did i do something wrong or something? like my character is engaged to cove, derek is set to 'fond' not 'crush' the game knows this. but i'm getting close to what is probably the end of the dlc and suddenly he wants to uproot his life for me!!!! he does say 'i know you're with cove' but i got the impression that it was implying we were roomates. and i picked the don't move option. but i really wanted to say something like 'you know we're just friends right? that i'm not interested in you like that, really sorry if what i did led you to that conclusion'

AND NOW in the car the game would like me to choose between 'telling people we're together now or waiting until we get the details worked out?!!??!

i know that sometimes some of the interactions might be construed as us liking derek and i feel like i always chose the least flirty option if all options seemed forward. but i assumed that some of the dialogue is just written that way because the intended way to play this would be romantically. i assumed the game mechanically would know that we were engaged to cove!  and so not interpret them that way.  especially since everywhere says you can run through it platonically 

i don't want to 'be' with derek. i just want to be a close supportive friend and marry my best boy cove!!!

What you say worries me knowing that I have no intention for my MC of dating Derek and that I was actually going to buy the dlc after reading that it could be just platonic... 

I really hope the devs respond to your comment with more explanation as to why the game thinks you're in a relationship with Derek when you're engaged to Cove.

yeah me too. if you're interested the baxter dlc didn't do this and i ran through platonically just fine (:

Oh, I see. Thank you for the info! :D

The game doesn't think you're in a romantic relationship with Derek when he wants to be where you are. This story is about Derek and prioritizing him. Whether it's platonic or romantic, the goal is to have him become a much bigger part of your life and to no longer have to be apart so much like you have been the past few years. I'm sorry that was more than you wanted, though it is the intended point of the story that Derek wants to be part of the MC's life and will make the effort/leap to try doing so. If you don't want him to be a really, really significant person to you, it is better not to play his epilogue instead of Cove's.

But the part about telling people you're together or not does sound like a bug. That line is meant to be only for the romantic version of the story. I'm sorry for that confusion with that!


Basically though, people who love Derek get to make him special. We didn't want to make those who cared about him disappointed by making it feel less meaningful than what you could have with Cove when doing Cove's story.

yeah no i get it. might even just be a me thing. i just felt like we'd spent so much time trying to get him to do what he wants and his immediate reaction is 'i want to be where you are!' was kind of scary for me. not really a big deal though and i wouldn't have been bothered by it if i hadn't hit that bug.  i'll try running through it again and hopefully avoid that.

bro just cheated on cove
