Is Joseph just going to be the OP of every Dream Daddy thread? Not that I'm complaining.
>>3121843
He makes such a nice first impression for threads.
>>3121843
well he's kinda the "face" of the game given how he's in the center in the promo pic and he's the first dad your character meets, as well as leading the bbq that introduces you to everyone who you can date. he's kinda the main character to me, given how fleshed out his story is and how he's intertwined with others so much. robert's probably next after him.
>>3121850
Isn't Mat the first dad you meet?
>>3121913
The first dad you meet can either be Joseph, Mat, or Brian depending on what you pick when you first get to your new house.
Is it 100% confirmed that Robert and Joseph had a relationship? I saw a video of the scene with Robert meeting with MC on the 3rd Joseph Date, but not the scenes afterwards that apparently go into that. And in my own game I had slept with Robert on the first night so I couldn't get these scenes to trigger and had to redo the game to get Robert's ending.
If it is confirmed, how do you think that factors into Robert and Mary's relationship? They're obviously chummy, so it's possible that Robert didn't tell Mary. But then Mary tells you "I'm surprised, you wouldn't normally be Joseph's type", so that means she probably is aware of Joseph's cock desire on some level.
I kinda feel like Robert would have told Mary about it, but then I can kinda see hiding this being another aspect of his self destructive/self hating side.
>>3122032
It's confirmed on Joseph's third date. I kinda have the feeling that Robert wasn't friends with Mary at the time the affair took place or was under the impression the marriage was over with. Maybe they even bonded because they both felt burned by Joseph.
>>3122032
It doesn't go into details but Joseph says Robert hit him up for sex. Robert doesn't specify who started it, so it's possible Joseph did and seduced him, though they're both kinda slutty so I think Robert approached him first. Also you see a pic of Robert wearing Joseph's sweater on the yacht. So... it kind of implies they had more than a one-night stand IMO despite what Joseph says.
I think Robert and Mary were friends beforehand, and this is a big reason why Robert's so pissed off. He's not just mad at Joseph for failing to commit to him, he's mad at himself for fucking a married guy.
>>3122036
I doubt Robert "was under the impression the marriage was over", he probably just thought he could win Joseph over because Joseph is clearly unhappy in his marriage.
What I really don't get is all the Robert love vs Joseph hate when Robert has done plenty of shitty things not just relating to Joseph's infidelity. They are alarmingly similarly shitty, but for different reasons. Yet Robert is just a poor precious baby who needs love while Joseph is the worst person ever. I feel people just feel annoyed Joseph stayed with his wife instead of choosing them/the MC.

>I feel people just feel annoyed Joseph stayed with his wife instead of choosing them/the MC.
Nailed it.
>>3122140
>>3122141
I'ts honestly amazing how bitter some people are over it. When it happened I was surprised but at the same time it's "Well that's what you get" you're trying to get with a married guy.
>>3122145
I've seen a lot of foaming at the mouth and accusing the devs of homophobia because of it. Like just because the game didn't align with their headcanon it's automatically queerbaiting trash.
>>3122140
>>3122141
>>3122145
no1curr, but as someone with an absent alcoholic father similar to robert? yeah fuck robert. i liked his character a lot. his route was funny and the good end is nice. but both of his bad ends make it clear robert is an asshole. either he uses you for sex and then rubs it in your face, or he tells you he didn't make an effort to start talking to his daughter again.
joseph is a cheater and that's horrible, yeah, but at least he's there for his children. and he's a youth minister, so he helps others a lot. still an asshole, but mitigated through other good qualities, just like robert. they are BOTH assholes, but for different reasons, like other anon said.
imo this is a sign of good writing, they are very layered
>>3122150
Guys just don't get that a guy shagging other guys = not automatically an angel. For some reason they think being homosexual and being a good guy is a two package deal.
As if scummy bi-guy who betrays his wife with other man is such an uncommon trope (both in real and fiction)
>>3122153
I was really impressed with the depth of the writing that Joseph, Mary, and Robert got. I came for the dad dating and stayed for characterization.
