VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[ImSenjou]

Is there anyone here who played Lily's path and liked it?
I want to read more opinions about this path.

From what I've been reading in this thread, it's difficult to find anyone who really liked it, and those who liked Lily before, say they like it less now.

I know that she will probably have a redemption arc in the future, where she must fall in love with the MC, but it may take a while, and trying to analyze their relationship here in ep10, makes me think that their relationship is similar to Tommy and Heather, but with an infinite number of "pluses", it seems better to be single than to be with Lily.

I didn't realize that even though I've tried multiple routes, there are choices I've made that are the same in all my saves.

There are some I did not do which led me to miss these:
1. Sage not accompanying you to Maya's home. I didn't realize this was a possibility.
2. Choosing not to let the preps in. Do the DIKs still blame the MC?
3. Not getting the contract.

"Redemption" arc?

Redemption from what?

But as far as this season treading water, that's still very much my feeling. Basically, the game has a long history of overselling a cliffhanger only to underdeliver on the consequences. Given that, my response to getting our hands on Maya's contract is closer to exasperation than it is to joy. After all, we already know the contract is sketchy; from what Sage, Jill and Bella said at the strategy meeting, it's unclear how it could even be enforced against Maya. So getting a copy of it is at best a clue to let us solve the real problem. This is reinforced by the revelation that Patrick abused Maya physically as well as mentally; realistically, does it even matter what happens to the contract now that we know Maya can't go home again?

I think DPC told the storyline of Maya and her father from the wrong angle. What we're left with is the need to find a way to pay for college in order to free her from blackmail. In my opinion, DPC wanted to tell a broader, more complex story (including what we learn about the Bailey family in episode 10), but we ended up with a plot that boiled down to Maya and the money to pay for college.

As many of you have said, the solution to the "how to pay for college for Maya" problem is going to be ridiculously simple for a long-running plot. The loan isn't a student loan, so Maya can sign one, or if it is, there's been some scheming by the father, and then all it will take is a phone call from Jill's lawyer to the bank and the problem is solved.

But it doesn't end there. I think the storyline won't end when Maya is freed from blackmail, it'll end when we see the impact of everything on Maya and Derek's family. If we get the contract we can have a good ending, with the father realizing how he's behaved with his children. If we don't have the contract, it'll all go to shit, and we'll have a bad ending for the Bailey family.

Tommy still mention that " MR. Party Planner " let them in , but MC correct him, and Nick say that Yeah he was there and saw that MC turning them away, so they let it go.

I like Lily's path and her scenes for ep10 were once of the top three, Sage being top one.
The infinite number of pluses is the same as Lily telling the MC no spooning and no romantic kissing.
She's trying to protect herself and not let herself fall for the MC, because she's stripping and having sex for money. She can't do that if she's in love.
It's interesting that ep10 features Nicole going for the MC. They're both strippers and prostitutes, but Nicole is allowing herself to fall in love with the MC, while Lily is stopping herself. You can see the contrast.

I kinda liked it i can see her point of view sorta so i can understand her but things a little vague now and we need more info in ep11 if ep11 didn't bring anything value for her i will drop liking this path

 

[katzenstreu]

it seems better to be single than to be with Lily.

of course it is. she is a stripper and a hooker (she want money for the first blowjob).
i dont judge people for doing that, they have reasons for it.
but i would never touch girls who do that, let alone kiss and fuck.

 

[kinkyshin]

Yea, Lily route was my favorite because you can still fuck whoever you want, and who knows if DPC introduces a new girl or not. The whole King/Queen stuff was mortifying though.

Now I'd say the Sage route is my favorite because she was talking about threesomes. Hopefully her parents divorce doesn't make her change her mind on that. Maya/Josy route is okay.

I have a Jill save, but I never feel like I'm missing out on her when I play any other save.

 

[Gimpster]

only 3 chapters left and it begins dont expect to see rio alive again ... basically the shit will hit the fan fast now out of the 8 differnt branches something bad will happen in all of them and i still think josey is gonna get killed saying she felt safe with the MC is typical dead man walking plot material ...still the game destroys anything else out there i just hope its not 1 chapter per year

I really liked it and enjoyed the whole "rolling thing"; stuff that's all about status. Fit really well with my MC and reminded me of Ruby from the Sex Ed TV series. I also liked how this single choice influenced a lot of scenes where, normally, MG would fit.

Do you know why some people like her path less than before?

Wait, Sage can also attend Thanksgiving dinner at Maya's home? How?

 

[Kalamyte]

hello people
i've just resumed the game and when i finish the interlude and start the hallowenn party the game cuts out during the dialogue between tommy and jacob. it seems to me that the problem is known but i can't remember how to solve it. if this speaks to anyone?

 

[Acsuka]

Sage not accompanying you to Maya's home. I didn't realize this was a possibility.

I didn't know that either, I have Sage on all my routes and I always get the document.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Wait, Sage can also attend Thanksgiving dinner at Maya's home? How?

You need to tell Josy about Chad being gay in the gym.
Then she come with the " beard" idea for Maya, and MC will play the role of her boyfriend, not just a friend. Derek will volunteer get in this too, and Sage is only one who agree to play as a Derek gf.
Actually bad idea, because you know Derek and how he hits on girls. Derek pissing off Sage in milliseconds, and you'll have +1 Patrick suspicious penalty point.

Like a wise man said (me) it's a game you fuck everyone without concern of getting STD and build a relationship with drug dealer
while fucking your teacher and a rich woman who got a fucking Bentley IIRC for her 18 birthday
and all of them care about you and love you
if anything tells you it screams dream or a game so enjoy
in real life nothing like Mc plot armor will give you this feature
you maybe start life with negative Features
but you gotta push through it

But why should Riona die? If they wanted to kill her they would have done it already. Either they want to scare Quinn or they want information. Something could go wrong, but why?

 

[DMNOV3R]

only 3 chapters left and it begins dont expect to see rio alive again ...

What do you mean there are only 3 episodes left? BaDIK will have at least 16 episodes.

 

[El_Loco]

Someone over at the discord seems to of worked out who masked girl at the party was. View attachment 3181088 View attachment 3181089

I'm not sure how important this detail is, but her nails are not black, because you can see it in yoga class. And it's quite strange that after a rather pleasant dialogue at the party, she doesn't notice the MC at all

Their nails not being the same color doesn't mean anything. The girls change their nail color multiple times in the same episode to match their outfits.

Ok, let's keep it that way. But why is she aloof from the MC for the entire episode and not continuing the dialog, even though the conversation at the party suggested it? It seems a little illogical
