It's a risk, but also a classic go-to move for an agent provocateur in similar stories: Make yourself appear as one of the victims so you can easily act innocent and shift the blame since nobody is going to suspect you.
Except there's little benefit in acting innocent when you ruined your own reputation with your own hands in the first place. Agent provocateur typically works because at the end it becomes known they were never part of the organization they helped to end... but in this particular case people in the pics get simply shamed for wanton fucking regardless of what lead them to it. One is hardly going to be a "victim" when he did get his cock stuck all way in Arieth's asshole.

Guys, I just noticed something on Nicole, it may be something or not.

So I've heard that people who are HIV positive end up with some skin conditions, usually some rashes/stains on the skin. Lately we don't see it that much because of the Cocktail. But before it exists it was hard to miss. And I noticed that nicole has some of those rashes on her inner left tight, her right leg and a few dots on her face. I know some will argue that it is just normal skin stains, but it looks like those of someone with HIV. And she is a stripper who actually does private sessions and have sex with her clients for money, including anal, etc.

I can be totally wrong, but I decided to put it out there.
Yikes! I hope not... I would be surprised, but at the same time I would not put it past the Doctor to do something like that. I always assumed they were just part of her skin.

First face you need to point each dial on the sign with the line on one side like this, and click center button
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
For the second one, click on the center button, only four symbols will not be greyed out at some point, you need to set the dials on the first face to these symbols and click the center
have you guys noticed that the "help" function, gives you other hints on how to do it? I only noticed on my last run but when I tried to do it, it kicked me out. Saying I had some progress and should work on it more later.

As per double standard, some guys would be proud of being exposed while fucking a chick.

In real life some of them were found guilty to be the one responsible for leaking private sex videos they pretended was "hacked" from their phone...

You know what's a better idea than making one-thousand and one different variations for the same mini-game? Actually developing the story.
The central point of this update was characters banding together to deal with Maya's ongoing issue once and hopefully for all. Which is "actually developing the story" no matter how much some people would rather whine about an aspect they don't like and they're completely free to turn off.

If you had sex with Nicole and then got tested in Jill's route nothing jumped in the test, so I don't think so.

Yes, but on the previous game the MC friend had cancer, I wouldn't be surprised if he did this to Nicole. Unless she is into some bdsm stuff with candles and such that ended up burning her skin, but if not, it is kind sus.

OMG. I fucked her in "Hells Week". :eek:

No, seriously, I'm not really worried about it. The only character in the game who has so far developed a sexual illness, which Diks then had to struggle with, was Arieth. But that was something much more harmless than HIV. And as far as I know, you can't get her to bed either. I'm not sure if the developer would really take up such a serious topic. I don't think that would be beneficial to the game where basically nobody uses condoms. :eek::LOL:

In real life, sex workers, including strippers, even have to prove that they are clean, as far as I know.

Can anyone help me with this scenes?

I have not gotten the first three either, but the fourth is with Cathy. You meet her on the street and can fool around with her back at her place, but you had to have engaged with her on rooster. The Cathy scene was surprisingly good. The Doc made some updates to the model and they are pretty good.

True, but his previous game he also took on a serious topic as well. After a close one getting killed, his best friend had cancer. That was huge. and HIV nowadays, anyone can live a healthy and happy life with the treatments. So I think it is less darker than it was in Acting lessons.

I guess different strokes for different folks (pun intended). I still enjoy parts of the game - and the lewds are great. But there is no way I can play it without the mod - I hate-hate mini-games and puzzles - they seem pointless and mind numbing. The "free roam" was kind of fun - once - but now really tiresome. The house layout makes no sense - and the fast move menu doesn't have all the locations on it or show where the NPCs are. Even MC's own beroom room makes no sense and I forgot in the time between updates that there were multiple areas in the room which hung me up in Ep 10. The hints in the "Tasks" app are somewhat helpful - when they tell you where to find someone - but inconsistent and not most of the time. I don't have the patience for more than one play through - so I picked Sage and played that through Ep 10 - with mini games off and cheating every puzzle. The story was fun initially but has gotten super soap opera - and way too complicated to keep in your head. And now that you are down to one LI its pretty much VN and kind of boring. I use the gallery unlocer to see what I missed on the other routes - looks like I might want to play the Maya Josey throughple, and it would be fun to go all out with Mighty Quinn (I don't even know which route that is possible on) - but like I said - the thought of going throgh the damn halloween party 10,000 steps again just leaves me exhausted. A redemption route for Quinn would be fun to see - but it doesn't look like that is in the cards. As many others have said - the little choices that bight you many episodes alter are frustrating. The mod is great in that it allows you to zip through things like decoding puzzles. Thank you Scrappy for that. Anyway my $0.02 and worth everything you paid for it.

Lol, you just clued me in on how I should properly anticipate the next release.
But 17 saves? That many?
Sage Dik
Josy Dik.
Maya Chick.
Jill Chick.
Bella Chick.
Quinn Dik
Lily Dik
Nicole Chick
Riona Dik
Just otherwise why so many? Right now Dik or Chick doesn't really matter, it's the path itself rather than the affinity that matters now. All the dramatic moments can be realized on the safe paths of Others( Jade path for example).
So 17 is not even the end number iam working on some more but those are the ones that made it thorugh episode 9 so far

okay... i start. No real specific order

1. J&M even route
2. Jill
3. others Rio (chick, i prefer the chick appraoch if i can)
4. others Nicole (chick, i prefer the chick appraoch if i can)
5. Sage chick
6. Sage dik to involve quinn or others.
7. Bella and Jill
8. Chick-Allin out of curiosity for the fallout, and this route will lead to different new playthroughs for episode 9... so yeah... 20 savegames already with that
9. others route for Zoey
10. others route focus Josy
11. others route focus Maya
12. dik-milf route
13. Lily
14. Sage + Jade and some others. Shit will hit the fan.
15. Bella
16. J&M focus Josy
17. J&M focus maya


And a couple of more playthroughs are in the pipeline where i played around with some things like... screwing up repairing the mansion, dont gather +rp points for the diks to see if it will lead to something like... the diks maybe hate the MC along the way and throw him out? And screwing up the partyplanning on purpose too. My most recent playthrough from scratch... dik route for sally, you have to some things to get close to sally you normally dont do on a dik route, like being "serious" about the pen and paper sessions or that you dont tease her and such.

Yeah... and only that you know... iam by far not the one with the most different savegames around here, i assure you :D

And the most interesting part about that... yep, every playthrough had some differences to it...

Well... 6-12 months between updates are a long time so play around with the game. And its not even THAT time consuming... excel table, pdf walktrough and skip button are youre friends if you want to do so many different things. But i admit, getting through the minigames and free roams everytime is bothersome...

Other than that, yep i have a little to much time, iam disabled and cant work... so... yeah, sitting in front of the PC is pretty much my everyday. if my app counts correctly, i played being a dik for more than 300 hours... which is not much honestly. hence the fact that i played Cyberpunk 2077 and witcher 3 for 1000 hours combined. And those are not even in the top list... but singleplayer game... you dont want to know how much time i have played some MMOGs over the last 25 years or Anno 1800... its called 1800 for a reason to me i guess.

Well, it could also be skin cancer and not necessarily HIV...
