Holy shit, I'm a relatively new player. I don't think I've ever done a 180 on a character as much as I have with quinn. When I played for the first time, I hated her so much that I just said I'm gonna stay away from her in every playthrough. Then I finally did play her route and now I can't do a playthrough without pursuing quinn. New favourite LI. Man, DPC is so good at writing compelling and captivating characters.
Well it's more normal than you think it is; check, I started pursuing Bella but Quinn kept appearing and every time it was more and more important to the plot, then EP 6 happened and dude, things just escalated to another level, it just felt that Quinn was THE canon route or like she's supposed to be another MG, besides the relationship feels more fluid if you go DIK path.

Again, I can't disagree with your point of view. Because deep down I 100% agree with you. But the reality is, that these platforms will take action if the owner of those channels won't. And they don't use 'half measures'. It sucks and I agree that it sucks. But that's the nature of their business model, Discord and Patreon rule their platforms like fascist dictators.

And so the only way to guarantee that DPC himself won't have to bust too much of a nut on policing his own circle jerks, it's natural to believe that he went out and grabbed his most dedicated fans and supporters to do it for him with an absolute unforgiving attitude.

Like you I don't agree with that tactic, because, personally I would like to have a back and forth my supporters if I were in his shoes. His fame got to his head, and ultimately, will most likely be his downfall as well. But who knows, there are a lot more brainless idiots out there than those of us who have critical thinking skills greater than that of a bent straw.
I see what you mean, have a thoughts on this but this will be a complete OT discussion.

Yup, the more I played, it honestly felt like she was the single most crucial character in terms of the main plot and the way things are going, I'd guess she'll have one of, if not the most important role to play in the finale.

Not everyone wants to fix Quinn.
This. I've never really thought she needed fixing. It's more like getting to know someone that you don't like on first glance or based on initial interactions, and then realizing that they're actually pretty fucking cool to hang out with.

They didn't invent conjugal visit for nothing I guess.

The only thing I don't like about her is the drug dealing thing but can you blame her? That's the place she grew up in, it's the only thing she knows. Hopefully in the future she will understand Rio's idea and will start to focus in college.

Copy that! (y)

I just hope it'll make some folks think before jumping on DPC's back (or any other creators) without at least trying to understand his position and blame him for the wrong reasons (no I'm not trying to defend him, I just try as much as possible to consider his position before moaning). At least DPC hasn't committed the ultimate sin of halting progress and start redoing earlier episodes for shits and giggles. If there's one thing that pisses me off, it's that.

To give you an idea, I know SG has FINALLY released a story update, but with all his circle jerking with redoing earlier episodes just for updated visuals, I'm not even curious about that VN anymore. It's lost all it's appeal for me. Same with Artimis and WIAB. Although I'll admit forgetting the reasons why Artimis was doing it now.

Any creator that decides to venture down that path midway of development instantly gets crossed off my list, unless this is being done to resolve a serious code issue or to expand an existing option or feature. But if it's to simply update the visuals!? They can fuck off!

Seriously, DPC is an asshole. He's going to find a way to ruin your favorite Li for the sake of drama, one way or another. He has done it already, several times, both in AL an in BADIK. I don't know Maybe your favorite Li is going to die. Maybe you are going to find some nasty secret about her past that you won't like. Maybe you are going to discover she's crazy, maybe she's going to start a woke campaign of activism, maybe she's going to be even deeper into some stupid, over-the-top criminal shit that you ever though, maybe your are going to discover she's a full-time prostitute for a gang, maybe she's going to change her personality and make her a bitch, maybe he's going to make her a lesbian and you can't have her if you don't agree with sharing her with another lesbian... It's DPC personality, he can't avoid it. And probably he doesn't even do it on purpose. It's just that he just cares about "his vision". He doesn't care about what the player could think about the moral values and politic views that he shoehorns into the game, or the nasty things he does with the Lis.

