Regarding paths for side girls, it is entirely possible they could have them.

If we think back to AL, there was an ending where the MC would get back together with his ex, Ana. In order to get this ending, he basically had to revenge fuck her and then be nice to her later at Megan's audition. Because he fucked her, he'd get dumped by whatever girl ends up tied up by Leah and he would go back to his ex, and this happens even though Ana is not a main LI.

In this game, we have a lot of side girls but only 5 are specifically highlighted in the official walkthrough; Camila, Cathy, Jade, Quinn, and Riona. All 5 of these SGs have significantly more interaction with the MC than any other girls and have decisions tied to variables that influence scenes later on, i.e. in order to have sex with Riona in ep 5 you have to have bought her services from Quinn, talked to her about the Cluck at the party, and kissed her at the party.

If in the eventuality that the MC ends up with none of the main LIs, then these variables for the SGs may kick in and create endings where the MC is in some kind of relationship with them, just like what happened with Ana in AL. It will also likely be possible to cut off SGs as well and we've already seen that with the fact that Cathy is cut off on the M&J path, as well as with the aformentioned event with Riona who is seemingly cut off for not doing any of those 3 things.

This is how a character like Quinn could have a path as decisions such as taking her number, smoking weed with her, and other future decisions could decide if the MC ends up with her in a scenario where he doesn't end up with any of the main LIs and has possibly also cut off other SGs.

This is all conjecture but whatever that photo is Chad’s first thought was to blame the MC. We can’t say for sure that the response it got was the one the sender intended but if the response Chad gave is what the sender wanted it tracks as being yet another move to make someone angry with the DIKs and/or the MC.
I think he first thought of MC because he knew MC was spying on him in the locker room and maybe thinks that MC is gunning for him.

And while we are still on this point, i want to highlight that some actions where mentioned in the 'end of episode summary' and some of them were for side girls. Like, if you stayed with Sage in ep3 you could say that you were interested in Quinn, this got mentioned in Sage's resume in summary.

And while it is linked to Sage, it could be the possibility of a chance to 'romance' Quinn later.

The Quinn character is one main character due to her dark business and what it does to the other persons around her. So i don't think that we can put Mona, Heather, Sarah, Melanie or some of the other girls at her character developing level. Some of them are just side kicks....or side quicks if you know what i mean! :D So, while the game progresses we can have some new paths appearing. Who knows?
Not sure why my previous reply to this was deleted. But as I said DPC is more focused on the 5 main girls he's had these branching paths and I think it would be too much for him to add another path in. I'm not saying an ending is out of the question but we just don't know what that will involve. But I'd have loved to have seen a Quinn route as I know someone that would have been very happy with that but again DPC focus is on those main Li's.

Uh it's college? Whores for life? Don't know about you but none of my college antics followed me out of college, hell most of them didn't even make it into the next year.
Having sex for money with professors and students is part of college? If that kind of thing is made public it's for life. Your parents and close relatives and friends will know and not forget for sure, it's not the kind of reputation that's forgotten afterwards. The closest thing is being a pornstar in terms of public scandal, and you know what happens for college girls in those cases right? There are tons of them.

hey for those who playing in Bella route,i thought of a theory,sorry if i speak something wrong because is not my playthrough (i'm in sage route),it's possible the husband died in war and she lives in post-traumatic stress and does not accept that her husband died in the war and thinks that he is still alive and will return someday. (I thought about it because the MC when he is drunk at her house sees that hallucination of the military guy.)

That's a good point, although I wonder if a thing like that would have much of an impact on a Quinn ending given that we can completely skip over it if the MC stays with Derek or Bella. Same with the Quinn/Riona threesome which doesn't have any impact on the Riona scene in ep 5, so it appears that it might not have much of an influence on events either.

Other events with SGs have been avoidable too, but then some events seem to carry more weight than others in terms of their True/False variables counting for later events and I guess we'll only truly know if they matter at the end or with each new episode, like how we found out what was important to get the scenes with Riona and Camila in ep 5.

At the end of the day, whilst it may be too early to know for sure, I think it would be rather short-sighted of anyone to suggest that Quinn or any other SG is definitively not getting an ending with the MC. We know from past experience that not getting any main LIs and making certain choices can lead to an ending with a non-LI, and I see no reason why that couldn't also happen here.

hey man, i return to acess this threads yesterday and a miss the the theories and debates here
,this photo and the other with mona is the only pick's to the next ep ?
The Mona/Quinn photo is the first ep 6 preview, yes. Prevailing theory, which is most obvious, is that this is Quinn trying to gently persuade to Mona to come back into the fold and not leave the HOTs. A bit of debate over whether they're in Mona's dorm room or some sort of common area on campus, but for the most part it's fairly easy to see what's going on here so there wasn't an awful lot of debate.

Think that’s backwards. Sage doesn’t know nor would she approve of the pimping. Hence Quinn shushing them all. Sage is implied to be filthy rich so I doubt she’s got tuition money problems.
Sage likely knows about drugs and accepts as heather talks openly about it to Quinn.
You guys need to pay better attention, Tommy literally tells Quinn that Sage wouldn't be okay with them using drugs in their house which is why they do it at the DIK mansion. Sage also doesn't know about 'the restaurant' evident by Quinn sushing the girls as soon as Sage barged in.

Her not accepting drugs use in the mansion doesn’t mean she doesn’t know about Quinn being involved in it and tolerate it.

Strange!There is no suck file in this folder.
Follow these instructions to delete the hidden persistent file:
  • Go to the Control Panel and open File Explorer Options
  • Click on the View tab and under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files, folders and drives", then click Apply
  • Now go to your main user area (C: > Users > "Name")
  • Open the folder AppData > Roaming > RenPy and find the Being a DIK folder
  • Deleting that will remove the persistent file that contains all the data and you can start the game from scratch but also ensure you delete the persistent file from the main game saves folder too.
