Just keep your fingers crossed that your chosen one survives until the end of the game. :P

Scuse me what

Some of Dr PinkCake's previous main girls have been known to meet a, how would we put it mildly?, er, an unfortunate ending. Also, if you have noticed it, a girl has already disappeared from the story in BaD and another girl is being stalked by a misterious blue van.

This all should be taken with a grain of salt, of course, BaD is said to be based on American college comedies, and while some random corpse being hauled up and down wouldn't be beyond the scope of those films, usually main characters aren't supposed to die.

Mind you, those who are d.icks on those comedies usually end up getting some payback for their misdemeanours, so there's that. Using some caution in your choices sounds like sound advice.

Edit: Also, it should be noted that the complete game will have 4 sessions, while only 2 have been released on Steam so far, so there's still plenty of story being developed as we speak.

Maya or Jill may decide they like bad boys and suddenly being PermaDIK isn't an impediment. Riona finds Jesus and now won't do anything unless she has a ring on her finger.
Who knows where future seasons will end up?

That would need quite a stretch of imagination. Probably we would need a 5th season (which sadly won't be happening). :P

But in regard to both Maya and Jill, also following patterns of comedic films, I keep on hoping they will give the MC a second chance even after they rejected him in seasons 1 & 2, provided the MC fits their other criteria, that is. It would be the classic romantic story: boy-meets-girl followed by quarrel and misunderstandings, then boy-loses-girl; but they finally would meet again because love always wins and they would get a happy ending.

Granted, this may never happen because nothing in the story seems to lead that way (except the intuition that they are actually in love with him and just supressing their feelings). It even seems unlikely, but one can always hope. :)

Not only does it lock you out of pursuing the rest of them, but the one you pick forces you to choose one of the others you didn't pick for a sacrificial ritual to help her pass the final exam in school.

good one. I yoinking this.

Basically, yes. If you choose a specific girl you will be considered in a commited relationship with her and it will exclude all other main girls. There might be possibility to cheat in future seasons though, most probably with secondary girls, but remember that in this game, every choices have their consequences and they can blow in your face at the least expected moment.

If you choose "Others", you won't be in any relationship, but unless Dr. PinkCake has planned for other occasions to get with them in later seasons, the main girls are no longer availlable outside of being your friends. However, you will most certainly be able to date or have sexual encounters with secondary girls in future seasons which might, who knows, become possible commited relationships. Don't expect to have as many scenes as with the main girls though.

I've always considered Elena's breakfast scene as a veiled tutorial for BaD. In this discussion, she explains to MC that it was basically OK to fool around without consequence prior to committing to a relationship (or when choosing "OTHERS"), but that there would be significant consequences for that behavior from that point forward.

I believe this "sea change" occurs at this point in the story, and penalties for cheating on your commitment will be severe. I'm thinking you can avoid or postpone this change by choosing the "OTHERS" option at Elena's breakfast.

Not always, if you are in Maya/Josy path or Jill's path (succeeded being invited to dine with her friends), the Other's path choice is not available.

Yeah, I hated it that there was no way for nobody to die. I have no problems with people dying in an AVN, but I would like there to also be a route (no matter how difficult to get) where nobody dies (or the baddie at most, but I would also like to save them).
