is this the very fist instance in the game where the illusion of choice is made known? (for the obvious reason of future drama)

"Tell her what you know" is a total non-answer and MC does not actually implement the player's choice.
may I offer you some world famous cupcakes-of-choice to ease the pain? :HideThePain:

I do agree, however, I was always pissed that fuckface gives maya half an answer
"she's bad"
oh wow no shit fuckface, I didn't see that for myself

This is the first reveal that MC is truly Neil's son - can't remember shit for his life.

i definitely dont have it in me to do all that lol again. i definitely agree the writing is good and i do enjoy the world he has made, but i just kinda wish there were some available shortcuts for people who would want to see all outcomes (or just dip their feet back into the world without diving all the way into the deep end) without literally replaying the entire game from scratch when the game is just so massive.

i genuinely cant imagine playing it from the start with the intention of seeing everything the game has to offer after another few years of content. id only have that kind of time if i was back in highschool or college with no other real responsibilities or obligations lmao. i wouldnt want it to take months on end for me to get through what amounts to a well realized porn game; it would be like watching American Pie for 5 min per week until its over and thinking it was overall a good way to experience that kind of story :Kappa:
It wouldn't be impossible to create a standalone tool that builds your export from the end of Season 2, the only problem is there are over 600 variables that are exported, and having to answer them all would be boring as fuck. I'd rather just play the game again! :ROFLMAO:

I dunno, I seem to recall thinking that mc said fuck all when I first chose that option, however what he says, while a little vague, does sound alarming:

mc "Don't trust Quinn, Maya."​
my "What?"​
mc "She's evil!"​
my "Evil? Come on, she's just a bit...rough around the edges."​
mc "Nope. EVIL. I know what she does with her girls."​
mc "She uses them to earn money."​
my "Uses them how?"​
mc "Just...don't trust her, Maya. Please!"​
my "Maybe I could talk to Sage, instead?"​
my "She seems kind of cool."​
mc "Yes! Sage! Do that!"​
mc "Just not Quinn!"​

I mean when the mc says, "She uses them to earn money", and Maya is like, "Uses them how?" The mc should have said, "Who are you, Jill? What the fuck do you think? I just told you she was evil and she's using the girls to make money, do I need to spell it out for you, you dozy cunt?"

Finally, I could see the reaction of jade when she heard that mc was Sage's new boyfriend ( step-daughter). And, the previous situation was that the relationship between Jade and MC was break up partially, which makes her upset. So there is a possible opportunity for Jade to convince Sage to allow her to be included into the relationship between Sage and MC.

What are you going to do about it at this point?
I already have a steam review on this game that states it is quality, but update speed crawled to a near halt. It's not recommended.

That's about all I can do, and I already did it.
Anything else you can think of doing is simply post 2010s twitter-rage bullshit. Pointless.

If the doctor looks like this in real life with a cake head and a body like that

I forgive him everything
Really? I don't see any blue hair. Or is that minty-green cake close enough? :p


I'm not here to brag about how much I love this game. I'm just posting this to make sure I'm not crazy.
View attachment 2214958
This is the PT's which I have now. and also several other branch saves. ( The season saves named MAIN is- CHase after every girl and choosing the named path. only means dedicated path.)

I started playing BAD when the EP7 dropped. This was my 3rd AVN (After Milfy shitty and AOA Academy). I liked it so much that I played the Modded version on my phone. Only 3 saves ( Dik, Chick and Neutral).
Then EP8 dropped
in EP8 we can choose a path so I decided to play dedicated PT's for the main girls.
and I bought a PC for just to play this game. and I played from the start and had 6 PT's.
but I did that using Walkthrough mod. The Mod messed up my saves and I decided to delete all the saves (again) which I had then and started fresh again by re-installing the game.
and I reached where I'm now.

So. My question is, The people here is like me?
I never get bored by doing it. I have planned to play it again right before playing EP9.
I discussed this with my friend and he called me crazy.
I just want to know That I'm not the only one
Season_2_export_save_screen.png
I don't get bored replaying the game, but I do get weary. I really didn't like the way Season 2 ended. I had a 'chase all the LIs' run that I'd planned to import once for each branch, but in the end it didn't seem worth the effort. I'd worked hard to see just about everything prior to that, but not only is it getting harder to track all the variations, I'm skeptical they're really going to matter as anything more than curiosities. On some level it's cool the way the new math teacher can be beaten up or not depending on our past decisions, but that's no a substitute for the invariant "Fuck. Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck. Fuck" at the cliffhanger. :mad:

Unless Episode 9 really hits it out of the park, I suspect I'll treat BaDIK like most of the other games I play: stick to the content that interests me and ignore the rest. Maybe I'll fill in the rest during the long development time, but that's not something to be enthusiastic about IMHO. :(


In honor of having a release date, what's everyone's favorite episode so far? I've always been partial to 3 and 7. Episode 3 has always been one of me favorites because it was the last episode we had with Maya alone, ever since then I've had to share her with Josy.

