VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[Takkatakka]

Well you can believe what you want but the hints are there and always were at least for the people who are on her good side and chose her path basically, she doesn't seem narcissistic at all, maybe an arrogant and much less a psychopath.

Just because you don't like her doesn't mean everyone shouldn't like her either lol, everyone is free to play the game however they want it.

She is literally written as a narcissistic psychopath. She potentially can change during the story, but as of the end of Ep. 9 she is a narcissistic psychopath.

She underestimates danger (her whole criminal "empire", including getting mugged). Manipulates and uses others for her own gain without remorse (pimping out her "friends"). She sees any show of feelings and affection as weakness and consequently suppresses her own (sitting with her on the bench, just as one of many examples). If her friends question her, she doesn't reflect about what they are saying, she immediately takes them down on a personal level (telling Riona that she will never finish college, even though she had no problems passing classes so far) and/or lies about them (Riona's alleged free-loading).

Just look at the costume competition in Ep. 9. Literally EVERY pick of hers is just to humiliate or mock someone.

All that has nothing to do with me liking or not liking her. She is probably one of the most interesting and best written characters in the whole game, but she is still an evil character and for most paths one of the antagonists of the MC....again AS OF EP. 9. And yes, her "path" might hint towards her changing a bit if the MC goes down that path.

Is there a Josy only path? Dont really want Maya involved

After this question is asked 1312nd times: no, there's no Josy path. Maybe there will be a chance to get her alone in the future but not now.

That's all old news, most of that info comes from the scene with the fight between Jade and Stephan, the one when Jade throws a photo frame to Stephen, but there's some additional info in other scenes iirc...

I recently did a slow playthrough of EP1~8 (nothing skipped but wasn't doing a Bella route), and I guess I must have still missed any mention of Stephen actually kissing Bella. The fight between Jade and Stephen at the start of EP3 definitely did not indicate a kiss though. The scene indicates that Stephen might have propositioned Bella for something, but he was definitely unsuccessful.

Was there another scene somewhere where Bella actually says she kissed Stephen? If there was, then I might have missed it. Bella's probably the only perspective I would trust in the matter and I doubt Bella would misremember a kiss (like a "Sandor kissed Sansa" situation).

 

[Ilhares]

They share a necklace. No way that isn’t Bianca’s mother.

Oh, no, full agreement on that point. Miranda is definitely her mother. I'm just debating on the Madame angle now. Is it Vivian, or did he really waste effort on an old hag for no good reason?

I like her personality, she's confident, flirty and honest. I also like her dynamic with her bff Mel. But to me she isn't as pretty as most other girls. I wish I weren't so shallow, but that's my truth, as Jill would say

This from somebody with Wanda as their profile image?

I'm in a similar boat, though. I enjoy Sarah's general personality, but the looks just don't draw me in. She looks like Sibel Kekilli to me, so while the porn was.. interesting, it still wasn't that good. When they landed her to play Shae on GoT I was extremely amused.

Mel, on the other hand, gets my mull approval. She's been down for pretty much everything, including the shower surprise MC can give her. How can you not love a care-free all-access kind of woman?

We never see it happening, there's the info from the Stephen/Jade fight and then i think when staying with Bella after Josy arrives, there's some more info from Bella's points of view... Iirc she regretted that kiss for the usual reason (James/guilt)
But like many hints DPC gives us, the devil is in the details... It's in conversations but it's easy enough to mis...

But there should be something like Bella saying to avoid social meetings (including alcohol) with the Burke's because of that kiss... (other hints Cathy is either with Jade or with Bella, outside of school Jade avoids Bella)

Staying with Bella also gives a conversation between MC and Jill ; strange that door is locked.... We learn there Jill knows the exact situation between Bella and James, however she tells MC "it's not her place to tell." (so whatever the theories are, it's clear Bella is free to pursue a relation with MC, otherwise Jill would have intervened in some way...)

