I thought Isabella's route would be the romantic type, but it looks like it will be the depressive type. Bella is totally conflicted about her feelings.

• She clearly lied to the MC about her looking at the handbook. The question is: Why? She was the one who didn't want to continue dating the MC depending on the rules in B&R.

• When mentioning James and telling MC about her marriage for the first time, Bella confessed that she doesn't know what MC is to her... All she knows is that MC makes her feel things she's never felt, and then she practically begs the MC to 'stay with her'.

• If she lied about the handbook because she was desperate for fear of losing the MC (the air that prevents her from drowning in a black abyss as she said) we better hope the flashback in Ep.9 isn't a flash forward to the episode from Christmas. If the silhouette belongs to Maya's father and that blood (or wine) belongs to the MC, Bella will have a worse psychotic episode than when James 'left'.

Man... this isn't what I was expecting... I hope I'm wrong... Where's Bella's specialist when we need her? DarkKiller
You mostly answered your own questions.

Although, Bella didn't really lie to MC, she "omited" the truth more like, if you play Nora's path she actually answers the question
no "I have come to a conclusion."
no "It's simply too complicated to date someone I'm teaching, and I have to inform you that I can't date you anymore."
mc "You're joking, right?"
no "I'm afraid I'm not. It's against our rules unless it's disclosed, but that's not something I'm willing to do."
no "I'd be putting my career on jeopardy and would have to find a way around grading your lab report."
no "It involves letting my superiors know about you, and even Professor Willcock would have to learn about it."
no "Sure, it is mitigated by the fact that we met before knowing it would come to this, but as much as it pains me I cannot continue."
So technically it's okay for MC and Bella to date, it's just that according to the rulebook they'd have to make their relationship public and apparently she isn't ready for that yet, but as you said, she realized she needs MC so she doesn't want to end their relationship either and decides to hide it instead.
My best guess is that she's afraid MC would get upset that there's a "legal" way for them to date but Bella chooses the "illegal" way instead. But for MC in EP8, legal or not, for him it was just a matter of hiding the relationship, I'm sure he'd understand Bella and respect her wish if she told him the truth, so I don't really understand why DPC wrote this plotline this way tbh.

Moving on, what did you expect her to say about James? In earlier episodes she clearly still has some hope James might come back one day, she probably still loves him, do you really expect her to give up on her old life that she's been hopelessly hanging on for 3 years, as soon as she meets a man whom she grows feelings for?
Put things into perspective, by the time she and MC have that talk they have met around 3 months ago and started truly dating (not fooling around) about 1 month ago. Her marriage with James was probably a decade old or more by the time he left.
All she knows is that MC gave her hope and a resemblance of happiness for the first time in 3 years, for now that seems enough.

All in all I think we should just be happy that she finally opened up a bit and was honest about James with MC, that by itself is a huge step forward and shows how much she cares about MC already.

As for the dinner, your guess is as good as mine.

And it's not all doom and gloom for her branch, c'mon, it's quite romantic as well, did you play the same episode as me? Their date is super funny, almost every line that woman said can be turned into a meme. And their relationship looks wholesome and natural, something I thought was going to be quite hard to pull off considering the woman we saw in earlier episodes.

Oh, and the details, pay attention to the details, they're adorable

No. After Madame is Nora.

B.T.W., it's funny how those characterization works. If Becky was in another game and was all nice and sweet, everyone would be falling for her. But, since he made her this way, everybody is "oh.. no... Becky..."
well... after learning she smells down there and her attitude makes me wanna give him a bottle of cola

Then how did she get the pictures? The laptop had been in the safe and as far as we know only DIK's had access to the safe.
the pictures are hanging on the fucking wall of shame in the DIK house dude :D EVERYBODY can see them, make a picture with the phone... and... done. The diks even talk about it that it might not be good idea to hang them up there anymore.

Beth didnt hang up the picture the alphas got, thats a whole other story.

I was just about ask about that plus Leon with the two dudes walking towards her. I can't tell if Beth (the cafeteria girl) was shocked or they are also in on it.
she was like "oh fuck they caught me"

now we will have to wait for the why, and maybe if she did it alone or not. Other than that, Beth doesnt seem to be a "bad girl" so far... i guess Leon will talk to her at first, she will crumble and say something like "nobody wants to fuck me, so i thaught i humilate all of you" or something like that... to be honest, the whole picture thing will turn out to be kinda trivial. And Beth doesnt have anything to do with the cathy cluck.

I'm on the others path and I thought I was on Nicole's path but somehow I didn't get her scene. What did I do wrong? I'm rolling with Lily if that matters.
You should've made a save at end of End 9 before you made a choice of spooning Lily or Nicole. This will split the path to either rolling with Lily or being romantic with Nicole.

I couldn't find this info in the walkthrough when I briefly looked so hoping someone can answer this for me..

Do I need to be DIK or Chick for Jill's and Other's paths (and Quinn if hers is separate from Others?)? I was thinking of just playing them at the same time and splitting them off into different saves when you have to choose someone at the end of episode 8 but I haven't done a mainly DIK playthrough yet and was gonna focus that

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.
You're overcooking the chicken, brother. This does sound like a reach, no offense

For the other path you cant date maingirls besides Sage. (at least i didnt saw others pop up if i was with Bella, J&M or Jill)
Affinity doesnt matter for the others.

DIK affinity rules out Jill, you cant be with Jill as a DIK period.

Jill AND others is not possible, in fact... you cant be on more than one path all together after episode 8. Its either "others" OR "Sage" OR "Bella" OR "Jill" OR "J&M" But never "AND" Which will split the game into 5 Playthroughs after episode 8. And the branching is increasing after episode 9. Cause the "others" will be splitted too... You have to decide between Quinn, Nicole and Lily for example. And this will go on... being a dik is not a harem game, its fair to assume that its impossible to end up with more than 2 girls at the time... J&M of course and there are hints for maybe another "throuple" but nothing for sure yet.

Quinn doesnt have an own path until after episode 9. To be with quinn you have to fuck her in ep 4 and 6, you NEED dik affinity and has to be on the "others" path. At the end of ep 9 you have to go to her and ditch every other girl...

The idea of making several savegames is the right approach. Some would say its crazy... but... i would recommend to make a savegame for EACH girl from start to finish.

If you are just interested to see every lewd scene, and doesnt bother to break someones heart along the way (and you will) you will need at least 5 playthroughs anyways.

Until epsiode 8, 3 playthroughs are theoertical enough to see every lewd scene... but it gets kinda messy like that.

The best approach is more like this... which girl do you like? Make a playthrough for her and play the MC best fitting for her. Jill, J&M and Bella are "Chick", neutral works too, but doesnt feel right, but well, thats up to you. Sage works fine as chick, dik or neutral, doenst really matter... But dik might feel more natural with her from the start... though, she changes a lot during the game, after episode 7 she felt more like a "chick" girl to me.
