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

But by the same token Stephen gets what he wants (sexy students), and Jade doesn't. So I'm not sure why you chalk this up as a win for Jade.

I agree Stephen is more interested in placating Jade than she she is in placating him, but I think that says more about their individual desires than it does about the power dynamics.

I mean RHG does have a list of people he wants to chat with, and tries to get himself invited to a private retreat with two (presumably) rich businessmen. That is in line with what I would expect someone looking to ingratiate himself with powerful people to do. It's certainly more "looking for business" or "kissing ass" than we see Stephen do.

Unless... that's it! Mona is very ticklish and Stephen's beard was just too much for her! It's all starting to fit together now!!

Yeah he pays for them or he pays/erases their college debts in exchange for sex. How does that make it "he gets what he wants"?

Plain and simple that gives Jade the power because Stephen is afraid of what happens if they get a divorce.

I know when I go back to High School Reunions there is a list of people I want to talk to, why would an annual alumni party be any different? He's rich too. Y'all are assuming he's new money based off 0% evidence. All we know is that the college kids consider him eccentric. We don't see either of them do any ass kissing or looking for business. The RHG is in what 2 brief scenes and Stephen is in 2 brief scenes, neither one of those two scenes show any ass kissing or looking for business and yet RHG is Sage's Dad because what? OH THATS RIGHT. They both got red hair.

And AL has Leah, Ana, and the 2 college girls in the banner but only 3 of them are pursuable as LIs and Ana is the default if the MC fucks her and the other LIs leave the MC. So Quinn could very well be that default character if the MC doesn't get with any of the main LIs but does do something(s) with her.

The only time you really get to interact with Quinn actively are the steal lingerie event, buying from her restaurant, the Sage path where you barged into her room, and the rooftop event. Other non-direct involvements include ratting her out to Maya, telling Sage how you feel about Quinn. I wonder if all these will be taken into account?

I still think he's gay. Otherwise how could he be so emotionally and physically dead to Sage? I find it extremely unlikely that he's attracted to women if he doesn't react at all with Sage in front of him basically begging for intimacy. Just cause they talk about panties doesn't mean we can't be talking about a guy, like I said a while ago, men can wear lacy "women's" underwear.

The way he treats Sage, the theory that he is gay gains a lot of strength. Melanie's theory is weak because she is in the gym when Chad has the call, but it does not imply anything because she was also able to go to the women's locker room when she was not on stage. Or it could be that Melanie wants to dethrone Sage from the presidency and telling Chad about the MC's love affair with Sage he can help her take over the presidency or help Quinn. It could also be that he has something against her and that explains the way he behaves towards her. Maybe there was some deception on Sage's part before the MC, but I don't believe it because of what she says in episode 3 "if he can do it because I can't" or something similar.

I don't think Jill is much like Jade. I'm also not sure Tybalt is much like Stephen. It may be another way to emphasize Tybalt's "spoiled child" nature, but the notorious watermelon is significantly tamer than Quinn's services.

Tybalt would be a terrible husband for Jill, though, that's clear.

Definitely. And to change the current Tybalt to the current Stephen, 10-20 years into the future is more than enough, especially if Tybalt has enough taste of the power of money. He might end up buying his doctorate and girls just like Stephen. 10-20 years is also enough to "corrupt" Jill into Jade if that future is really explored.

I would really hope so. This game definitely needs more Quinn, especially as a real (endgame?) option for the MC.

Don't forget the optional threesome with her and Riona in ep 3.

I reckon that, if she is a secret LI in the event the MC doesn't end up with any of the main ones, it could be tied to her major choices. So far we've had 2 of the major choices that affect affinity that are tied to Quinn, take her number and smoke weed, and it's possible we could get more if we get a choice to help get her out of some trouble as this could also be a major choice that affects affinity.

So maybe the trigger would be that if you did the 3 or possibly more major choices tied to Quinn, then she'll get an ending with the MC but only if you don't get endings with any of the main LIs.

It could also be a totally beneficial reason Melanie/Sarah are talking about telling Chad, highly unlikely but feasible. Maybe Melanie has seen how Chad screws with Sage and is trying to help Sage find closure now that Sage has found the MC. I doubt it but it's feasible. Melanie doesn't say anything specifically about wanting Chad only about getting them to break up and needing Sarah to back her if it goes sideways. They talked about how Sage "wasn't going to like it" but sometimes you have to hurt someone to help them. I don't necessarily believe that's what this is but it is feasible. Mostly playing devils advocate and looking for other options. We tend to pick the worst possible ending to all our theories rather than the middle ground.

I'm honestly surprised how high quality this game is. Better than Fallout 76 no doubt.

LMAO half the games on this site that I think suck balls are better than fallout 76

Sorry for the off topic Mods

Her father is likely the guy who goes around trying to talk himself into other people's conversations, she did mention he is a bootlicker.

It's the redhead with a topknot, I think. He did mention not being able to find his daughter who was supposed to be there.

- What TF was up with Sarah in the end? Blackmail attempt in the making?

Could be an intervention to finally break up the relationship that everyone can see is no longer healthy.

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

I'm certain that red haired guy was Sage's father, that line he said about looking for his daughter in this crowed sealed the deal for me. I don't think it was a red herring but DPC saying look this is Sage's dad.

 

[obibobi]

So is the new jock guy just Chad in disguise? I haven't compared them side by side

Heck no he makes Chad look little

To me them doing it for Sage’s benefit seems out of character but it’s as solid a theory as any other. Ive given up on theorising this whole “who’s he cheating with” thing. To me the one that made the most sense was he’s with Melanie... to the point I’m even considering it could be a plot hole that Sage saw him on the phone prior to the MC going to the gym and seeing Melanie off the phone. Could be an oversight and Melanie/Sarah are just background characters. When did DPC make the render of Melanie and Sarah working out at the gym used in the games intro? Maybe DPC just chose Melanie and Sarah as background characters because he already had gym clothes and they were posed running in the treadmills. Its unlikely he’s reusing shit I know... like I said, don’t have a theory on this just raising an idea.

Regardless, the calls don’t line up and I doubt DPC would be so sloppy as to introduce such a glaring plot hole just to save himself time rendering stuff. Which is a shame because I like the theory it’s her, a lot falls into place motivation wise.

That or she knows who Chad is dating. Either way she wants to do it now because Sage is occupied with the Protagonist, being less likely she will stick a axe in someone's head.

I'm about in the same place. I keep letting myself get sucked into theorizing when I keep falling back on the same reality. To many questions not enough information.

If there are endings with side girls like Quinn, I would like endings with Riona and Camila, too. And some other players would probably go for Cathy and Jade.

 

[Cndyrvr4lf]

Regardless of who ends up right or wrong, I'm looking forward to Ep6 so I can hear all the people who got something right go "I TOLD YOU SO!!" I know I'm a twisted individual

Looks at michael1984 who has been awfully quiet.

Hopefully DPC expands on Riona's backstory after starting it in Ep 4 during the free roam in Sage's path. would love to "save" Riona and get her as a side-bitch or even backup LI.