He added that stupid warning because he thinks that gives him a blank cheque to do whatever he wants. It his game, he does it or himself, and And fuck the player's feelings or thoughts. It's his game and his "vision" and he graciously lets you play it if you pay. But you are not even a customer who buys the game from him and therefore can demand certain things. For example, regular updates in a decent and reasonable time, or not to be force-fed with woke shit. You just "support his work" on Patreon. You literally have no say. That's why I will never be support him and try not to get too involved with this game.
Uhhhh yeah?


But that's not called being an asshole. That's how being a creator works. Do you know how many Harry Potter fans would have (if they had the power) tried to FORCE JK Rowling to keep this character alive or that character? To make one character gay or another one a certain race or not? The brutal truth is that people who consume a product, feel like they have some ownership of said product. They feel a certain kinship to it, and this has never been more true than in a video game, because most of us identify as the MC. I remember playing Mass Effect 3 and how that game ended kicked up such a firestorm (rightly so, promises were made and broken by Bioware and the ending was clearly undercooked and overthought) because people identified so strongly with their Shepard, they couldn't bear to have such a weak ending for them.

Here on BaD its much the same. There are people here- not naming names -who are literally obsessed with fictional bits of words and Daz artwork. They feel personally affronted when those bits of code do something 'wrong'. But the thing to remember is, ultimately this isn't YOUR story. Maya is always going to be gay. Bella is always going to have a secret trauma. Raccoons are always going to rise from the dead and dress like bananas RUINING Halloween for everyone and-

I digress. The point is, this IS how art works. DPC has his quirks sure, but no one can deny he has a vision and is an artist. This is what art looks like. Its uncompromising, it offends or attracts, evokes strong feelings. The kind of paint-by-numbers, decision-by-commitee, focus group tested crap is what we're getting out of Hollywood these days and its why movies are completely forgettable now.

Moreover the kind of game you seem to be longing for, a sort of player-centric harem simulator, everything is light and fluffy and the MC solves every problem with his cock already exists. In fact its one of the most common game types on this website. DPC doesn't make that kind of game. He TOLD you he doesn't make this kind of game. You being disappointed that this isn't the game you want to play, isn't a failure on the part of the developer, its a failure on the part of the consumer. If you walked into a Hummer dealership and bought an H1, its not the dealerships problem when you come back in a month and say, 'why do i get such shitty gas mileage?'

So the real question is, why are you still here? You don't want to deal with 'woke shit'. Great. You don't like his timetable. Okay. You know how you could avoid all this horribleness? Never come back to this game or this particular section of the forum. Ever. Don't reply to my message. Don't check for updates. Don't waste any of your precious time on something so offensive to you.

But lets be honest, you won't do that. Because you have an opinion and you want the game to change. You know it won't, so you do the next best thing. You bitch to the people who ARE enjoying the game and try and drum up support for your views. You are a thief. A whiner. And not even a producer.

You aren't entitled to what you already have, much less what you want.

DPC is probably very much aware of that, but actual math problems likely would've been even more obnoxious.
That's a matter of opinion. Simple college algebra equations would be easy. He missed a ton of words on the english tests as well as exhibited inconsistency. On one test he had 'leo' (a proper noun, normally excluded from word scrambles) and then on the next test it didn't count as a word despite l-e-o being part of the word scramble.

I wish Maya would dump that useless bitch Josy and she would start dating MC. Josy would leave town and that would be a good ending.
I disagree
I think Maya & Josy are perfect for each other
Then add the mc and its even better

I just pray there is a happy throuple ending
If not, I'll forever be disappointed

Josy is the deadlock. Maya comes up with a plan, Maya goes to college, Maya is always under threat, and Josy just cries. She is completely useless, Maya doesn't need such a weak and pathetic girl.
Maya needs a stronger and more confident partner like MC.

I think you are being too harsh on Josy
She is a really sweet and caring person
And she certainly isn't useless

apart the girls are good
But together they are great imo

I don't know...their relationship looks to be rather shaky at this point and I would predict that it will depend on the player's choices if they stay together or break up.

I'll be happily as long as we at least get the option to save it
even if it's a hard ending to get
