Despite the ever increasing number of stupid things that Maya has done, I would say that Quinn is still the worst written character in the game. She continues to be treated like the untouchable writer's pet, as seen by the incredibly lame scene where Quinn asks if you want to have a threesome with her. My character intentionally lost the cumpetition solely to avoid having sex with this rancid skank, but the harshest rejection I'm allowed to give her here is "No. I don't want that." That's it. No making fun of her, or telling her off for all the shit she's put Maya through or all the things she's done to you in the past. No asking her if she's going to charge you and Sage her standard rates. Nothing. It's pathetic.

Why set Quinn up as an antagonist if we aren't allowed to treat her as an antagonist? Why is Tybalt fair game but not Quinn? And how many times do we have to reject this loser before she finally gets a clue? More importantly, when are we going to be allowed to tell Sage the truth about Quinn?

We all know how hurt Sage was when she learned that Chad had betrayed her by cheating on her, so we all know that she will also be hurt to learn that Quinn has been abusing her trust and playing her for a fool for more than a year now. Sage is proud of the HOTs and takes her role seriously, while Quinn is taking advantage of all of the vulnerable girls that Sage is trying to help. It is completely wrong for us to have covered up for Quinn at all, let alone for as long as we have already. Especially when we have no reason to cover for her, and every reason not to.

Maya turning to Sage for help would make far more sense if we had first exposed all of Quinn's lies to Sage. But it hardly makes any sense as it stands now, because Sage still doesn't believe Maya and is still making excuses for Quinn. This is what makes Quinn a terrible character. She needs every other character to be dumbed down to unbelievable levels in order to prop her up, and the number one victim is the main character. He turns into a complete doormat whenever Quinn's shitty plot needs him to just stand around silently while she takes advantage of his friends.

It would've been so much fun to just tell Sage everything piece by piece as Quinn just sat there in a panic as her whole world crumbled around her. But it doesn't seem like we will ever get that now. I don't think Sage will ever learn the truth, because there's no way that anyone on her romance path could possibly give a reasonable excuse for keeping this from her for so long. It like when you are watching a television show where there is a bomb that's about to go off, but all of the main cast is in the room with the bomb, so you know there's no chance it would actually explode because that would be the end of the show. Which means that Quinn's character is now even more boring than before.
Wish I could like this more then once. (y)

So, guys, I have played the game till episode 5th and things were getting hot between jill and mc but then my laptop got fucked and I didn't continue further so my question is can we have a relationship with jill yet or just friends and stuff.
A relationship with Jill is definitely possible, depending on your choices, affinity, etc.

In fact, MС for 2 seasons was nothing for Sage except as a fuck buddy. And it never occurred to MC to ask who her parents were. I don't see this as a problem. MC just didn't care. In the last episode, when the relationship between MC and Sage became deeper, it made sense.
i don't think it's true, because we know that MC was not happy with being fuckbuddy and already in the first season he makes or can make Sage understand that he would like something more

but if that's the case, what does it matter?
Do you only know the last names of people you're in love with?
It's not that personal information...


the DIKs even when they see the movie with Jade they don't have the doubt to warn him... and they would be justified because MC doesn't care? they don't even care about finishing college evidently.
if they are idiots it could be

I think that’s an unfair response to a fair criticism.

This game is a slice of life of an over sexed, big dicked freshman at college. It’s got humor, drama and a light story. But it’s borderline the kinda novel a high school teenage girl would read, except the protagonist is a guy and there’s x-rated sex scenes.

Two years ago, if someone recommended this to me, or anything in the AVN genre, I’d have politely declined. It took COVID and a prolonged lockdown period for me to stumble in to this realm, and now, over a year later, I’m hooked on a story about relationships, pointless drama and computer generated images.

That said, it brings back memories for me, of a carefree time when girls were easy, consequences were few, and the dramas of life were mostly simple.

But if someone is looking for a porn game where it’s about advancing through sexual conquests with continuous fappable scenes, this is definitely not that game.
Your line about memories captured perfectly the main reason this, or even mainstream college dramas, is so popular. Beside its very high production value that is.

