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

[ChipLecsap]

No, I'm saying that the situation could be agreeing to go with Jill first and then getting Sage's call. That's still a hard decision, but there's a difference, it's not a sick friend+a promise vs hanging out, it's a sick friend vs a promise, and in this case it would make more sense for a Chick to pick either morally speaking. And Sage could still be pissed you prefer hanging out instead of helping her, not as pissed, but she could still rethink things and do whatever DPC wants her to do next in that scenario.

yeah aha, your whole argument is based on its goes against "chick personality" . well guess what , what if my MC has Dik personality? .
this is not chick vs Dik decision, it's not a "personality decision". it's a simple "Fuck you , don't think so" moment for those who are chasing both Jill and Sage romantically. . ( like ME )

and shazba, post about Sage's text messages, is the proof. based on what type of relationship you are in with her, she will react slightly differently. She obviously more meaner if you are in an intimate relationship with her and you blow her off. This is a a crossroad. maybe not major , but may be important in the future.
what this tells me, is that regardless of you dik or chick "personality", You Can't Have Jill and Sage at both time. You can't pursue it them in the same time, in a same playthrough. they are in an oposite scale.
proof of that, the MC will have the same emotional conversation about his mother's death, with both of them.

so yeah, you can see this as a Punishment for try to get both girl, but you cant see this as a bad writing just because you don't like it, and in the order of the event, won't change this. It does not matter, your "fix " with Jill show up first, and Sage call you after. because it's not about that. You can't have both, simple, and this was the Turning Point. we will encounter similar Turning points later, I'm sure of it. and yes, we might have Joint events of endings, with girls. Like May be Josy and Maya, or Sage and quinn, or other variations. but Jill and Sage are not in the same page.

the impression that Quinn's Empire of Evil is more in the imagination than in reality

Quinn and MC jointly ruling over an Empire of Evil with a Scarface-esque climax is an alternate ending I can get behind.

 

[ename144]

Quinn at one point accuses Riona of smoking too much free merchandise, now either that's a joke, but it doesn't seem like it, or Riona smokes as much as all sports bettors together, or Quinn's business produces the earnings of a homemade lemonade stand. ...

Quinn said that to Tommy to explain why she ditched him at the Hell Week party. It's a near certainty she was lying.

Quinn had to slap Riona because she had no comeback to Riona calling her a fucking idiot; if Riona really had been smoking for free, I think Quinn would have brought it up.

In this I am with you 100%

 

[Odin73]

I have, the official walkthrough link only provides up to episode 5. I remember something about DPC releasing an official episode 6 walkthrough two weeks after its release. I'll probably just use the fan walkthrough though, thank you for the help.

Yes it does but only to Patreon If I remember correctly. I use walkthrough mod which is helpful as well.

 

[BenMeiffert]

I don't see Quinn dying. What i can see is someone else dying because of her bullshit, and this person could be Riona or Camila. They're both characters we interacted and are popular with the fanbase (for side girls). Honestly, Riona dying wouldn't make me that sad, since she is basically Quinn's right hand, but Camila dying would be really tragic.

if i need to choose who will die.... so let's go with Tybalt, Chad, Dawe, Troy, Burke, Maya's dad and Vinny....
and let's fuck Maya, Josie, Jill, Sage, Bella, Quinn, Riona, Camila, Sarah, Melanie, Mona (she's back), Jade, Cathy, Heather, KRJ, Sally, Lily, Nicole... and let Derek with Ashley, Crabgirl and the feminists.

 

[Darkdevil66]

That said, now that we know someone is actively stalking Quinn and stealing her profits, I wonder if the reason Quinn was short had nothing to do with using drugs for free. Perhaps Episode 6 wasn't the first time her money was stolen, just the most obvious?

In that case, she should have been more anxious and suspicious. Her or Riona would have mentioned it during their scenes. She quickly dismissed Riona's fears about Vinny and the possibility of being stalked. Being stolen several times in the past would have made her seriously reconsider the way she operates. Riona is about to crumble, I doubt she would have handled previous robberies without trying to leave.

Perhaps her operations aren't just lucrative enough. Quinn could also have secretly used part of the money for personal purposes.

