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

[Mormont]

Plot hole*
Not that many,
OK,Holdo manuver in TLJ was a plot hole because it undermined rules established by previous movies,it created huge problems and question considering the entire universe of the SW.
Grumpy Luke(or Jake Skywalker) was a plot hole becuase he was some one else,entirely and the explanation we recived for that change was nowhere near the realm of being enough(Same with Danny in GoT s8).

We have not seen anything like that in ep 3 of BADIK,we recived a line of misleading information considering Maya+Josy relationship but everything else fitted nicely.
Quinn acts out of character by trying to employ Maya in public - that is a problem
Chad acts like a different dude,than again we have not seen him in private before.Good luck explaining his relationship with Sage at all,especially the way he acts in ep 1 when compared to ep 3 - sure he might have been different with her untill he met his secret lover,which might have led to Sage becoming suspicious in the first place...but that`s me writting the story for the author - it is a problem.

Quinn wanting to employ or even help more girls despite it creating financial problems...is not a plot hole,is one of many examples of situation we aren`t clear about due to lack of information,that`s done on purpose to keep the suspense...

It's not as bad as TLJ don't get me started on that especially the Holdo scene I'm already preparing for the worst in how they will butcher the next film although I'm rather sceptical now that Palpatine is back.

There are some issues in the game that make you think okay how does that all work out? I'm not sure if they are deliberate or does he have some masterplan to explain a few of these inconsistencies, or is it he is just writing stuff and not thinking so much about certain parts of the stories thinking no one will ever notice.

Best adult game i've played to date.

Does anyone think this is as good as Acting Lessons at least?

DPC put a real effort in Being a DIK and not only the story part. This new point and click system during free roam is good, it actually lets time for you to appreciate funny moments on your phone (another good feature of the game) and on the details of a place (exploring and investigating).
Better musics than AL even if it was quite good in AL, I just love the BaD musics (Friday prophets)
Also we got a lot more characters with that little Bio you can read, I like it
As far as we know for the story's plot, it's the same quality of writing and the next update will prove or not if it reachs the AL's level

 

[SAMASH112]

i don't know, i have plenty of save game being a dik punch troy and ignore chad, and being a chick choose to defend chad and be a good guy.

i think the culprit is troy who sending chad the photo or maybe his gf

Hard to know... Anyway It's possible that it was Sage, because she is obsessive and like a crazy.

 

[SAMASH112]

Maybe he felt like the MC is a threat to him ? i don't think anyone new to a college who isn't in any of the big groups and no people to back him up would try to hit on the president of the jocks's girlfriend or talk to her + get himself into a fight with the jocks right away. so maybe he thought he's a threat to him hence why the MC was the first to come to chad's mind.

Nah, Chad just thought it was the MC because he was caught in the gym, and fought with Dawe, nothing more.

 

[TobiMAH]

because he was caught in the gym

I didn't point that out cuz i thought we had an option to either help sage find out or not, just as when she asked for our help the second time and we had a choice.

 

[SAMASH112]

Active Lessons was easily my favorite game until the watershed event occurred. And I didn't believe that we were forced to choose between the two LIs like that. I remember jokingly saying that a man has two arms for a reason, so I didn't foresee that event would end like that at all. When the bomb dropped, I criticized it a bit, but in the end accepted DPC's point of view. I was still able to chose my favorite girl (not only from AL but probably from all games) Missy, save my BFF Liam (and get him a date along the way), so it was still pleasant, overall. But I felt really bad for what happened to the other main LI, and I still think a route where that could have been prevented, would be the best solution to please the most fans.

About Being a DIK: There are currently only three updates and still this game is my favorite from all the hundreds of games that I've played. You can read what I think about it, and why I think like I do about it, on my review. Just bear in mind that the game can still turn one way or the other, ending up being a disappointment. But at this stage, even in its incomplete state, it satisfies me on every level like no other game, and I think it will end up being a masterpiece.

It seems that we all choose the same. The lovely and sweet Missy, impossible to avoid, impossible to forget

 

[SAMASH112]

I think you can't avoid helping Sage, I think it's mandatory ... Correct me if I'm wrong

 

[TobiMAH]

Yeah in a way she told the mc the first time that he needs to help her find out who the girl is because she gave him his guitar i believe.

 

[The Ascendent]

Is this game going to be complete in one series or is this going to continue into a second series or even a third? Our MC has been through a lot and they have only been in college for around two weeks. Never mind a semester or even a year, or who knows how long his course is. Any ideas on how many episodes as well. Just asking because this is a fun game and I am curious how long the good Dr is planning to work on this project.