For many of us it's a reminder of a (exaggerated for drama) version of a carefree, crazy period of life that can't come back. Not only because of adulthood but because this seems too similar to 90s/early 00s version of college life, that's a bit harder to experience today. I'm not even from US to relate to frat drama but many of the crazy situations in this game feel familiar. And it's the same thing that turns me off from BADIK clones, where a dev is trying to capture the college party vibe and I get the feeling they probably haven't touched alcohol in their lives from what I'm reading.

So yes, maybe it has repeating situations of silly college drama, oversexed characters and small issues that seem important. But that was college life in a nutshell, everything seemed way more important than it really was in that time bubble.

Also sorry about the chinese word
And how do I check the version of the game ?
I think you can only see the version in the game, You tried from (Right click on the exe, Properties, Compatibility and activate the option "run program in compatibility mode for"?

Ok, i just finished every route. I also was reading some of the comments, trying to follow this mess. I had the feeling there was a lot of negative comments and deception from this episode. It's funny how even if DPC seemes to put everything in this update it still face with so much negativity. We not only got the biggest episode so far but for sure it tried to satisfied everyone, with Bella and Jill scenes, and the good bunch of secondary girls.

Yet I understand them. I had the same feeling, it wasnt as exciting as ep 7, and not even close as the first time I played ep 1 to 6. With his good momments didnt had the punk punch it had the first episodes or the sweetness of the latest ones.

Now, the issue is: a lot of it always comes more from the player than the writer. We waited 7 months to get 1/16 of a story. That's not the natural way to tell a story. A story is meant to be told in front of a fire in half four, to be watched on a tv screen in 2 hours or to be read in a book in a couple days. Thats why shows always have the same problems when it comes to narrative and audience starts to get tired at some point of the little problems that normally overloocked. Just like relationships. So, remember guys that you are not the same guy playing the game than when you did it for the first time.

It also doesnt help that we keep theorising and arguing over the game. Just think about it, pretty much everything in this update was guessed by someone the last months. Nothing was a surprise for me couse every posibility was already considered, not by me but by someone. It's even worst when in the heat of the argument you get stubborn about your ideas and they are proven wrong by the story.

None of this issues are hardly to blame on the story itself. Althought not blame, its on us. That's why art is subjective, couse it's the traits of the subject who defined the way a story will be enjoyed or not. You cannot force people to like a story. Schools try every year and they failed, spectacularly.

Saying this, in my opinion this episode did have a lot of flaws. Worst, some of them are a trend, wich comes all across the first of season 1, at least. So let me point them out.

1) The prose was not there. If something BADIK always had good dialogues. Every conversation in the first season had some lines wich makes it interesting to read. A joke, a good pun, even a well achieved sweet or deep moment. And yes comedy was there, true, but we also got a lot of... "Talking about feelings". A conversation mostly boring for male population, even more when they re not even your feelings. We got this instead of thoose small signs, subtle hints, who feels great presisly couse they are small. Bella smiling for first, Quinn resting his shoulder on MC, Jill finger trying to reach MC dick.

And even if its not feelings talk, still most of the dialogue were simple not as interesting. A lot couse of:

2) The MC is becoming more of a Mary Sue. Now this is always a problem with porn. Porn its a narcisistic activity, its self congratulatory. On top of that, mary sues are a frecuent problem in modern fiction. Yet Badik was different mostly couse it avoided it the first episodes. The joks hated the MC, the preps too, the nerds overlooked him as an idiot, even the DIK's didn't care too much since he was a maggot. Quinn and Sage were just sex no love, Bella thought he was a stupid kid, even Josy and Maya, the cutest ones let it clear that even if they like him he was just one wheel in the tricycle. On top of that he was broken and insecure.
Yet since ep 5 everything started to change. The DIKs become less of a cool gang you want to be with, and more of the group of "beta" male MC club fans. Quinn is less of: "let me show you the dark force, kid, see?, this is weed" and is more of a: "Wow, this is a relationship daddy, show me how it works?". The guy plays the Pachelbell song on a classic music concert and becomes a "Rock Star".
As a result we have line after line of: "Wow MC you are so cool/great at doing X/ big/ handsome/ strong/ intelligent". Sometimes is just ridicoulus and you laugh, sometimes is lame and you feel embarrased, but mostly is boring.

