I don't think there should be the choice of joining cliques.

Rather, I think it should be that once a clique is defeated, the main character should then work to gain that clique's trust. As you guys know, the only reason cliques calm down and become friendlier is due to fear. I thought it would've been cool if there were missions involving doing quite a number of tasks for the clique so as to gain their full respect, and their service for future missions.

To be honest the clique thing is to give a player a sense of choice and it'd really take the rails off the story and allow the player to personalise the character somewhat not to mention it'd give it an insane amount of replay value.

The biggest reason why Bully 1 felt so much on rails was that Jimmy was never given any choice and his character was very strongly of one type (Brute). I dunno, but I felt it'd be cool to open up the game a bit more then that.

I always thought it was funny/odd you could make Jimmy look like something he is totally not (Preppy/Nerd) though especially amusing when Jimmy is dressed like a Prep and says to Clint 'I hate the rich kids' (yet I totally dig their fashion sense... yeah...)

I agree with the fear thing and thought for a while that respect comes in two flavours.

Fear respect: Characters don't attack you on sight but are obviously not very happy with you. Some sort of interaction would be cool here but I don't know what.

Actual respect: Generally like you. It might not be neccessary to 'punish' them first. I guess certain missions might allow for some their member/s to assist the main character if they want.

That's basically the idea I had in my story.

The protagonist, along with her two roommates, tames all the university cliques, then subsequently is forced to take down the four dangerous local gangs, before they discovers an even bigger conspiracy that involves the entire corrupt city. When that happens, she and all the cliques and gangs under her wing work together according to their strengths.

Personally, I think making the protaginist a female would take away from what Bully really is. Also, I think the high-school setting is more appropiate.

But I do like the idea of non-school gangs and conspiracies.

A little idea for Bully 2....the ability to repeat missions.

We couldn't in the first game.

My story is actually in an alternate universe, but strongly inspired by Bully. Very little to directly relate with Bully.

And the only reason the protagonist is a female is because the setting is in a city where only females can own land, work, and study there (boys born there have to leave and do their studies/work elsewhere at the age of 15). Basically, women are the dominant gender in that culture.

Weird, I know.

Also, the conspiracies I have in mind wouldn't work within a high school setting.

I put this question up as a topic a while ago. If there were two protaganists should one of them be female? I personally have mixed feelings towards this.

I know RockStar doesn't normally do this.....But I always enjoyed CapCom's RE series having a second option to play as a female.  That would be totally awesome.

Having a second scenario? Maybe.

RE's was basically the same scenario, just played as a different gender, for the most part.  There were some differences, such as new areas that could be accessed, in RE 1 & RE 2.  In RE 4, it WAS a different scenario, but intersected with Leon's at times.

RE4 is where things kinda went off course from what the games once were.

Well I did start to post my Bully 2 idea and have had some more for a while, that mostly talks about my new main characters and their backgrounds explaining the starting point of the story but it's a bit long I guess...

It's true what they say with a picture (cutscene) telling a thousand words.
