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

[Holy Bacchus]

Why do people think James is going to come back? He's clearly dead or something but she feels like starting a new relationship would be cheating on his memory. Probably a military man MIA in some conflict which would explain a lot he's dead but she's in denial. The whole "I'd call for help" line about Bella suggests there is something wrong with her not a simple James walked out on her sort of thing.

He is not "clearly dead", there's 2 instances of inner monologue from Bella where it seems very clear that he is very much alive and that they have separated because of something both of them did which Bella both forgives him for and hopes he has forgiven her for.

This sounds more like a case of mutual cheating, likely him first, then her, and the reason she's so cagey about doing these things with the MC to begin with is because she feels she's betraying James again even though they are separated.

What i wouldn't give for the next update ....it would be funny if Jill gets a sex scene and Bella doesn't

 

[ALLAHZOE123]

I don't think so (if I understand correctly).

Seasons are made to be sold on steam, so they will never end with a real cliffhanger.
It could be this season's twist, but still end before season 3.

be careful with Jill's judgement, also the other LIs will get DPC's "Ludovico" cure, they too will be lobotomized at some point


p.s. i still fear that Bella will not have an ending

Damn that last sentence made me sad a little already. Having Acting Lessons vibes...

 

[Coinzell]

Imagine next semester. Bella teaching MC's class and then she calls over the MC to feel the baby kicking.

I'm sure i've seen this before, somebody already posted this...

I dont want to fight you, but I'll bitch slap who ever says the order cannon on choice driven games. Dont you make me angry.

Then don't fight. Why you even started? It was obviously joke (and, i must say, not even a little bit offensive) and some praise to the Sage. If you want get angry over this, then it's your choice.

Would be hilarious if the MC has sex with Jill in this episode but not Bella.

not like that.
I don't think Bella's an axe murderer.

but, as of today, I don't see how she can have a true happy ending with MC, in fact realistically the further away she is from him the better her life should go.

She's twice his age, she's married and she's a teacher at the college where he studies. what would have to happen for them to "live happily ever after"?

we can imagine a great passionate story, but one that can only end with a farewell

Hey i'm just talking shit but it would definitely be hilarious if Maya says i'm gay and fuck off MC

Happily ever after? no but an ending where she's happy with herself and has moved on? yeah i would say that's a good ending. MC can help her find happiness without them two being in a relationship, and i honestly don't think this is going to be dark or anything like that.

DPC could make it work between them because at the end of the day this is a game and not reality.

It’s a possibility about the Bella ending but I don’t think so. Imagine you build up a character for 16-20 episodes, you develop it's story, give it a personality and develop it how you envision it and you don't give it an ending. The public outrage will be huge and I think DPC will give all 5 LI's endings. But Bella's ending might be bittersweet, but satisfying overall.

if everyone goes their own way, how can it be a happy ending? we could say the same for Maya and Josy living their dream of love, Sage getting over her breakup with Chad and graduating from college.

It can be a good collateral ending to the others, while MC lives his story with X, Bella finally faces her life serenely.

But Bella's ending, it has to be with her.

I didn't refer to any dark turn, I simply don't see for Mc and Bella the perspective of something together

It's a good thing I'm not a writer then, because I don't see a solution.


At best they might have a clandestine affair during their college years, but that's really the "ultimate" happiness they can aspire to.

No It's fine that even if she doesn't end up with the Mc in the end at all. Bella not having an ending as a character is a sad thought. All of the other things you said is true and I agree with it.

Helping a very conflicted person move on with her life while enjoying a 'relationship' with her even for a bit? i think that would a happy ending even if they don't end together. Like i said you can make it work but it's a bit tricky, the main problem is MC being at the same school where she works but they can just choose not to show affection on school grounds while still being able to spend time with each other, at least until MC graduate.

She will. Even in AL, all LIs had an ending and Bella will get one here too.

It's a good thing I'm not a writer then, because I don't see a solution.

At best they might have a clandestine affair during their college years, but that's really the "ultimate" happiness they can aspire to.

I can see an ending for her. How it gets there is harder to see, but I can see ways that it can work with her in the end. I can see ways in which it can work for all the LIs on their different paths, even the M&J rejection path.

 

[Jimmy C-well]

Anyone here believe in the Arieth is the blackmailer theory? I mean no one believes the idiot is capable but if she is an evil genius...

 

[LuciferPrometheus]

The only happy ending that this game can have is MC getting together with both Bella and Jill. Bella and Jill are already close. It's time to bring them closer yet.

No.

So she decided to blackmail her boyfriend with the pictures of herself being fucked by whole college. Yeah. That's how you blackmail somebody. Nice move. It's fucking ingenious... Perfectly suits Arieth btw. She could do this shit.

hehe making bed with the Devil itself
great choice

As much as I would love for that to happen. I just don't envision DPC giving players some sort of Jill/Bella/MC ending. We already have M&J and regardless of how liked or not it is that's the threeway relationship that's been put in place. Fyi I really hope I'm wrong.
