I don't know, having interactions with an NPC with Sage's (or whoever's) face seems like a pointless waste of time. Even sex scenes like that would be pointless imo (if someone were to act and fully detail and explain a sex scene in a live role game :ROFLMAO: ).
Not if it's a wet dream bro. Someone (preferably close to you) has to fully act out the deed.

The DnG game seems like a pointless waste of time, yet here we are. DPC might as well lean into it and add things like this if they're going to devote time and resources to something which is taking up valuable space from more important matters.

Unless its purpose is to be an easter egg that points out how Affinity/Status works with one standing in for Lawful/Chaotic and the other Good/Evil.

That one is, deliberately so, although I did try to give it an authentic feel.
And yours may be the most accurate of all the theories. At this point, Occam's Razor be damned, all of them are just WAG's (wild ass guesses).

Who knows with DPC. All the D&G stuff may become important later on. Not saying it will be but we don't really know where DPC is going with all this and what his end game is.

If fans responses are good, next year he will come out with BaDIK Side Story: D&G.

He mentioned a new "GUI"? Maybe this is it?

I usually don't like this kind of things in stories, it screams filler, specially when you want the story to go forward and updates take several months. But for now I give him the benefit of the doubt. We don't know where he's going with this and maybe it will make sense. If not just after the episode 6 drops, maybe eventually.

My feelings on most dream sequences. Its a way to put sex into the game so no one complains about blue balling before the groundwork gets established.

Wow, some of you really reached the state of arrogance of now openly saying what is a waste of time and what should be focused , essentially you know better how the game should be developed than the actual creator. Well go had, do your own game, im very curious about it :).

if you get upset about my comment, you one of those arrogant :p

Or its purpose is to test the waters for the game after BaDIK that will be set in something like this. Beyond that, I can't see how this DnG stuff is going to help the MC with his relationships, with the DIKs, with Quinn, or anything else that is actually important in this game.

Or its purpose it's as simple as the MC and other characters are simply having a little fun.

If we assume that the Tri-Betas are the ones responsible for setting the Diks and Alphas against each other then the MC's behaviour in the game could be very important. Right now he's the only one on either group who seemingly has a good relationship with them (maybe Derek, Bert is nerd but is he a Tri-Beta?) which may put spare him from whatever their next plan is.

On top of that, showing favour to one of the LIs over the others is bound to have an effect.

mmmm Finally that Jade beach time, hnnnggggg!
Ya Jade is rockin'...wow.

I wonder if we choose to not take it further with Jade the first time in a given playthrough if we'll be able to choose an option with her at a later point in the game. I always choose to not pursue her in Episode 4 just because there's something about the situation that just doesn't feel right to me, not sure what it is, but I like Jade, and would like to pursue her, just maybe in different circumstances.

Yeah it is but DPC has already committed to another D&G session. Does he not involve certain characters at all and depending on how much of this episode it takes up potentially limiting their screen time. Does he involve them in an out of character manner and just have them play the game with MC despite it not being a thing they’d do or does he put their face on a princess and at least get a sex scene outta it or some comedy of showing Sage as the damsel in distress.

This isn’t a theory I support just an idea. It can be both a real D&G session and not have all these characters actually partake in the game. It could be like that episode of scrubs where Dr Cox tells his son a story and uses all the hospital staff as characters. Pointless for character development but potentially amusing.

DnG has the same potential in BaDIK as AL in AL. DPC can play around with renders in a different environment, create some pop cultural references and show us the characters in a different light.
That it won't help us to fix the mansion of DIK, break the drug scene at B&R or study faster?
This does not mean that it cannot lead to a shift within the arcs of the characters involved, or to the creation of a new story pillar.
I believe that DPC enjoys it and relaxes a bit from the stereotype, and I'm really looking forward to these scenes.

I agree the story is important and the drama gives us ups and downs. However everyone needs a hobby. Makes the game deeper and more interesting to throw in moments that don't have anything to do with either of the above. Just my opinion....

you are right. however it must always be an opportunity to develop relationships between the characters, and with the fact that Maya and Josy in one case would be there as friends and in another as "girlfriends" in my opinion makes it difficult to plan such an event so that is still significant