And 7 because it felt like the most inclusive to every character.
Best to worst, I'd rank them as follows: 2, 3, 7, 4, 1, 6, 5, 8. (The Interlude isn't really comparable, but I suppose it would be dead last if I had to place it).

In general I disliked Season 2 because it felt like we were spinning our wheels for most of it; we got lots of sex scenes, but the story stalled and the character notes were either repetitive (Maya/Josy or Bella) or nonsensical (Sage or Jill). The early episodes did a much better job mixing story and character development while also providing plenty of lewd material.

Another one bites the dust(30$ a month). I just found this on Reddit. Poor guy/girl. lol

View attachment 2216003
Yeah well, what should i say, iam one of those "victims". Posted on discord some walkthrough for episode 7 shortly after release, cause the official one wasnt made back than. But it wasnt the official one... so, yeah... boot met ass, and thats it. (at least thats the reason for the ban i think... DPC doesnt give you a reason, so dunno exactly)

DPC sure has a very short fuse kicking sups out of patreon... mention anything DPC has not done himself? Obviously a bad thing. Talking about other sites to get maybe other download links than the one from patreon, even if you are a sup, bad thing... and so on. Sometimes i think, the effort he put behind it to kick many people for something like that should be more used due to development... but, yeah... being a dik is a great game, DPC is making a really good job developing this game. But as a person... i think... well, he is a dik ^^

but i have a second patreon account, he lost me as a sup during development though. dont like this kind of short fuse and behaivior, whats the point? There wasnt any harm done? Dont get him sometimes *shrug*. Now i just pledge when a update is coming out and cancel again after downloading it. To be fair, i didnt do that for the interlude, cause it wasnt worth it.

For the user in the reddit posting. Well, obviously DPC doesnt care for the money (he has more than enough income anyways) luckily there are sites like F95... its not like that DPC can prevent others to play his game by just shut them out of patreon, he should know that... the only thing happening? DPC loses some money. But nevermind... DPC sure is a strange fellow as a person, no doubt about that.

I'm in the same boat. I really hated how MC handled breaking up with Jade via phone (felt too out of character). While I'd love the threesome option, I'm pretty sure Jade will use the awkwardness of the situation to get with the MC one last time or possibly through some stat convo checks, you might be able to do some damage control.

Either way, you know she's gonna put her hands on MC during that dinner and make a 'son' joke to mess with his head.

And I assume that CHICK affinity will not let me fuck Quinn in that case, am I right?
You get one free ride, on the DIK mansion roof. If the mc smokes with them, you can choose to fuck Quinn no matter what's happened prior to that. Of course smoking weed is a DIK affinity choice, but you can still keep your Chick affinity if this was the only deviation. But after that, Quinn won't be interested in the mc if he's not a DIK.

Sage has a clear anger issue that I need to resolve. Jill is someone I wouldn't take with because her personality reminds me of an ex... Nicole is more mature woman and knows where she stands clearly and she has a child doesn't bother me, I want one too... Someday but not now
Reasonable justification for all 3 of them.

It’s a noble thing to take care of someone else's child.

What I fear is that MC may hurt a kid.

He sometimes behaves as an experienced middle-age man, sometimes like 18yo and sometimes like 5 yo. I didn’t find a pattern in what areas he’s developed, underdeveloped and overdeveloped. From my perspective it’s quite random and mentaly 5yo person is not fit to take care of a child imo. I’m sure I don’t want to risk seeing MC hurting a kid.

But if you’re mentaly prepared for it I can only aplaude your noble choice.


Isn't Lily just buying weed in the game? There was maybe one scene with a syringe but that was Tommy and Quinn. I mean, yea weed is still a drug but I don't think it's enough to consider someone a druggie. They'd have to be doing some pretty hardcore shit to make me think that.
If sb needs a constant supply of large amounts of drugs, then in my opinion she is a druggie. Be it a weed or anything else.

Why do I think that is a constant and large amount?

Constant - It looks like there was no break between Lily getting drugs from the old supplier and the new supplier (Quinn).

Large amount - If irc Lily offers 500 $ to buy drugs. Vip pass for Pink Rose Club is 10 $ and Diks behave as if it is a large amount. Lap dance is 1 $. Diks can work for 1-4 $ per day (Walkthrough says 1-5, but I never saw 5 $ per day offer ig). It’s obvious that 1 $ ig is worth much more than irl.

