It's not the 'freeing' I'm really referring too, I mean you could argue Mona knew too much and Burke had to have her leave as she knew too much etc etc

I was more referring to the fact that in this situation Quinn had "groomed" two girls who would be ideal for the restaurant and therefore the scholarships, but when it came down to it she couldn't have been more wrong.

Now one girl who knew too much that could bring down the operation, that's a mistake, easily dealt with. Two on the other hand, well that's dangerous. That's a pattern, we better get her in check before her delusions of grandure pull the whole thing down.

but there remains a huge difference between how dangerous Mona is, who knows everything, including Burke's own involvement, and Maya, who knows nothing

are not really comparable

I need help with patching the game!
I finished 1st & 2nd season on v.0.8.3 and patched the game first with "BeingADIK-0.10.0-pc-lin/ Season 3 Interlude + Episode 10" and then with "BeingADIK-0.10.1-pc-lin-patch/ Patch (EP 9 to EP10 & v0.10.0 to v0.10.1)" and I keep getting an error! I thought that the 0.10.1 patch would fix it but no. I Couldn't find "BeingADIK-0.9.0-pc-lin & BeingADIK-0.9.1-pc-lin" patches and thought that "BeingADIK-0.10.0-pc-lin" would just do it or even that it contains those files from 0.9.0 & 0.9.1.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Dude I think you mix thing's up. Season 1 and Season 2 which contains ep1 to ep8 is a different file to Season 3 which contains interlude, ep9 and ep10. The patch you installed is for season 3, that is why you receive an error.

This is interlude, ep9 and ep10
Screenshot_2025-01-06-23-12-24-08_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg

This ep 1 to 8
Screenshot_2025-01-06-23-12-57-62_40deb401b9ffe8e1df2f1cc5ba480b12.jpg

Download season 3 and the patch then run the game. At the start menu you will see and import icon, click it to carry over your previous save data from ep 1 to 8

Dicks for show, Footlong for pros! I wonder what her story is. If I remember correctly, she mentioned something about a tough past and that she's gonna build her life on her own. Another rich rebel? Or maybe I got her confused with someone else...

That, with her smoking for free, and her idea to sell weed and Hash to the preps (planning to just walk up to Tybalt at the party and ask him:FacePalm:), does paint a picture that she's not the brilliant business woman she thinks she is. It's been one disaster after another.

No, I'm not really comparing them, what I'm saying is Quinn made a big fuck up with both of them. The results of that fuck are neither here nor there, ultimately one fuck up lead to a girl getting cold feet and possibly knowing to much about the silent partner that is Burke. what Maya may or may not know is besides the point she fucked up there too, proper misread Maya. And as a result there may be a girl out there who knows more than the partners want. My point is once is a mistake, twice (in such a short period of time) is a monumental fuck up. But ultimately it becomes evident Quinn is fucking up and putting whatever scheme they have in jeapordy.

I was just saying that if quinn to be priscilla, and some sort of criminal mastermind, well there's a few reasons why the game presents this as not the case.

And that's why all this "Priscilla is Quinn, the simple answer is usually right" theories are crap, because the Game is portraying Quinn as someone who has no aptitude to be Priscilla, she's just a small time player who thought she could play with the big boys and made error after error after error

You are applying it correctly and I love you. I'm sorry I'm rude about it, but I've had some experiences with people really digging in their heels and using "simplicity" as an argument.

The key point in understand Occam's Razor is what is meant by "simple". People mistake simple phrasing for simple claims. "Everything in this book is true" is a very simple phrase but as a claim can entail a massive amount of assertions depending on the book.

The question is: does Quinn being Priscilla actually make things simpler?

We know that the free tuition rumour is a way to bring in recruits for the restaurant and we know that it is partly true. Stephen arranges scholarships for the restaurant girls. It's "free" in the sense that they pay with sex instead of money.

Stephen chews Quinn out because she got cocky and a potential whistle blower like Maya got involved.

If the phone call was to Quinn and DPC wanted keep her name out of it the simplest way to do that was to not mention a name at all. "It's Stephen. We need to talk." would have covered it.

