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

[TrainHardnett]

Get the idea out of your head, here there are two types of games (there are more but those are the two big groups): porn games and games or novels for adults, which have sex but it is not the important thing, since it could be perfectly a series show or an RPG or Life is Strange type, telltale games etc without problem.
That is, I can play and finish Being a DIK or Acting Lessons (among other games that I have played) without having to put my hand in my pants and that does not make it less satisfactory for me, on the contrary it gives the added value that it is a very fun game.

The thing is this game is not anywhere near as close to the writing of those games as you think it is. If you removed the sex it would be pretty mediocre to bad in terms of story writing. Btw are you a slav by any chance?

Due to his position as a B&R central figure, he isn't just a customer. The fact he's using the restaurant means he actually let a prostitution ring growing inside his school. Quinn and his girls couldn't do all of this without his approval. Moreover, he has to cover his own butt. As a married man of wealth and reputation, he can't let a scandal erupt without taking measures to protect his integrity. Quinn isn't a crime lord with guns, high level relationships and henchmen. She's a student whom apparently has grown in a toxic environment. Her authority and nuisance potential is very limited (just like Lily's lovers pointed out). Burke, on the other hand has wealth, influence, authority and relationship. If shit goes down, he won't just stay passive, letting Hots have a catfight.

That was the whole point of Quinn and Mona's discussion. A man in his position can't let the girls have her ways without taking personal assurance. If the real tuition is a real thing, it's quite unlikely the restaurant is lucrative enough to secure tuition for several students. Burke taking a sponsorship role makes sense.




Quinn & Riona may actually have a far more serious problem. Riona's angst might be justified, if Quinn's aggressor is revealed to be more than a regular junkie but part of a rival group. Riona being afraid that Vinnie talked to someone isn't trivial considering the guy is revealed to be a bigger drug seller than Quinn.

I'm not saying that Burke can play an important role in the future, but for now it's just guesswork.

in the game for now Burke has been shown to us as a middle-aged man in crisis, who can't get respected by his wife or son, who goes after the students while still getting caught by his wife, of whom the students are not afraid.

is it just a facade? could be

however, being a client of Quinn's restaurant for Burke is a big weakness, which puts him in a weak position compared to Quinn, of the two he has the most to lose

What rules out Riona as the side girl?

From the official walkthrough.

EDIT: To be more specific. If any side girls of the MC did anything with other people it could be considered NTR by some. Melanie isn't officially a side girl, so it's still a maybe, but I think Riona is out of that. But who knows, SGs are not LIs, after all.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by strengthen the relationship with the players. From what I've seen in the forum's everyone is either pro Maya and were already aboard with the character or are just tired of being forced into more scene's with that character. Chapter six only made it worse for the latter. And with the big reveal being so ridiculous I can't even take that storyline seriously anymore. I'm dreading having to slog through more such scene's in future episodes.

I was referring only to the triple route, the path of friendship is the great absentee of the sixth chapter, having new moments in which Maya opens up, compliments Mc can only be pleased, this regardless of the general problems of the plot (the centrality of Maya regardless of the route, but in triple route it is legit)

I also don't think Quinn is going to have time to deal with Maya. No one has really talked about the cocaine issue with her and I feel like that's going to be a prominent issue amongst her future problems. That would also require Maya to return as a HOT. I don't think you'll see that again as Maya never wanted to be a HOT in the first place, has nothing but contempt for the sorority, and judging by her lines in the final scene, she seems to blame the HOT's for the scholarship thing as much as she does Quinn.

I highly doubt that the dialogue between Riona and Quinn is random, with Rion warning Quinn against still wanting to involve Maya

it will have consequences, I have no idea of the extent, but something will happen

I don't think you're seeing Sage clearly either. If the Chad is gay theory issue pans out it's going to be a major blow to her psychologically, revealing her entire life at college to have been a lie.

if Chad's lover was a HOTs the situation would be worse, but still we are only talking about small heart problems, not serious dangers on the horizon

Derek and/or MC would literally strangle her with their bare hands.

well, there's nothing to rule her out but there's no proof of the same either. It's the same as saying that Jill is his side bitch.