Both Quinn and Lily are aware that 500 $ (or any amount offered by Lily, if I’m mistaken) is a lot of money and lots of drugs can be bought. So Lily is likely buying a lot for the girls.

PS. I think that Quinn took advantage of Rich and got from him much more than the order was worth. If not, narcotics are very expensive in the game universe compared to everything else that could be bought till now. Or simply prices in this game are very fucked up.

i thought about doing a fresh playthrough before the new episode, as i thought it would be fun to see everything fresh again. but damn there is almost too much to actually get through lol (even with minigames off). i just got through the CUM-petition and im not thrilled about how much more i'll have to go through just to make the limited major decisions that influence future content.

i kinda wish DPC would implement something like Genesis in Mass Effect 2 did where you are given a template where you can choose all the major decisions your MC made previously and just jump ahead in the story gameplay wise. like how much more convenient would that be?

i already have my save files ready so i dont need to actually finish this new playthrough, but im kinda surprised how tedious it is starting from the beginning. decades from now when the game is 100% complete, i cant imagine plaything from the very beginning. its honestly almost too much stuff to get through if you are actually interested in the story itself
Yeah i'm with you on this one, imo this game has no replayability at all... i have one playthrough with a neutral/chick path i guess (damn it been so long i played this game i can't even remember:)) tho i know for sure its a Bella path... so i tryed to play another path a while ago with minigames off, a dick path so i can choose another LI but my God i couldn't go through so much content especially so much joint content that pretty much brings you to the same conclusion with a let's say a small reward that you have to choose another LI... that's it, no other story twists if you choose another path no nothing...:HideThePain:

I guess i will have to ask someone for some saves cuz having just the Bella path my God this update will be a short one for me...:LUL:

Now it's not really a shortcut, but you should try out URM , it works with every renpy game. It doesnt change any files, but gives you an Overlay that captures all choices and paths in real time. On choices you can see what they do, and if they lead to different scenes, you can click those, automatically enter Renpy Replay mode and after you have seen the scene, you get teleported back to that choice. On paths you can enter scenes even though your stats or prior decisions don't qualify you for them, you would again enter replay mode and then get send back.

So it would allow you to see all scenes in just 1 playthrough, it also gets updated quite regularly and adds QoL improvements.

Who is sb?

Uh ... I guess I can kind of see your train of thought. It'd be like saying someone who is constantly drinking is indeed an alcoholic. I guess it's the connotation of the word "druggie" that made me think of a meth head belting out bloodcurdling screams at 3AM on a Thursday that made me think Nicole is in no way like a druggie.
The thing is, most potheads are just lazy as fuck and it's more of a mental addiction than a physical one. They don't really show any major behavioral problems like hyper aggression and don't really suffer from withdrawal symptoms like with everything else besides maybe mild irritation. Also kind of hard or even impossible to OD on it from what I've seen or heard.
I mean I can kind of see your point but I still think my opinion is also valid on not necessarily labeling Nicole as a druggie. Pothead? Yes. It'd be like saying an alcoholic is a druggie. Although technically true, it just sounds weird.

Also about the money system in BADIK. I think DPC himself has said not to put too much weight on the money system as it's just a simplified way of keeping track of money spent and gained. It's all pretty out of whack and I've seen some users attempt to "decode" it to no avail. I don't think even DPC has any real concrete figures on how much money that is in real life but I think that's part of the point. It's just supposed to be a simple way of comparing either a small amount or large amount of money with no exact figures or keeping track of personal money. Just "A" is less money than "B" or "Y" is A LOT more money than "X". There's just not that much importance placed in how much anything is, it's just supposed to mean "a lot" or "a little" and it's better than saying "$0.50" or "a billion apples" or something random like that. Like a placeholder for when money is referenced I guess.
So, I think you're right that it's probably a large supply since even repairing windows cost only $65 and half a semester's tuition for a small, private university would cost around 5K. Though, it's still pretty hard to tell numbers even in the ballpark since the pricing for everything definitely is really weird. It's kind of like all those instances of money being mentioned are mutually exclusive but ... not at the same time. Yea, super weird.

Both Maya&Josy and Jill effectively exclude Quinn, so affinity is not the issue
Unlucky...

Usually on the release of a new chapter I have always made, or remade, a new run. This time I really wouldn't know what to do, the decision of the eighth takes the sense out of many possible runs. In the end I guess I'll have to make the always threatened but never realised "everyone hates Derek" a reality
