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

[KАRАMBA]

I kinda agree with both of you. If they regret it and work hard for it, they deserve a happy ending.
But it's not very realistic and bad choices usually end up badly. And like Karamba said, especially for a girl.
he great thing about fiction is that you can give anybody a happy ending as long as you make it work. It's definitely not just a Disney fairy tale rule, it's pretty standard in movies over all. Sometimes you have to break those rules for the sake of the story but in general, the redemption arc with a happy ending is very common and popular.

OK, it probably works for movies.
But I just know too well how it all happens.
I love Quinn so damn much. I would never wish her anything bad.
But I'm a realist. And sometimes I see what she's doing and I think, damn it, girl, what the fuck are you doing?!
This business is not for her. It hurts me to see her, a seemingly smart girl, doing stupid things.
When she couldn't resist Lily's offer, it was painful to see.
She has no support, no protection. What is she thinking?
Even if it's not Vinny, then someone else who does business in this neighborhood will definitely run into her in this.
And what will she do?
What will she do if several guys come up to her in the alley and say - You will pay us as much as we say.
She can't do anything. She's counting on Buddy, and that guy who hangs out in his kennel, Mick, I think.
But as it turned out, it was a stupid calculation on her part.
I'm annoyed that she doesn't see this, doesn't understand that she's alone, and no one needs her.
She's deceiving herself by thinking that she's badass. Unfortunately, in reality, such self-deception is very expensive.
It's the grave or jail.
For a young guy, going to jail at a young age is not too scary. That's ok. For some, it can even be a useful experience.
But for a girl, it's a broken fate. Female beauty is very fragile, like a flower.
In harsh conditions, this "flower" withers very quickly.
And after jail, they become of no use to anyone, except for some dregs of society.

To me Maya new look better then the old one

Goth Maya is kind of Hot, but I would still prefer if this was only with Josy. or it would have been a separate scene for each

 

[SharksLasers69]

Our guy can barely see anything, he didn't even think to find out Sage's last name after hanging out with her for two months. Everyone around him knows the obvious.

Yet she uses the name Sage Morgan, Tremolo is not an idiot when Sage isn't using her adopted Family's last name

The black lipstick is a good look for Maya, I didn't think there would be a 3some but got that wrong but I'm sure there will be a solo scene to

 

[I'm Canadian bub]

You're not wrong but it still annoys me that DPC makes it so that no one even hinted at it before. The way it plays out makes it a poorly conceived plot device. At least, if there were more scenes where other characters made allusions to it especially directly to the MC then it would feel more natural but nope we just get the moments with Jacob and Tommy then Quinn and Riona in the first season.

Obviously, since MC checking if Josy wearing her Butt plug ! Likely this trip can't be wasted , by not having Josy solo Anal scene

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Yet she uses the name Sage Morgan, Tremolo is not an idiot when Sage isn't using her adopted Family's last name

It's not that important because everyone knows who she is and what family she comes from, the same thing with Jill, but it goes unnoticed by the MC.
DPC make him dumper sometimes just for the sake of plot.

 

[MiltonPowers]

Lily is a stripper at the Pink Rose which is not illegal. Sometimes she breaks the rules and has sex with customers, but she's not one of Quinn's girls.

Does she? Do we really know Lily has sex with her customers?

She doesn't work in the VIP lounge. Yours is just an assumption. Not a fact.

Lily only has sex with Tremolo. She was a virgin when they met.

View attachment 4389093

Kind seems like anal going to happen during the 3some hopefully both

 

[ZenoMod]

Not the same thing guys. Tremolo wasn't her customer during the Prep's party. That BJ was just a gesture. Besides if you have CHICK affinity, she doesn't ask for money.

OK, she didn't break the rules of the Pink Rose. She wasn't even at the Pink Rose. I'll give you that.

But I don't have the feeling that the tale is set in a State where prostitution is legal. If so, she broke the law.
(And if prostitution is legal, she didn't break the law, but she acted as a prostitute)

If a girl gives BJs in exchange for money (even to just one boy), she is a prostitute. The fact that she also gives BJs for free to boys she likes is irrelevant.

If I steal a car, I am a thief, even if I also own a car that I paid for...

---

Anyway, my point was that Lily is not involved in Quinn's "Restaurant", so Quinn being busted shoudn't directly cause problem to Lily.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

The big plot hole in Nora's story is that the app gives you an idea of how near the other person is and she couldn't figure out that Distance + Age = B&R student. A doctor didn't realise that a guy, who was of an age typical of college students and living at the same distance as the college she teaches classes for, might be a student at that college and turn up in her class. This lack of deductive reasoning leads me to believe that B&R must be hiring people for their looks and thus there should be at least a dozen sexy female teachers on the payroll.

