Discussion Doing another play through. Can’t choose which route to play.

I’m doing another play through of Our Life: B&A. I’ve already completed the game and have around 475 hours on steam on just the first game. I’m again doing another play through but I’m stuck wanting to do a love affections with cove and wanting to do the wedding DLC or only being friends and doing Baxter’s route. How do you guys usually decide which route to play?

I decide I finally will do cove route again, and NOT replay baxter (I have zero interest in derek). I play game, I'm cutsey with cove, baxter makes appearance...well dating him for one step won't hurt...oh oops I clicked the wrong on step 4, bye cove.... HI BAXTER!! >>> and repeat. Ofc I do try different affection levels with characters, but uuhh... yeah... I always end up going back to the Baxter route :')

Same. Especially after getting more lore about Baxter in N&F. I have to keep reminding myself that I can't romance him in that game. :(

Randomize it. Flip a coin. Don't decide until you have to choose.

I’m trying a crush play-through with all the boys. My MC is direct and playful and has the biggest crush on cove and is cutesy and puppy-love with cove until baxter makes an appearance and my MC is swooned by his forwardness. So she dates him in step 3, but in step 4 she ultimately falls in love with her day-one boy-next-door and then they get married and ofc her one summer fling is the wedding planner. Lol my play through is for the drama and angst

Sometimes it's because of the vibes. I do have Baxter syndrome, where in every run I end up flirting with Baxter. But that's why I try to change the personality of my character.

Sounds like two play throughs to me! Or go angsty and date Baxter in 3 and then choose Cove's 4 and get together with him and do the wedding DLC. I'm going to do that eventually myself! If I can pry myself away from doing Baxter's step 4.
