[Geralt From Rivia]

Since I started this shit, I'll help you:

• KАRАMBA
• Darkwen the Josy lover
• Geralt From Rivia

You guys can be the first ones.

It's pretty simple for me, I admit that no one is perfect. Perfect characters are boring and unattractive.
Who likes Mary Sue ?

Sage's #1 problem is that she gets obsessed with a person/idea and can lose her mind, despite the fact that she is a pretty smart girl. For example, like in the situation with Chad, she was blindly in love with this guy not realizing that it was not real. Sage is obsessed with finding out who Chad is cheating on her with. So much so that it harms her commitment to HOTs. Same obsession interest is seen when she interested in MC. She is obsessed with ruining everything for her brother because she hates him: and I will not say that she does anything wrong here, but I am talking about the passion with which she does it. Stephen comments to Maya: "My daughter is too passionate about things." Sometimes it is good, sometimes it can be harmful to herself. It is part of her personality, the personification of the elemental of fire.
2. Outbursts of anger. This is something that can become a problem in their relationship. Sage easily explodes and attacks, MC is afraid of this. She understands this and promises to work on herself, seeing the example of the toxic relationship of Jade/Stefan and MC knows how to look into her soul.

Is there any estimated date for the latest version release?

Are you guys taking notes? *winks at Mordreut and other simps

This is how you point out your favorite character's flaws. Learn from the master... learn from the one and only... Geralt From Rivia. I wouldn't expect anything less. Well done, dude!

 

[WolfmanBR]

Personally, I think all the girls in BADIK have flaws, which is one of the great strengths of this AVN: the possibility for most people to relate to the characters on different levels. Of the 5 MG, Bella and Jill are the least relatable to me.

JILL - I've met at least two girls like Jill and my problem is ingenuity in human relationships outside of their privileged and comfortable "gilded cage". Especially after we learn about her sister and how she apparently left to live an existence of her own choosing, far from the privileged reality into which she was born. I just don't have patience with this type of person, it really unnerves me, it makes me want to slap that person until they fucking wake up! So... when I do my replays, I always leave her story arc to play last.

BELLA - I don't think Bella hates men, but she definitely lives in the past. Plus, there's the whole “teacher/student” issue, which seems to create more problems than be Jade's “private revenge fuckboy” Still, the whole mystery surrounding her husband leaves me intrigued enough to engage with her arc. A possible future for this couple seems really hard to become a reality, unless a change a scenery occur in the future. Who knows?


JOSY/MAYA - I have zero problems with the idea of a threesome. In fact, nowadays, being more mature and knowing myself better, it would be my ideal type of relationship. Obviously it's not easy at all, especially the way this throuple started. Honesty and communication is essential in any relationship, but in a polyamorous relationship like a threesome, these two characteristics become pillars that can easily collapse. That said, I really think it's a shame that DPC turned Josy into a true nothing as a character, a girl like any other, as she is told to during the Halloween party. As for Maya, if in real life I would stay away from someone with all her family drama (believe me, I've had my share of similar families in real life, that's enough for me!!), playing this AVN, I feel compelled to try to help for her to find some kind of happiness and redemption, to get rid of all the shadow that her father casts over the entire family. Contrary to the majority of this forum (at least, apparently) I would like to see this threesome happily thrive, I don't think it's impossible, there are examples around the world who even got married and had children. However, it seems that DPC will actually direct us to a scenario of choice between the two characters. And to be completely honest, I'd choose Maya, every single time.


SAGE - Another character with a problematic family, but who I think has greater capacity to grow as a person than Maya, for instance. The outbursts of anger, the obsessive personality, all of this can be channeled in a positive way if the person wants to and has someone to support them to process this change. I think that a character who still has a lot to grow and the possibility of confrontation with the MC depending on the choices made, could be a turning point that takes her towards that maturity. As for Quinn and the possible consequences of having trusted her somewhat blindly to lead the HOT's, I think that has explosive possibilities! Furthermore, I consider it very hot, sexually creative, safe and fun, in addition to the possibility of bringing a "third party" to bed occasionally, in order to spice things up, haha!

While some people can't say anything bad about their favorite girl, others are so good at it that it even confuses you. I have no idea who your favorite girl is, you trashtalked them all.

Wow!!! Sorry it looked that way!!! Really!!!

Well let me try to fix that:

TOP 4 FAVORITE MAIN GIRLS (in that order)

1 - Sage
2- Josy/Maya
3- Bella
4- Jill

TOP 5 FAVORITE SIDE GIRLS (in that order)

1 - Quinn
2 - Riona
3 - Nicole
4 - Lily
5 - Cathy

TOP 3"WISHFUL THINKING"

1 - Sally
2 - Elena (zero problems with a triple fun w/ John Boy; if someone's offer his girl, I take it!)
3 - Rose

 

[iamcomming]

Okay, as a man of honor, I have to be honest with you.
With a heavy heart, I have to admit that the Divine Quinn has a flaw, a big flaw.
She's too perfect. Too beautiful.
It's not fair to others.
Everyone else just pales in comparison to her.

What faults Josy is perfection Josy is insecure at times and has a fear of being alone but those or at least could be coming to a end soon. I love everything about her so is it really a fault or greatness in the from of a beautiful Goddess

me too. me too.
DPC had to make vinny to kindnap Rio, because she was too perfect. her cuteness is over the moon, thats why happend it at night. even the sun cant shine on her, because she had her own shine. her desire is out of the blue, Zoey came back, beause Zoey thought the sea is here now.

