"Don't worry Maya, I'll pay for your tuition!"
View attachment 3685808
Burke was extremely surprised by the new recruiter for Quinn's restaurant. "But what can I do, this girl is fucked in the head, and I have to do business with her. A job is a job. If this guy want a free tuition, he should to surprise me"[Unzip sound].

Real in an absurdly unreal situation? No, I don't buy it.

Of course you have a right to your own likes and dislikes, but candidly the writing in this game sucks. While DPC has shown occasional good dialogue, and even good characterization, it's far from consistent. The plotting of the story is horrendously bad, even basic research is ignored completely. There are some well written games out there, but this isn't one of them.
I'm not saying your opinion is wrong or anything I'm just disagreeing on certain points. Do I think that the over arching plot of the game is gonna win some sort of award? god no. Do I think that the characterization of the LIs is done well? Yes, actualy i do, I think the characterization is done reasonably well.

You seem to have a much harsher view on things in general than i do, so we'll likely never agree, but that's fine.

Personally I don't like to accuse characters of stupidity when so many details of the situation are unknown to me. Mostly I consider them young rather than stupid.

But there is a plot point regarding character intelligence that does bother me. Josy and Lily both show themselves to be smart, so why were they put on the waiting list? Lily especially is doing well in class. Josy could be a case of being smart socially and not academically, but Lily definitely isn't. I can think of plausible reasons for it, but I'd really like an official explanation.

I can't remember the story specifics that I'm sure will prove this not to be the case, but I like to think it could be a case of late applications. Here in the UK, there would be "Clearance" (at least, there was back in the day when I was 18, not sure about now) where you can apply late to a university if it still had spaces available. This would usually be as a panicked last resort after being rejected from your given choices, but it could also be for other reasons (I think).

Lily might have some issues with working scholarship and could have been put on waiting list for that issue, it is my head cannon until more clarification from DPC.

I haven't hated on this game for too long so here I am, for my mandatory, "Being a DIK" recurring roast.

Crunching 4 different, independent and not contradictory character traits (4 is the soft version) into one numerical variable of "DIK" is stupid.
"Building a character around one dimension" reminds me of something...
I think there was something with similar name. Hm...
Oh, "one dimensional character"! I am sure everyone loves those, right?

to you Lily seems so much interested in the educational path that BR can offer her? she doesn't seem to me like a girl who sweats over books :oops:

Like I said, I can think of plausible reasons for this. It's simply a point I want an explanation on. At this point we have Tommy's explanation that "reject" girls have low inhibitions, but if that is actual causation rather than simply correlation, then B&R is a really weird college. Which it of course is anyway, but I'd like the explanation for most of the plot to be better than "because porn"

Oh... I agree... I was thinking about girl's clothes but, overall, you're right. On the other hand, in this case, Mr. DPC has the excuse the male characters are underprivileged in Daz Store and other asset stores. There are better choices though. I wouldn't wear it and I wouldn't dress a character like that unless I wanted to make him look ridiculous.
It’s understandable that MC is a hobo who lived in a trash can and can’t afford normal clothes, but these T-shirts are really ridiculous

Like FanArt? I'm game but I think it'll have to be on the other thread otherwise they'll nuke us from here (at least, that's what happens to me when the mod interprets something I post as "fan art" even if the purpose was a meme). But it would be interesting to see here the best and the worst outfits from the game (in screenshots) in the opinion of people here. That won't be nuked (I guess...). I'll try to do a rerun when I have time to make my choices.
Yes, I exactly meant screenshots; we have a separate thread for fan art. I just thought that many SGs understand fashion better than MGs. In the early episodes they simply dressed "less is better", following the principles of porn novels, but there is a noticeable improvement in quality in the newer episodes:

- Riona is more of an accurate goth girl look instead of wearing a tiny top.

If we look at Lily outside of Pink Rose or her Halloween costume, she also dresses stylishly:

Quinn, when not dressing like a hoe, her outfit shows off her tough, streetwise personality. Raised by the hood, so to speak.

Zoey is a tomboy and punk rebel and her outfits are usually on style.

It feels like all the good outfits in the BaDIK universe were bought by Side Girls. The exception is probably Jill, who always looks elegant in her classic outfits (They wrote this about Josy, but it is more applicable to Jill):

My head canon explanation for the "less is better" is that they are dressing for hot summer temperatures and it's just colder in October/November when newer episodes take place.

Jill is even in her bumblebee costume elegant too. but in the banana 50% ridiculous, 50% funny, 10% cute.

Well,, now MC "dating with her" regardless. :whistle::LOL:

which remind me, a nice little, bitching era of the topic :

after the end of episode 6, when we learned that Maya's father coming, there was lots, I mean lots of comments about folks, not want DPC to force them to pretend to be Maya's Boyfriend.

Ironic that none has a single problem with it in episode 10 :whistle::ROFLMAO:
That's a lie. I hate pretending to be her boyfriend but since there is a solution, I only have to pretend on one path.

Don't sure, episode 8 events happening in October, but girls keep wearing revealing clothes. It’s just that these props are of higher quality and look better. After all, he started the game in 2019 with much less offerings in the DAZ store.
Holy Shit, Maya's new hair is spreading. It needs to be killed with fire before it lays eggs. :cautious:
No, this is a different hairstyle, they are completely different.
