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

[Holy Bacchus]

Again, it is not a morality system. If you hang out with Jill, it will always be associated with Chick points. Sage will always be associated with DIK points. It has nothing to do with right or wrong, just how the characters are established.

But therein lies the problem. If it's not a system to define the personality of the character, then what is it for? Because right now it just seems like an arbitrary system to lock people out of certain content that they really shouldn't be when you consider the actions of the MC towards certain characters, in order to force replayability. The affinity seems to serve no greater purpose than this and hamstrings players from getting content they rightly should get because how the MC has interacted with certain characters should what determines the scenes and actions you get with them.

If you're not a CHICK, in spite of how you've interacted with the girls, Maya just doesn't feel right about you. If you follow Maya after Josy sees her dad, and you're on the M&J path, Maya says she feels really comfortable with you because you seem like a girl. That comfort zone is the deal maker for her. If you're not a CHICK she doesn't get that vibe and it's the difference between her accepting you in the library or rejecting you. She's going with her gut feeling based on the vibe you give off. She feels she's making a big decision and risk, so she weighs everything up. Makes perfect sense to me. Doesn't seem like a flaw in the game.

But if she doesn't get a good a vibe from him because he's DIK affinity, then why would she allow things to go this far? The MC can be DIK affinity by Ep 2 and in that episode he can go back to Maya after the shot battle and finger her, and in the next episode they can almost have sex, yet all of a sudden she doesn't have a good feeling about him by the end of Ep 4? It really doesn't make sense when you consider what she and the MC have done up until that point. It's only purpose seems to be to force replayability and it doesn't marry up to the sum total of his actions with Maya prior to this.

Our choices are not mattering as much as they should because they are being overridden by this affinity system which seems to only have the purpose of locking content in order to force replayability despite the fact that this game is plenty replayable by vitue of its 5 main LIs and the different paths you can take with them. It doesn't need to have further content locked by an affinity system that has many inconsistencies in how it decides what content you can and can't see.

Wait, now that I think about it, if Nora was Maya's mother, that means we are like Finch from American Pie and we have fucked the mother of one of our friends xD

Nora looks extremely similar to Maya, i always thought she was either her mother or her sister but i think DPC just reuses models too much, just look at Lynette she looks extremely similar to Bella lol.

 

[Malicre]

Where did this Nora theory come from lol. She's in her early 30s, there is no way she's Maya's mother.

How do you know that? People lie on online dating apps all the damn time lol.

I understand its suck to choose between Jill and Sage, believe me I do. but this seems to me, that some of you desperately try to turn this decision in to something that it is not. this is not a Chick/Dik, decision, it has nothing to do to morality, and affinity system, or being a good guy or a bad guy.
You simply pursuit 2 girl at the same time and now you have to choose one, and it does not matter if you are chick or dik or a transgender Deer, You can't have it both
You want to Fuck Josy, or you want to Fuck Maya. You lunch with J/M or with Sage/Q. you wanna Fuck Liara, or Ashley, and its not matter if you are paragon or renegade.

the only things matter is your feeling. if you feel that you are a person who wanna help sage, that is your morality system, speaking, it's your decision.
If you feel, that you are deeply in to Jill, that is also your decision. and not the game morality system fault
Way better than how the Josy/Maya situation was during ep4.
and yes regardless, you gonna hurt somebody, or let her down, because you put yourself in this position in the first place. and its natural for Jill, to feel let down, no matter how nice she is. and same goes for Sage , becasue they have feelings, and its not wrong if they wants something for themself.

You don't see a choice of abandoning a friend in need, who you have already promised caring for, to go have fun and eat overpriced ice-cream, as a one related to morality? Jill had made very clear the type of dude she 'd be interested in and it's definitely not the dude who would do that. There is a thing in writing called characterization. Which means an established character needs to act in accordance to said characterization. Not the case here.

Lemme put it this way. If the choice was between seeing her, or going out with your DIK daddy to have steamy 3some with horny strippers (hottest scene in the game btw), the point loss would have made perfect sense. The way it is now, it makes absolutely none.

 

[Pewdiepie9966]

It's quite obvious that Mona was supposed to have sex with him in the prep mansion.
He's involved.
And an ass.

Oh yeah now I remember that scene Thanks for pointing that out it makes more sense now ^^

There is no point loss for CHICK or DIK. It is only a point loss for the character you choose not to go with. It seems that you are angry because your conscious insists that tending to Sage is the "right" choice and therefore must be the "Chick" choice. This is self-inflection. As DIK/Chick have absolutely nothing to do with right and wrong. The title of the game is called being a DIK. I guess therefore the only right way to play is by making Chick decisions then.

Losing 2RP with Jill may be a bit harsh because, from what what we know of her as a character, she'd surely be understanding and enamoured of his compassion in going to see a sick friend, but she's still going to be disappointed that he's turning down her date, so she could at least lose 1RP for that reason.

 

[Gladheim]

If you with Jill you can't get the Nicole/Sandy scene nor the Nora scene.


The walkthrough has all the ones from previous chapters, and I don't recall a gender studies test in episode 6, you run off with Sarah.

The weirdest thing is , you actually can fuck Nora XD

Idk... i saw it here yesterday

I mean, she could have had twins when she was 13. I'm sure that's just a common thing and there's no way Derek or Maya would have had mentioned that, right?

The title of the game is a double meaning and refers to both him being part of the DIK fraternity and the choices that can be made in the game. Also, the RP for Jill may still come into play later, whether it's for a lewd scene or perhaps even to soften the blow if he doesn't choose her, therefore to have so much RP on the line for this choice that really is quite a cruel one, may be a bit much.

Unless you know, she lied about her age.

Does the MC tell Jill he’s going to look after a sick Sage if you choose her? Specifically.

I can’t recall fully (nor check right now) but I’m pretty sure he doesnt elaborately explain why he’s not able to go on the date. If so you’re not taking the RP hit for being a good guy you’re taking it for not telling her why you’re doing what you’re doing.

People criticise the affinity system for the girls being psychic. In this one situation she seems to be reacting to what she perceives rather than what you intended. From her perspective you’re just blowing her off for someone else.

Thats assuming I’m remembering correctly, if he makes it clear to her Sage is sick and he already promised to help her it is a weird one.

If Nora is in his 40s could easy had them with 20yo.

Disregard the game mechanic completely. From everything we know about Jill already, does she seem like the type of chick who would loose affection towards someone, because they went to help a sick friend? Her first scene in the game is her helping unknown MC up after he got beat up ffs. She has been characterized as the "mother teresa" of the cast, always trying to be helpful so it's baffling to me how people can't see the inconsistency.

It's not like the story didn't have points to put dillemas like that. It could have been one of the various instances where MC is just looking to get his dick wet. Her getting second thoughts about MC would be perfectly fine in any of those instances.

My playthrough is full DIK btw and that was one of the very few choices I made that didn't fit the douchey fuckboi MC I'm playing.

That would be one of the most stupid plot decisions I will ever see in my life.

Jill would have been disappointed by the MC turning her down, but a 2 point loss doesn't add up to much in the grand scheme, if it seems like a lot at that point in the game (i.e. your Jill score is already low), then perhaps that relationship wasn't meant to be. If your score is in the 20s or more, no big deal.

No, he doesn't. Just the same as when you call Sage to check on her, it does not give you an option as to whether you'd like to go over there or not, he just agrees when she asks.

How so? Nora literally showed up around the same time Maya's dad did. Personally i don't believe in coincidences lol.
