Can someone tell me where to find Water Balloons during a party? Quest: help get revenge on Derek.

It's not water balloons but it's condoms. You can find them in the messy room with the bunk beds on the floor. Bottom left of the scene.

I don't think it's a problem that there are no strong villains right now.

The most present "villain" is Tybalt, but there can be no doubt he is, as you said, presented as the buffoon.

While Tybalt may have made life a little difficult for the mc, every one of his scenes is more focused on laughing at him than anything else. The music is perpetually foolish whenever he is on the scene, his dialogue is clueless, his goals are fruitless.

The blackmail scene, while it riled a few people up here, was a big joke. He sat there slobbering away on his watermelon (not the watermelon, mind you), and even offered it to Jill.

The entire joke of the watermelon, Jill's underwear and the photo cannot possibly be taken seriously; he's meant to be an idiot.

He's missed every social cue from Jill, and he's oblivious that the other preps are even venting their disdain for him to the very man he despises (the mc himself!)

The resolution to his big evil blackmail was for Jill to simply stand up to him, tell him exactly how she felt, and he was left in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery forever.

I don't really need Tybalt to evolve into anything more.

Onto the other main "villain" who is not lurking in the shadows - Maya's dad, Patrick.

Patrick isn't important. He is simply Maya's foil to present her struggles in life. If not her dad, then society would be judging and restricting her.

While we may have discussed otherwise on this board, within the game there has been no mention of trying to reason with the dad. The solution is always Maya circumventing him, in which case, he as a person is of no importance, it's only Maya's solution that matters, which is fine, because the game wants to focus on Maya, not her dad.

Do we need a happily ever after moment with Maya and her dad, where he grows into a person and ceases to be a blatant stereotype? I don't think so. I would prefer that effort be reserved and spent on something like a scene with Maya blowing the mc while Josy gives him a rim job. Now that's a happy ending...

Now it hasn't been established yet that Burke is a threat to the mc, but he is hated among this thread, probably because he is married to Jade, neglects her and looks elsewhere for sex.

His involvement in the nefarious college activities (namely Quinn's restaurant) also puts him out there as a potential bad dude, but already, the mc is fucking his wife.

Burke is established as a week, beaten down character, married to a much stronger force, Jade. He grovels to his wife as she belittles him for his lack of personal achievement in life, strikes out consistently with Bella and is basically an embarrassment; the mc is already fucking his wife!

He is not "The Villain" of this game, but he may become a hindrance at some point in time.

Now Chad was a villain for only moments and has already fizzled out once his title of the Alpha President was taken from him.

Chad was then replaced in the villain department by Dawe who has already been emasculated by pretty much every DIK in the game, and can only assert his dominance by sucker punching people (Tommy, Jamie & the mc).

Dawe is literally so stupid even his moronic girlfriend Arieth can destroy him on Rooster. He is mostly set up to be mocked.

Once again, while he can be a pain in the ass, Dawe is not to be taken seriously.

So it is still possible we have one major villain hiding in the shadows, namely Vinny, and the last look we had of him, selling drugs to Tommy, makes him look quite serious. Has he been causing strife in the background, manipulating things and misdirecting the blame? Time will tell, but that's exactly what I expect.

My feeling is, up until now we didn't need a compelling villain, so these cartoon caricatures have served as entertaining fodder for the mc to cuck (Burke), humiliate (Dawe with everything that is said and done to him), and ultimately witness the destruction of (Tybaly when Jill unleashes).

We are only at the half way mark, it's mostly been about the MC and his friends. The dramas along the way exist to showcase the main characters, and to give us a feel for who the mc is.

I'm not sure if DPC is capable (given his choice of narrative style) of propelling this game into something more thrilling for the second half, or if we'll just continue to deal with bite sized conflicts, and the mc and his friends will graduate mostly unscathed.

But now, as we move into the second half, after the mc has made his choice as to who he wants to get serious with, the game is likely to take turn in a more serious direction. More serious relationship with his chosen girl. More serious drama when Vinnie steps up his game. And more serious stakes to make the story more compelling.

It just all makes for a shallow game and an increasingly boring story. I just tried to do another playthru so that I could explore some content. I didn't make it all the way through ep4, I just got bored and quit.

Episode 4 has to much lesbian content. Just need Pink Rose, HOT movie night and threesome.

I agree with you on pretty much every point you've made. However, I don't think we've seen the last of Villian Tybalt. Especially once he finds out that MC not only stole the object of his undying affections, but fucked his mom AND his sister (if you're on their paths). I really suspect he's going to put on his big boy dry-clean only suit (that daddy paid for) and make good on his threats of pressing charges against MC.
If it happens, it would probably fizzle out like Chad's story did because there's no proof of fire, no assault (if you didn't punch him) and also, his own frat-mates have made a truce with MC and Derek. I also see an ally in Lucas in dealing with the (possible) future altercations with Tybalt.
I agree completely with you on your Vinny theories though. If there wasn't a future story for him, he wouldn't even be mentioned in the game anymore except by Nick. The fact that he still gets screen-time screams his relevance to the story. He will be the arch-enemy of the MC. I think this will come to pass in the "Others" path with Quinn, maybe Zoey (depending on who she used to get alcohol from when she was still "dating" MC) and possibly the Sage path by way of Quinn. Of course, it could also be brought to the surface by Tommy. I also am extremely suspicious of Nick.
Nick is an enigma. He's so quiet, and isolated. He usually only speaks when he's spoken to and there's something about his character that makes me feel like there's more to him than what we see on the surface.
Also, depending on whether or not the stalker of Ri-Ri was really just an obsessed guy, there's a possibility of yet another antagonist emerging from her scenes.

