The locked affinity isn't going to matter much in the next few episodes, but soon we'll see decisions that require a certain level of DIKitude.
Like we'll see something in episode 13 or so that requires massive DIK, and if you flirt with the light side you won't be able to save the day.
Doubt that. DPC (hopefully) is not going to lock game-changing and potentially life-saving moments behind a Status or Affinity check. If anything, such a moment will probably have a variation on the scene but won't stop you being part of the scene. For example, if there's a moment where a character is potentially facing certain danger, I don't see it being a case where if you're CHICK you'll go to them and if you're DIK you'll just stay at home. It will maybe just play out differently depending on Affinity/Status and also on flags from other moments in the game.
This reputation system is really weird, some scenes need dik or chik, can't be neutral...
Dude should trash the whole reputation system and just use a common sense approach based on your actions with the girls directly and those connected to them.
It's beyond lame you can't simply pursue the girls you like, you need to guess which reputation you need and most likely check a walkthrough
Having the 2 systems, Status and Affinity, is what I feel can be a bit of an issue. The Affinity has always been a bit confusing for some people because it involves such random and often not-so-big choices that seem to have a profound impact on how people perceive the MC, whereas the Status choices are the day-to-day decisions that feel more like they would have an impact on how people perceive him.
In my view, it could have worked similarly to what we currently have, but instead of Affinity and Major Choices knocking off portions of the bar, it would highlight relevant choices based on your Affinity and Status level. For example, if you were DIK Affinity and DIK Status, the choices that give +DIK points would be highlighted in DIK orange, and the higher you go up the Status bar (DIK, Huge DIK, Massive DIK), the more restrictive the choices become until you can no longer pick CHICK choices.
Plus neutral is some meta gaming shit, you don't get that playing without a guide or previous knowledge.
Not true. I've so far been able to get my Neutral Affinity purely by making all the decisions I wanted to make, and this is how it's worked out.
What there used to be one.
The Android port for Ep 5 was so badly broken that there hasn't been one since.
With a lot of hope because there isn't one so far.
Guys remember when Jill and MC both stayed over @ Bella's house and Jill was in Bella's bed. They had kind of an argument and Jill left to sleep on the couch with MC but I didn't quite get what it was about. Can anyone explain?
We don't know exactly what it was about, but I feel (and I think some others might agree) that it might indicate a possible intimate moment between the two.
Here's a post explaining my thoughts on it:

First thing is that we know of only one friend Bella has, and that's Jill. Could there be another "friend" that she's referring to? Someone we don't know about? Perhaps, but right now, all we know of is Jill.
Second thing, the context of that scene in Ep 5 would seem to suggest that this thing that happened that Jill is trying to assure Bella won't happen again is between the 2 of them. They're essentially staring into each others eyes for a prolonged period of time until Bella abruptly ends the eye contact. It clearly makes Jill think about why she did that and then she says, "It's not going to happen again", which would seem to indicate that something similar to this may have happened before and it led somewhere, hence why Jill says it won't happen "again". Bella's line about, "I thought we had an understanding", suggests that they talked about whetever this was and likely agreed that it wouldn't happen again but also never to talk about it again, which is what Jill is doing and it leads to Bella's agitation.
I personally wouldn't go so far as to say they had a full-on lesbian relationship, but at the very least they may have made out with each other and possibly shed some clothes in the process. Maybe they would have gone all the way, but perhaps they were interrupted by James and this is why Bella asks for forgiveness from him.
To me, it seems like there's an indication something happened between Bella and Jill and honestly, if this turns out to not be the case, then DPC will have thrown the biggest red herring into this game because it's hard to see what else this could be about.
I think something is going to drive Maya and Josy apart (if only temporarily). Whether it be Maya Dad (Josy leaves Maya thinking she is helping her not hurting her), MC's affections (your game choices), or Jill (MC rejects Jill, crazy for some I know). DPC simply cannot resist drama like that and every love story needs a point in the narrative where lovers are driven apart only to have to work to get back together.
On the non-M&J path, sure, because they won't have the MC as an intimate partner who is closer to the situation, but on the friend path something will probably happen, most likely the separation of Josy going to live at the HOTs in order to hide from Maya's Dad making another surprise appearance. It might not seem like much, but neither Josy or Maya will like it, especially Josy, and I reckon if you're only friends with them, you won't have moments where you can talk to them about it which makes them feel easier about it, hence why the friends path will lead to solo routes because he isn't as there for them as he would be on the M&J path.
