Not really. DPC is not telling a story from the birth of a person to their death, he choose to start his story at the College level and people from 18-22 DO have baggage. I dont know if you went or not, but that kinda drama - Home, Parents, Grade pressure, love, drugs - not that rare. As said before that it all happens within the orbit of the MC, obviously unrealistic, but DPC has only that scope to tell his story.Not really. The execution matter at all stages. In this game things are mostly just happen. The characters are so entwined it's insane. The plot's full of coincidents and contrivances, there's dozens of examples. It's not about which themes are examined, it's about how. And yes, it's a soap opera level, because the focus is on emotional output, not on getting things uh, straight and sensible.
So no, one doesn't have to wait until the story fully unfolds in order to evaluate the level of writing here. Not to mention that DPC himself isn't hiding his sources of inspirations, which are American Pie and movies alike. Very lowbrow pieces of entertainment except that there's nothing wrong in enjoying those as long as you're aware of again, the level of it.
It's all comes to standarts and to cultural baggage in general. But it's fair to say that by porn games standarts, BaDIK's writing is relatively competent.
And YES, the progression and resolution of those story lines is the key to judging the work as a whole, since they are told either in backflashes or the interaction of the MC with other characters, we dont live them first hand, we are beeing told.
It's before halftime, and I would totally agree that he has opened many ( maybe even too many ) storylines with a lot of different characters, but if he can pull of a believeable progression and solution then he obviously has a good grasp on his talents and his limits. Now I dont know if he can or not, Im eager to find out, but untill we have all the backstory and see the progression any judgement is premature.
