Regarding Sage's family revelation I wasn't that bothered at first tbh, I thought about when I first went to college and I talked to people in my classes every day and didn't knew their last name.
But then I also remembered that as soon as I added them on social media, I learned their names, so then I started to think, BaDIK's world has rooster, and thus, the illusion was completely broken, yeah, I can't really buy that the MC doesn't know Sage's last name, especially if he's dating her.
I can completely buy that. It once took me 6 months to remember a girlfriend's last name. And no, it had nothing to do with our breaking up after 3 years.

I really hope she'll have more space in future updates.
Very nice. There's a little something from Mel, too, but not to that level.

Sarah and Mel getting some love in Episode 8 was definitely nice.

It's a shame DPC isn't interested in making BaDIK as dark as Acting Lessons, because there are some potentially very dark endings for Quinn, everyone involved in her Prostitution ring , and possibly Isabella & Tommy too.

A lot of things are getting retconned, mostly to appease to the masses, because I think if DPC fully explored the narrative he initially set up, the game would be getting a lot more negative reviews
We're at most half way through, if DPC is telling the truth. Plenty of time for him to live up to his reputation!

My journey through BaDIK

Episode 1
Ick, redheads are usually my type, but her hair is just all over the place. Hard pass in favor of other options.

Episode 2
Oh, okay, apparently that first day was just a real bad hair day. Her boyfriend seems like a douche too, so I'll hit that.

Episode 3
This teacher is in an unhealthy relationship with her cheating husband and she wants to get back at her hubby. Sure, why not, I'm fucking my way through half the class, so why not.

Episode 4
Wild sex with a teacher while her husband is in the other room? That is my fetishhhhhh. Sage is growing on me fast though, smart, cute, wild? Fuck and yes.

Episode 5
Prooobably didn't need to share the sex tape. On the other hand, her son is Tybalt so fucking LOL. This couldn't get much better.

Episode 6
Sage is sick and I'm crushing on the poor girl. So sad. Was going well till I noticed that the sex tape that was 'sealed' by the Diks is in the end credits. That, isn't ideal. Maybe a breakup is the best thing for her family? Shitty that I'll probably lose that relationship when it blows up in my face though.

Episode 7
Not sure it matters anyways, my official main route is now 100% sage after the great scene and great characterization in the episode.

Episode 8

Man hahaha you just described my first playthrough. Let me guess? You also abused the shit out of Tybalt breaking his teeth in Tennis? Hahaha I'll say that the sage path has been the most "interesting" one. Even when I was aware of the theories of sage being Burke and Jade's daughter, when they were going to help Maya I was on the edge of my seat. My other DIK playthroughs weren't as impactful.

I agree with your pt2
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.
I do think the character development is a bit too quick I guess? It takes only 1 season to transform MC from a nobody the hot shit that we see in S2. What I was going to expect was MC would begin to be accepted by people around him. like
Tommy: "Look MC, I know you are not happy with the Hell week treatment, and I am not going to say sorry. It is our tradition that maggots have to prove themselves worthy and willing in order to join DIK. But now you have passed the test and become one of us. In the future if you have any problem, just tell your brothers, doesn't matter who, Rusty, me, JamJam, whoever, we will do our best to help you sort things out."
or
If MC is a dik, Quinn: "Look perv, you know besides fast food, we also too serve... liquor... but only to clients who are.... "licensed". Say are you interested?"
But nope, MC became an instant hot shot XD instead.

But when this combine with your pt.4...
BUT for pt4 said:
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, which one of this hotties should MC choose from. It's like one of those shows where a guy has to choose between girls. Even worst I am picking all in different saves so...
MC status has not been really challenged since he join the DIKs.
It makes me think that the real shit storm is coming. With the storytelling pattern of AL (things are looking real good, a nice place to put a full-stop if it was a fairytale before the oh-shit moment). I'll say S2 prolly is a "transitional season", preparing the MC for the meat of the story.

Of course, this is just hypothetical, we may never prove our theory/glance at the full picture before DPC release the whole game. XD

So i would bet alot that the "others path" is the future of the game : here's why

maya and josey + mc =3rd wheel and a cuck (chick route =cuck )

Jill + mc = simp cuck
Jill will eventually leave for some plot twist

Bella +mc = eventual cryboy cuck
Some bs about work or ex coming back will make you a cuck

Sage +mc = simp and cryboy
But she puts out but eventually will graduate and leaves mc

Notice the word chick and
Cuck look similar only difference is a beta male saying "hi" "u"

Let be honest there storys are all run of the mill and generic so they burn bright but won't take you far.

dpc loves letting the underdog.

The others id say deep characters and complex ones go the farthest

Mc's ex will be a new main in S3

Riona her story is mystery so shes gonna have a deep story and probably a new main.

Quinn :boys... broccoli. Thats right we broke her shes definitely a new main

Nora= new bella/jade/cathy not sure she will be a main tho

Lily definitely the a new main she not your average blond that strips to pay for school unlike a few chicks for some reason she is very forward about wanting mc. She might be the new quinn a tough out to get to admit that wanting to "roll" together is really to have a relationship

And then we have Nicole her character is developing quickly she has a kid but thats a route that will make mc mature and leave school to play daddy with stripper mommy i mean it could very well be a deep route

Camilla nah

Sarah nah

Mel nah

Heather kinda nah i see her as more of a chick that will bring the diks to fighting each other

Sally nah she gonna just make the preps mad preps gonna get revenge some bs to do with midterms or some shit (great ass tho)

Im pretty sure were gonna get at least 5 new mains from current side chicks and the current mains are gonna be the new side chicks

Because thats the first m'nite shyamalan twist on a large scale
Its our house fire of acting lessons so to say.