My guess is that this mysterious brunette girl has something to do with the cheating left in the bathroom during the midterm exam. This would provide a motive for her to approach the main character in a future episode.

More serious relationship with his chosen girl. More serious drama when Vinnie steps up his game. And more serious stakes to make the story more compelling.

Nice analysis.

The MC's antagonists are effectively either ridiculous (Tybalt and Burke, or Dawe), or it's only about a small portion of the story (Maya's father), or the rivalry fades (Chad).

And anyway it's not necessary to have a big villain in the story.

But we can also tell ourselves that the bad guy is mistreated (or treated differently) by the story to make him more discreet. Stephen Burke would be a good candidate for this role in this case. Or Quinn, at the start of the game, she is the one we perceive as antagonist, then it settles down a bit, and above all we have a sentimental rapprochement, which is perfect for distracting the player from Quinn (like major villain).

Or the real villain of the game is the MC. Unintentionally at the moment, but it's the MC / player's actions that do the damage. We decide to sleep with Jade, we then decide to tell the DIK, it goes back to the husband, and it is Maya who will suffer the consequences.

All drama in the game, the MC is involved but indirectly. Apart from being a customer of the restaurant, the rest affects relatives but not him directly.

Aside from being a fuckslut too...

Exactly. We can have concerns that one-night stands will multiply with the many new female characters that have been added recently: Nora, Penny, Micha, Sally... even though the main character has to prove fidelity to the chosen girlfriend (if so).

I don't really get the word " concerned " here coz if you made your choice from the get go played the game accordingly and continue to do so there is no need for worries... but if you did not then your whole game is a mix-up already so why worry now ?

 

[TomUK]

I just had a thought going back to the positive pregnancy test, didn't Sage ask the MC to buy some for her a little while back 'for the sorority', I can't remember if she used one and told him it was a negative, what if she used the second one, I mean they were fuck buddy's.

Because.... you can play the game like you want it to... so you are not necessarily fuck buddies...

 

[PashafromRussia]

Hint! Whatever choice, it will have a huge impact on the story that follows. The choice you make will be referred to as being on someone’s branch from here on. For example, the branches are referred to as: Josy’s and Maya’s branch, Jill’s branch, Isabella’s branch, Sage’s branch, and others’ branch.

These are just my conjectures and they may well be untrue. These are my feelings and it seems quite logical to me that the game will develop this way. At the end of episode 2, DPC clearly and clearly divided the paths of the main girls, isolating us from others. We saw some outlines in episode 8. For example, on Sage's way, with Dik's high level, we might not meet Jill's parents or have a fun date with Maya or Josie. It's obvious.
Each of the girls has its own full-fledged branch with exclusive content. All this + saves with the name of the path of a particular girl leads me to the idea that DPC plans to divide the season into episodes dedicated to each main girl. It is clear that each love interest will have its own storyline and its own exclusive side girls. This is similar to Japanese visual novels (for example, eroge Fate/Stay Night) in which there are three archs, where each of the girls has its own storyline and different endings.
Most likely we won't have 6 chapters. Some of the girls' paths will intersect. For example, the ways of Sage and Maya/Josie will be strongly connected now due to the fact that Sage became friends with Maya and decided to help them. Bella and Jill have always been friends and even after breaking up with MC, they will be at the center of the plot. The third chapter may be devoted entirely to Others, and the season finale may be a long-awaited Halloween party where the paths of all the girls will converge.
Either (which seems likely to me) DPC can divide episode 9 into several acts dedicated to individual girls and release separately, for example, once every 3 months. This will significantly increase loyalty, but will increase development time.

 

[horusxcaen82]

my reaction seeing all the Zoey converts appearing :

 

[wakkawalla]

have any of the girls mc can fuck been shown fucking another guy? none right? otherwise all the paypig snowflakes would have meltdowns. i don't think we'll get a shot at emo the cock swallower (or the seafood buffet).

 

[Ilhares]

Why were Jill's parents not at her recital? An alleged huge moment for her and they were not there? Jill invited her established friends she has had for years, all her library friends and MC.

A plot mistake in writing or is there a plot path here?

No, you're just a little blind, don't worry. Jill's mother was there, just not in the front row.

I'm confused. It sounds like you're saying we cum inside Maya, but we have not yet cum inside Maya. That has not happened. I would remember if we had because she's my favorite LI and this would cause me to lose my shit.

Brother, you should replay the Dorm Party.... there's definitely an option to cum inside Maya.

Indeed, very disappointed the gallery replay doesn't have the option, but then, it's not an option. Either she'll let you and you do, or she won't and you don't. You aren't given an option to pull out if she's willing, so this is another one we can write off as a potential pregnancy trigger with her. DPC likes to let you hang yourself with your decisions.

Look, I've loved Zoey since she was introduced, but this pic reminds me of the one problem I had with Melissa.

Shape the hair if you want, but get rid of that godawful blocky makeup nonsense.

You know, Dalli, I'm a little disappointed in you. You often come at us with those arse-sourced wild theories, but not once did you suggest that this chick might be MC's half-sister. Neil could have been whoring around, too. Look at her. She's whoring it up like MC does, she's dealing with the same scum that MC does, just moving in slightly mis-aligned circles. C'mon, man, spin us a good one.
edit: I mean look at her: we see her in a threesome first, with a blonde and a brunette.

He's not going to spend the next 3 years building up the Halloween party, nor are updates going to be girl focused, nobody wants that shit and it's a horrible way to tell your story.

Based on my theory, every love interest can have a pregnancy problem. If you are on her way and, accordingly, she is pregnant with your child.
