Riona looks like a lamb to the slaughter. Sometimes for a villain to look as villainous as possible, you need him to do some maximum villainous act. Vinnie or Burke don't have to kill Riona, they can just rape her or blackmail her for sex. That would be enough for the players to hate Vinnie or Burke. But on the other hand the game is not that fond of extremes, in the sense that there are no unambiguous characters. It has anti-heroes and anti-villains. For example, Quinn is a prime example of an anti-villain - a villain with noble motives. Probably at some point an outright villain will appear, but the question is how it will be done.
It doesn't have to be by killing or maiming, in the case of the game Burke only needs to touch Maya's ass or start blackmailing an expulsion to become one.


It's not that bad. At least the new minigames ( beerpong and science minigame) are one of the reasons why I'm looking forward to episode 10. All his minigames are fun and interesting, they just got boring after all this time.

Quinn pimps out the sorority girls and is a drug dealer. There is NOTHING noble about Quinn.

We don't really know why Quinn wants the money, why she raised her prices so dramatically, or what her true motives are. But I'm guessing her goal will be related to her past, something like sending her mother to a drug rehab clinic or something like

Nowhere in the game does it say what the true goals are. It's an assumption.

It's true but I was trying to avoid posting a spoiler if you didn't complete S2. Anyway, she obviously raised her prices because she got jumped and punched and had her drugs stolen.

But you're right. There hasn't been an explanation as to why she needs money. But even so, bullying Riona and the pledges into prostitution and dealing drugs isn't noble no matter how you to try to spin it.

I believe that is correct but you need to consider each event when it happens (affinity can change over time).

You can't have DIK affinity at the moment you choose to fight for Jill, which is the condition that triggers if Jill invites you later.
At that point you cannot have CHICK affinity or Quinn will reject you.

I haven't played the game in a while so I'm not sure if you have enough time to switch affinity in between, but strictly speaking you don't need pure NEUTRAL but certainly have to sway close to it.

Thanks for your answer.

I know you need the no-DIK Afinity check at the moment you chose "Fight for Jill". Otherwise, her lewd scene won't trigger and she won"t invite you to dinner.

However, I made some tests with Sancho Mod. Even when I got succesfully her lewd scene at EP7, if you switch to DIK Aff at the moment in the library, she won't invite you either. If I preserve my CHICK Aff (given that I got her lewd scene) Jill invites me, but the scene after with Quinn doesn't show.

I don't know if it's a problem with the mod or if it's really that way. In that case, the only way I found to get the rejection scene with Quinn was to switch to NEUTRAL vía mod. But it surprises me because it seems a scene that many people get in their PT.

at the moment BaD is just American Pie level, he can make it better or stick with a plain teen comedy. It's in his hands.
He does not have to worry about his future VNs because he can retire when BaD ends.

as orgitas already said, it is 1 of the films that inspired the game. granted, its low brow dick and fart jokes. but the imapct it had at the time was pretty big. there are multiple terms it either created or at least put into common use. "milf", or "one time at band camp" just start the list. it also gave us our first look at joshy (before maya made him a lesbian)

Yeah that's where he got his inspiration from and wants to keep it sort of like that. Nothing too out there, nothing too dark (like AL). Just a kid's first year in college and the antics he got up to. The story doesn't need to be Dostoevsky in quality. It is what it is and we love it!

the intravenous drugs that i thought were gone but brought back in ep9, now gun play. i expect it to get a lot darker, but will enjoy it either way dpc goes

Well, you're touching on a very controversial topic. What do we even mean by the word nobility? It is known that this term was originally used in relation to the patrician houses of the Roman Empire.
Representatives of these houses, being very influential people, often owned brothels. Yes, this was practiced. Later, with the spread of Christianity, this term acquired some moral meaning. However, as before, it was mainly used to indicate position in the social hierarchy.
Noble people were mainly called representatives of the aristocracy. We can recall quite a few noble gentlemen whose actions may seem to us today in some way reprehensible.
After the Reformation, as far as is known, this term began to be used not only in relation to the aristocracy and clergy, but also in relation to the most successful business executives, entrepreneurs, and masters of art. Among which we can also easily find examples of people with ambiguous biography.
Why am I saying this?! Because if you really, without hypocrisy, look at the facts, then you need to recognize a simple fact - a successful person who has taken place in life will be called noble. And the way it was done won't matter too much. I mean if Quinn can succeed, she will be a successful businesswoman and noble member of society.
