VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[ChipLecsap]

Because from a gaming perspective we spend more time with Derek, but really if we're immersed in the BaDIK timeline, how long have we been with Derek? 6-8 weeks? He is a completely new friend, yes he is a good friend (sorry Felice) and has helped the MC many times... But Zoey is his friend for several years, the first real one and she helped him become a more or less normal person, and not just another school shooter.
And the reason we see so little of it is the script errors in the Interlude with San Diego and those unnecessary statists from the tattoo parlor.
Zoey attitude in Ep.9 depends on your playground - how you're played her in the Interlude, my Zoey kicks the firefighter douche in the balls and just asks MC to be more careful In the most routes, I also saw chick Zoey.
And ofc:

Wel,, true a " Dik Zoey " a bit more entertaining, but in the end she just a Deus ex machina.
The creator of the game decided it for us, While he learned from the Liam mistake, "here is you best friend", when it's come to derek, and build up the friendship. He made the same mistake with Zoey.

She should have never come back, and should been just a memory, as she was in episode 2

Does your dialogue change if you go with neutral aff and DIK status vs DIK aff and status? Just wondering what's better for a full Sage route.

CHICK MC and NEUTRAL MC have the same dialogs. It's not worth sitting on the fence, choose between CHICK or DIK.

Even with DIK status? That's a bummer. I don't like the CHICK dialogue but there are a lot of DIK choices I wouldn't voluntarily pick.

 

[ChipLecsap]

Yeah. The guy has some issues, can be an idiot (like when he snapped that inappropriate photo of Cathy in class). And he also is overly protective of Maya. All right. But I still like him and have not felt really pissed by anything he's done, TBH.

Wel,, he has his fault. While he play the Big Brother with Maya when its comes to MC, it's us and others who has to run around and Help Maya, whereas her brother cleary don't do enough for her

Some dialogs are based on affinity and others on status. That's why I said don't sit on the fence. Create an MC full DIK (affinity and status) or full CHICK (affinity and status).

 

[ChipLecsap]

My CHICK MC is not beta male. He chose Derek as his best friend over Zoey.

Yeah but you are bit like Dalix, you interpreting things for your own way. Like our conversation about Damon

But a DIK MC suits Quinn better than a NEUTRAL.

Probably. She appears as someone with DIK affinity. There's no doubt about that.

It's better to be DIK MC if I want to date Quinn, no?

That's up to each player to decide. Only DPC knows the real answer to that question at this point.

Personally, I have two runs centered on her. In the first, I have DIK affinity in the end. For the second playthrough, I go with permanent neutral affinity instead.

 

[iggy.]

Zoey is classic story of the "one who got away." It's going to be interesting to see dynamic between skater/goth/punk girl with tattoos all over her body and princess Jill. Or her and Josy, we already saw hints and it seems to me they will not get along. I think if MC and Zoey have same affinity, she will try everything she can to get him back. Then again, maybe she will just stay friend, but I somehow doubt that.

I say Neutral is the way to go, far more than chick the dialogue are more or less the same, but he has more freedom, and you can have Dik status. and you can have Sex with Mel, in the shower.

as its shown here, Be Confident. Either Dik or Neutral.

Zoey is more of a "why did you come back?"

Yes, NEUTRAL is better for the freedom of choice, but the dialogue is the same as CHICK MC. Choosing affinity just for the dialogue might not be worth it depending on what the player is planning.

That was Josy , that is why it's so weird. Because that was already Josy's role. She was the one who almost got away, and MC was constantly thinking about her.
Whereas Zoey was something that MC didn't know how to define it, now after some " experience " he would probably be able to find a definition for it : "Fuck Buddy"

I never go CHICK. I NEED to be able to punch Vinny in the face. Only problem with Neutral is the CHICK dialogue.

I doubt I'll have any issues with Sage. I avoided Jade like the plague and I'm faithful.

I think you can Punch him even as a Chick if you constantly fight with other characters, Jocks, Caleb, Tommy.

You can't.

 

[Jumbi]

No, to punch him you must have neutral affinity at the very least and have fought Caleb and Tommy (the fight experience requirement is only for neutral affinity. If you have DIK affinity, you can always punch him). I just checked the guide, because I could not remember the requirements well. An MC with chick affinity can tell Vinny off at most. Sad.

Exactly!

The condition to hit Vinny is:

1- DIK AFFINITY
2- NEUTRAL AFFINITY + Fight Dawe and Jocks + Fight Caleb + Fight Tommy

Tell Vinny off is enough to make Vinny shit his pants. I felt as badass as Tybalt as he scared off the MC and Derek after throwing a few punches (according to the version he told Jill).

now after some " experience " he would probably be able to find a definition for it : "Fuck Buddy"

That's why I told JB that Zoey is a childhood friend, not an ex-girlfriend, they were fuck buddies, not boyfriend and girlfriend.

I decided that after seeing the interaction between the MC and Sage, they were also fuck buddies, but the MC pushed to get serious, probably because of the experience with Zoey.

After having sex with Sage a few times and then choosing another girl, is he going to say that Sage is his ex-girlfriend? No, so neither was Zoey.
