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

[lemonfreak]

Guess that makes me an exception because I like both of them and hate neither of them.

I'm the same actually but, whereas I can entirely empathise with Maya's situation and don't consider that any of her supposed transgressions need forgiveness, with a real life Quinn I would always need to keep the walls up.

 

[Holy Bacchus]

I don't love who she is, but I totally love her. Again, what is wrong with you? That says, I love what she looks like but I don't love who she is. What is wrong with you that you care more about her looks than who she is as a person.

Her looks get a lot of attention, but who she is as a person is interesting and is an equally large part of her appeal.

But she loves it because she knows it would hurt the mc. She's a cunt going out of her way to hurt people and she is weirdly beloved by so many.

She is "beloved" because I think most people want to see the good in someone; to believe that they are not what they appear at first sight and that there is a decent person underneath all the bravado, the attitude, and the misguided actions.

 

[Jimayo]

This goes the other way as well, for all the dumping and turd flinging Maya receives on the regular there are still things to like about her even though she might not even be that high up on people's lists.

Sage is another example, arguably the best all-round LI atm but if it was real life then you'd be an idiot not to see her actions as a red flag. Staying in a sexless (and one-sided?) relationship with Chad for years, getting rightly jealous and furious over him cheating but never ever once actually leaving his ass, then turning around and rationalizing banging another dude coz "it's just sex" all the while telling him (and herself) that "I'm taken - by Chad"

It's awesome bcoz MC is the one plowing her now, but if a girl could do that with you then she can definitely do that to you. The fact she's not getting sex from Chad changes nothing here - she still chooses to stay with him and fuck behind his back instead of ending things and moving on properly. Now this is a game ofc, and the working assumption is that it's a doomed relationship anyway (or at least seems that way right now) and MC can steal and secure Sage's love if he does things right. However she makes the choice to bang behind "her man's back", and make no mistake - she does call Chad her man despite her actions, and that's the choice that truly should alarm anyone with any sense.

Gotta disagree with you there. Her problem is literally a psychological issure. It stems to her father who's always treated her like she doesn't matter. Because of that, that's what she's come to expect from relationships which is why it's so hard for her to get with the mc(because she doesn't know how to react to someone who does treat her like she matters.).

 

[Josh Spicer]

People who love Quinn have something wrong with them. This a literally a woman who is goading you with how she plans to make one of your LI's into a prostitute.

*shrug* In my Full DIK route it's the one I wanna be with.

I'd be curious to see the ven diagram of people who love Quinn and hate Maya.I suspect it would be a circle

That's a big assumption. I don't hate either of them.

You're absolutely right of course, Quinn is nothing but bad news and everyone would be much better off with a restraining order against her But alas, the folks you see here before you are weak, ugh not an ounce of willpower or self control What an utterly shamefur dispray

*shrug* I won't deny it.

Also, it's a game guys. A game that allows us to be unrepentant assholes and fuck almost every girl on a school campus who is mildly to very attractive.

It's kinda weird to pick and choose where it's okay to like a girl and where a line is drawn.

Just because we love/like her - doesn't necessarily mean we approve of her actions.

Yooo man, congrats on the new avatar

 

[Hugh G. Rection]

Yeah I know. Strategically speaking, that's such a bad move. Maya would be a terrible addition for the restaurant. Nearly zero experience with men, can't take the magic Baseball bat. I can already picture the bad reviews from customers. Quinn would destroy her business reputation for sure.

There's another angle here. A chef is always after the next great dish to diversify their menu and attract even more patronage, and what better way to do that than to include an "shy, innocent and inexperienced little maiden" among the ranks of her less sexually inhibited sisters?

Quinn is almost certainly pushing and testing Maya's malleability with her particularly sex-oriented Scavenger Hunt tasks, and while fully corrupting Maya into another run of the mill cockwhore might feel like a twisted victory, she already has slutty girls on offer and a smarter move would be to acquire a girl who is the polar-opposite in terms of vibe and appeal - think of the defloration fantasies she would be more fitting to enact for customers who are into that kind of stuff.

And is a bully, a pimp...a drug-dealer and a junkie. But she ain't a bad person

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.

Now this fella knows a Queen when he sees one! I do question the granny choice in the "mature" section though .... more like decrepit but whatever fries your bacon I suppose.

[Holy Bacchus]

No offense bru, cause I usually agree with you, but in that ase, you are really fucked up. I don't know how you can love maya and agree with quinn's actions.

I'm not saying I agree with her actions because I don't, but I do say that bad actions do not necessarily make a person bad. Some people are, at their very core, bad people with no morals at all and others are victims of circumstance who know what they're doing is bad but feel they have no choice, and I feel that certain moments, certain expressions from Quinn, highlight a vulnerability in her that points to her knowing that it's wrong.

This is why I hope we get some good backstory for Quinn in this upcoming episode to understand why she's doing this because I think it's very possible that may fall into that category of being a victim of circumstance.

