Idk, a fix always comes for those. Then again, I'm not one of those people that come on here each time there's a new episode all flabbergasted like "Oh jeez! Why game no work?". I also just use it for the built-in walkthrough and nothing else. It kind of ruins the experience to be able to see everything in one go.
I understand what I'm doing may break the game and that DPC specifically puts in anti-mod measures. There may come an episode where it can't be fixed anymore and I'll have to start all over again without the mod. I fully understand that. Shit, it might even happen in ep 9. I've been seriously considering whether I should try making new saves without the mod just in case. But ... as long as that doesn't happen, I'm just going to continue doing it. It just makes it a lot easier to play multiple playthroughs without having to remember every single choice you make so you don't make stupid deviations at some point. I'm kind of anal about that.
I don't use mods myself, don't see the need for me, and whenever I replay, I don't even use the skip button, but I'm a bit crazy about playing the game for the game. Still, I think for mod users, when Episode 9 gets out, maybe it'd be wise to wait for modders to do their job before opening the game, otherwise saves may be fucked. Only a supposition, of course.

Yeah of course, but that's why multiple runs is the way to go imo. Not only to get some great eroticisms, but also to get the full story. The DIK runs are super fun too.
That's the reason I played those runs and have so many saves, DPC has so many render variations for each choices and affinities, I want to experience them all.

Nah, I can't do that. I feel like I get fatigued from reading the same thing over and over again. It's like listening to the same over and over again until you don't like it anymore.
Oh dude, of course. I always wait on Sancho with the updated mods. Usually only takes him one or two weeks too. That's why I said I'm not one of the people complaining about the game not working lol. I know the drill.

I'd probably use Sanchos tool to un-mod the game then use that un-modded save to play the newest episode. Probably redo the latest episode using his mod to fix any dumb decisions you might make

True ... it has been a long time since ep 8. That sounds better than just waiting even longer.

Smoking weed and buying sex are vital scenes man. One of the best scenes in the game is with Quinn on the rooftop and those gloryhole ones are not too shabby either. Even though I tried to be as neutral as possible and not be a huge dick I still ended up as a massive DIK.
Taking the restaurant is probably going to cause trouble in main girl runs when the shit hits the fan. Regardless of that it's pretty easy to keep a neutral affinity by not fighting, it may go against what you would do in the circumstances but doesn't lose you any scenes. That's 5 chick choices off the bat, you can also refuse Derek's revenge and not cheat at the midterms. That would then be 8 dik choices and 7 chick choices so virtually completely neutral.

Fighting is fun though. I didn't che- I mean play my way through the brawler minigames to wimp out on a fight. Also throwing urine on the tri beta and Derek is hilarious.

What do you mean by restaurant?

Quinn's restaurant is where you buy sex.
Is the interlude just prologue?
It gives you the chance to shape Zoey's personality but also shows why she ghosted him and that Fuckface was wrong when he told Bella that she had a new boyfriend.

What Quinn offers in the 1st Episode, how you gain access to the gloryholes and prostitution.

I know I love fighting in the game too, kicking the ass of Caleb and Tommy being the most rewarding (Chad, while he acts like a jerk, I think will turn around in the future and even help us at some point), and yeah, that rooftop scene, throwing piss behind Derek's head, all those were memorable in my DIK and Neutral runs. For the Neutral run, you really just have to even major choices, but forget about Jill (understandably) and Quinn (also understandably), and if you want to try the throuple with Maya/Josy, you have to be at least Neutral Chick before the choice (because of Maya, Josy alone really is neutral), otherwise you're fucked, after that it's doesn't matter too much if you remain neutral only.

I should probably power through it then and try to resist the urge to fall asleep. Prologues really suck in my opinion.

Is it just me or would the game be better without mom's diary? That shit is fucking depressing which is not great in a porn game

True, but it's still fucking depressing and and overshadows the sex scenes somewhat
It adds to the mystery of MCs backstory, I suppose it will connect many dots in the future.

And, well, there's only 3 scenes about the diary... I know it didn't make me depressed, more curious than anything.

Honestly, if you're depressed by that, I'll reach into an hypothetical future, but the next 2 seasons could be very bleak and depressing at various points, DPC is the creator of Acting Lessons after all.

Never played acting lessons. Is it really that bad?

No, not bad, unless you think depressing is bad, I know it isn't the case for me.

In fact, one of my top5 LIs in all the AVNs I played is in that game (Melissa).

But let's just say at some point it becomes -very- dark.

Is it worse than someone completely innocent, full of life dying in childbirth and then having to go back and view their memories?

Yeah, absolutely. First game I cried, and I'm not even ashamed to say it.

That's why, to me, the only thing that saddens me so far in BaDIK is Quinns backstory, but there's nothing that comes near Acting Lessons... so far.

If you get the chance, download it, you'll understand :)