Derek let her do the scavenger hunt serenely without worrying about it, apart from hindering MC does not open up to me so present in her sister's life.

Josy and Mc would certainly oppose but it all depends on how events unfold, Maya could also find herself alone at that juncture, and she showed us how she was willing to do anything to get rid of paternal control

You can't be serious ... don't fuck me XD, TLOU2 is GOTY, or FF7R or maybe Ghost of Tsushima or Persona 5 Royal, Yakuza. But TLOU2 is GOTY almost certainly.

And look, you can't compare games like that, we are talking about a game that a guy makes alone from his home with RenPy and comparing it with games with millions of budget and hundreds of employees, it cannot be compared and still DPC and others around here get make us feel things that big productions do not, with these characters I have felt more things than with most characters from AAA games.

i think with "side" he means Chad's side girl.

Yeah, I edited later because I realized my point wasn't clear at all.

Small heart problem? Imagine how you would react if you found out that the person that you were devoted too for the last three years isn't who you thought they were. That their whole identity was an illusion. You don't think that would have any impact?

The post still doesn't make any sense. Even on the absurd triple path it was just more of the same for those that follow that path.

Read the dialogue between Quinn and Riona again. At the end of the scene Quinn says that she will address one of Riona's complaints and then proceeds to dump Maya from the restaurant. Remember until she was outmaneuvered, she was going to deny M&J membership in the HOT's.

has she been devoted to him for three years?
I don't think MC is the first friend with benefits
a betrayal with a girl (who therefore Chad would consider better than Sage) would be worse, a betrayal with a HOT that Sage knows would be very difficult to overcome
but we're talking about love disappointments, which a 20-year-old girl surpasses 99 times out of 100, and which we all don't survive.




Should Maya's revolt convince Quinn to leave her alone? not to seek revenge?

Derek would find out about the drugs and the prostitution, he wouldn't sit idle for that.

No its not, its an absolute garbage of a game that shouldn't have been nominated for anything but money talks. I am 99% sure the game awards are gonna be rigged for it to win, because Hades should win game of the year or Ghost of Tsushima.

And no I am not, go play Tsukihime and Fate/Stay Night done by 2 people and come back to me.

OK this is pointless. I think you're just bored and trying to pick a fight. There isn't even the smallest hint that Sage ever had another relationship, and I think you are perfectly aware of that.

 

[godkingxerxes]

Just hoping DPC don't go full AC on this game also.
By that I mean: Having at least one good ending to the game, not forcing a chastity belt on the MC as the only way to get a not so bad ending and not killing someone out of the blue.
My AC experience was enough to keep me away from this game until EP5.

Acting Lessons had good endings, I ended up perfectly fine with Rena and spent the game sleeping around. And that without the use of a walkthrough.

With the way people talk about AL here, it's like I played a different game.

Dunno her ending seemed to punish you quite a lot and make you feel like the biggest douchebag on the planet. That could just be me, but the tone is quite different from the other LIs good endings.

 

[felicemastronzo]

what? Why should we fight if you don't agree with my opinion?

sorry but with Mc who clearly took the initiative? if for three years Chad neglected her I don't see why he shouldn't have had another adventure without particular emotional involvement, it would be perfectly in character

but even assuming it never happened, she did it with MC, so the story of devotion holds up to a point.

but let's also say that Sage was Chad's devoted girlfriend, being left behind is something that happens to everyone in life, and luckily you survive very well

when I spoke of high and low alerts I was referring to dangers of a certain level, not to a sentimental crisis

Sage has only recently (since episode 1) felt that Chad was cheating on her, hence recruiting the MC as her "inside guy" (inside Sage as well...).

When she starts to mess around with the mc she justifies it because she believes Chad is messing around with another girl so she can too - a bit of a revenge thing even if Chad doesn't know about it.

Given how obsessed she is with getting evidence and then finding out his side chick, I'd say Sage took her relationship with Chad very seriously and it was only because of the hurt and MC's awesomeness that she started to open up (her legs) to him.

I don't feel she cheated before the mc came on the scene.

Plus, who else but the MC would have the balls to fuck around with Chad's girl Sage? The DIKs keep saying how they'd have MC's back but he pretty much is left to handle everything himself.
