VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

[PashafromRussia]

There are 3 (4 if you also consider the couple Dawe and Big A) purely comic characters in BADIK and for me Derek is the worst of the 3.

3 is a lot...

We need to look at the problem more broadly. There are no interesting male characters in the game at all. As a reader, I am interested in only two male characters - Tommy and Burke. They are self-sufficient and contradictory, while others are simply tools for creating the right atmosphere.
Burke is generally the best character in the game for me. He is afraid of his wife, allows himself to be humiliated, tries to grotesquely court Bella. But at the same time, he covers up prostitution and drug dealing in college. How could such a cowardly and pathetic person decide to do such a thing?
Tommy is also interesting for his contradictory character. He cares about his brothers and is determined, but at the same time he indulges his weaknesses (drugs and women) and falls to the bottom. How low can he fall and how will he rise?

I bet you can find hater for every single character here (well maybe not Derek).
Move along? I can reply to whatever post i want, doesn't matter if I am Maya hater or not.

I find Derek very annoying, So let’s get into pro and anti Derek camps and argue about it for days.

I mean this game could have 4-5 seasons. The only problem is 1 episode is released every 6 months, that would take 2 years for DPC complete a whole season. I am gonna get old, have a wife and kids and quit playing this game if it keep going like that. I will never see the end of it, that is the sad part.

Look at it this way. Each release of a new episode is the main event of the year, the maximum hype. No other game has attracted as much attention since the release of a regular episode as this one. If he wanted this initially, then I can only applaud him. He's a great marketer.

Imo, dozens and dozens of thread pages later still no one has beaten this gem right here. This one I can't get over. It's insulting (TO THE HOT's) that a decent girl like Maya puts on the uniform of a sorority made up mostly of whores and drug dealers...
I actually like that Maya only considered joining Quinn's band of degenerates for a chance at free tuition.

So you are agreeing with me that Maya doesn't belong in the HOTs?

 

[Jimayo]

In the story we have 5 people who know about Maya's problem. She, Josy, Derek, Sage and the MC, none of them talk about this solution. No one is suggesting that Maya find a job.

No, the people saying get a job are the dumb ones. You haven't been able to pay your way through uni with a part time job since like the 70's. Are there so many people on this board that are that out of touch?

I definitely agree with you there.

Maya belongs to the MC in the mansion's library.

I don't know why people want to compare this game to real life

What a " wonderful " life

Sounds like a facepalm material.

Because it certainly is...

 

[Olsens.M]

In the story we have 5 people who know about Maya's problem. She, Josy, Derek, Sage and the MC, none of them talk about this solution. No one is suggesting that Maya find a job.

Why ?

1. They're all dumb, or if you want to be nice to them, no one has thought about it. 5 people, two of whom have worked all summer to make pocket money, it seems unlikely that nobody will think about it. It's not like it's a great idea, I think the majority of players have thought of it. I do not see how DPC could manage to explain that no one has thought of it.

2. The other possible answer is what? That in the universe created by DPC for its game, a part-time job is not enough to pay for tuition in this college. So that's why no one suggests this solution.

3. Maya is a big lazy bitch, and moreover a master of manipulation who manages to ensure that none of those aware of her problem suggest this solution to her.


I don't have the answer. We will have it later in the story. In the meantime, I retain the solution which for me (it's totally subjective) is the simplest / logical, that is to say the 2.

As I said many times. "THIS IS HOW DPC WROTE MAYA'S CHARACTER AND STORY". The Job was MY solution. NO ONE (in game) will suggest that, It won't be worth it, because DPC decided it when he wrote her story. I think you guys have a hard time understanding what I am saying. I am giving arguments on why I think Maya's story and personality was bad written by DPC (IN MY OPINON) - IN MY POINY OF VIEW - or even if She wasn't bad written, those are the reasons why I DON'T LIKE HER. You guys are going to argument, but it won't change. He wrote her character and didnt give her anything to help herself to get out of this situation, other than whining, blame her Dad and everyone else for not accepting who she is. Doesn't matter if you like the way she sits on your big, narvelous DICK. She is everything I said, she complains about people not accepting her being lesbian, but she doesn't accept other people's way of living and sexual choices either. She is very Judgy. If you stop to think about it. She is just like her father.
So doesn't matter the way you argument to try and discredit whatever I say, it won't change. DPC didn't give her any tools to get away of her situation other than people try and solve her situation. And that, on my point of view, makes her character pretty weak and that is a turn off to me. I rather be with the girl who is into illegal stuff. We will both go to jail together. But she is a lot more fun than Maya. Deal with it.

