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

[sampow]

I've never been able to get that scene with her. No matter what, she will always calmly explain to my MC that they just don't fit together. I think you have to do some really bad things for her to do that.

If the mc run's to the restaurant and Jill dumps him there, no matter what you've done, the scene plays out the same except for like one or two lines of her reasoning depending on your actions: If the mc didn't go on the picnic with her, she'll say "But...the spark's not there for me", otherwise she'll say "But...you're not what I'm looking for" (typically to a DIK mc).

It's still a very public dumping where the mc is asking for another chance and she's just shooting him down. At least when the mc dumped her they were alone on a bench.

Some here prefer the term "entrepreneur".

Why do people talk shit about Quinn and her prostitution and drug ring? Or about Riona's reputation for sucking cocks? Or about Maya and Josy's Walmart lebianism? Or about Sage's promiscuous side with the MC? Or about the age difference between Bella and the MC? We should just all unite and bully those who like naive little goblin princesses instead.

to be born good. because overcoming your evil nature is great for you, but it doesn't unharm all the people who have suffered at your expense. if you didn't have to overcome your evil nature, fewer people would have been harmed in the first place.



what is so interesting about quinn? the others are more realistic characters. quinn isn't interesting just because she's a drug trafficking madame lol. are you just one of those people who likes it when people add tons of negative characteristics to a character because you think it makes them deeper somehow? lol.

Man this guy is actually trolling.
Lots of things in this game arent realistic but more of a fantasy if anything.
The fact Quinn deals drugs is more realistic than anything shown in this game

I have read people claiming she yells at you the same way she does with Tybalt. That has never happened to me at the restaurant. And while it was in public it wasn't that much of a big deal, the version I got. No big scene or anything.

 

[JJ1960]

All the other girls virtually dive into the mc's lap.

Many of them face-first, god bless 'em.

And thanks for the links to the previous progressions. I hadn't seem some of those.

 

[Zariaswell]

So what are the news ?

 

[Lightaces]

...quinn is a sex trafficker, madame, thief, and drug trafficker.

In no way is she a sex trafficker - she has not transported anyone anywhere. A pimp? Sure, maybe. A thief? Well, it sure looks like she is thinking of stealing Josy's jacket, and so it seems likely. A drug dealer? Absolutely. But NOT a sex trafficker.

 

[Vixen ♀]

Like 90% sure. There's another option, the 10%, I've in mind: the Vixens

Quite the odds you'd think but oh gawd, it's been a while since I've heard here only a year later. Felt like back then when DPC teased us and even with the codename literally for Episode 9 thinking it would spark plot twist so hard that they are a wild card to MC on becoming true ultimate DIK or just maybe he’s not as innocent as he seems. I still don't know if there was much significant on this part as some focused on Zoey to a comeback and others LI.

Shout out if there is crumbles leftovers, what do we know exactly so far about Vixens? Any particular talks about Tiffany, Tara, Clara, Kylie and Gina?

I don't want to go into much depth because it would derail from the central topic of this thread, but what does "to be born good" even mean? Is that even a real thing? Do you actually think that concepts such as good or evil can relate to a newborn?

 

[StultusAnglicus]

[Sage] covers [for] Bella & MC ass at the best costume competition. I think she is one of a few persons whom will be ok to find out and accept the fact that MC & Bella in relationships.

You know I am hoping for this too, especially since she always neds up friends with MC.

what is so interesting about quinn?
quinn isn't interesting just because she's a drug trafficking madame lol.

Buddy, Pal, Friend. Calm down.
I'm not a huge advocate for Quinn but this is a bit much, no? We get it, you hate Quinn. That's fine, I'm not saying you can't. But dial it down a bit, multiple comments in one day adding nothing new to the debate other than you think she is a sack of rotten potatoes, not even a meme or two to spice things up. It isn't very interesting.



Moving on, has anybody thought about the possibility that MC's maternal grandparents are no long rich? I mean we know they bought a dilapidated hotel for rennovation, that appears to keep needing more work than initially thought. We don't know what brought them wealth in the first place be it a career that could have failed or old money that could've dried up? Coupled with the small inheritance?

 

[Deleted member 1044901]

What?! Is Vixen really a thing? I thought it was just the name of the episode. Who are the Vixens? Is it a group?

Call it a hunch, but I doubt it.
Considering that new windows for an entire building was up for grabs for just $65. Or when you pay for Maya's meal in the beginning for only $1? Or lap dances for only $3?

