ok, but when i watch a tv show i'm completely passive, then i can have favorite characters, but i can only pray for them ..

in a game it is not like that, regardless of genre, I am "responsible", at least in part, for what happens to the other characters, the ones I like and the ones I dislike.

if I see a danger and I cannot avoid it, it is as if my brakes were cut while I am driving. like in horror movies when we watch a character go towards certain death without knowing it. it is exciting, but as a frustration, not as a participation.

suppose DPC showed us the flashback of Derek, Maya and Josy's vacation before Josy's arrival in BR, we would have yelled "DON'T DO THIS !!!" in front of the PC screen continuously

In these games you are often responsible up to a point, but it's a false sense of responsibility because while you may be able to affect certain aspects of the story, the overall narrative will still follow a particular track with only minor variations along the way. It's like with open-world console games where you can control the character and make them do certain things but the main story will still play out in a particular way.

So whilst you can form attachments to certain characters and want to guide the whole story in a direction that is good for them and the MC, much of their story is fixed and so it is essentially like watching a TV show but with a little more freedom to guide the MC in some aspects.

Previews of EP 6 for now

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
So it's looking like we have 3 renders possibly related to a game of DnG. Still hoping that it isn't, but if it is, then I'm hoping it won't take up a huge portion of the episode.

If we compare these to the ep 5 previews, we never saw anything from the Prep party and so had no idea that this would not only be in the episode but also be such a big part of the episode. So I hope that these previews are similar, that we're only seeing what will amount to a small segment of the episode and still haven't seen anything from the more substantial parts.

Would be an unfortunate trope though, bad girl come good...like that's never been done before.
And the reason it's done so much is to highlight the fact that not everything is a black and white story, and that people who do arguably bad things aren't necessarily bad people.

Sage interacting with Bella? Think thats the first time ive seen that happen - i wonder if its a confrontational scene. Both are bat shit crazy in all honesty as say what you like about Bella, Sage has a personality that is far from flawed too given her jealous streak led to getting the MC to spy on Chad and she was already stalking him to the gym with binoculars. Looking forward to some potential tension between the two most intense love interests in the game.

Now we just need Jill to go to war with Quinn and the wholesome drama love triangles will be complete on all fronts lol
Why would it be confrontational when they don't know about each other's relationships with the MC?

Bella is the college librarian and a teacher so her interacting with Sage doesn't have to be anything more than that between a student and the librarian.

She can risk to lose all of her "business" and that might force her to rethink her choices. That doesn't necessarily mean she'll turn "good" because of it.
In fact, her losing the bad girl attitude might be a deal breaker for many people. So, I don't really see that happening.

I feel Sage can end up being a best friend (with benefits) with the MC.

She has a sort of alpha personality. Either way she will probably graduate earlier than the MC, so keeping our dude as a personal fuckbuddy (dom/submissive) would seem like a better option to her. Plus if he is a DIK and won all of the fights, then he is an asset to her.

Her business is sort of tethering on a high risk factor. If she fucks it up, she might end up in jail. I think the MC's influence would or should play a huge rule in her story. If you make the correct decisions with her interactions, she does show her inner nature of caring for you.

This Isabella outfit is ridiculous. Is she going to the gym instead of working? Talk about pandering...

Also it is just me or her boobs seem bigger now? :LOL: :LOL:
Yeah I agree with your opinion her outfit it seems pretty unprofessional for a librarian to dress like that at work.Unfortunately DPC did a patreon poll for her outfit and they obviously picked the most revealing one.

Maybe it's the MC making her feel sexy again, her expression seems more friendly as well. (I could see a portion of the episode where everything seems to be going too well before something else comes crashing down - probably right at the end to keep us worried).

This pandering seems to be getting out of hand and becoming more glaring as the game advances.
Yeah, I really can't even blame people for voting with their dicks on this one. If DPC wants this game to be taken seriously and not be treated as just another bust-a-nut simulator, out of place and out of character outfits shouldn't be in these polls to begin with. We already have special renders for those urges.

The cosmetic polls DPC does are almost completely pointless for this very reason because it's always a case of "skimpiest outfit wins" and there's no way DPC doesn't know this before conducting the poll so it therefore becomes something of a superfluous exercise because they're essentially leading their Patreons into voting for it.

It sometimes makes me wonder if DPC is actually the one who wants the skimpiest outfit but he makes these polls so that if anybody were to complain about it being too skimpy, he can deny most of the responsibility by basically saying, "hey, I didn't choose it, my patrons did".

This is what it competed against, btw.



Of these, I'd have said the top of #2 and the trousers of #3 would've been the best outfit as it's a bit more appropriate, but there was no way #3 wasn't going to win.