 

[Mormont]

Well if the rumours about Chad are true I wonder if it will humiliate Sage or will she just move on from him with the MC. Also, she has only shown a bit of crazy towards who she thinks is the actual girl that is cheating with Chad and if it is indeed another guy, I think she actually might feel sorry for Chad and take some pity on him.

It's not Sage. If she already had photo evidence of something, there'd be no reason for her to ask the MC to get evidence. She was also oblivious about the blackmailing when Chad came to her for help after he'd been kicked out of his Alpha seat by Burke.

I've been thinking about who could possibly be blackmailing Chad, but it may be yet too soon to point to a culprit, as we lack much information to reach a solid conjecture. It could be some character not yet introduced, like a rival competitor of his, but it makes more sense for it being one we already know. The suspects could vary, depending on what the content of the envelope is. I'm assuming it's compromising pictures, kinda like the ones in Dawe's envelope, pertaining his secret love life.

Gathering all the clues we've seen so far, it makes sense that the content of the envelope shows pictures of him and his lover, which probably is another guy. This would fit well with his behavior, because he has not shown much interest in Sage (especially of the sexual nature), except for when they're in public. This could mean that Chad is living a double life; one for the public's eyes, and one he doesn't want anyone finding out, over the threat of his reputation being tarnished, and having consequences for his social status.

The Jocks appear to be fully on his side and haven't shown any evidence of jealousy or of holding grudges. The DIKs, however, have plenty of reasons/motives to want to hurt him, with them being rivals, and especially after the whole Tommy/Arieth ordeal. But the DIKs don't seem to have any personal issues with Chad himself, but more with Dawe and the frat as a whole. But Chad is/was the leader of the Jocks and Dawe was also targeted by the blackmailer(s). So, a DIK member could very well be the culprit; but this would be way too obvious, imho.

The Preps don't strike me as suspects either, because they could have more effective means to deal with the Jocks, and they don't have any (apparent) monetary reasons for blackmailing them either. The Nerds could have something, since they are bullied constantly, but we have no specific clues in that regard. And the HOTs are "associates" of the Jocks, but it is mostly here where my suspicions lie. I can see someone there with a motive, like, for instance, someone who didn't handle rejection very well.

Outside the frats, I have no idea who it could be, so far.

Edit: Oh, there's also Troy.

 

[TobiMAH]

Yeah and there definitely was something up when Dawe went to see Quinn and told her "we need to talk" at the end of the episode.

There`s no fixing what TLJ broke,they will try and they will fail.Frankly the set-up - The Force Awakens - was deeply flawed to begin with,Rogue One was the only one I kinda enjoyed.

I think he has a skeleton of the story in his mind,it`s the details of each episodes he is working on,it`s gonna be okay as far as he won`t rush pay off`s by sacrificing internal consistency of the story and characters

I'm not so sure about it being totally broke this is the last movie so I think they will go for broke and just go crazy and hopefully in a good way as a fan that faith needs to be restored after TLJ and Solo.

Well, time will tell I just hope he does have plans for these plot holes and doesn't add any more but if he gets his goal and leaves his job I'm hoping it will be more time spent on the story as everything else is pretty much flawless. I'd just like to see the consistency come back after the first two updates were pretty much perfect.

Edit: Oh, there's also Troy.

I don`t think it`s the DIKs,because of the stolen/lost phone,whoever stole it or found it,is responsible.It also wouldn`t make sens for DIKs to out themselves,remember they are on all the pictures.

Yeah and there definitely was something up when Dawe went to see Quinn and told her "we need to talk" at the end of the episode.

Yes,that scene made me suspicious of Dawe aswell...could it be that he wanted to take Chad`s place as the president?Well it couldAssuming he wanted that and he got beaten by the MC 2 birds with 1 stone

But why would Dawe expose his GF and her unfaithfulness to him for the sake of him being the president? And was he expecting Chad to beat MC and Jill to spill the beans to the administration as well?

 

[Darkmetal]

Troy is what most people are thinking.

The only solid clue we have is that whomever stole (or picked up) Jamie's phone (who was the one taking the selfies) is the source of the Arieth pictures BUT it shouldn't have Chad's info on it, so the blackmailer must have access to both somehow.

Two possible candidates out of left-field that no-one (I think) has mentioned.
Derek: He was in the last photo (and ergo where Jamie may have dropped the phone). He certainly hates the Alphas.
Anthony: He wants to be the Pres maybe and hitting both Chad and Dawe moves him closer? He may know about Chad and remember, he was the only one to point out that the Arieth photos were selfies and the different hairstyle meant a different time - exonerating the MC. Secretly smart? or he's seen the photos before?

But wouldn't Anthony prefer the suspicions to be on the DIKs' side? And it was Anthony who suggested Dawe to be the new leader.