Who knows what a $5K inheritance really adds up to?
With economics from DPC like that, that could mean $5K = $25K? or more? it's a mystery if you ask me.

 

[lipe2410]

So what are the news ?

Everton escape from championship one more season.

 

[Tremonia]

Really? The Vixens are those sluts from the dorms. Gina, Avery, Tara, Beth, Tiffany, Clara, Kylie. I think I forgot one. Becky may be a part of them.

Yeah, it's a hyperbolic reaction (I'm guilty of it too). But she really, really destroys Tybalt. She tells him some home truths that are long over due and she puts her foot down hard. He's reduced to the foetal position by the end of it. Whereas for the mc it's just a bit of public humiliation.

In no way is she a sex trafficker - she has not transported anyone anywhere. A pimp? Sure, maybe. A thief? Well, it sure looks like she is thinking of stealing Josy's jacket, and so it seems likely. A drug dealer? Absolutely. But NOT a sex trafficker.

Sex trafficker doesn't necessarily mean she transports girls across country, but that's usually the image the term elicits. Actual definition of sex trafficking:

The term "sex trafficking" refers to criminal activity whereby one or more persons are subjected to engaging in commercial sexual activity through the use of force, fraud, or coercion.​

Sure Quinn "coerces" the girls into it, but really she's just offering it to them. Even when Mona backs out, she doesn't try to force her back in, she just wants to make sure she keeps her mouth shut about it. So yeah, Pimp is a more appropriate term.

Don't confuse the two currencies. The $5K is probably a real $5K, whereas the pocket money is a separate game currency, and so are the mansion repair and party planning currencies.

When the mc considers giving the money to Maya to pay for her degree, he notes that it'd probably only cover a semester. That sounds kinda realistic since she's doing some sort of social work degree. Obviously the other currencies do not make real sense in the world. Not sure why DPC opted to do that...

I don't know if I wanna see the mc's grandparents in the story...

Sluts? Ooof!

Are these random bitches the Vixens? How did the DPC dedicate the name of the episode to these useless hoes? That's why I didn't even know Vixen was actually a thing. Should they be a threat? Feminists seem to be scarier than they are.

 

[SomboSteel]

i dont see how quinn is at all likeable. she is a psychopath. chaotic evil. lawful evil at best.

she is one of the better written and more complex characters in the game. she also has been getting consistent growth in her arc on a per episode basis that would make the main girls jealous. i dont necessarily like her as a person, but i definitely like her as a character in the story

 

[STNeish]

I think Quinn's appeal has several layers.

First, she's physically attractive. Part of this is a unique and dynamic personal style.
Second, she's unapologetically sensual. She likes sex, and is happy to indulge in it.
Third, she's a powerful personality, taking charge of situations and showing strength of character when facing adversity. Some men like dainty women who need them, other men like strong women who are more challenging.
Fourth, she's in over her head. I call this the "White Knight" effect. I believe men have an evolutionary drive to protect the female. Many, even most of us, love the idea of coming to the rescue of the damsel in distress. As with HARLEY Quinn, this Quinn is in a bad situation and we want to rescue her from it... even though she made it happen to herself (with Joker, Harley is trapped in a situation not of her making, unlike BaDik's Quinn).

These are the core attributes, I think... at least for me.

Quinn has no redeeming qualities. A sad backstory does not justify evil actions to others. You can have a complex character with a redemption arc without making them a complete piece of shit.

I find Quinn interesting in that she plays differently depending on what track you are on. For MJ, she is the cause of most of Maya's worries about whether she can stay in college, and is what is stopping her from moving in to the HOTs house and saving the money she has to spend on dorm fees. The fact that Josy doesn't have a problem being in the HOTs house with Quinn there drives a wedge between her and Maya on every track. In Sage's track, she's the duplicitous backstabber threatening everything Sage has done to make the HOTs successful even though Sage trusts her to do the right thing for the girls in the sorority, yet another of Sage's blind spots that potentially will bring her down as well if something goes wrong with Quinn's business ventures. If MC is on either of these tracks he's going to get pulled in and possibly down by Quinn's actions. Quinn doesn't have much of a role in the Jill or Bella paths other than causing background chaos, and neither of them are going to be in your path unless you are CHICK/Neutral which Quinn hates. That may play a factor later on when Quinn sets you up to take the fall for something she's done, or doesn't warn you about something that's about to go down, perhaps having to do with Vinny. For MC on a DIK path she can become a totally different character as her attraction to MC grows and she begins opening up, something she never does with any guy, and there can be a real relationship with her. Very well written and an intriguing component to the story.
