We know Jill has some strong thoughts on cheatings based off the date in episode 4. We don't know to what extent they did anything together so it's hard to say she has a thing for her.
Maybe, maybe, but as i mentioned, right now mc only has open relationships, i just hope we get the chance to tell her about Bella at some point before s**t hits the fan.

I strongly agree. I feel that players who are pursuing both Jill and Bella should be given the option at some point in the game to come clean about Bella to Jill and see were it goes the from there. The sooner the better cause if not then it's almost certain to blow up in our faces.

Behind Maya/Josy I feel Sage has the most drama to deal with regarding Quinn and the rest of the HOT's. The MC/Jill/Bella triangle isn't worrying in the slightest bit so far in the story, Bella is continuously reacting to Jill's positive comments about the date with MC positively. The drama is more Bella's side than Jill.
For me, as the MC, Sage offers the least drama for two reasons. The first is because I don't consider Quinn and the HOTs to be an issue. I am not a part of that fraternity and hold no responsibility for how it's run. The second is because I don't consider Chad to be a threat. On the Sage route, as unethical as it is, she suggests and initiates most of the interactions with me, which are initially lustful but increasingly affectionate. If not on the Sage route, she's still in the picture, such as in the last update where she hints at wanting something to eventuate between us. If it were not to work out with Sage, I wouldn't be too affected, as there are other options.

I'd say that the pairings of Maya / Josy and Jill / Isabella offer the most drama because any mutual romance that develops between the MC and any of these four may create some friction between the pairings. Maya and Josy, as a couple, may have unresolved issues. Jill and Isabella are both secretive and, while they may not blatantly lie to the MC about things, they are careful about the truths that they share with him. Avenues with both pairings are mental and emotional minefields.

I also think that the energetic and jovial interactions between the MC and Sage are natural and the least draining. The MC is himself around her. She knows it and not only accepts it, but enjoys it. They're not walking on egg shells around each other; their connection is natural. This for me is fundamental and already a big plus. I look to see if tension and chemistry are present in a budding relationship, and both are evident in their moments together.

Next to Sage, I'd say that the interactions with Jill are generally positive and authentic. She's older and from a different social class, but she's actually curious about the MC and drawn to him. If you consider tension, it's there. The chemistry is there too, as they are not only destined professionals, but they are also both into music and sports. I'd also add that she doesn't appear to want to change the MC. One of the best moments for me in the game so far is when the MC gives her a black eye with his dildo helmet, in her bed, and she doesn't have a meltdown. Top moment, for sure.

With the other big three love interests, I think that the potential for drama is greater. There is simmering tension with Isabella, but she corrects and lectures him a lot, which could be seen as a bit of a red flag in the early stages of any bond or relationship. Maya, I believe, is trying to shape him into someone she'd ideally want to be with; I can't forget how the MC must pass her seemingly insignificant tests during that lunch or how she sells him the benefits of a feminism class. Could the MC really be himself or develop his own and even slightly edgy identity around these two? I'm not sure. With Josy, I think that the drama really comes from her past with Maya, and the possibility that they have not overcome any past problems or differences.

fairly sure you will be able to get them both on one play through, might mean cheating and might mean ‘bad endings’. Remember DPC has said he doesn’t want people to be trying to maximise rep. So it’s okay to not get a point with Jill to get one with Bella and vis versa.
Yep, RP doesn't really matter as far as progressing the different relationships, it's the choices you make that count. Maybe choosing Jill over Bella during the yoga will matter, but the RP gained from it likely won't. Besides, I chose Jill in my main playthrough and still ended up maxing out points for both of them by the end.

i'm not sure about the bad ending thingh, the game hinted heavily that something sexual happened between jill and bella, so if we can figure out what is bella's mental hick up, maybe we can make something more like josy and maya, also, jill knows that my mc is seeing other people, so....
I think a 3 way relationship is entrirely dependent on Jill and not Bella as I feel she could be persuaded to one if she knows Jill and MC are ok with it, where as it's almost impossible for us to know weather Jill would agree to sharing MC with just Bella if she knew that she's also fallen for him.
I have a hopeful, and probably naive, view that Bella and Jill will be a do-over of Melissa and Megan in AL. The situation seems somewhat similar where we have two close friends who are interested in the same guy; one who's very sweet and innocent, and the other who's more emotionally closed off but capable of deep affection.

Perhaps these two will have a threesome/sharing path with the MC because, again, much like in AL, the MC is really bringing Bella out of her shell and making her happy, so I could see Jill being very encouraging of this since Bella is her best friend and she will no doubt want what's best for her, just like Megan did for Melissa in AL. I also think that Jill could be OK with such a sharing-type relationship because she's a people-pleaser, and whilst it would be an unconventional relationship, all parties involved would be happy to have each other and I can't see there being any feelings of jealousy among them either.

From what I seen of Jill, she for sure has a thing for Bella, and as i mentioned, seems ok with mc having other people , at least for now, i think convincing Jill wouldn't be a problem, also, the mc could mention the Maya-Josy relationship.
I wouldn't go so far as to say she has "a thing" for Bella, but I do think something has happened between them before, probably in Bella's bed which is why Jill tried to assure her that, "It's not gonna happen again".