We know the scholarship scheme involves older customers because that's why Mona got cold feet. It's practically certain that Stephen isn't running it solo. Someone else brings in the customers while he manages the girls. So Priscilla being someone else involved doesn't really complicate matters at all, especially if she is the actual mastermind, who would have to be introduced to the plot anyway.

Madame Rose being part of the scheme would justify the character's existence, but she doesn't have to be Priscilla or the mastermind. It would just be simplest of all if she is both.

Nothing will ever justify the character's appearance, though. DPC shall never be forgiven for that one.

Devil's advocate: he calls Quinn "Priscilla" because he's fucking pissed, like if you royally fucked up and your mother calls you by your full name. But that's stretch.
Lagunavii said:
The Quinn = Priscilla theory is definitely dumb, and I don't think it's the simplest solution in this case. While yes, Quinn is written to have some "street smarts" and to have at least some sort of intellectual mind. She's also shown to be clearly out of her depth, not as good as playing people as she thought, not as good as reading people as she thought and generally not as good aplayer as she thought. Now if DPC is indeed trying to push us to think they're the same person, he's totally missed the landing,as to me the simplest solution in this case is she's someone else.

Clearly Priscilla is going to be Lana, who after being rejected and disowned by her parents, the Royce of B&R created an elaborate scheme, where as she fakes her death, then creates a drug empire to bring down her families school

And then we have sex with Lana right :sneaky:

Better Cock Spock said:
So Madame = Priscilla only because she's with Wallace? I know that her one and only appearance outside of the Pink Rose means she's going to play some sort of part going forward, but idk about being Priscilla. For one, how exactly does an expensive whore at a strip club fit into this free tuition scheme? Are we supposed to think that the restaurant girls level up into Pink Rose girls after college, like maybe even some of the current strippers are alumni and Madame facilitated hiring them?


Or is Priscilla a businesswoman who moonlights as a stripper that fucks for money? That's kinda weird, maybe she just enjoys sex so much that she might as well get paid for it. Or this could also just be an intentional misdirect, like with Chad and Mel. Maybe she's Wallace's date/escort, but of course that would be sorta pointless. Idk. Either way, I still don't give a crap about who Priscilla is, since DPC's mysteries are either dragged out too long or don't have satisfying answers :HideThePain:

Although it's fun to try to guess what's going on, and some times people get it right, I feel DPC puts too much emphasis on red herrings. An example is the whole deal with (what we now know is) Jill's dad at the prep party.
  • Geoff has red hair / Sage has red hair / Jill has black hair.
  • Geoff couldn't get his daughter on the phone / Sage had her phone turned off / Jill answered her phone when the mc called.
  • Geoff expected his daughter to be at the prep party but couldn't find her / Sage was supposed to be at the prep party and told the mc she was avoiding her dad / there was no particular reason for Jill to be at the prep party.
  • Geoff was insufferable at the party, people were trying to avoid him / Sage indicated her dad was insufferable / Jill never said shit about her dad at that point.
Geoff is Jill's dad.

Fuck that shit. :rolleyes:

He also likes secret names, at least where MC is concerned. Rusty is a B, Jill is an R, Sage is a (M)-B, etc.

actually, it's not like anything much happened

no one knows about the restaurant (customers aside), Maya talked about this ‘free tuition’, but has no real proof, even Sage didn't believe her.

Burke reacts quite excessively, when among other things it would have been enough for him to fix Maya's scholarship to prevent her from continuing her interest in the free tuition.

Mona represents a far greater danger and yet apparently worries no one

felicemastronzo said:
Mona ‘freeing’ is the worst possible situation, at least apparently Quinn wanted to keep her under control at BR anyway, we don't know if Mona was then forced by Quinn or Burke to leave or if he did it on her own initiative, but ‘on stage’ Quinn didn't kick her out, while Burke cancelled her scholarship
Click to expand...
As far as anyone is concerned, Mona is completely off the grid. She isn't a local, has cut all contact with everyone, and was scared enough to leave in the middle of the night. I don't think Burke is worried about her at all. There's nothing further he can do anyway, short of killing her :eek:
