Not if you're on the Jill solo path, he didn'tMC came first
First came first, bruhWhich came first Jill or Quinn?
So Quinn is a confirmed antagonist? Her plot affects the main plot?Quinn cause she is an antagonist. Jill story doesn't affect main plot necessarily.
Have you looked at DPC's official walkthrough? Sage is the only clearly defined DIK-side LI (unless Quinn is prompted to main LI status). How else do you explain points being awarded only for DIK actions and dialogue choices being grayed out for Huge and Massive DIK actions in season 1 for Sage? DPC all but DIK-slaps you in the face with Sage being clearly defined both in the walkthrough and during in game moments such as the episode end recaps.I don't think that matches though - Sage isn't clearly defined as DIK or CHIK either way. The initial first impression does not make her a DIK favored character. The only outright DIK character that maintains that from the get go is Quinn. Sage quickly shows up as being someone who responds AND dislikes DIK/CHIK actions. I'd say she's probably the most Neutral route favoring girl in the game at this point.
I do see what you're referencing - like the early Massive DIK response where you check out her g-string. But there are points in the story where taking an empathetic approach nets you +RP with Sage that is opposite of the DIK choices.Have you looked at DPC's official walkthrough?

If your contention is that Sage isn't clearly defined as DIK or CHICK then by that logic Jill isn't clearly defined as DIK or CHICK either and we all know that isn't true.
An empathic +RP can be explained as MC taking notice in Sage, something Chad has failed to do. She is thinking of herself here more than of others. Self-centered people like it when you pay attention to them.I do see what you're referencing - like the early Massive DIK response where you check out her g-string.

I do think she's leaning more to the "confident" male personality that DIK exudes but I think saying she's a major DIK aligned option is doing her a disservice and further I don't think she drastically alters her personality either during the game as much as she just realizes how shitty her current relationship is due to interactions with your character. It feels pretty organic and doesn't really fall into the 180 territory.
If anything she's the only character I feel that actually lets you be CHIK, DIK or Neutral and still get to enjoy pretty much the majority of her content whereas all the rest are locked out/lose large chunks of content if you slide one way or another.
Well it's 1.5 hours until there is a gap in the art, implying that there is art made for after said gap. So there is more than that 1.5 hours of content done, it's just there is a big 1.5 hour chunk at the start that is done.Almost Every Episode lasts up to 6 hours approximately if Played at a normal speed and without skipping anything, for just one route. DPC was able to play about 1.5 hours which means 25% of the EP or a route...I guess it is Ep
I don't know anything So I summon the Big Table and the Charts.
Well if anything I think you raise a point where there probably should be at least another DIK-option. But I still don't think Sage shifts in a way that's detrimental and you can still pretty much get all her content from EP1 and on just being a CHIK if you prefer. While it's fair to say you get some extra spicy comments if you employ DIK commentary, she's still open to you no matter your alignment. This is why I don't feel like she should be put as "DIK first but changes to be CHIK".An empathic +RP can be explained as MC taking notice in Sage, something Chad has failed to do. She is thinking of herself here more than of others. Self-centered people like it when you pay attention to them.
I disagree more on this next point. Season 1 Sage is as full DIK as you can get. Compare Sage's actions (and what she prefers from MC) in the early episodes to ep. 6 and especially ep. 7 Sage. Everything she does with Maya is as CHICK as you can get. It's something I would expect of Jill.
Again, I like some character arc but the idea of having 5 CHICK-side LIs by game end is boring. I would be fine with Sage's transition if DPC promoted Quinn to main LI. My problem is I come from the KOTOR/Mass Effect school of gaming where I can be Sith/Renegade and still have a somewhat satisfying ending and bad girls to play with along the way. DPC clearly isn't going to give us that, but at least I can enjoy the journey.
Bro, I think you put to much stock in rp and allingment, I think Sage is just reacting to what happens, and imo in a very believeable way too.Have you looked at DPC's official walkthrough?

I'm with the others in this one, I don't See change in Sage, it's not like you had to follow a specific path and choices until episode 7 , and then suddenly everything changed.Have you looked at DPC's official walkthrough?

I don't know mate, I think Season 1 Sage is gone forever after what I saw in ep. 7. I think DPC did originally have the KOTOR/Mass Effect light side/dark side in mind when he created DIK/CHICK, but as the story went along he came to the conclusion that he didn't need it that much. He even says he doesn't want players RP fishing (as you said). DPC probably figures the DIK/CHICK stuff has already served its purpose since by ep. 7 most people are either locked in to one side or close to it. You really have to be dedicated with your meta to maintain a true neutral playthrough.Bro, I think you put to much stock in rp and allingment, I think Sage is just reacting to what happens, and imo in a very believeable way too.
She is confident at the start and likes confidence in her men, but you have to consider what happens next. She gets cheated on first, then dumped, then sick but your old Sage is already slowly coming back to the way she was. When she dresses Quinn down in the shower she is confident again, when she approaches MC at the HOT party she is beeing clear about what she wants - cock.
Dont be sad about losing "old" Sage yet, I think she is about to make a comeback soon
I came from the same background, and I ' m afraid that This is exactly what he gonna give us, and it is Shit.

Others have pointed out it thoroughly. Read Shaba's post than mine and you will have your answers.-You're bringing up things unrelated to my main point. And two things can be true at once. Sure Sage can be with Chad (and his muscular physique as you oddly reference ) for prestige, but I'm talking about Sage liking when MC (specifically) acts in a masculine DIKish manner.
-Sage enjoying control during sex only shows her DIK tendencies even more. She will take a bedroom submissive MC because she just wants some action and to feel wanted sexually, but if the MC acts aggressive in or out of bed, she definitely likes it more. In other words, she is DIK side and prefers her mates to be DIK side.
-I'm having a hard time translating what you are saying. I think you are asking why Sage is moving away from DIK behaviour. Well that is exactly my point good sir! Early on she is pure DIK and by the end of ep. 7 she is acting full if not massive CHICK. That's my entire point. Sage has transitioned from early DIK (she acts DIK and rewards a DIK MC), to now CHICK at ep. 7 end.
I want DPC to leave us at least one pure DIK LI. I'd prefer he doesn't have everyone do a 180 to achieve this, but we will see.
Man renegade Shep, good memories! That's how I try to play BaDIK with MC, but I must remember this is college campus in CA? USA and not adventure time in the Milky Way. (Whoa, poet and I didn't know it) Still, BaDIK is one of the best if not the best AVNs right now. At the very least I can still act like an evil character in BaDIK even if I get punished for it whereas in ME I get rewarded with a funny cut scene.I came from the same background, and I ' m afraid that This is exactly what he gonna give us, and it is Shit.

I hear ya, but in my head, and I obviously have no proof whatsoever, "renegade" sage will make an appearance later on, now it might not be Episode 8,9 or 10 - but I dont see Sage like a girl that would back down from a fight.I don't know mate, I think Season 1 Sage is gone forever after what I saw in ep. 7.
