I have a feeling Chad may actually become an unlikely ally in some respect. Without spoiling, there's a potential for a story arc where you can side with him.
Yeah, remember Jill's life has been hugely sheltered and her family has probably controlled her social life including dating.
This could be the reason why she fell in love with him. All the previous guys who approached her were rich snobs, only her status was important to them. And given that Jill lived in a sterile bubble, she fell with the "white knight" very easily.
I believe it's yet another writing inaccuracy from DPC.
I do feel the same way. especially when you defend him in front of burke. I feel like he doesn't have any resentment towards MC fucking sage.
Yet she dumps his ass if he didn't go to the picnic. For anyone new that is wondering why people are harsh on Jill, this right here, the MC makes grander than life gestures that would be the apex of any RomCom movies and they are all regarded as less important because DPC didn't think through his choice/pathing and morality systems beforehand and now he is stuck doubling down to keep it consistent.
About Interlude drama- based. This whining about "bad and unnecessary Zoey" or "MUH Interlude" is very tired. When the DPC introduced her in Episode 3 during a flashback with Bella, I realized how important she is to Tremolo's world and how she helped build his inner self, get out of the bottom. Without Zoey, he would have ended up as a bullied sociophobe in isolation or a school shooter. Even then it was clear that Zoey would be Chekhov's gun.
we discuss jill the most because she's by far the lamest LI ingame. most sidechicks are better than her. then you add her face and teeth into the discussion and that's about it. she's a fantasy for every guy who's never been with a chick but still lives in a fantasy that a jill will come into his life and marry him.
There are no Love Interests' paths till you make the final choice in episode 8. Until then it depends on your affinity and right/wrong choices.
Oh, ok. I guess MC is spending more time with Maya more in my current run.
I see, thanks for the tip.
You know what, I honestly think that if BaDIK were one of those hentai dating sim where there are a true route, some good routes and some bad routes, Jill's would be the true route.
Probably, since she's the only one at the moment who has an actual VA. Bella might be the cover girl, but Jill is way more popular.
I don't know man, I avoid anything anime looking, the look of it just freaks me out
my affinity is shuffling from DIK to neutral every now and then so I happen to get the “right” paths for now, e.g. fucking Sage, dating Jill, dating J&M
Heh, I remember those dating sims from the early 2000s where there’s one true ending with multiple side endings but at least now you can have multiple save points for different routes.
Save often and keep many saves. Have a look at the walkthrough because there are quite a few key choices.
I completely agree, it's a quite sad and restricted scenario, but authors have to sell a product on Patreon at the end ("supporting an artist" is not really the actual approach of most people in the adult Visual Novels world). Remaining on BaD, I find that this problem afflicts heavily the credibility of the plot, but also restricts deeply DPC in the events that he can develop if MC cheats on a girl or does not play his cards in the right way. A formidable opponent to beat to get Sage or Jill would have led me to better ponder all the choices in their respective paths. Now I take it for granted that the obstacles are all under my control and in order to lose a girl I really have to commit myself to fail almost every move.
I would argue he should avoid walkthroughs/mods in his first 'blind' run, you get the most out of the experience that way, imo. You have all the time in the world between releases to make your 'perfect routes' saves after that.
Well, even if in that case Sage was a bad route, I would always prefer her over goody-two-shoes posh goblin, or over the rest of the girls in this matter.
Typically, the "main" love interest is introduced as either first, or the last, since that's characters who are almost guaranteed to get most of the player's/reader's attention. So i'd say it's a tie of sorts between Josy+Maya and Jill in this regard. People who go for the "first" and the ones who go for the "last" character are also somewhat different groups.
