Realism

[Al Arlington]

I always found that really funny that Jimmy could walk about with his weapon out and nobody seems to notice.

Same with GTA.

I looked at some websites at the wish-lists they want for Bully 2 and I saw one saying something about you should be able to have sex in the next game.
And I was like, 'the--' if you want that stuff go to GTA or something.

San Andreas had that but got removed by complaining people saying how it was to "inappropriate" for younger gamers when GTA SA is 18+. :|
Plus, I'd like to see the main character having relationships to add realism. Maybe have one sex obsessed character (Like Roman Bellic ) but not physicly go into it.

So kids don't have sex while in High School ?   Or get Drunk ?  Or do Drugs ?  Or cut themselves ?  Or get killed driving recklessly ?

If we're going for reality, why not 'go all the way' ?

I don't really want that, as I said Grand Theft Auto is for all that.
Bully is meant to be it's own game like the Child of GTA.

I remember this from Miss Danvers:
Boys are reminded it's strictly forbidden to go into the girls dorm. There will be NO hanky panky at this school.

I know that last part dead on.

Like I ever let that stop me.

For realism I think it would have been neat to have your character try out for things like chorus, band, and other extracurricular activities. Like Chorus could be like how karoake is done in the game Sleeping Dogs. Or join the sports team maybe.

The security is terrible.

@Crazy I like the idea of the sports team. Build up muscle.

You'd be surprised. After four years of high school I've learned that sex, drugs, and alcohol are pretty much everywhere, especially where you'd least expect it. You'd be surprised at the shit all the kids will pull in my area, and a lot of my friends or people that I knew I thought were innocent-looking, but they were actually stuck in the ghetto, and just lost in their own heads in general (I obviously wasn't immune considering my hate for all of it was pretty much a lower-leveled love).

I can see what you mean though to an extent. I can see Rockstar focusing on these very themes, of the underage and the mainstream, etc... They could still do that, but they can't make it "GTA Jr.", either.

If the next Bully were to center around something similar to my experience, I believe they could make a good (and immensely screwed up) experience, especially for storytelling.

^Maybe the protag could be more open to girls?

[CrazyMan89]

Just make it all optional sort of like a respect system. Go out and party you gain respect from the jocks or go to the library and study and gain respect from the lesser cliques (sp?). Let the world change around you as you become the student you would want to be. Heck maybe toss in a character maker. Just opinions that's all.

[Al Arlington]

A character maker would be neat. Just very minor differences depending what gender you are.
E.G Boys get a gym outfit (Like Kirby) and get a uniform similar to Jimmy (Shirt and vest custom colour & length) and stay in the Boys Dorms while girls get a cheerleaders dress and a outfit like Zoe or Christy (Skirt and shirt custom colour and length)

Each come with a range of voices & a pronounced name.

[CrazyMan89]

It would be interesting to see the voice feature , I picture it sort of like on the sims 3 where you can adjust the pitch of ones voice.  No I don't mean speaking Simlish incase anyone reading this is thinking that.

[BloodChuckZ]

What about Pig Latin ?

I was thinking more along the lines of having different tones.

One rough
One slightly sqeaky
One soft

Or Nigerian Pidgin.
