Sure there’s always a chance, personally I’ll consider it impossible until it happens. I mean the game of course has plenty of porn logic woven into it in order to work.

(The MC has a giant cock, perfect abs, and can successfully seduce any target he sets his eyes on if he does the right thing. In addition he’s the second coming of Bruce Lee and makes money from puzzles on his phone).

I also gets the sense that DPC wants his writing to be taken seriously, and that he has at least to my mind, gone out of his way to make the LI paths be somewhat credible.

Add to this that the full on DIK path already gives you all of those things in droves.
But if we ever get that scene I hope Sage will be like : Hmm this Jillybean tastes like fucking vanilla, hey Fuckface, pour some whisky on her pussy, and maaaybe I’ll give you a 4 out of 5” * Quick zoom in on Jill covering her mouth while she lets out an “Oh my” .

too late to be taken REALLY seriously (the loan, Bella going to sleep at the DIK house a few days after Cathe's scandal, Quinn's genius plans, Sage still trusting Quinn in spite of everything....).

by now it has to settle for being more or less believable....

doesn't have to be something definitive, but a wild card, a gift to players, or even a trap for a game over too tempting to think twice about.

so why when i decided to fight Tommy I got a DIK affinity when i made 6 Dik Choices (including to fight Tommy) and 4 chick choices? is it because I made like 4 DIK choices in a row?

It's a balance thing, at that point you're 60% DIK, at 7 - 5 it's 58%. I think it's something like 0-40% = CHICK, 41-59% = NEUTRAL, 60-100% = DIK. It's deliberately difficult to keep a NEUTRAL affinity as it's the only affinity that maximizes the girl choices, the restaurant girls aren't interested in a CHICK, it's only Quinn who is locked out of neutral. Throuple and Jill are locked out from DIK affinity.

There’s a quote from Stephen King that I like to use as a crutch to explain this kinda thing… obviously it’s being magnified through the lens that is porn logic but;

“Pop culture writing is about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances. Literature is about extraordinary people in ordinary circumstances.”

I *personally* think DPC is aiming for the former. He’s aiming for “ordinary people” in extraordinary situations + porn. No it isn’t iron clad but the characters are relatively grounded and just being put through (almost laughably) extraordinary situations.

No it isn’t realistic at all, no the “extraordinary situations” don’t really hold water but I (again, personally) find some level of amusement in seeing these relatively normal people deal with these extraordinary situations. That’s what I’m here for. The absurd situations just have to be taken with a pinch of salt to enjoy the meat of this which is how the characters behave and how our input changes that.

Just my take on this… my brief peek above the parapet.

Quick question: I used to jump on once a week or so and search for anything posted by N7 to get the latest updates, but they haven't posted in a while and I know there have been other updates and previews. Is there a key forum figure that I should be looking up instead these days? Thanks brothers.

People seem to jumping in before N7 recently, check around Friday afternoon and it'll have been posted and with people quoting it then it shouldn't be too difficult to find on the day.

You know what, I intentionally pursued a Sage-only (meaning = rejecting everybody except her) DIK path and I ended up being locked into a permanent NEUTRAL affinity at the end of episode 8 :LOL:.

Easiest way for a NEUTRAL path: reject every side girl and every main Love interest but 1 (Josy and Maya count as one).

Is Bella on pills in S02? I mean she was not active sexually for a long time, so may be not??

I don't think it's ever been mentioned, however if you're wondering about the pregnancy test it's not hers, it comes up even if you don't get laid at all (attempted dedicated Jill path but helped sick Sage for example).

SanchoNote:

Since I'm a nice guy and all, while I'm in the final prep of updating SanchoMod to the latest core and bringing it all to S2 v0.8.3 (with additional features and tweaks) I'll do you folks that play completely un-modded a solid.

So, you want the missing songs back that were removed from v0.8.3?

Of course you do.

I'll be releasing a fix for that separately for folks that don't use a mod at all. It'll be incorporated by default in SanchoMod.... BUT you all need to do one thing (since I am not a supplier), you need to grab the old "music_ep1.rpa" file from your v0.8.2 build. It's the single one file you need. I'll do the rest. More deets coming soon.

Regards.

Edit: I forgot to post a teaser... so here's one with the mod up and the original music in place:

I agree wholeheartedly which is why this game has become my little “guilty pleasure erotic/ romance/ witty/ nostalgic youth novel”. I’m not particularly excited for the sex scenes, even though that was what originally peaked my interest. I’ve become heavily invested in the story(ies), and that’s what I’m excited to see play out.