>>3122161
They do that with a lot of minorities. It's pretty dehumanizing.
i just wanted to pop in with my dad rating don't mind me
Joseph
Robert
Brian
Damien
Hugo
Mat
Craig
>>3122140
>Also you see a pic of Robert wearing Joseph's sweater on the yacht.
Do you have a picture, by any chance? For science?
>>3122183
I don't think it's shown. The MC finds it while looking around the boat.
Is it weird that I think Joseph is sexy when he takes care of his kids? It's one reason that makes me forgive him a little bit for being an asshole
>>3122189
Not weird at all. Lots of people find nurturing an attractive trait.
>>3122184
Ah, damn I'm more intrigued. Thanks, anyway!
>>3122204
Here are screenshots of it.
Interesting how the MC thinks it was "a few years ago"... so Rob and Joe didn't have just a one-night stand. They must have known each other and been close long before that.
>>3122225
Damn. Yeah, this sounds less like a one night stand and more like it was a serious thing. Interesting.
Thanks again, anon!
>>3122189
Not at all, that's why the game is about dads after all.
How do you feel about reverse Joseph?
>>3122261
And reverse Robert?
>>3122322
Agree.
>>3122169
It's odd, isn't it? Trying to be so understanding and bla, but in the end they are the same fetishizing bunch.
>>3122261
Prefer blonde and pastel Joseph as another anon said it makes him look like that fake nice preppy boy he is.
>>3122378
lol this is always such a noticeable problem. Make the minority, whatever they are, so one-note and "flawless" they are just bland and unrealistic. Make them fucking human already.
what a cancerous mess of an entertainment product
>>3122322
That it is.
>>3122387
Even if it isn't, it's way hot.
>>3122375
>>3122380
>Fake cuteness
Stop right now! Joseph is a pure, cute and honest man, and there's nothing fake with him!
Evil Joseph is hot though
>>3122394
Good boys who are secret sluts are the best.
>>3122394
I also like the result. I was afraid they would make Joseph into the shy-bashful inexperienced one when paired with Robert, kinda lika what happen whith Reaper76. The cult ending really helped to turn things around.
>>3122387
I don't, but the appeal of it (both in game and in fanart) definitely is heavily based on the fact that Joseph doesn't scream "I am dark and bad" already in your face.
He looks like your regular suburban christian dad in 80s Ken bubblegum clothes, which makes it even nicer that under this shell he is actually a manipulating piece of shit.
It's shallow, but that's how character design works for you.
>>3122394
It totally is.
I wasn't interested in him from the design at first, the moment I knew he was a cheater, has a wife, plays with other people I was all "take me".
>>3122392
This
>>3122414
>>3122387
Uh, no? I don't, it's clearly a joke. Where in my post did you see that. I'm >>3122380
>>3122392
I didn't say his cuteness was fake, he is definitely cute and charming, but the dude lies about a lot of shit or just plain deceptive/avoidant. He's got a lot of fucked up shit going on he tries to run from or play down
Crazy cult Joseph is a fun idea, pretty hot, but definitely not canon
>>3122419
surprised there's not more stuff of this slut with his jeans practically falling off
>>3122416
I was refering to his cuteness too, and of course hyperbolating a little. I think that his charming exterior (baking, the church stuff, his love for his kids and so on) is real, but at the same time I'm sure the dude has his fair share of secrets. We don't know how is he with Mary when alone, so we can't pin all the blame on Mary for their failing marriage, and I feel like he and Joseph have more story than just a one time fling. He's not that inoccent and harmless. The triangle they have between them is really messy.
>>3122415
>hand holding
Lewd.
>>3122423
ouch
>>3122435
need more pics of joseph in sailor outfits
This is probably a weird question, but has anyone found any porn with guys in it that look like Joseph and Robert?
It can't be that hard to find, but man I'm really craving seeing a smooth but masculine blonde WASP get his ass drilled by a hot, hairy, fit and dark top like Robert... or vice versa t b h.
