But then again, it only works when his math logic is constant. I just redid the mid-term math part in episode 8 and one of the questions (no 3) went against the logic he used previously. Without something to establish the new rules, it becomes impossible to solve. And I think I remember there has been a previous one that also didn't really work.
Yeah, I meant to say I usually like solving the math ones, but at times, no matter how I stare at it, it doesn't make sense. I can't quote which ones they are, but it's in the episodes /where Cathy is jumping ahead and the character think it's too hard/. I have to guess or look at a guide for the correct answer since I just can't see some of them. But, again, it's a pity they're being done away with. English I could do without.

I think it’s Arieth. At the time he was a mislead for us to think it was Sage’s dad.
Could be, he seems somewhat important, as the preps seem to want to impress him. But yeah, I remember that time I played the episode for the first time, I tought it was Sage's dad. :D

I said it a year ago on this thread I find this game utterly unplayable without a mod. For all the popularity BaDIK has and for all of the amazing renders and features the game posesses, the base DIK/CHICK system is the most egregiously awful i've ever seen. It limits your options to a degree where not only do you miss a ton of content but you also can't really make the MC express himself the way you want to because your score in whichever direction isn't high enough.
Exactly this. This game limits you if u play without a mod and it sucks. I get that DPC did so to get players to play the game multiple times and such which is cool if you're down for that but I'm not. Anyone who has a problem with me using mods needs to get a life honestly. I mean it's my game I can play it however I want.
Or limitations with the scenes that I find absurd. For example, I find stupid to be forced to choose between taking care of Sage when she's with flu and going to a picnic with Jill. IRL, MC would do both, for sure.
The Chik/Dik system is cool and I don't mind it but that's only because I'm playing with a mod. Without it the system would suck ass. Like in the beginning of episode 1 if you're more of a chik u can't push Chad, u can only call for security like a little bitch and If you're more on the dik side u can't hug Maya. simple shit like that is effected by this system so I'd rather not play this game again without a mod.
People are free to use mods if they want to, it's no skin of my nose. But I've got to stick up for the game mechanics a bit in the face of the above criticism. It seems to me the common thread in these complaints is that the unmodded game limits a player's choices. I can understand that if your goal is just to unlock all scenes as quickly as possible then those limits would be frustrating, but if you want to actually play the game in a way that makes the MC a reasonably consistent character whose choices have consequences for the world around him as well as himself, those limits are surely a necessary part of the process.

The DIK/CHICK system is meant to be an approximation of mood and personality. It is far from perfect, of course, and can't ever hope to convey the complexities of a real person's attitude. But there is a logic to the idea that a character who makes certain choices would lean in a certain direction, personality-wise, and respond to situations accordingly, that such a character would be more or less attractive to other characters as a result, and that the choices he makes would open some doors and close others.

If you're reading the situations and the dialogue and thinking about the choices, then some of the limits mentioned above shouldn't be coming as a surprise, in my view, because they mostly make sense within the framework of the game and the personality you've shaped for the MC with choices. A CHICK MC is less likely to want to respond to a situation aggressively, a DIK MC is less likely to want to hug a friend. Of course, we know real people are more complicated than that, but as a rough sketch it's not so unrealistic. I also don't think the choice about whether to go with Jill or take care of Sage is such a far-fetched dilemma the way it's presented, and the consequences of that choice seem about right to me, knowing what we know about Jill's personality in particular.

Each to their own, and mods can certainly have value sometimes, but I get a lot of satisfaction out of knowing the game takes note of my choices and unfolds differently because of them.

Yeah, those ones where crazy hard and I remember not understanding some of them too. But I'll miss them because they were fun doing. But I guess it gets harder to make new different ones. I wish he changed the English ones instead.

- I have 6 saves with MJ. I like all the other girls, but I don't want them as girlfriends for my MC. For me, Josy and Maya are the perfect choice. As I wrote a long time ago, I play goal-oriented.

- I didn't really mean the confrontation with Tommy about Josy. While that's definitely going to happen, I don't think it's going to be that bad. No, the big confrontation with Tommy will be about his position if Tommy doesn't change his personality because Tommy and the MC keep clashing.

- I play BaDIK the way I would decide in real life and don't force myself to decide against my personality just to unlock all of the game's content. No, just because of a few pictures, I'm not unfaithful to myself.

- I actually think two costumes are great. Riona's and Elena's. I always have to think twice when making a decision. Lily's costume is great too. But Maya's see-through skirt is also awesome. No idea.

- Quinn is definitely impressed by Lily in EP9 and I think Lily tells Quinn that HOT's sisters should be there for each other. But like I wrote before, I think Quinn is screwing Tommy on the roof. She found out from the MC that Tommy wouldn't be able to hold out and would give up when things got a little harder. He's not someone you can rely on.

- Vinny is still a mystery to me because of that sentence. "Easy there, boy. You're gonna hurt my feelings." Derek said something similar to the MC in EP4 on his branch. Also in EP9, Vinny walks behind Derek into Rusty's room while Derek is talking about his Fanny Bullets. As Vinny says this, he even puts on a relatively friendly face. To be honest I think that's why Vinny went to the Mansion specifically for the MC and just happened to see the Pink Rose Girls on the way. My feeling tells me that Vinny wants to check out the MC if he has what it takes to stand up to Tommy. Tommy and Vinny hate each other, that's what it says in my bios. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
So you think Vinny and Derek are related? I don't know if i can take seriously another family twist, but i can see it happening, hence why the camera in Derek's room (it was Vinny who put it there, or the blue eyed girl from the others route, or the preps)
I definitely like Tommy though, so i wouldn't help Vinny to take him down, Tommy also doesnt strike me as a villain, Vinny is the one doing fucked up shit, unless i found out Tommy is planning to start a new drug cartel with Quinn, he is harmless to me and i won't stop liking him.

Is there a way to stay fuck buddy with Sage if choosing not to date her? Can you avoid telling her you want more?
with Sage you have three paths:
- you accept to be her fuckbuddy and then you have to go through the "rebound guy" crisis
- you refuse to be her fuckbuddy and only accept her proposal after she breaks up with Chad (so no rebound guy whining)
- reject her both as fuckbuddy and after her breakup with Chad and wait for the next opportunity, which judging by her words will be there