 

[Assassin696987]

hey im having an issue where right at the beginning where the black guy says "its a scary fucking mansion" the game just closes itself. idk if anyone else has this issue or not but i have tried uninstalling the game and still not working.

On a side note... God I hate the "my truth" thing... with a fucking passion.

But I think that is why some people like Sarah. In terms of physical attractiveness, she's the plainest looking HOT but she's also the most confident and the most wild. That combination can be really sexy.

Not for me though. She's not my type looks or personality-wise.

Haha Mel is indeed beautiful - tanned skin and light-colored eyes.
Regarding Wanda, I agree she's not really beautiful but that's just exactly why I chose her: I don't want to become immune to a true beauty by always seeing her face. Also, I really liked Wanda's scenes so it's one of the reasons I picked her for my profile.

 

[zaqrwe]

Yep, I'll agree with that. Fuck it then, I'll quote him back to answer:

You can't miss it. Talk to Quinn during the second free roam.

Time for a whiskey... y'all gonna drive me insane

Oh.. I think I misinterpreted lol.. first post I saw had this weird Derek image with big belly and I thought this was also part of the episode. Nevermind then

 

[rvm]

I remember the MC saying that the box came with the stuff from the hotel, so why would Vinny want that, doesn t make any sense.

in ep.8 (freeroam n. 31) Mc said "the box was among the parts he salvaged"; so it was already there in Vinny's old room..

Not everybody has that problem, but by now i think you are number 547 in this thread to mention it.
The people that have that crash problem or sometimes looping scenes, all use modded saves, it's the cheatmod detection that causes these problems. Each new update there's a ton people experiencing it....

Now for solutions, first advice don't use saves after changing major events with mods, second use updated mods...
Third it's always good to read the first page of threads, if you do you'll see a warning for mods (can break your game), Mods, Several save files, fixes, walkthrough's, pretty much anything but DPC's telephone number....

The modfix should probably fix your problem, alternative use the unmodded save files, Have fun!

 

[alex13_zen]

It's one of DPC's tripwires for modded saves, he doesn't like mods. Try using the save fixer under the extras spoiler in the OP.

Not sure what's going on, but I imported at least 2 modded saves and was able to finish ep9 without any problems.

 

[alex13_zen]

Might depend on which mod, I know Sancho's wasn't tripwired but Scrappy's was, basically the game detected one of Scrappy's files and sent the game into the loop.

Weird, I'm actually using Scarppy's. Just like with some girls branches, conditions here seem to be more complex

The detection checks for contradicting checks, you can't be in a relation with Maya/Josy if you went with Jade (or Burke has the sex vid) so it's not so much scrappymod is detected but sanchomod might be leaving less contradictive checks after changing?
Best just not make saves after altering events, i use scrappymod and never experienced any problems....

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Somewhat DIK related question: I heard somewhere that Tremolo will stop uploading BaDIK songs on Youtube(Ep9 being his last).
Anyone know the reasons?

It was a drama from nothing (I hate nothing, its made Rio sad), Tremolo has already released an update. His reluctance to continue after Episode 9 is based on personal beliefs.

But the snowflakes on Reddit community have gone berserk and are ready to cancel the DPC until the post is removed.

[Zoomaa]

guys what do you think the future of Zoey would be ??

she is a cool character but introducing her after choosing LI to pursue is weird I assume she is not going to be a LI is the mc going to cheat on the current LI with her or is she going to be best friend but that seat is taken by Derek , she probably joins the university it makes the plot easier for her to meet the MC more also THE DIK members seem to like her is she going to date one of them because that won't be awkward right ???

Depends, if you are playing on the alone path, you ain't cheating if you want to give it a second chance.
But it makes sense bringing her in now, just add to the drama that she appears right when people decide to commit to someone.
Overall, I'm interested to see where the story goes with her, on friend and Li routes.

I don't see Zoe dating anyone. The NTR crowd would explode, implode or something...

DPC has a thing for blue-haired landmine characters.