3) The punk punch is as gone as our hopes for a M/J birthday threesome. First Bella scene she hate us, give us a chance and we arrive drunk untill she felt sorry for us. Last Bella scene we had a romantic dinner on her house. First Maya scene we were sleeping, she suddenly start to teasing us untill we get electrocuted. Last one we went to a water park. First really sexual scene we break into an unknown house full of girls. Two unknown girls threat us untill we get naked, then throw us naked into the streets. Last one was a sleepover on our place (best dorm in campus).
Instead we get some emotional strong moments, some quite touching. And that's cool, but we want the punk punch, that's why we are here.

4) Lack of drama (yeah, lack of it) Everything work so fine, everything is so cool. If season 1 was a struggle to remain in college (literary survival), season 2 concerns are girls troubles, wich one of this hotties should MC choose from. It's like one of thoose shows where a guy has to choose beetween girls. Even worst i am picking all in different saves so...
MC status has not been really challenged since he join the DIKs.

5) Porn is eating the story. Now a lot of this I already talk about it. The MC becoming a Mary Sue, the lack of drama... But there is more. EP 8 had the smallest ammount of renders compared to animations and you can notice it. The renders cannot follow the growth on animations. So episodes take longer yet the story goes slower, mostly couse its interrupted at every 5 mins with a long (longer for some people) scene of a random girl being fucked. As long as we enjoyed the porn, the story still pays for it.

This are currently the negative things i saw from last update.

I got to admit you have some points here. Not to mention that secret kept for so long may be seen as a relationship deal breaker by a hurt Sage. And yeah, I'm one of the guilty ones that gets into all the tsundere thing with Quinn and forgets she's pretty much a pimp and a drug dealer who tried to put your first college friend and/or love interest (depends on your play) into prostitution by selling her lies. I like Quinn because I like to tame wild beasts, but I won't deny you brought some valid points. :unsure:

The problem is that we have accumulated so many mysteries and potential dangers that we are now addicted and do not react to anything.

Bella running away after the first date should make us tremble, but is there anyone who vaguely believed in real danger?

Porn is eating the story.
Well said. This is really a porn game, and there should be sex scenes in it, even if they are not plot-based. But I think it was done because DPC wanted to show what he had achieved as an artist. Another explanation is that the DPC does not know how to continue the plot. For me, season 2 ended almost with a happy ending. The girls are happy with MC and he starts a new chapter.

At this point the craziest theories that have been read in this thread have been confirmed over time :ROFLMAO:
Really? Which ones? I haven't heard any 'crazy' theory yet that's panned out correctly. I've seen a lot of them based on observational evidence that turned out to be accurate.

I've seen a lot of jokes about Tommy & MC being brothers, but I think it's pretty clear MC is going to wind up being related to Rusty, through his mother's family.
Plot got worst in episode 8 imo, just going for shock value and drama. how tf you don’t even know your fuck buddy’s last name??
Surprisingly easily, but I've only got half a century of experience and half a dozen FWB to base it on.
I want see bella get creampied
Good news!
So I just finished Acting Lessons, which was a good game sadly ruined by the fire. Before I start this game, can anyone tell me if it also has unavoidable deaths?
Not so far, but we're somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 through the game, so there's a lot to come yet.

I like Quinn's character, she's one of the few interesting things about this second season, but you're right that she's not believable as it seems all her faults are effectively forgotten

only Maya holds a grudge against her, for the others nothing happened, Sage, as strange as it is, let's admit she believes her, but how can MC (not sexually co-involved with her) listen to her? how can he agree to organize a party with a person he knows is shady and dangerous? how can an MC, who was supposedly looking for a serious relationship with Sage, accept a threesome with her?

A threesome will only happen if you follow Quinn's path. If a character follows her path, it's clear that he likes her. Neutral and chick Quinn will refuse.

The most interesting thing about the finale for me is Tommy. He's definitely becoming a fucking drug addict and there's no telling what he'll do for drugs. Perhaps his impulsivity is also caused by drug use. If the theory is correct and Heather is pregnant, then Tommy will explode. I don't know why, but DPC stubbornly makes Tommy the main asshole of history.

So Jill cant play before an audience. Everyone treats her like, no, it is not your fault, you are the best, etc. No one tells her to play the piano damn it or something like that. We even feel sorry for her!

And the game tells me at the end that I was at fault because I couldn't encourage her or whatever.................. (n) The Whole Jill route was a fucking letdown for me.
