I wouldn't say it wasn't necessary, it made Quinn's character even clearer. She does what she wants and she doesn't care what others want or think about it. First and foremost, this is probably just an outer protective wall that is supposed to make her less vulnerable. Some small stones have now been removed (on her path) by the MC, hopefully many more will follow and the real Quinn will come out before it ends badly for her.
I don't think you're going to have more luck with Jill as a DIK MC. If anything, that will hurt your chances. She is a CHICK-side LI all the way. DPC is keeping up this Tybalt blackmail charade for the purposes of story drama. I don't think many players believe that storyline is plausible, but DPC can't have MC and Jill immediately living happily together with zero relationship barriers. I just would have preferred some other more believable type of drama, but alas this is what we are stuck with. The only question now is how much longer DPC will drag it out. The third Tybalt date should be happening soon. After that, it's time to nix that sub-plot so MC can begin wooing Jill in earnest. Jill doesn't need any more relationship barriers...she is her OWN relationship barrier in that she is too nervous to have sex. It's going to take many many episodes to overcome that. Maybe Tybalt will finally move on from Jill after he finds true love with Minny.
We can't know for certain, but I would be willing to bet a considerable amount against there ever being a harem in BaDIK.
I think there might be a secret harem ending this time around. At the beginning of the narration, MC refers to him and his dad and says something along the lines of 'it was just the two of us back then' ... which implies such is no longer the case in present day. That could refer to a significant other / normal ending, but perhaps it means something more ... but the question to really ask is whether the harem ending is on the CHICK (love) or DIK (lust) route.We can't know for certain, but I would be willing to bet a considerable amount against there ever being a harem in BaDIK.
Unless you would count Maya and Josy by themselves as a harem; in that case, I would be prepared to make no sudden movements and drop the discussion before we attract DPC's attention.
He's just alluding to his daddy's death. It was two, soon to be one.
Probably the #1 thing that bothers me in this game. Not only is her drama comical it's also not plausible. Im going to stand on this soap box forever; there's absolutely no way Burke would ever allow Tybalt to open any sort of investigation at the school. Burke would have to be brain dead not to see how that would catastrophically backfire.
Yeah, this Tybalt stuff can't continue ad infinitum. You're right about Burke not allowing an investigation, but does he even know about the blackmail? If he doesn't learn about it until after Tybalt kickstarts an investigation, then there isn't much he could do and the damage to him would already be done...namely outside scrutiny.
The storyline itself doesn't make sense. It's just weird. If DPC wanted to add a "barrier" between them, then he could have gone with "parents don't approve because you're a 3rd class peasant worse than Jack Dawson" story line.
The Tybalt blackmail sub-plot hurts the character of Jill even more than the player. It makes her look naive, weak, and incredibly stupid. If you are a 21-yr old person falling for something like that then my goodness, the outside world is really going to eat you alive when you step outside B&R. At least we got that scene of Bella dropping some truth bombs on Jill. I was like, Finally! Someone telling Jill how ridiculous she is acting.
Theory: the Royces only recognize gay relationships. Jill's sister was kicked out of the house for being straight, and now her parents are going to be barging into her room looking for boys. If they find her with a boy, they've threatened to pay for her tuition when they know she wants to pay her own way as punishment. Jill gets disowned for having Tybalt's love child, Bella murders Tybalt, the Royces adopt Maya, and MC lives happily ever after with Sage and Jade.
Not can't. Won't.
But what if it turns out that Tybalt is actually a disguised Roger from American Dad?! In another female disguise (e.g. as Josy, because Roger has also played this role so far) it would certainly not be difficult for him to deceive Jill's parents. Jill has her baby (via immaculate conception) and they will live happily ever after.
I like the cut of your gib, thorin. Season 15 of Being a DIK ('Out of Ideas') will prove one of us correct.
If that's your angle then go the whole hog and claim Tybalt is actually Pistachio Disguisey (if you understand that reference then I feel really bad for you)
