also , let's not forget that, they had days to come clean to each other, and they didnt until MC confronted them :whistle:.
and at the end of episode 9 already laid out the foundation for future jealousy, considering that they start counting how many times they had sex with MC without the other presence:cautious:
This is a very good point, they had no intentions to come clean with each other until the mc forced their hands.

Although I think it was clear to everyone that the mc was with Maya, so really it was only Josy who was keeping quiet about her own infidelity.

Josy’s face when the mc spills the beans to Maya during that library scene says it all. And yet it was Maya that received all the hate after that episode… :unsure:

Definitely one of the best coomer games I've ever played. Really enjoyed getting to know every character, Derek being the classic example of "oh boy this douchebag" proving to be a great friend especially in the context of frat brother. I appreciate that the game at least has a valid reason for the MC to have girls constantly around and fucking with multiples of them since the whole thing is wrapped up in the party Greek life, and the fact that several main girls may be willing to play a little bit but if you want something real you actually have to be a guy they would want to be with.

I dont want to read thousands of pages of posts, but I see there is a debate about the freeroaming aspect of the game. I have to agree that I'm not a fan of "Talk to X" checklists where you have to wander around several mansions to find people. The fast travel button definitely helps, but there are usually a couple of rooms that aren't on the list. I'm already geographically challenged in real life, the shifting perspective when you are moving around rooms of the mansions throws off my sense of where I actually am and the actual physical geography of each mansion is nearly impossible for me to discern.

Anyway, just wanted to drop my two cents. BTW Massive DIK is best route and Melanie best girl
DPC does a great job on the entire game until it comes to navigating free roams! It’s borderline random as to what clicking in any direction will do!

The original free roams were small, they gave you a chance to play mini games to earn money, check rooster, check and send messages, make phone calls, hunt for a few renders, and increase the mc’s stats. It was fine; a minor lull in the story.

Then came the prep party, where you had to navigate through the prep’s house. It was a step up, but tolerable.

But the DIK mansion changed everything. The navigation is abominable, and the task list has just grown and grown. The HOTs party and dorm party have just shown that this is the direction DPC wants to take, and episode 9 blew that through the roof.

The winning formula of linear story with some branching and occasional free roams has been replaced with massive free roams with occasional branching story. And the broken up flashback style of telling the story makes it even less immersive.

I have hardly even been looking forward to episode 10. I won’t even be surprised if I don’t rush to download it and play it as soon as it’s released, hopefully my level of expectation is low enough that I’ll be pleasantly surprised…

Yeah I’ll probably still rush to download it. :sneaky:

Do the new updates usually get leaked here the first day of the highest tier patreon release or does it take some time? Asking for a friend.
Some games take days to be uploaded here, but this game is usually here around 1 minute after the highest tier release! By the time you see the links on Patreon, you will see them here, it’s uncanny! :eek:

I heavily disagree. Josy simply shocked because Maya supposed to be lesbian:cautious::whistle:
also, Maya was quiet too, otherwise they would have talked about why MC stormed out, but they didn't:cautious:

Are there any season 2 completed without mini games? Would play them without mini games but it takes so long just to get through one path.
i think season 3 brings the option to disable the minigames in the saved games menu. I haven't checked it out personally because the mini-games don't bother me.

So is Bella's husband in the military (or more like was)?

The freeroam jump scare in Ep 2 and someone here mentioning how the picture of the shoes look like combat boots makes me want to draw some conclusions.

Its only theories and speculation, nobody except DPC knows it.

But i dont think so. 3 years in the military, without any communication with his wife? Not very likely. If he would be KiA or MiA Bella would at least got a letter for that by the military. Except he is some super-secret-James-Bond-Spy type... but... yeah, get real. Maybe she is repressing the reality... but i think she repressed something else.

Nah there is something else with him. And of course it has something to do with Bellas mental issues. Iam not even sure Jill knows what is really going on. She was curious herself about the locked room after MC mentioned it and cleary didnt know anything about it. Regarding her Husband she knows SOMETHING, but i dont even think its the truth. Overall i think Jill knows a little bit but is pretty much in the dark too.

There really has to be some progress with ep10 in that regard, especially considered the MC/Bella path is getting serious now, it cant be that this topic goes untouched any longer.

I did have many little theories in my head for this storyline.

My best guess is, Bella had some traumatizing experience during the merriage, like a miscarrige for a child or something like that... and both couldnt deal with it but bella kinda repressed all that while her husband just left?

For the boots behind that door... i mean... i have similar boots, they could be just for hiking like mine. I think the military theorie is mixed with the fact that MC imagined a military guy while he was drunk, and some made a connection here with the boots where is none. But thats mostly the case about theories around here.

Like many people were absolutely sure that "man-bun" from the prep party in ep5 is Sages father and so on... turned out... he is not, so far he is just some guy. In fact, most theories in this thread turned out to be false. There werent that many that were true so far. The one true theory i remember the most is, some people said that Chad is gay even before episode 3 came out, to me it became clear a little later on, around episode 5 i think.

