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

[Better Cock Spock]

i didnt tell josy about chad, but mod chose jill when i click the "mod:all"
im playing with every 3 of them's path rn, thanks to scrappy's mod

but i'm confused, wdym by saying ep 11? isnt this version of game is ended ep10?

At this point, I'd recommend using Sancho's mod instead. Scrappy's is more like brute force, because the game absolutely wasn't designed to have more than one path after Episode 8. Or just stop using mods altogether and follow a walkthrough instead. Either way, you'll have to delete the persistent files and install a fresh save.

You haven't made your religion official yet, in the eyes of the state you still have to pay taxes karamba. I understand that you and Quinn are very talented chemists.

O you of little faith, get off me.

Well, I particularly like the story a lot. I think the plot is written very well at the end of the day, even if you could argue that it's lazily done since the pacing isn't exactly the best. But the way the mysteries and such somewhat important plot points are written + the way they manage to keep the player's curiosity aroused is what I like. That's actually partially due to the pacing as well even if I'm not exactly a big fan of it, since some of them turn out to be nothing important at the end, but that's the way it is at times. I like the way the majority of the story is pretty basic, but it's the little details and small key points that I truly find enjoyable to look for when playing the game. I also think that a lot of the characters are fairly well-written and while most of the time plenty of them are only relatable in minor ways, that's not inherently a bad thing in a game like this. Now onto what I like the most; the gameplay. Choice-based games have always been a big favorite of mine, since you as the player are given control over how the story unfolds itself, how the main character's personality is defined by your decisions and so on. That also adds to the replayability of the game which is one of the things Being a DIK does really well. This game is meant to be replayed many times over and trying out different paths/outcomes of choices is part of the appeal, at least to me it is. I could go on and name more stuff that I like about the game but this is mostly why I'm invested in it.

And I don't really see anything to disagree with here which is nice.

I personally like how most of the choices have some short term effect, but in the long term they mostly just affect your DIK score. You can try out a lot of different combinations and still end up in the result you want so long as the majority of your choices are compatible with it. Especially with the Major choices. I appreciate the ability to make four DIK choices and still end up with a permanent CHICK affinity and vice versa.

And the DIK - CHICK spectrum is actually a very good way to measure a person's character. Sometimes being a DIK (PUN!) is to be brave and sometimes it is to be an asshole. Sometimes being a CHICK is to be caring and sometimes it is to be a coward. Which is good and which is bad is very dependent on the situation. But a person defaulting to a cautious or a bold approach still tells you a lot about them. It is a significant detail about a person that is completely neutral in terms of morality.

Just stating how I will do my first play of episode 11 when it gets here.

It does as little as possible to mess with the game. You can change variables, add cash, it'll tell you what happens with certain choices, you can cheat the minigames, but it's as close to as invisible as you can get. Sancho himself can help you out, but you should read everything about cleaning up first before installing his mod.

Faith won't pay my retirement fund. Where's the money Karamba Quinn said you could afford it.

Sir, are you aware that impersonating an IRS officer is a serious felony? Why, it is almost as dangerous as impersonating a Disney character.

Practically none. Kinda depends on how strict your definition is.

thanks for the suggestion mini-games feature is great but i gotta ask

in scrappy's mod there is a variables section, you can change your old choices with that. for example you need to reject cathy's bj for isabella's path (as far as i remember) and i was accept but for isabella's path i changed that later. is there feature like this in sancho's mod?

Sure. It also allows you to get a bit of perspective early on in the game on what the CHICK and DIK status/affinity stands for and what the repercussions of making those kinds of choices are without being too linear, so that you can pretty much figure out how you want to play the game as you're playing it since it lets you make a few errors in your playthrough at times without being too unforgiving in order for you to be able to continue with your preferred path even if you might've fucked up with a few choices in your run. Of course, that depends on the path itself as well since some of the girls are way easier to get with than others. With Jill or Quinn, you'll have to be careful with your decisions so that you don't end up with a scene that ends their path, whereas with someone like Sage, you don't really have to be too wary of things like that.

And the DIK - CHICK spectrum is actually a very good way to measure a person's character. Sometimes being a DIK (PUN!) is to be brave and sometimes it is to be an asshole. Sometimes being a CHICK is to be caring and sometimes it is to be a coward. Which is good and which is bad is very dependent on the situation. But a person defaulting to a cautious or a bold approach still tells you a lot about them. It is a significant detail about a person that is completely neutral in terms of morality.

It's a simple system but it works very well. What the most favourable choice may be depends on the situation and more importantly your own point of view on it.

If your name is not Tybalt, you are fine, there is no NTR in the game.

To a lesser degree, yes. Like I said, Sancho wants his mod to be as unobtrusive as possible. More of a guiding hand for the majority than a sledgehammer. Changing variables on the fly makes it extremely easy for a save to get fucked beyond recognition.

Scrappy is like a guy forcing his girlfriend into uncomfortable positions, while Sancho uses foreplay and sensual persuasion to get his girl to do everything she is comfortable doing, and maybe more.

thank you mate, i will try sancho's

Cool. Like I said, Sancho will help you out, but making it easier for him will make it easier for you. Read the first page and see what you need to do, I know people who switch from Scrappy to Sancho think it's as easy as just installing the mod and them get surprised when it isn't.