Can someone update/upload the official guide for Ep.6 please? (Trying not to read the comments cause I have yet to play and didn't want to spoil myself.)

Thank you!

let's not joke

MC is more CHICK than Jill
would a DIK tell someone else to follow his heart? come on
he is so CHICK that when he does something DIKish he immediately forgets it and removes it from his memory.
is a continuous of "dad told me ..." "dad would never want me .."

on the choices between the LIs, very much in agreement, then in the end in any form they would be contested, but for now they have been chosen in a really stupid way (the guitar course, help to tidy up), if it were so easy to dump someone it would be a better world

leaves me a bit confused that in the middle of the game we could already have sentenced Mc to celibacy ...

 

[obibobi]

More like the entertainment industry in general. Take this forum for example, a lot of the games are practically the same manipulation/corruption narrative, they're almost replaceable. Hence why this one is so popular, even though the plot would be banal if played out in real life. But even something like this doesn't last, as DPC has apparently grown big enough to censor any voice of disagreement.

I can't agree with you there at all as far as these games go. The appeal of porn games is that there is a storytelling. The limitations and cliches often come from how limited the infrastructure is. Even if there's an audience willing to pay, it's incredibly hard to start an indie studio to make these and it's not that he censors disagreement, Cake somehow manages to make a proper game, with actual story which is what a lot of these devs are trying to do.

 

[godkingxerxes]

But the point is that those scenarios forces the player to go against his characterization! How can a CHICK MC be penalized by the most CHICK LI for making a CHICK decision, according to what the game has taught us a CHICK is?

Nobody is being penalized for anything.

Miniscule RP don't matter at this point. If choosing Sage causes a CHICK MC to lose Jill forever then you have a point

As if right now, you created an imaginary situation in your head, and are trying to argue from that standpoint.

RPs count for little at all, but these kinds of choices are usually pretty permanent

 

[shazba]

Why he doesn't tell her the reason he can't go is baffling regardless of what affinity the MC has because you'd think he would and if he did then maybe it wouldn't seem like you're making a terrible mistake by how Jill reacts to it.

He does tell her why he can't go:

mc "I'm so sorry. You caught me at a bad time."
mc "I made a promise to a friend to come help her."
mc "She's sick and needs someone to take care of her."

ji "Oh... Yeah, of course. I understand."
ji "I didn't plan anything big. It was spontaneous."
ji "You're allowed to have other plans. Haha..."
ji "So, uh. Happy birthday."

mc "Thanks, Jill. I appreciate it."

ji "(I can't blurt it out now... Crap...)"
ji "(Maybe it's a sign?)"
ji "(Maybe it's best to not even tell him...)"

[godkingxerxes]

At the half way point of the game? I highly doubt Jill or Sage are locked out based on that choice.

But then again I'm surprised that Maya/Josy got locked out so early too.

A DIK player can choose more freely, because that wouldn't be aganist his personality, like a CHICK MC would be. That's what my whole argument is about.

so yeah, you can see this as a Punishment for try to get both girl, but you cant see this as a bad writing just because you don't like it, and in the order of the event, won't change this.

...I'm not aganist being blocked from getting both. It's not what this is about.

 

[shazba]

RPs count for little at all, but these kinds of choices are usually pretty permanent

By the end of episode 6, Jill's RPs are used to create the report at the end of each episode, to say things like, "I got a good feeling from talking to her" or, "She seems to like me" and so on. The only other single time her RPs are used for are ... wait for it...

Perhaps her operations aren't just lucrative enough. Quinn could also have secretly used part of the money for personal purposes.

There's that line Buddy made about how if Quinn knew how Vinny was running his operations, she wouldn't be behind him in income. She just kept her mouth shut there, but I got the feeling from that interaction that she's intentionally keeping her operation small. Even the whole "six new sisters" putting a strain on her margins ended up being a little bit of a fakeout in that she always intended to fail Maya/Josy. So my guess is she's trying to not go all-in on the drug dealer/pimp life. She's keeping her operation small, so that she doesn't make big waves and keeps herself an unknown in the game. Using it for her own ends and then she's going to cut and run.

My two cents.
