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

[Mormont]

I post these ideas in the hope that DPC will see them and, realising I'm onto him, change his plans accordingly

It would be nice if he did but I think that ship has long sailed

And then the MC gets a lot of money but, unlike when he said to Jill that money would help with his problems, it doesn't now.

All that money wouldn't matter it wouldn't replace his Dad although I'd like to see the girls reaction to that who would want to comfort him the most?

The helmet scene is what's had me worried I always felt that scene was some sort of foreshadowing of future events that there could be an incident at the counstruction site with the young guy and Neil helps him but ends up getting caught up in the incident not before he has saved the young guy that he warned.

I had similar thoughts.

It seems almost inevitable that SOMETHING will happen to Neil eventually. The MC's dad has been his biggest supporter and among his closest friends prior to his arrival at B&R. Since BaDIK is a coming of age story, at some point the MC must move beyond his old support network and forge his own place in the world. There's no more classic a way to illustrate that than to cut off access to the old support during a crisis.

The MC's phone call to his dad in Episode 4 foreshadows this, IMHO. Faced with the first major crisis of the MC's adult life, Neil only has time to impart a few words of wisdom to him. That was enough and the crisis was resolved (at least on paper), but it sets the stage for the next big crisis when Neil isn't available at all.

Now personally, I love Neil. He's a fun character and it's cool to see well adjusted single dad in this sort of story. So I sincerely hope Neil is just sidelined temporarily (injured and in a coma at a crucial time, the MC is angry with him for a time, or some such thing). But we all know what DPC is capable of, and even in a lighthearted comedy, killing a minor supporting character is fair game compared to killing a romantic lead. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

So, I've got some questions.

What are the girls ages? I know Derek, Josy and Maya are MCs age, but what about Isabella, Jill, Quinn, Sage and etc?

End of the day, you can only be involved with Jill at this point but the game encourages you to be with multiple girls. MC will have to chose a girl and making him choose between all possible combinations is a mammoth task. It would be fairly underwhelming for you to just go “yeah, I’m with you now” and no conflict.

Zoey is a prepackaged LI. All the emotional attachment your MC needs with next day delivery. Dump her into the middle of this and boil it down to all LI compared to her. It will easily fit any combination of LI (even dating just Jill) and then you just need a small modification to account for the other LI.

I’ve zero proof of this I only brought it up because you said you couldn’t see any purpose to her in the story. She could be a generic all purpose rival LI to ease the writing and she’s perfect for it.

I’m less sure you’ll have to choose one. Given the potential to be a massive dik, it would make sense to have option exist not to get into a committed relationship. I don’t think it would be good drama either to drop an ex in to be dropkicked out.

True but it cost me nothing to do it and a million to one chance is still a chance.

Especially as million to one chances crop up nine times out of ten

Well Quinn’s hotter than maya for a start imo.
There’s more time with her after ch3. She’s not one of the 5 main li’s but who knows what pinkcake’s plans are. If I can ditch the others for her I will in a heartbeat.

So, I got some questions.

What are the girls ages? I know Derek, Josy and Maya are MCs age, but what about Isabella, Jill, Quinn, Sage and etc?

Also, I'm at the end of chapter 3, and the only options I had with Quinn were related to prostitution. Will she become a love interest at some point? If so, there's any point in doing the threesome with her and that asian girl instead of half banging Maya?

Great game btw, I usually don't give a fuck about story in games like this.

Well, the MC is about to turn 19, so I'd reckon that Derek, Maya, and Josy are all probably 18 and soon to be 19.
Jill is in her 3rd year making her 2 years older than the MC, so she'd be about 20/21.
Quinn is either 2nd or 3rd year making her 19, 20, or 21.
Sage seems to be in her 4th year which would make her 21/22.
And I believe Bella is around 35.

As for Quinn being a LI, probably not, at least not one you can actively pursue. She's considered a side girl and, unlike the main girls (Bella, Jill, Josy, Maya, and Sage), she doesn't have RP that can be accumulated.

Not doing the threesome with Quinn and Riona has a small impact on a scene in ep 4 that I won't spoil since you're not there yet, but beyond that we don't know if it has any larger consequence.

That was everything I wanted to know, thanks!

Before anybody says this is too far-fetched

I thought Jill was in her final year as well ??? I'm too lazy to check so I'll assume you're correct. I could also see her being older because she's of the social class that would be able to have a gap year (I admit the game offers no evidence for this).

We do know Aerith is 24 so clearly she either started college late due to taking a gap year or she has been forced to repeat a year, something that would let her and Dawe connect.

BTW I don't know if someone mentioned it here, but I found, that you can change MC's name, his avatar photo and Rooster nickname during game. Just click in Bios on those 3 dots and it opened new window.

Well, I did not know that.

There is a level of detail in this game that is quite unbelievable at times.

 

[ThatGuyWho]

Actually a bit of drama here and there comes in handy for the story, but I hope it won’t be anything extreme.

The college/growing up drama is enough.

All that money wouldn't matter it wouldn't replace his Dad although I'd like to see the girls reaction to that who would want to comfort him the most?

Exactly. What's the money good for now?

As for Arieth, I'd be more inclined to think she got held back a lot in school and that's why she started later.

 

[Mormont]

but what about Isabella, Jill, Quinn, Sage and etc?

I'm pretty sure I've heard that Quinn is 20 can't recall from where though DPC confirmed Bella being 35 I think that was asked in one of the Q&A's he had a while back

Exactly. What's the money good for now?

He could cheer himself up at the Pink rose.

I stand corrected.

To be fair, I'm British and our university courses generally last 3 years.

I agree with you that Aerith (how is that spelt anyway, I go back and forth between the BaD and FF7 version so often that I'm lost) was held back, probably more than once because she's clearly an idiot (try telling her, via rooster, that she has crabs )

Yeah, that's pretty cool, first thing I did when found out is changed nick since Tremolo sounds too close to Gigolo (I know about musical term etc, pretty much musician myself).

Why you're assuming that all of them are in college straight after high school? Is it that common in Canada (it's Canadian setting, right?) It's very common where I live but afaik far from that in central Europe for instance.

Check this out, guys, haven't paid attention to this before:

Apparantely night talk was suppose to do something with MC after all but... it doesn't make any sense to me. Although she might referring to revealing a *secret*.

Yeah, it's a cool feature I never knew about it until after ep3 you'd get people asking how to change the MC name and someone pointed out that you could do it via the phone.

I think she’s talking about how Bella spilled the beans about Jill being a Royce.

Had they discussed the date Bella might have known Jill was hiding her being a Royce. Because they didn’t talk she just blurted it out and Jill got a little snippy with the remarks about Bella keeping secrets if MC is living there. I think that’s the altercation (MC specifically asks they don’t fight) she’s talking about that would have been avoided had they spoken about the date.

that’s my take on it anyways.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

I stand corrected.

That's true everywhere but Scotland where degree courses last 4 years. In America, they generally last 4 years and some even last 6. American college courses also study a wider range of subjects as opposed to UK universities where it's more specialised in one particular field.

That also my take too since they got into a bit of an argument over Bella blurting out that she's a Royce.