People will cry in this forum for me keep going with this discussion about Maya. But if you keep bringing arguments, I will keep replying . So, give up people.

It's a matter of will a person just sit and feel sorry for themselves or will they do anything positive. Will they make an effort or will they wait to be rescued?

That's just stupid. Making a pointless effort is the same as making none at all, you're suggesting putting a lot of time and effort into something that will not solve the problem. That's stupid. Flailing around uselessly is pointless. She'd be better off trying to win the lottery. Her odds are better.

 

[AchedCroissant]

Yeah, Quinn didn't add any more text for me either.

Because I see your avatar, I'm curious if there will be an ending with Josy, Maya and Zoey. That would be awesome too.

Theory:
The MC can choose to have a relationship like Elena/John or Heather/Tommy. If I as a player choose the Elena/John relationship model for my MC and go the romance group route, I consider Josy and Maya as a LI. I wonder if they both act like an Elena. So invite another girl every now and then?

I don't know, my hopes have always been with Nicole but I also like your idea

 

[Darkdevil66]

Quinn in my mind is MG status, if we look in game, not the walkthrough or any other unofficial bullshit, but strictly in the game, what always separated the main girls from the others is that they had a post episode slide dedicated to them, well now, Quinn has one, therefore Main Girl. And not just A main girl but The Main Girl.

Made me think...

I was one of the sceptic... I had a big good surprise

 

[Ilhares]

What a hater you are, judging me by my avatar.. Shame on you.

I know, right? I mean, it's almost like mine would suggest I like my women a little too hot.

Every Maya fan is a Quinn hater. Maybe they think bullying a fictional girl on a porn site will make Maya fall in love with them.

I don't hate Quinn or Maya as people. In-game, I prefer Maya's behavior to Quinn's, but I prefer Quinn's looks. When Quinn doesn't have makeup on, she looks OK.

When doesn't Maya have makeup on? Every single render I can remember of her it looks like she's caked under foundation, and usually eyeliner. That's less appealing to me. She's still a much nicer person than Q, to be sure.

Well its a fact that Maya is by far the least popular main girl of Being a DIK

The polls do support this, generally.

Can you get Jill on the DIK path ? Cause that recital scene just makes me fall for her every time.

No. Neutral or Chick only.

He sees a threesome with any character in the game, he already wants one with Zoey

If he mentions to all the girls one or the other, he will have to hit the mark

 

[inevitableandinfinity8]

I think exactly the same, it's perfect opportunity for her path to be awesome.
But I also think that there might be a little "fight" between mc and Tommy because it's obvious that he likes her.

Quinn belong to mc, tommy can fuck his own ass !

Btw quinn already don't give a fuck because she already show him front door in c7 and in C8, for mc and quinn it's her accepting that she has fallen for mc.

All her argument with mc about couple showing affection in public gone where. .
She doing that same thing with mc and when she put her head down on mc shoulder basically she is saying : All right i accept i am fallen for you.

 

[inevitableandinfinity8]

I'd rather eat the condom than touch her

I hope you enjoyed derek condom

I think that is what to expect, Neither do maya use her brain nor does her fans !

the male characters are on average worse than the female ones, both because they are aesthetically "arranged", with a lot of apparent kinship, then because they must absolutely be sexually harmless, in no way competitive with MC at all, at the end of the day in a porn game this is how it works.

the so-called "charismatic bass player" is deeply missing, that is to say that sidekick of the protagonist who could potentially replace him even being a secondary character for the charisma of his character

in theory it could have been Jacob, but from the Hots he made an epic impression...

for Lostanddamned it could be Magnar, but only for him...

about Tommy I agree, but Burke no, he's another ridiculous bad guy

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

And yes I would like a threesome with Zoey at some point, but I'm not sure I'd predict one happening, she needs to be introduced and we need more about who she is, we know nothing.

I'm currently predicting Jill and Josy has the next big threesome to happen.
