Sage being the only main girl that's available to a DIK MC with her not even actually having a preference in that honestly shows how much DPC would like the players to lean more to the CHICK side. Quinn is the only one who actually prefers the MC as a DIK and she's not even a main girl by title.
dik complatible:Mel, Sarah, Heather, Becky as Quinn
just preferer dik but still complatible chick/neut: Sage, Lily, Cammy, Sandy

Heather, Becky and Sandy arent matter i think. they have too few scenes
I don't get Jill. I mean, she is gorgeous when she doesn't open her mouth...

Relationships are obviously going to differ, but coming from the perspective of an older married guy, it's really not surprising to me that the main LIs favor CHICK choices most the time. Generally speaking, the CHICK choices better reflect, to me, someone with the desire and temperament to pursue and sustain long-term relationships, and while some of the main LIs start fairly casual (Sage in particular), they're all clearly set up to evolve into something long-term. DIK choices, by contrast, generally represent impulsive or emotionally unregulated decisions, which usually are not positive factors for long-term commitments and seem more likely to lead to casual flings.

- Isabella is available for DIK run too, the main thing is to play the cards correctlyright in the early game. For example, beating up Troy, commenting about the bad food in the cafeteria, wearing a helmet dildo in front of her in Ep. 3 gives -Rp Isabella, doing well on the pop quiz, commenting that you also hate Tybalt gives +Rp Isabella and you need to keep these points in the plus zone, at least having +1. And don't be a dick to her early. I have a DIK run with her and it only blocks a few things that require Chick affinity, such as making her comfortable in Ep.9.

-Maya and Josy required Neutral/Chick only at their path start in Ep.4 when you asking them to try throuple. Next, you can end full DIK permanent and they don't care. Josy even more ok with DIK MC then Maya, since she likes his DIK moments, for example draw dicks on Steve portrait gives you +2 Rp Josy. But this is Josy, she fell for MC matter what.

The only girl who requires Neutral/Chick permanently is Jill and there is no way around it.
So can't say that game is Chick-centric by DPCs writing, but some DIK choices can bite you later. Punching Patrick, cheating on midterms or go with Jade can end badly.

I agree with this, and it doesn't even necessarily conflict with my own observation 2 posts before it.

With DIK decisions representing impulsive, reckless, emotionally unregulated, etc choices, it's really not surprising if some of them come back and bite you in the ass, even if not all of them have consequences. At the same time, a little impulsiveness in the form of romantic spontaneity can be a good thing for certain romantic partners, so long as you remain aware of where you should reel things back.

I will say that since the game is only partially complete, we can't really say for sure that Maya/Josy or even Isabella don't care about how far DIK you go after starting with them. I pretty much guarantee that all the main LI paths will face some relationship crisis (or more than one) before the game ends, and it might turn out that if you're too much of a DIK, they break things off. Structurally speaking, it wouldn't surprise me if we have something coming up in Episode 11, since it would set up Episode 12 for a resolution of a crisis before end of this Season arc, and it would serve as a good first "test" of our relationship since committing to exclusivity a few Episodes before.

F... why did I want to make a J&M run? I feel so bad now... :cry:
View attachment 3809231
Huh, I don't remember this from my J&M run. Maybe because I didn't pursue Bella or Jill beyond episode 3 or so in mine?

Edit: I still followed Sage up until the "breakup", which (at least with CHICK affinity) she handles very well. And I'm secretly hoping later on that the throuple is open to experimentation for a MJS foursome. :p

Oh I went after everyone that was possible (so everyone but Quinn pretty much), so just had to dump Bella, Sage, Jill and all the others...
Bella I'll miss... the others eh, and besides what happens later, sort of sad about Rio and her OCD :D

Immature, impulsive, daring, but in many ways more fun decisions. The DIK character is simply more fun to play. Even the dialogue is different and positions Tremolo as a more decisive and assertive guy. I would compare DIK and Chick to Dean and Sam Winchester or Tony Stark/Steve Rogers. Both are positive characters, but they have different personalities.

And here the main thing is to learn to understand which DIK solutions are safe and just for fun, and which ones can be a problem, I agree. In my "golden canon" run with Sage, in addition to the above, I avoid Quinn's restaurant and choose a nursing home. But I always fight with alphas, Tommy gets paid for being an asshole, smoke weed with Quinn, get revenge on a nerd (paybacks are fun), go full party in Pink Rose, that is, get the maximum college experience without serious consequences. I also try to avoid mushrooms on LIs routes, leaving them for Others.
I see that crises with LIs will depend not on the MCs affinity points, but on the mines that DPC has laid for each route. Jade drama with Sage, imbalance of attention in Throuple, where you devote more time to one of the girls or even provoke to ignore the other partner, hinting at Maya or Josy to go solo. Create a Jill/Bella love triangle, as well as the most fresh innovation - cheating points if your MC can't keep his dick in his pants. And we also have Zoey. Overall, it looks like it'll be fun.

Hah, I have a run like that too, but decided on my M+J run to play MC more as the "interested in something long-term" guy, so didn't do much casual stuff or playing around, especially after starting things with them in Episode 4.

Overall I still think (and I'm being picky I know) being all on DIK could have been handled a bit better, in example no matter what this is what happens

And if you have been "DIKing" everyone on the face of earth, makes relatively no sense.

Yeah those are my main saves I don't like playing the field in these games at least once I decided on a LI so I typically make a save for every LI now days that I like haven't played a manslut save in months in any AVN. Which is also why I dislike Sage's FWB path I will only get with Sage come Chapter 7 at the Hot's party and not have sex with anyone else on my Sage saves.

I do still need to do others branch and Bella for Season 3. I got to burnt out when the last update dropped redoing all my saves and haven't went back yet. Not even sure if I will play Bella's path till the end of the Season to be honest I found her path a chore to get past as it was to awkward for me

It was weird for me too. This "fixed point in time" is not what I expected. I expected DIK to be more confident. But of course, you can come up with an excuse that “For MC she is a very important person (that’s right, the most important after his father) and he couldn't contain his emotions, that all his DIK-insolence as a facade disappeared at this moment and we can all get our weak ones moments, even the coolest of us"
This is understandable. DPC wanted to show Tremolo's emotional closeness to Zoey, as he didn't do much of that in Interlude, spending most of his screen time on the California tattoo parlor junkies instead of focusing on Zoey/MC relationship.
But I would have preferred the variability in this moment, which many others have, but that's just me.