>>3122474
When I first saw the game, I had no opinion on Craig but after seeing his route I was really won over. Best dad
>>3122542
He's a ringer for Shiro from Voltron so I knew I'd be getting into his pants but I wasn't expecting to be so thoroughly won over with the adorable personality and cute forehead kisses.
>>3122548
>"I like making new memories with you"
That was so gay and lame I almost choked(in a good way)
>>3122416
>>3122422
What are the odds of we getting any clarification on Robert, Joseph and Mary on the future?
Honestly, I didn't believe Joseph for a single second when he was going about divorcing his wife or about genuinely wanting to work things out with her, I think he just lied to get into MC's pants and probably did the same to Robert too, but I might be just awfully biased since I like Mary and Robert much more than him. There's so much that was left vague.
https://youtu.be/aNjX--zXBlE
Ok the guy playing is anoying but what are your thoughts of this? Fake, real, expansion material, discarted ending
Also did someone else noted we never get to see Joseph youngest maybe is a reference to Rose Mary baby what I think is kind of cool
>>3122609
Iirc they said it was a joke ending that was scrapped.
>>3122594
I hope we get some clarification with dlc or something. I need more of these dads stories.
>>3122594
Why would he tell you he wants to stay away from you and work things out with Mary in order to get in your pants?
You guys already fucked. He has no reason to tell you he doesn't want to continue in order to sleep with you again. That's the "side piece" ending.
>>3122611
I've seen a few people on tumblr make that claim or that it was supposed to be Halloween dlc but never with any proof from the devs.
>>3122614
Appearances? It's easier to hide and deny flings than a steady bf. This is all assuming Joseph is just a manipulative jerk, though. I'm still conflicted about his motivations.
>>3122611
I can see the discarted ending part... But I have trouble looking at the joke
http://steamed.kotaku.com/dream-daddy-creators-explain-why-you-can-t-smooch-all-t-1797354455
So they explain why you can't end with all the dads, namely Joseph and Robert in their good endings.
>...‘This feels morally dubious and bad,’ because you’re essentially trying to break up a marriage. I’m surprised that so many people have been like, ‘Why can’t we be together?’”
Have to admit this makes me a bit angry. They show how toxic their marriage is, how miserable Joseph and Mary are in it, and wonder why people wouldn't like them to end up together again?
>>3122654
>>3122652
I'm okay with Robert's (good) ending. But
>...‘This feels morally dubious and bad,’ because you’re essentially trying to break up a marriage.
Lel I'm sorry but that marriage is already a wreck. I don't even want my dadsona to end up with Joseph (I love everyone else, specially Craig), but I do want Joseph and Mary to have a friendly divorce/mutual custody of the kids and for Mary to get help with her drinking problem. They are just terrible for each other.
>>3122652
>I’m surprised that so many people have been like, ‘Why can’t we be together?
Wut. Nobody's playing this game for a morality lesson. I'm here to bone hot dads.
>>3122611
None of the devs has said a single word about this yet.
>>3122652
That's kind of disappointing. I mean, most people who played his route were expecting a divorce at some point, which would've be the best for both of them. I doubt there was a considerable amount of people who were getting off to the cheating aspect.
I did Joseph's route after Robert and Damien and honestly I wasn't even hoping for a divorce because I wanted to bone Joseph free of guilt, I just wanted Mary to be free.
>>3122680
Both deserve to be free honestly.
>>3122681
In an effort to punish the player they ended up doing what was worse for both characters. Welp.
Maybe we'll get that DLC.
>>3122681
This.
Everyone demonizes Joseph. I absolutely love Mary as a character but she is not there for the kids. And she is emotionally cheating even if she apparently doesn't take guys home (so says the bartender.) Both of them are miserable with each other and it's a toxic relationship where neither is worse.
It would be best if they did divorce.
shouldn't you number these threads?
>>3122747
why
>>3122747
Is it really necessary? This is the third thread if it is.
A bit sad Mat seems to be the least favorite dad ny fans, I thought his route was very cute
>>3122913
Dude's seriously adorable but I can't stand his minigame.
