Cheating never happens, Madison isn’t even interested in the guy, people are just paranoid

Some people have their own perception of cheating LOL. In some cases, they can’t even stand their partners looking at someone funny.

This is, however, with the caveat that I’m using all three challenges, though. I feel like focusing more on raising most skills to above 50 early on isn’t a bad idea, especially since you get plenty of chances to increase them, whether after falling asleep and getting extra points, or training with other survivors later on

So, my guess is that you either use meditation or listening to music, along with reading as hobbies if my teenage calculations are correct?

Yep, I have delusions, so I want that maxed out willpower to minimize the damage, and I want a full five points during skill upgrades in chapters one and two

The thing I don’t like about delusions, is the fact that when you go to Fred’s house for example, your character gets an episode and runs away before they can scavenge the place. I’ll see if I can prevent that from happening.
65 willpower is enough to minimize almost all the damage from delusions, and I think there’s at least one check for 70, which is why I did it like that. Ray is obnoxious and it’s not fun with the group wondering if you’re a little nuts, but having willpower that high means I don’t miss out on any important content or resources

I don’t know that Maddie cheats on MC, but I have read more than one line that makes me question if she COULD be cheating. Going to put things from my MCs perspective from here. The reasons I don’t think she’s cheating are she’s borderline clingy with a high relationship (I pretty exclusively rock the 90-95 relationship range with her), and she gets super upset if MC has a high body count (sexual partners, not people killed). Reasons I have suspicions:1 before the Lancelot run, she “didn’t sleep in your bed the night before”, where did she sleep? 2 before the ST run, after she kisses you she says “It’s always easy with you.” compared to who else. Then she goes to the house, what reason does she have to go there, It’s got my spider sense tingling. Ultimately, I doubt she is cheating, Kevin is a downgrade on the MC, in literally every way. My MC is group leader, and has put Kev in his places at least twice. Both times in front of Maddie. My MC is a post apocalyptic badass, Kevin’s out of junkyard trips have ended up with him almost running away at the first sign of the railyard sniper, not something I think Maddie would find appealing, and being kidnapped, definitely not something that makes Kevin look like a real survivor. A girl with a personality like Maddie, might pity Kevin, but she’d most likely never be with him, because pity is the antithesis of lust.

Maddie aside, anyone would be stupid to cheat on the MC, because the MC can literally do everything and look good while doing it. However, I do find the idea of dating a woman that cheats the stuff out of the MC interesting, but I can see why authors would rather not write such a character lol. Perhaps a compromise could be made when relationship stats doesn’t meet a certain requirement?

I wonder if there’s another existing game besides Choice of romance, where the MC can date a cheater?
Exactly what I was saying, boss. On all fronts. If it’s a situation where cheating is a possibility, relationship stats should come into play.
Also, I think it would be pretty hard to carry on any kind of secret affair at the junkyard. Even the nephew knows all about every relationship in the junkyard, even if he doesn’t grasp some of the details. The whole group knows if MC and Madison are together, and someone would talk if they saw something. Brody and Kevin are close, as well, there’s no doubt Brody would tell Kevin that MC and Maddie were well on the way to happening before the world ended, and Maddie lost everyone she knew, except Brody and MC.

Just give me a proper harem or a proper agreement to have an open relationship and we good.
Granted I always hook up with Jillian for this main reason. Shes down for sharing and casual fun with others. Now if only I could get Rachel/Maddie into this… Don’t much care for Bailey. Kelly… I could see as a maybe. Gina is a given so can’t count her.

To each their own. In my experience with those kind of situations, someone always ends up hurt. Usually someone is everyone. Again, just my experience. One of the things I like best is hearing how others reacted in comparison to my own choices. Mostly because I can never make myself make decisions in these games contrary to what I’d do. LOL

Fair, then again I’m all about free love and sharing the love. Naturally, there will be chaos, jealousy, bitterness, but with a high enough persuasion I can probably make it work.

That would be a nightmare to implement; you couldn’t pay me anything to even try

I really like that about the MC in this game. You can play them as a beast while looking cool as hell. cool, calm, collected. Anybody who cheats on basically a walking death machine is crazy.
