Hmm, this reminded me of how someone pointed out how Quinn and Maya are basically Melissa split into two characters during the release of episode 3. Something like if Melissa was a spectrum of naive but fun, with one side being toxic and the other healthy, Quinn being the extremely toxic side, and Maya being the extremely healthy side. Josy is just Megan in a different font.
Finding all references and links in characters personalities, behaviours, life situations between this 2 games is a big and time-consuming job. As well as comparing the plot twists, writing, etc, knowing that author is the same. I tried to start, but I shelved this idea soon.
In AL, the only antagonist MC could romance was Leah. In BADIK, it's only Quinn, so far. But I have a feeling that there will be some kind of insidious surprise with one of the MGs. For certain reasons, Bella and Sage cause me such feelings.
Bella - because of an incomprehensible situation with her husband, a strange connection with Jill, and that closed damn room (hello Leah) and the MCs words in EP3 as the narrator of the story "But if I had known the real reasons to her tears, and to her persona... I wouldn't have kissed her that night. I would have called out for help." And what's even scarier, it's unclear, help for whom he meant that time - for her sake or for his own. We seen a scene, when she opens this room and looks inside only once, right after that particular scene in the library I mentioned above.
Sage - because of the constant feeling that something doesn't add up here. We know that she is not stupid, but on the contrary a very smart and insightful girl. This is in great contrast to the fact that she doesn't notice so much time (up to 2 years!) what's going on right under her nose, in particular what Quinn does and what her father does. Maybe it's just paranoia or waiting for a trick from where there really isn't one. Either the DPC is shitting us like that, forcing a drama like "She didn't know anything," but... when the drama is too obvious and predictable and you anticipate a certain denouement after a few episodes, this is a bad drama. We are all waiting for what will happen when she finds out about the Quinn and her adoptive father involvements in dark businesses and activities. But what if everything is completely different? Or not so unambiguously, at least. Breaking expectations and predictable outcomes is so exciting. I am haunted by the "HOTs secret code", both Sage and Quinn mentioned it, but never told MC what it implies. Quinn noted (the cafeteria scene in EP6, if you choose to have lunch with Sage & Quinn rather than with J&M) which she might have told MC, but only if he wasn't Maya's Ken. Sage did not respond to this and did not react in any way.
My point is that in AL we didn't have a single fucking chance to somehow suspect something was wrong in principle and Leah in particular. Only later all evidences fall like snow on players head. That she was constantly around, taking pictures, watching out the windows, even hiding in the closet and stealing personal belongings, not to mention the time MC spent in the hospital. Quinn is too obvious target to be a Leah replacement. She is more of a type, like, an antagonistic sexually attractive character and a classic bad girl (very bad), which is made in very blatant way. But hidden evil maybe somewhere else as well. We'll wait and see.
Holy shit! Now that I'm thinking about it, Rox and Melissa's stepfather have a similar model, possibly even Stephen Burke. Just slimmed down and altered. I'm too lazy to look over them, but can someone see if I'm imagining things or not?
For the sake of God don't show this to dalli_x
well, seems it's too late...
He already generates a bunch of new theories ->
My good the joke is such that in the past have accumulated more than 20 years of experience with Poser, Daz3D, Blender, 3D Max, Gimp, Photoshop, etc.. I have also modified games.
OMFG. I don't know whether to rejoice or grieve... If DPC will abandon BADIK or accidently, unexpectedly die, then you will save our sinful asses, right, dalli_x? BUT, would you guys, personally, grab such a lifeline? It's like making a deal with the devil out of desperation. You realize that you've already lost, but you do it anyway, knowing that it will only get worse 
I am seriously afraid to even imagine the development of the plot in this case. On the other hand, if all of the of DPCs endings will out shitty (and we won't die before the DPC, waiting for the last episode since some of us are already old men), especially the J&M ones, then we know who to ask for mods It's a good news (with a grain bag of salt).
Whatever it was, May God rest your souls, brothers.
Since Sage's route is not a landmine but a real walking nuclear bomb, I believe that Sage and the MC will become even closer from season 3 onwards. Sage's route has many trials that the MC must go through. If the right cards are played, Sage will realize that the MC (whether romance with Sage or just friendship) was her one true friend throughout her entire stay at B&R. If Sage had a crush on the MC before, that crush will definitely escalate after all is said and done.
Well said. If the DPC didn't plan anything bad for her, then this is a plausible scenario. If she doesn't find out the truth about the background of her family (at least her father) and the truth about Quinn, then I don't see a reasonable and plausible happy end for this couple. It's her last year in B&R and MC will have to deal with her family then, Quinn should become a president of HOTs, etc.
Her adopted family, while they are not the best parents in the world, saved her and got a much better life, she would have otherwise. So reveal of what is going on in real there could be a huge blow to her. We also don't know exactly what's there with her birth parents (mother especially). Then a Quinn, whom she trusted like a sister and invested so much, on the other side. So, yeah, MCs place in her life will be cemented since after then. A best friends or a best boyfriend, it depends.