Tho a very strict and simp path for jill and Josy may make it to the end their paths arnt gonna be very fun going forward
Josey already puts out qnd jill well shes too squeeky clean vergin-y tho it would be hot to see her character become "real" and corrupt but i kinda doubt shes gonna take the game to the end

The im not ready for a relationship bs choosing others is to only be really choosing a relationship with different new mains and getting them to break this false face of never have originally wanting a relationship its the sex em till they love you path its darker storys which is more interesting because people with darker storys who are harder to get love the hardest and fuck the best


Just saying id take the chick with walls built up any day they are defensive and fierce but will give everything when you have them

Chick routs and the current mains nah its too much beta male stuff for fluffyness and very unreal with life

Dpc likes the gripping realism

Thats why our harem mindset of fucking everyone i till chapter 8 just got a reality check

Man, this Tara is such an eye candy. I wish she was introduced from episode 1.
See, I feel exactly the opposite. When the two of them appeared, I said "Oh, hey, Kylie(or is it Penny? I can't keep them sorted mentally) has a meth-head girlfriend! Man, she's so scrawny and drugged-out looking she reminds me of Tara Reid!" then BAM, oh shit, that's who she is!

At least the brunette had some common sense. "Don't let him cum in you, do you want to get pregnant?" (yeah, looking at you Jill fans, DPC was harping really hard on it this episode).

Who cheated on you, man?
Lmfao a few but tbh. If it didnt happen life lessons wouldn't have been learned and i would be worse off

Breaking walls darker storys are more mature for this game its realism with alot of people gonna be mad/sad but eventually reward this game definitely hasn't reach the plot twist yet so if its easy to have now later it wont be around late game relationship building with the maingirls been to easy

Hey, relax dude. It's only a game. Don't forget that. Becoming attached to fictional characters is dangerous. I'm sure most of us are guilty of taking the game too seriously, but you need to look at the game for what it is. It is beat-off material. Nothing more, nothing less.

That being said...
bella is love, bella is life

reading through the posts I have to agree, where was Sally hiding that ass, like seriously, I thought she was kind of interesting during her times on screen and the DnG sections also having some rewards dedicated to her I think she would have made a more interesting nerdy girl love interest if the story were different.

I haven't been following this thread thoroughly, but I agree with everyone on the awkward breakup the MC had at the end. I was on my dik save, since that was the only latest save that worked, and I got to the part after the recital where the MC was questioning things. He was like "Look at these girls all friends, and I made out with all of them, and it's not right to play them all like I have" and I was like "Um, no? This isn't that save." and I pretty much just had Sage and the side bitches on this save. So it was like, I had no choice but to break up with Sage or the side bitches. Like, WTF?

Also are they skipping the Halloween party? Or was it skipped, cause it looked like it was November when I talked to Sage in the forest. Which would make me sad with all the teasing they did for it. like: "Hey guys, we're going to have the most awesome party every with all the hot chicks on campus! Too bad it's going to happen off screen"

My overall thoughts; I haven't done anything else in this episode yet, since i didn't thoroughly check which save worked, but locking LI's all at once like this is a bit of a mistake. I'm not even saying things shouldn't lock, but a lot of content is getting locked out now. In season 1, even though you had branching paths, there was enough content in each branch. Staying with Bella had a lot of content, staying with Sage had a lot of content, I would imagine staying with Derek has a lot of content (Didn't try that yet), but in this episode, there's nothing there. DPC needs to start adding non-romantic content with the other girls or something. Bella cut my hair, asked if MC was staying for lunch, and then a black screen and I was back in my dorm (Or whatever the next scene was). Couldn't there have been some non-sexual setup or something for them to have done at lunch, if you're going to lock the sex routes? The stalker with Riona was pretty lame too. I mean, you had a guy stalking Chad, who knows what he was up to. Said person could have been the same person that hit Quinn and stole her stuff. I don't actually mind the guy stalking Riona was the dude from the cumpetition, but it would have been better if the MC was getting closer to the other guy, and ends up bagging the guy from the cumpetition instead. Would have been good foreshadowing, and would have made Riona being stalked more meaningful. Instead it was dealt with in 5 minutes, and pretty anti-climactic (Didn't even bang Riona after that).

Overall I'm still looking forward to episode 9, I hope they don't screw up the MC's first girlfriend (Can't remember her name). There's so much they can do with her, and I fully expect her to be like cats and dogs with Quinn.

Overall thoughts about season2? Episode 5 should have been the season finale for season 1. Infiltrating the Alpha Nu Omega's mansion was well done and would have left the season 1 on a high note; finally achieved being a Dik and had one hell of a party crasher as a initiation party. Episode 6 felt empty, until the end when they did like 2 episodes worth of story with Cathy leaving. Which was out of left field considering she had resigned to using this new fear from the students to her advantage. I really liked episode 7. A lot happened there and I feel we finally got Sage at her full potential. We finally got to see why Sage was in charge of the Hots, we finally see how academically inclined she is and even her convincing Maya to join the Hots was nice. Like, I just liked the way she left her uniform there "This is yours". True leader there. Even with the other girls. We got more story for Maya, I actually enjoyed spending time with Josy. Jill got a lot of development if you were on her path, Bella also got development. Then this episode happened. I mean, you could see a lot in episode 7 since a lot of content isn't locked on paths, but this episdoe? I'm sure there's a lot there, but I don't see much options there as a Dik. Ironically, all the options are on the chick/neutral end, so it's like, being a chick is where you're a player, being a Dik locks you into a relationship.
