VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[felicemastronzo]

The MC can tell Maya about the restaurant - it's just that he apparently has some very localized brain damage and the resulting babble sounded like the words "Quinn is evil!" in english.

But to be marginally more serious, I think the problem with the restaurant is slightly different because the MC has personal reasons to want to conceal the restaurant's existence (at least on some playthroughs). Whereas despite DavDR's personal feelings, all versions of the MC want to help Maya pay for college. On top of that, MCs who don't ue the restaurant and aren't particularly close to Sage might think she already knows about it and not realize it's entirely Quinn's operation.

In other words, the restaurant is more limited by the need to keep branching to manageable levels, whereas asking about free tuition would always be in character for him but would gut the main story of the game (unless it turned out the HOTs really do pay tuition, I suppose).

the same brain damage that prevents Neil from remembering anything.... must be hereditary

towards Sage you're probably right (although I think she'd rather hear it from Mc first than from Quinn or by herself later).

but if Mc is a customer of the restaurant, towards Maya he's even more of an asshole, because at that point it's not a rumor that the other girls, including Camilla who's a freshman like Maya, are really involved. instead of Mona from that room it could have been Maya running away from Burke. then especially knowing how much fun Quinn is having with Maya it would be an unforgivable omission

Neil's lack of memory will come into play soon. Though I wonder if he'll still be alive for MC to confront him for his lies.

there isn't a single segment with Neil that isn't at least disturbing... but the most disconcerting thing is that MC doesn't have any doubts at all

Anyone else thinks Derek looks like Neil?

the male characters really do all look alike

the DIKs look like a family photo

His blind faith in his dad is going to be his downfall when he finds out Neil is keeping the truth away from him.

MC is already prone to over the top hissy fits, when he finds out his mother his alive and Neil knew, all hell won't stop the MC from crying into his pillow.

I assume many are based on the same character models.

Weirdly, although they don't look much like him, Tommy reminds me of Shaun William Scott as Stiffler whereas MC reminds me of every other character he's played

I don't think Neil's possible lies are that big... I wouldn't bet on his state of health anyway

You can't, it's just a way to study, look for hidden renders you might have missed earlier and steal her money.

When Lynette is shown as alive, that's a pretty big omission.

But maybe they aren't lies, he does show signs of someone with a tad bit of brain damage.

Either way, calling it now, Lynette is alive.(I called it months ago, but making it all official like now)

I actually also had this thought that maybe MC's mom is actually alive but at the moment it seems very hard to understand how or why. Why would Neil lie about it? My initial thought when the letter came was that maybe his mom is alive and in that letter she explains why she left and why Neil lied or something like that.

It's true that we've never seen Lynette's grave , but that seems too much.

Unless it was Lynette who wanted to disappear, it's really very difficult to hide something like that in a civilized country.

Maybe Neil's been lying so long he forgot why he's lying. Maybe that's where his memory issues come from, his mind is fragmented, he no longer knows what is real and what isn't.

Or Lynette is responsible.

It wouldn't be like Lynette is hiding from the government. MC believes she's dead, he has no reason to look for her, and if he did he doesn't have the resources to find her anyways.

I can't see the dad lying to him. Remember this whole story is a flashback and it starts with the MC telling us how great his dad is. If his dad had fucked him over, the beginning of the flashback would be more like:

"Here's my dad, he's a lying cunt!"​

Nah, I recon his dad's a straight up good guy.

Not to mention that the letter with the 5k check, her diary, and her belongings is indeed MC's inheritance and even Jill (Jill!) says that's the common procedure in that state. So she's dead. I've read some crazy theories here but I think we can safely discard this one
