On the contrary, Quinn might be more linked to affinity/status and choices than any other character - starting from episode 1. You need to be Huge DIK to get 100% completion of the scene with Quinn and Camila in the shower room. Similarly in episode 4 you need DIK affinity to unlock the whole scene with her in her bedroom when MC stays over at Sage's.
It's true that smoking weed on the roof isn't dependent on anything else - but it's the unofficial start of Quinn's route and becomes a key condition of unlocking each subsequent step. Helping her in episode 6, for example, can't be done if you've been avoiding her; MC needs to have had that roof scene with her and also have DIK affinity. If your playthrough was on neutral it must have been after that moment. The hangout with her in episode 7 is also dependent on having helped her in 6; key scenes in episode 8 are linked back to 6 etc.
You're correct that you can unlock the threesome with Sage and Quinn even if you've been avoiding Quinn completely and have at least neutral affinity - however the build up scenes are different, take account of your past choices and depend on whether Quinn likes MC or not. If you haven't been on her route, she'll say "I don't even like this guy", and there's no scene afterwards with her. She will refuse point black to do anything if you're CHICK.
There are inconsistencies on all the girls' routes related to affinity and choices etc, particularly if a player is doing affinity swings and making contradictory choices, but I think Quinn's path is holding up fairly consistently so far.
We were talking about how DIK is not being important in terms of the paths created in the game.The weed on the roof with Quinn is your "in" for her. If you don't do that, you're off the Quinn path for good. She won't accept your help in the rain, and while she'll still have a threesome with the mc & Sage, it's done to have fun with Sage, not because of the mc; she literally says:
Quinn: "Because I'd fuck the shit out of both of you, and I don't even like this guy."
(But if the mc is a Chick, with M&J or Quinn found out he's with Jill, she'll pass on the threesome too).
Also without the rooftop fuck, all the other Quinn scenes are off the table. No hanging out at the park, not sitting on the bench together outside the HOTs, no sleeping together in Quinn's bed, no chatting to her during the HOTs party.
So I'd say it's a fairly consistent arc with Quinn.
The only way you can completely avoid her and then help her out in the rain is if you've got the walkthrough mod installed, which is one of the reasons DPC forces the game to crash if it's got mods installed (i.e. the mods derail the logic of the game and then people blame him).
I can't vouch for any other shit that the walkthrough enables, but obviously if you've installed the walkthrough, be prepared for inconsistencies in order to experience everything in one play through.
Saying that at the beginning you have to be DIK to have a scene 100%... Does it change the argument in what way?
Does choosing ONE attitude towards DIK change your affinity?
That's it. In the beginning you should be DIK, now not anymore.
You two disagreed with what I said, agreeing with what I said
"Have DIK affinity at the start of the game and then you only need to make one DIK choice."
Those scenes at the beginning of the game aren't tied to the rest of the relationship, so you don't even have to be DIK at all. Keeping a relationship with Girl X spoils the route with Quinn? (As I have already said), change the argument about DIK and CHICK where?
And I also separated that you getting a lot of scenes with her is a different fact than getting a RELATIONSHIP with her.
And yet to tell me that she's tied to affinity more than any other character, when we have characters that literally keep you from moving forward with them if you have the wrong affinity… It was awesome.
But rereading my previous comment I understand the confusion. When I said "DIK choices" I wasn't referring to affinity choices.