Not necessarily. If it's a big city there are most likely other colleges. And considering how many go to that school, the chances it would be a future student of hers is very slim. A US university have an average of 6500 students. The average Student–teacher ratio in the US is 18-to-1, meaning she proberbly teaches 2 classes max. Let's say she has 20 per semester, 40 students in total in a year. That's 0.6% chance that he would end up in her class. Add all other colleges in the city area and it becomes much less likely.

that is why I said we might see it in an epilogue, because the game wont be goes beyond Sage's graduation, than let her be removed from the game, replaced by an another Main girl, and MC start his second semester.
and may be the president might be voted for candidates by the members. But only in the next Year, what the game won't be delivering in to.

But it has already been decided that Quinn will take over and there is a year of training first, so if Quinn goes, they will need a replacement asap. Why would they suddenly decide to just leave it to next year and have an unprepared new President?

Perhaps because she is/was? with Tommy and so would know about the drugs that Quinn is selling behind Sage's back. Then again I don't think Sage is in the dark about the drugs, only about Quinn trying to expand things and the "restaurant".

Sage might no about them smoking weed but I'm sure she has no idea about them selling drugs, especially the heavier kind. Also, didn't she mention once that she was against drugs or am I remembering wrong?

Come'n man... She looks stunning in that dress!

Fun fact: DPC have said that this scene was one of the hardest to animate and took a lot longer than it should have because of that. He wasn't really satisfied with the end result either but felt he didn't have time to work on it more.

The suspension of disbelief is thrown out of the window so to speak, right in the first episode,When Dawe attack a Teacher, and he still in the school not to mention he is the President of the Alphas currently.

View attachment 4388840

True. Not sure how he got away with that. Maybe the teachers don't have much to say. The scene was most likely to show that the school was a mess and a comment about how students have lost respect for teachers since the teachers can't do anything at the risk of getting sued. Maybe it's not as common thing in the US but it's talk about a lot here in Sweden.
And we also don't know who Dawe's parents are. There are theories that his parents are powerful because he gets aways with so much.

Wait, Heather is not involved in "the Restaurant", is she?

Nope.

Lily is a stripper at the Pink Rose which is not illegal. Sometimes she breaks the rules and has sex with customers, but she's not one of Quinn's girls.

I thought she was. You have to pay her in Episode 5 but maybe that's her stripper charge? Thinking about it, she doesn't ask for money any other time after that. But she partnered up with Quinn and does sell drugs so that would be a risk.

 

[Crusader of Romance]

The drugs.

Is she really involved in that?

I'd imagine that if Sage (or someone else) catches Quinn she'll know about everyone else too. How would she only know about Quinn?

It depends on how it happens.

It's just my impression, but I've got this feeling that HOT's crisis is actually going to happen sooner rather than later. Major plot point in Season 4. The rule of not turning on each other is going to be pushed to the limit.

I also think it will happen soon. DPC said season 4 would not be a usual season and be about endings. So I kinda expect all major plot points reaching climax this season and season 4 be about the fallout.

Ep 10 isn't kind on many girls' hair if you ask me

I agree with Rickthequick.

In Ep10 Maya's hairdo looks like italian singers in 1970...

 

[Ricthequick]

You're not wrong but it still annoys me that DPC makes it so that no one even hinted at it before. The way it plays out makes it a poorly conceived plot device. At least, if there were more scenes where other characters made allusions to it especially directly to the MC then it would feel more natural but nope we just get the moments with Jacob and Tommy then Quinn and Riona in the first season.

I mean there are VNs out there that make BADIK pale in comparison on this aspect.
I mean yes DPC doesn't make Tremolo look too smart at times, but he isn't (in example) being promoted and provided with corporate tricks by a total stranger without even wondering why this stranger is doing it... (sorry went a bit offtopic lol).

The point is nobody in-game feels the need to point it out because they all already know, or simply don;t care about the information, so maybe Tremolo being his smart self who only thinks about 1 thing:



Doesn't even stop to ponder it?

She wish she was 1/2 as hot as Patty!

EDIT
mate you opened up for me one of those weird rabbit holes... Maya actually has something of a Patty Bravo

 

[Crusader of Romance]

One also needs to agree on what an happy ending would be?
Every person is different, Quinn's happy ending might not really look as such to someone like, let's say Jill.

Very true. Happy ending, in this case, means it could have been a lot worse and has a silver lining.

OK, it probably works for movies.
But I just know too well how it all happens.
I love Quinn so damn much. I would never wish her anything bad.
But I'm a realist. And sometimes I see what she's doing and I think, damn it, girl, what the fuck are you doing?!

Very true. I agree with you on this. That's why I earlier today said it was too late for her but you mentioned that her turning point could come in the next episode, so if it does, maybe she has a chance.

Why DPC gotta do Maya like that? It's not really a bad style just a bad style for her, she had an almost messy but sexy style before! This on top of the fact I kind of like Riona now when it sounds like pain is on the way with her(I'm behind everyone on this but chose to spoil myself). I really do think castrating Tybalt is the only thing that will make me feel better.

It took a while but now we have turned reality upside down.

no one mentions it, not even that intrepid hero Jacob, not even Sage when she asks him to accompany her

but then exactly, if no one tells you, how are you supposed to guess someone's surname?

an autistic college where MC is above average, not by much....