Also, is Bella the person she meets after speaking to Rusty? The hairstyle looks to be exactly the same. :unsure:
Y'know, I didn't look at her hair. I looked at the ears. There's probably a limited subset of 'ear' variance for NPC models, but they are the same in both pics for it to be Bella.

I updated my game from 0.4.2 to 0.5.0 and continued from my past save, but when i found a new reward error screen comes up, i click ignore till to continue but in rewards app there is no new rewards. the given error is about there is no such file about reward. also it happens sometimes with people, when they will say something, another error comes through and i click few times ignore to continue but i can't see what they would say. Any thoughts?

I am not native English so sorry to my grammar mistakes.

This seems to be a common problem for some. Unfortunately it seems the only way to fix it is to download the full 0.5 version.

Firstly, yes, a lot of people do put their own feelings into this character and it's why we have several people who keep thinking there should be a "3rd option" to cut them off completely because that's what they want to do, but it's not what the MC wants to do. This has certainly contributed to a lot of the ill feelling towards M&J because rather than put themselves in the MC's shoes, people are putting their own shoes on the MC.

Also, as far as the in-game story timeframe is conecerned, I would also add that whilst it is 2 weeks for the MC, it's a lot longer for players because of the wait between updates, and that allows people to think a lot more about these characters and really get attached to them, so that likely also contributed to M&J hate as feelings will have deepened the more people thought about them making the ep 4 events hurt more.

However, I would disagree with a couple of points.
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
I don’t disagree with any of this but again it’s your understanding of this. Your emotions and reactions to events.

The MC might see it differently. His understanding of the semantics of “crush” might differ from yours or mine.

my point wasn’t I was correct in my new understanding of the story, nor I agree with the MC’s take on what happened to him. My point was more weight needs to be given to how he reacts over how we would react.

The MC has forgiven them. everyone involved is cool with this “just dating” thing. I previously thought this was incongruous. Having replayed I see it fits if the MC is just being more casual about all this than I thought he was.

I take back all my obscure theories about Josy/Maya being a rewrite of a much more intimate story. I take back my issue with them rejecting DIK MC then jumping right back into secretly liking him.

A more casual relationship bridges or excuses a lot of stuff. I don’t have to forgive them for the MC to do so logically. I don’t have to forgive the cheating for the MC to do so (like you did). My point is the MC isn’t me and thinking he was tainted my understanding of this story. It flows better now. Maya/Josy isn’t a glaring inconsistency by a writer who achieves consistency on all other routes.

Yeah, maybe is just my wishful thinking, but the way she said it, it looked more like Bella had a problem with it and not Jill.

Or a Chick. First thing you do after becoming a DIK is walk away shamed by Tybalt.

I don't think Gandhi had sex very often... :ROFLMAO:
Shame? Nobody can make you feel shame. Only you feel it. For me to even consider the words of somebody else as meaningful I'd have to care about that person's opinion. Tybalt is dog shit on my shoe. His words have no value or weight.

That said: Yeah, I punched his ass. He put hands on me. You start some, you gonna get some.

*but: His doing so was not unprovoked. You did crash the party and fuck things up. You're kinda the asshole in this situation no matter what, so choosing to not punch him helps mitigate that a little.

As for Gandhi, that dude was getting ass left, right, and center.

We are all fans of the game here but what would you say are the flaws of Being a Dik so far?

Personally I think Maya was not handled right. She got a lot of focus in the first few episodes but since the "twist" at the end of the third her character feels shallow to me.

Thoughts?

I agree, a lot of the problems fall into line when you realize that, for whatever reason, the three of them really do view this as a relatively casual dating scenario. They all hope it will grow into something more, but they are not sure how best to make that happen so they want to take it very slow and not get their hopes up too soon.

For the most part, I can accept that; if future episodes show the three of them working their way through things in a satisfying manner, I'll be happy. Really, I only have two quibbles with the situation. First, if this is the outcome, DPC should not have made the Maya/Josy decision the dramatic climax of Season 1. That primed the audience to expect more from resulting relationship, so it's really his own fault if people misunderstand the setup now.

Second, it's hard to reconcile everyone accepting a casual threeway relationship with how certain Maya and Josy are that they love each other if you go the friendship route. If they really feel that strongly about each other, then either their feelings for the MC must likewise be beyond casual to match their own love, or their feelings for each other are nowhere near as strong as they think they are. The former implies the trio are trying to deceive themselves to avoid emotional pain in case this falls apart (which could be fine if it is eventually addressed). The latter bodes ill for a happy ending to the Maya/Josy couple and would make me very sad.

We'll see what happens. I'd be very surprised if each new update doesn't have at least one hangout chance for those on the Maya/Josy path, so one way or the other we will learn more.

I was mostly trolling in that post. Mostly. You may think you made a good decision by not punching Tybalt. If everyone else thinks he made fun of you and harassed you physically without you defending yourself or retaliating your public image is tarnished. No matter what you think about it.

(Btw, you don't have to feel shame to be shamed. Those are different things).

Interesting info on Gandhi, though. I've never read about that. Turns out Nuclear Gandhi may not be that much of a meme after all :ROFLMAO:

Uhm... Maybe something similar to what happened when Jill slept with MC? If I remember correctly, the MC woke up with his hand between Jill's legs... Maybe Jill has some vivid dreams and once Bella woke up with Jill's face between her boobs?

DPC, we need a detailed flashback, please! :KEK:
