Some of MC "cheating" actions just increase the counter by 1 or 2 points, while others additionally saved as variables. So some of them are "common" or "nameless" if you want, while other would lead to particular consequences. For example each photo you take during photosession have it's unique number.
For example graping Sarah & Mel asses during greating the HOTs doesn't save any variables, but just increases your counter, while graping the Bianca ass do both. I think it's quite obviously. Knowing Sarah & Mel - they doesn't consider it seriously, while doing such thing with Bianca is much more specific, knowing she is Jill friend, etc.
We are only at the middle of the game, but this possible options/permutations and potential outcomes and it's numbers feels crazy.
Thanks for this answer as well. You seem to have great knowledge not only of the game's story but also of its mechanics. It's really interesting how DPC will resolve this and it's a shame he doesn't want any help at all with the project. Even taking constructive criticism and patching some story beats here and there would be really cool. I just hope the end point of his work is not gonna be a frustrating one. Because, by the looks of it, if he ever ends the project, it's gonna be almost 10 years in the making.
Also, is there any list of all the cheating points MC can gather in EP9?
Honestly, if you were dating someone that your best friend encourage you to, then to find that they want the same person been fooling around with them behind your back. Makes it worse you saw them having sex right in front of you.
Later on the person legit says they liked you both but choose their best friend instead then wanting to kiss that person to see is there a part of them that feels something for you still.
They kissed you back making the situation way more worse because it showed that their not fully over you.
Therefore, her not breaking the picture make much more sense given the context above. That's why the right turned into a Love Triangle now because she's going to fight for him back now which is not great for Bella either.
After he kissed her, she said "Damn you MC" because he gave hope which is fucked up.
Truly I'm here for the drama because in this route and it won't end well for the their friendship because it's tragic.
At the beginning, I would like to apologise for my another rant about plot holes in this huge game, made by one narcissistic guy. Still love the game, just being passionate.
Thanks for the answer, but my issue wasn't about the story making sense in this particular situation but in something else. I don't like the fact that Jill only decides to fight for MC if he rejects her for Bella specifically. While I understand why she would want to fight in this specific instance, I believe she would still fight if MC wanted to dump her for Sage or Maya & Josy.
It's sadly the fate of almost every artistic production, which allows for multiple different routes. People's motives, wants, and needs shouldn't change if they weren't or aren't influenced by MC's words or decisions. If you know the game Witcher 2, Act 2 of this game changes completely, which almost influences who wins the war. Yet the only thing changing between those two realities is Geralt of Rivia and that has its flaws. And once, a really crazy guy did a 5-hour analysis of this game, won't even link it because we should be reasonable. But in that video, he presented why it's bad.
So, going back to Being a Dik, it's a sad example where in one universe Jill lost MC to Bella and she wants to fight like hell but in other nothing changed other than the fact that she lost to Sage and suddenly she doesn't need to fight. Which means that Bella is the only changed factor, yet is still doesn't make sense why that wouldn't be the case with Sage.
Like I know that other people look differently at stuff but c'mon. I watched some good and bad dramas, even experienced some myself or seen my friends do it. Fight for a guy, I get it. Fight for a guy who chose different gal, I get it.
But bloody hell, fight for a guy who decided to choose your friend? I can give you the benefit of the doubt that someone would do that, but if they did THAT, they would also fight for a guy who chose a girl you only barely know, you know what? It would be even less taxing on your f*cking psyche.
And why it works like that? Because DPC works with HUGE ammount of variables like
Kpyna pointed out. Maybe we can go back to Jill in episodes 12 or 14, but for now, DPC decided that after rejecting her or going on Others path it's the end of the road. Yet he had plans for her, MC and Bella to have a romantic triangle. Which I 100% understand, because I agree with you, it's gonna be one hell of a drama. Like I can already picture myself playing through this story and having tons of fan. And if you look at this story in isolation, you can see that it makes total sense, great writting, no plot holes. The issue comes if you know many different alternative universes and compare them to one another.
I know that we can explain it to make it make sense, really, it's the only thing we can do. I also know that comparing differetn alternative universe doesn't make much of a sense but even DPC wants us to play the game multiple times. And seeing Jill in the similar circumstance react in different ways JUST BECAUSE is frustrating. I don't like it and I view it as a flaw in the story. Thanks for chippin in.
