone happy so "keeping it a secret" seems friendlier, but his reasoning for keeping their relationship a secret is pointless...as if anyone in town would care if they dated each other. And being "out" would be much less stressful.

I Googled it and couldn't find a single thing, so I'm sharing my result. Lol

So I said "I'm going to tell everyone" thinking it would be a happy ending for everyone! Wrong! The mayor cried in my face and called me a horrible person. <tear>

But I spoke to him immediately after the cutscene and it was like nothing ever happened. We're still 10/10 and all is good in the world. As far as I know...

TL;DR

"I'll keep it a secret!" -- Mayor Happy
"I'll tell everyone!" -- Mayor Sad

Either way -- No major changes

That's almost identical to the relationship event that you get with Pierre. By the way, I never did figure out what the hell his secret stash was all about. Later on my husband bragged about Pierre growing stuff on his farm. Was that seriously the big secret, he's a closet farmer?

The Mayor is such an a$$ to her in that scene. Such a lame excuse, poor Marnie

This game has a few of those weird scenes that just lead to absolutely nothing. Pierre's stash being another one. As well as the 'invited over for dinner' one from Jodi. And some heart events like the thrilling 'opening a jar for Harley' scene.

I didn't get the point of any of those scenes at all. They add literally nothing.

I always figured it was porn of some kind, as one of the choices is about advising him to tell his wife about it.

Has anyone seen Demetrius in one of those pink flowered shrubs near the playground? I walked to the fountain from the east and saw him there with a ? over his head and he ran to the fountain.

I saw something like that, yes. Always assumed he was studying the local flora, as he seems to be some sort of bothanist/biologist.

It adds immersion, you get to know the chars better, see them diferently, in different situations than just talking to them in their daily routines, it makes the game feel more alive.

Also in that scene i chose to keep it secret, mayor just goes like "Thanks, ill never forget it"

Thing is, they don't really do that I feel. The dinner at Jody for example. It sets itself up as a scene that leads to some character development for Jodi, Sam and Vincent. Instead the scene kinda blacks out after 3-4 lines and you're outside again.

After the Egg Festival, I went back into the town center around 10-11pm and found the homeless dude going through the wheelchair dudes trash. Wheelchair dude thought it was raccoons, asks me to scare them off, homeless dude is like "Please don't say anything, I just don't want good food to go to waste"; gives you several choices (I chose the positive one), he swears he'll never go in wheelchair guys trash again and says I can say I scared them off.

He then goes to the bar trash, bar owner catches him, awkwardness, then bar owner is all "Bro I don't want to see anyone in town hungry, have these *Gives him basket of eggplant fritters or something* ", tells him to use the spicy marinara and to ask him if he ever needs food.

Weed, maybe?

Also Mayor's shorts were in Marnie's house.. After you give it to him, he says he has no way how they got there, then said this stays between me and you.

I know I'm bringing an old thread back from the dead but I am just playing this game on PS4. I honestly lost all respect for that fker after this, he's a AAA a.hole and Marnie can do so much better -_-

He's an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ for dating someone his age?

Sure.

Whatever.

man has only one reason to keep it secret. so he doesn't lose his other wife.

Unless marnie is married.

where did Jas come from?

Neither of them are married. Jas isn't related to Marnie at all. Jas was the daughter of Shane's friends who passed away, he was named her godfather, and Marnie is his Aunt.

The reason Lewis doesn't want it getting out, at least the reason he gives is that it would undermine his job. He is the mayor and part of his job is working with the local bussiness owners and making any potential official town decisions that might affect them one way or the other. If it came out that he was sleeping with one of said business owners that could be viewed as bias and create the belief that he might be giving her preferential treatment as far his offical duties as mayor goes.

Except it is a thing. Like how Lewis makes rounds among the local business' or how he sells your goods for you in the middle of the night (which logically speaking he would do for everyone). It's pretty clear that being mayor has responsibilities even if we don't see them. Plus there's no way you are the only business they get as if that was the case they would have gone out of business well before you arrived. It only appears like you are their only business due to the technical/time limitations of having a one person developer making the game on his own.

It is kind of weird how few businesses there are and how their performances are very uneven.


Pierre not only maintains a shop that stays open 6 or 7 days a week despite not selling anything that needs restocking often (basic cooking ingredients), he's also a farmer who grows produce. Who knows how that's even possible. And why the produce doesn't show up in his shop's inventory. Or where he grows it. It would make more sense if Caroline managed the small shop while he farmed, but apparently that's not how it works.

Marnie raises animals; at the very least, she's got lots of chickens, some goats and some cows. However, she never sells any animal products, only equipment that would be used by competitors. It's like owning a pancake restaurant that produces pancakes but doesn't sell the pancakes and instead sells pancake-making equipement so that people don't need to buy pancakes from a restaurant. It's completely insane.

The Saloon is the only place that should honestly make a decent amount of gold given how heavily frequented it is and how expensive the stuff is.

Willy sells fishing equipment, but not a lot of villagers fish and they probably don't buy a lot of stuff at his shop. Presumably he makes his living selling the fish that he catches, but again, none ever appear in his shop's inventory.

Clint opens geodes and upgrades farming tools. He doesn't offer smelting services but instead gives furnace blueprints to people. He must not get a whole lot of business.

Robin's a carpenter. Not sure how much business she gets.

Harvey's clinic looks like it barely ever has any business besides annual check-ups. He's lucky there are only 112 days in a year.

Somehow these people manage to pay enough taxes to fund a library and museum.

Basically, this town was designed by a crazy person.
