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

[The Dick]

People hate Tommy—most of the time, with reasons—, but I think he offers an interesting counterpoint to the game. If it weren't for him, the DIKs would be a groups of harmless good boys. I think even the Betas would be a scarier bunch. It's sad DPC can't create nothing inbetween. I think Tommy would be more interesting as an anti-hero. I don't think it's too late, and I hope he'll have some redemption arc while keeping his essence (that is, doesn't become a doormat). We already have one Vinny.

Tommy is so stupid on so many levels. At this point, I think he is beyond saving in my opinion. He doesn't have enough positive traits to make me think otherwise. Josy was right - Tommy only cares about drugs and parties... you can't take someone like him seriously.

EP.11 is Tommy's last chance to redeem himself as a character... we'll see how he deals with the end of his relationship with Heather and the fact that Vinny kidnapped Riona (Tommy was the one who brought Vinny back, after all).

Quinn pissed off tommy.
tommy buy drug from vinny.
it has nothing to do with Rio.
the asshole kidnap her, because Quinn pissed off vinny by stealing the pink rose customers.

Lily is definitely main girl material. Quinn was another one who deserved to be a main girl,

" You not a Main Girl, and you never be, you just a plot device with vagina. And You never Be more. "

Vinny became suspicious after his conversation with Lily and Tania (off-screen) at the Halloween party. Tommy is indirectly to blame for this since he opened an opportunity for Vinny to show up, no?

Every fraternity also has a member who stands out for his strength, intelligence or leadership skills to the point of overshadowing the leader.

DIK - MC
HOT - Lily
AAA - Caleb

Lily also stands out for her cuteness

roid-rage and how he trated Sage aside, i don't think Chad is a really bad guy. he's just so hard in his closet to know what clique to follow, or have i also completely misunderstood him as a character? (Like i did Lily xD)

 

[Darkwen the Josy lover]

Josy was right

You are so right
I agree on Tommy he's stupid and only cares about drugs, pussy and parties

 

[Chillout1984]

What killed the science minigame for me was the time limit. There's too little time to read and get the right ingredients. You

I usually have about 120-180 on the counter left with the science while still getting 100%. The trick is doing it step by step, not trying to memorize the entire procedure.

I agree on Tommy he's stupid and only cares about drugs, pussy and parties

so he basically represent 90% of the actual college kids.
Why do people hate him, because he reminded them to themself

If that's the case in the US, I was born in the wrong country Over here it's still study study study with a bit of partying and sex.

Or because he a selfish asshole that makes even Derek look mature

Yeah... As I said, people have their reasons to hate him... And I agree, with the Riona's situation, he'll have to decide where he stands. Ep. 11 is his last chance. And, I wouldn't say stupid as in lacking intelligence, but I agree he's immature, spoiled, and inconsequential. However, none of the characters in this story are known for their stoicalness... Moreover, what I'm really afraid is the game ends up as being a Manichaean moralist fable, where all the "DIK" characters die in a fire, while Heaven awaits for the "chick" ones. Like, the final message: "Being a DIK is evil! Be a chick and you shall inherit the Earth and the Kingdom of Heaven."

You do realize that Josy is the ungratful little shitty sister right ? She stole daddy's booze, and blame on him, she probably caused lots of shit for him, for no reason, becasue she is a spoiled little brat daddy girl , with mommy issue.
who lies to daddy, that she stay the night with a friend house, but she is out there, on the dance floor whoring herself out.
And yet Tommy still look out for her enough , to not be tossed around like a cheap slut, like the rest of the Hots.

Yeah, if only he treated his GF that way as well.

 

[zeroidk]

Lily is definitely main girl material. It's a shame she's only a side girl. Quinn was another one who deserved to be a main girl, but it's obvious she was created to be an antagonist.

But Lily... should have been a main girl without a doubt.

I finally played her route and the whole 'rolling with a stripper pseudo-girlfriend baby quinn' makes her seem what she is, a side piece that will never actually work out. I got the impression that was quinns original path too but she ended up becoming a bit more substantial due to fan reception. maybe that worked out better for DPC otherwise quinn and lily would have been way too similar

Don't forget, because of her we get Maya and her stupid loan.

I don't think Tommy doesn't have his part on the situation, but I think the biggest culprit is Quinn. Vinny's main reason for being pissed off and for his comeback is because Quinn has been stealing his clients. Like, I don't think she did anything wrong but, since it's a shady/criminal business, it ought to have consequences—as it did. I think she downplayed Vininy's perilousness. Tommy, on the other hand, is guilty of attracting Vinny's attention to the DIKs once more, but, if it weren't for Quinn, I don't think he would show up again and, even less, kidnap Riona.

What I do wonder, is Sage in the beginning of the game just bad at reading Quinn? She asks if MC likes Q, because it looks to Sage that Q likes MC, no matter how you reacted to Q.
At no point during that time I got the feeling that Q liked MC, except maybe as a plaything to make fun off.

Was I misreading the situation, or was there already a hint that Q might become a more serious SG?
