The DIK MC is only going to be subject to blackmail if he revealed to the DIKs that he banged Jade, and if he fucks Sarah in the closet where the camera is, both of which are decisions unrelated to the DIK/CHICK scale, and have no impact upon MC's overall personality.Playing a path. MJ.
I actually write almost nothing about AL, precisely because I've never played it. However, every now and then others write about AL here in the thread. The joke of it is so that I myself, just before DPC's Q&A 2023 Part 1 came out, wrote so that I got the crucial insight about DPC from these AL posts in this thread and therefore see no need to play AL. Some may have laughed or frowned at this. But DPC a few hours later, confirmed my realization about him that had through AL's posts. Follow my lead.
I never wrote so the MC doesn't have control over what he wants.
DPC is showing a pattern of behavior with Quinn and that is not speculation. She is deceiving the people who were presented to us as her friends. Riona, Sage, Tommy and possibly in the past Vinny. This is not a speculation, but a factual one, which is canonical. Ergo, a pattern of behavior. Because it is canonical, it doesn't matter if I play DIK, THIN, NEUTRAL or CHICK. Likewise, it doesn't matter if I play every path or just one. Quinn's behavior pattern towards her friends remains the same. Based on that, you can conclude what could happen to the MC as well, but doesn't have to.
You are now alluding to the fact that I wrote that a DIK MC can be manipulated. Why? In order to get or to keep the DIK affinity, decisions must be made, which can make the MC in the later blackmailable and thus the manipulation of a person arises. Now comes something canonical again. When Quinn interrupted Tommy and Christy fucking, one of the things Quinn says to Tommy is so Vinny could have Tommy in his hand now because he buys from Vinny. This is a train of thought on Quinn's part and thus it is fair to ask if she could do this to others or perhaps has already done so, only we don't know about it yet.
A CHICK MC can escape almost anything that might make him susceptible to blackmail. Ergo, the probability of manipulation is much lower. Yes, a CHICK MC can't fuck all the girls. Ever thought about it so that there are players who play BaDIK for a reason other than to fuck all the girls in the game?
And Quinn is for that matter more interested in MC than she wants to let on, just take the example of how she cuddles up with MC when he gets high and passes out on her bed after hanging out with her, there's no reason for such behavior if Quinn simply sees MC as a mark to be used.
I think a lot of how Quinn interacts with MC and if she will actually trust him and open up to him will depend on if he successfully met her challenge in E9, whether MC made out with Rio in the movie theater in E9 might also have a significant impact, since the dialogue involved implies that MC wants a relationship with her, and that she's considering leaving Quinn's restaurant for MC, both of which can (most likely will) have a negative impact on Quinn's business, and could potentially also undermine Quinn's trust in MC.