 

[hanumania]

I am hoping the 10.0 to 10.0.1 patch fixes this game breaker?
By this traceback I can't see any way of fixing.


edit: tragedy, the patch does not fix the problem below. The game encounters an impassable unignorable crash right after the power goes out at the halloween party. This interlude doesn't seem available on steam to purchasers of S1&2, anyone know what the problem might be?

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Wow!!! Sorry it looked that way!!! Really!!!

Nah, you nailed it!
Especially about Sage. It's really hard to talk bad about her. There aren't many reasons.

[Macky009]

Yeah, I know. I tagged Geralt From Rivia because I wanted to see what he would say about Sage. Aside from the anger issues and the fact that Sage is a questionable leader, I can't think of anything else bad to say about best girl Sage.

It's pretty simple for me, I admit that no one is perfect. Perfect characters are boring and unattractive.

Sage's #1 problem is that she gets obsessed with a person/idea and can lose her mind, despite the fact that she is a pretty smart girl.

I can think of one more flaw for Sage. It's kinda cute and funny. She's a messy eater, oh boy I can never forget her side comment about the weather reporter during that scene while MC is talking to his dad

Is there any estimated date for the latest version release?

Yeah, there is. Actually it's not official yet but lets do the math together.

Preview #25: Josy is the latest preview, and DPC posted this on December 2nd. He is on vacation right now. If we assume that this is a 1-month vacation, he will return from vacation on January 2nd. So... Preview #26 should be posted on January 3rd. There will be 30 previews in total... and there're usually 10 days between each previews.

• Preview #26 - January 3rd
• Preview #27 - January 13th
• Preview #28 - January 23th
• Preview #29 - February 3rd
• Preview #30 - February 13th

Lets give him a week for beta testing of EP11. This means February 20th, but this day is thursday... and remember he always chooses fridays to release the updates.

So... February 21th, Friday is the releasing day of EP11!

A little bit messy and even that was presented cutely. This pic is a good meme source

The main thing is to be a little messy, so that she doesn't turn our room into Asmongold's house

[360 Danny DeVitos Later]

It would actually be interesting to see what flaws can people point out for their favorite characters.

It's no secret I love Nicole, but I think she have a bad habbit of oversharing information with her friends. Now maybe this changes the more serious the relationship gets, but I wasn't big fan of Nicole saying MC's age at bar to Sandy for example.

Sage has a random guy she's met I think once spy on her boyfriend, with the implication she'd fuck him for doing so. She then potentially follows through on that and cheats with said random. All while she seemingly wishes to continue her relationship with Chad. Chad dumps Sage, she does not dump Chad. Early on she's essentially using Fuckface. She's happy to cheat and use sex to manipulate and get her way she was literally going to fuck him openly on a couch at a party. That entire thing is a red flag parade. In RL I'm noping out at the spying stage because if random hot redhead will spy and cheat on him, she'd do it to me. You couldn't get a bigger stay clear sign. If a relationship has reached the stage you're hiring spies that relationship has ran it's course but Sage cannot just let it go, same with thinking it's Mel or Sarah (and she's wrong the thots did nowt wrong). She's like a dog with a bone if angry. None of this exactly screams ideal girlfriend. And raises the question of what she'd be like with Fuckface during rough patches or really rough patches such as if he engaged in a little mumlandlady banging.

She's also temperamental, struggles to be emotionally open and is overly trusting. My wife's a redheaded Estonian; not exactly the most emotionally open people and yes big temper once it's lost. And trust me them two first things together are a recipe for a fucking explosion if not addressed. You can see that with Chad it's all built up in Sage. The latter one Sage seemingly misses what is right in front of her if she trusts someone (Chad and Quinn). Her extreme reaction to Chad is something I've seen with people that trust deeply, when finally suspicious they aggressively over correct. I don't know how intentional that was by DPC though. Sage shows a willingness to address the first two and the game hasn't shown if the third is even an issue for anyone but Sage herself.

I think most of Sages real flaws are front loaded. When she's going through a time of dissatifaction, anger, hurt, suspicion and loneliness. That is seemingly Sage at her worse but it is still deeply flawed behaviour. We see enough from her later on that temper and communication are her real main flaws and she has expressed a willigness to be more open. But honestly I like the fact she doesn't behave perfectly or even rationally at times because people don't. Sage been far from perfect makes her a better character not a worse one imo. I also feel Fuckface meeting Sage when she's such a mess deepens their dynamic, you can see why Sage regards him highly after it all whether he's a friend or boyfriend.


To any fellow Sage simps upset at the Sage slander above. It is ALL ENTIRELY 100% Lord Bradley's fault. Please direct the piranhas and deranged Madame fanart to his postbox.

Not even close...

 

[ZenoMod]

This is DPC original art. He released it through his patreon.

He refered to it as the

as the male characters are both the MC.

So he (sort of) satisfied those wanting Sage being double teamed while (sort of) not triggering the Anti-NTR brigade with the original idea of cloning the MC.
We've never seen such a clever stratagem to keep everybody (sort of) happy in any other AVN.

(Well, at least DPC made it just for some special renders, and not part of the game itself... otherwise I were starting to fear time loops and AI controlling BaD's universe... )