For Bella and her husband, there as many theories as characters are in the game. Without any real hint or even evidence so far.

Lets wait and see, but i dont think the husband is in military, or if he is/was... its not the reason he is gone.

Still, a minimum of $5 monthly pledge makes a minimum of $60 per episode, and having the episode with a delay of TWO WEEKS is an instigation to piracy...

One single episode is not worth $60. Not of this VN nor of any other.

And DPC seems to be aware of that because currently on Steam the bundle of "Acting Lessons" + "BaD Season 1" + "BaD Season 2" is sold at less than 28 Euros (about 30.60 USD).
Dont know if you are aware... but you can simply subscribe for a single month when the update is coming out and get it like that. Thats the way i do most of the time for good AVNs around here, like artemis, chasing sunsets or in this case... being a dik. Paying 5$ is enough to get it on december 22th. I will go for 10$ this time to get it at december 11th i think. I did the same for ep9 but it was a disappointing one. If ep10 is disappointing again... well... its a pirate forum for a reason i guess.

No. The popular consensus was he was a female impersonator who worked for a drag show with the stage name of Long Dong Silver. His most famous impressions were Tina Turner, Elvira, and Queen Elizabeth II.

you're pretty fucked up, at this point I think you should know that DPC likes to put obstacles to people who use mods. if you want to know how to fix it, I suggest talking to Sancho. next time use the command prompt or a save editor. :KEK:

I hope that both of you are having an exceptional day so far and that it continues to be so!
I would be delighted to update the post. I am pleased to hear that you both enjoyed it.

I had already been updating the original post to incorporate the latest content released by DPC. The only element that remained unaddressed was the release date announcement images for this week. I have since updated the original post to include these images. However, I am uncertain if my contribution has provided any significant insight, as the placement of these new images is challenging due to their zoomed-in, single-character focus.

If anyone has noticed something that I have missed or disagrees with my approach, please let me know.
You've done a great job, but I'd also add this render from the game's splash screen to your table here.
S3_DIKs.png

I think this is generally going to be one of the very first scenes in the game where Tommy, Rusty, and MC go to talk the morning after the party.

This render refers to either the scene with Sage or the scene with Riona.

It's not Maya's fault that she cheated on Josy with the mc
She didn't even know at the time that she could be attracted to guys.

Still all that bad stuff had to come out so the throuple could be built on a solid foundation
And not lies & deceit.

Yeah, when I came here for the first time after Ep.9, I didn't understand what all the jokes about the banana suit were all about.
the-office-lol.gif

That's mysterious... Where the hell is this guy? I wonder if he cheated on Bella or got a very looooong business trip, or helping his old parents in an another state, or maybe he's dead but Bella doesn't want to admit his death (that's kinda overthinking but it's not to exclude and I don't think that closed room hide a body or something like this, it's more personal memories from him), etc.

The only picture I got from James was a horny husband who putted his wife Bella in a bad position at her former job in the library. He literally hit on her at the work (she got fired because of him after that incident). Not the good example of a husband, is he?

But if he's a soldier, then why Bella wanted to hide every single pictures of her and him at her house? I mean she mustn't have the shame about that or it's a method for her to not too much thinking about him?

Good work!

But I can't fully agree that the Josy's new hairstyle as well as Maya one are AFTER the party. We know that this party will take place at the end of the EP AND there will be a time jump right to this party. We clearly starting after Halloween party night, getting classes, dates, etc. But you put scene with Josy (in her room and with her new hair) after the party where the EP10 will end. We will barely see what will happen after this party, most probably because this EP will end in the same way as EP9.

Girls often changed their hair styles before, same regarding Maya and Josy, that's just one of the new styles they will use from time to time. It doesn't have anything with time or part or place in EP. Josy have her classic ponytail at the party, so what? It's very unlikely that we will get all these scenes with her new hairstyle after this party. Several scenes at different times of the day takes place in her HOTs room. Don't forget the scene in the library. For me it's the dates and just an everyday variety equally. Maya just seems to use her new style more often or maybe will totally switch to this hair at the some point of the episode.

"unconfirmed time frame" (after thanksgiving party) - I don't get it. Thanksgiving party finalizing the episode and takes place at the end of episode at the same time. Most pics of this section should be moved after the "Morning After". While the "unknown" part mostly too.

The really unknown part is when the MC reads the Lynette diary, but I doubt this happenes after the party as well. Only if DPC hadn't prepared some cliffhanger like MC learning something very important about Lynette or her family, his grandfather, etc, or maybe Neil at this part, then it's the perfect "wow" moment. Otherwise it will take place in the same way as in previous episodes - ending of some free-roam in MCs room closer to going to sleep.

Y'all ready for the 8th of december?
I have resigned myself to the fact that it doesn't look like I will be able to use my Madame saves (where I steal her from Joshy and she is all mine and we become an official item). I haven't given up complete hope, but it looks to be a very sad Christmas.