 

[Borstel]

Did you click the stairs next to Tommy which lead to Rusty? That's an easy one to miss.

You'll know if you've done everything once you see Tommy and Quinn together (in the same location as Tommy was before)

Yeah, i visited rusty as well. Still have quite alot of locked doors that i cannot open, but it appears i have visited every place i could, and talked to everyone. Even the "library" and cinema, but besides the keg, and 1 person, there is nothing there.

 

[Jimayo]

And is a bully, a pimp...a drug-dealer and a junkie. But she ain't a bad person

Right?

 

[Felicityskye]

She is a self centered piece of shit who is going to tear apart her sorority. If you approve of who she is, there is something wrong with you.. And again no offense, but seriously, she is a piece of shit so far.

Finding something or someone interesting doesn't mean you necessarily approve. It just means you find interest in that something or someone.

 

[Jimayo]

Just because we love/like her - doesn't necessarily mean we approve of her actions.

I dpm't approve of her actions(ie. who she is as a person) but I like her. Ie. Iike how she looks and don't care about what she does.

Like I said, there is something wrong with people who like her. Because you are ignoring her vast character flaws, which are fucking huge, because you are physically attracted to her. There is, to date, no redeaming character to her. She is, so far, a complete piece of shit.

 

[Hugh G. Rection]

Because of that, that's what she's come to expect from relationships which is why it's so hard for her to get with the mc(because she doesn't know how to react to someone who does treat her like she matters.).

If we're to offer Sage the benefit of the doubt as you suggest, despite her actions being highly questionable with regards to fidelity in a relationship, then why not do the exact same for Quinn? She might be acting out, doing/dealing drugs and pimping half the HOTs because she wasn't loved enough as a child and prefers to numb herself and always remain in control, fearing any show of vulnerability would shatter her.

All we really have to judge people on are their actions, doesn't really matter whether the person doing this or that to someone else has mental problems or some other. At the end of the day the other party is not responsible for your behavior, only you are.

You seem to be conflating people's physical attraction to her with an absolution of her sins, but that is not the case. Some people see her as just a hot piece of ass for a quick 'wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am', and others see her as a troubled soul in need of rescue, but few, if any, people find her actions to be justified.

 

[S - Boy]

The game is one of the best i've ever played

Who agrees with me that Jill is the best character ?

 

[felicemastronzo]

the only character who can be judged with absolute severity is MC.

for the others the amnesty always applies: "but so did <add name at random>"

Quinn is an interesting character.
much more interesting than some LI.

The fact that she is a negative character doesn't change that, Joker is more interesting than Batman 99 times out of 100

 

[lemonfreak]

You should have talked to the following characters:

Sarah and Mel in the lounge
Derek in the lounge (not 100% sure about this one)
Riona in the corridor past the bar
John Boy in the corridor past the bar
Nick in the library
Jacob upstairs
Heather and Ashley in the room near Jacob
Mona in the room to the right of Heather and Ashley (get her a beer from the fridge)
Tommy in the hallway past Sarah and Mel
Rusty down the stairs near Tommy
Tommy again, this time with with Quinn next to him

Best I can do, I passed that section a long time ago.

 

[Darkdevil66]

If one believes in those concepts. I do also agree only here once, for a very short time, so make the most of it and do what you want to do. However, that has nothing to do with her being a truly despicable piece of scum.

Yes...it's a game...but how anyone (as people have mentioned before)...can even possibly try to knock any of the other girls..yet defend her,...is quite frnakly, laughable and a little disturbing, regardless of whetehr she's a hot piece of ass or not.

And again ! We clearly don't share the same moral compass. To transpose one's moral considerations on porn game's character is pretty dull to me. In the same way as reducing a character to 3 negatives terms.

Like I said previously, people may find villains more interesting and complex, just like some find good guys bland and boring. Villains through their villainy, present to us the harsh realities that exist in the world. They provide us with glimpses of the real world and it’s problems. Some also change our perspectives on things and provide new insight into the way of the world. Villains are just broken heroes’. There's nothing wrong with that. Some people have issue with traits considered as vile and others don't.

Feel free to judge my way of thinking disturbing, repulsive or laughable. I don't mind in the slightest.

To go on a little tangent, has anyone notice a recent surge in the creation in BaDIK "clones"? A.O.A Academy, College Kings, Stay True Stay You off the top of my head. Clone is perhaps an uncharitable term, but they have very similar gameplay elements and settings. There's more than aren't transparently "clones" but clearly inspired by DrPinkCake.

Honestly BaDIK's huge popularity might have legitimately started a new era of erotic game, finally ending (or at least slowly replacing) the era of incest grind fests (thanks for nothing Big Brother). I don't even mind the "clones", many of them are pretty promising in their own right. I feel like BaDIK has substantially raised the bar for quality and signals a slow maturation for the "industry" of erotic games.
