I think the role Zoey is designed to fill is one the other LI’s can’t. Say your or the Bella path okay Jill might be shocked/ upset but she isn’t going to intervene, Maya and Josy have each other and aren’t likely to find out in the near future, and Sage see’s MC as a bro. On the other hand, if on Maya and Josy path, Bella intellectually understands why they broke up, while Jill is friends with Josy and Sage sees the MC as a bro.

Zoey comes in completely outside that equation. She doesn’t care about the other women, only MC. That will allow her to aggressively pursue MC in a way other characters can’t. I don’t think that will mean we have any more or less choice. I don’t think we’ll have to do anything with Zoey (Other than socialise). She will want MC back, whether the MC goes for it or not is up to him.

Yes, Zoey as the LI who won't take no for an answer is possible, and it's a role that wouldn't really fit any of the main girls (or Quinn, for that matter). But what exactly does that have to do with her being the MC's ex? As the Interlude just established, Zoey was hardly obsessed with the MC back when they were together. She might be more willing to call the MC out on his relationship to his face, but nothing suggests she'd be willing to ignore his wishes and 'make' him get back together.

Any of the 'vixens' could fulfil that role better than Zoey. Sure, they've never had sex with the MC before, but that hasn't stopped half the campus lusting after him, why should it stop them? The only advantage Zoey has over a new 'jezebel' is that the MC would be hesitant to tell her to fuck off and be done with this nonsense. Which brings us back to DPC overriding our choices to force the drama. No thanks.

Plus, I think it would be something of a waste to treat Zoey that way. I'm not keen on the Interlude, but it shows she's capable of more than being an evil ex.

Is it really an extra if it was planned at the start? DPC doesn't write as he goes like most devs. The entire story from beginning to end was already written or at least storyboarded before starting BaDIK. So, nothing is really being added on the fly.

even if true, that doesnt mean his overall story or various parts of its implementation/execution cant be flawed on their own just because "he planned it out already". there will always be weak spots in this story: the first majority agreed upon one was the M/J "break up" fiasco, and this Zoey Interlude appears to be the second majority agreed upon weak spot

people's opinions will differ so if you are okay with it that is more than fine, but many people arent and that should be an equally acceptable viewpoint IMO

Of course, the sense of time of DPC is specific. During two month MC:
* fucked almost all hot girls of college
* had 4 threesomes( Quinn/Riona, Quinn/Sage, Riona/Camilfa, Envy/Sandy)
*fucked two hot teachers!
*joined a fraternity
*the mansion was destroyed and participated in its restoration
*started dating the hottest girls on campus
*practically destroyed the brotherhood of jocks
*participated in fights, drank like a pig and smoked weed
Yes, almost every day MС fights off fans and fucks someone's hot ass!

Download the Interlude installer - torrent some pages back by a poster named Thrway.
Install the interlude in a different location than your base BaD install.
Launch the beingadik.exe file in the Interlude install location and this will launch the game.
Click on the "Import" button in the upper left corner and it should auto-detect any Season 1/2 saves you already have so that you can import them.
After the import, go into the Load screen to load the game up and you're ready to go.

hey man, so I followed all your steps (including trying different locations to extract the files) but I don't see any saves at all on the Import page. Am I doing something wrong? Can you simply copy the save files from the last game?

Idk if this is relevant but I have 0.8 from last year.

I don't think you can copy them as I tried that initially and it didn't work. It wasn't until I clicked on the import button in the interlude that I was able to have it detect my saves and then import them. Once they were imported I was able to play the game.

You're fine with v0.8 - I was running the same version initially when I played the Interlude (and I have since updated to v0.8.2 just to make sure I have all the bugfixes for future playthroughs).

In v0.8 there are 2 separate save areas: the normal one where you probably have multiple pages of saves, and one that you only get to at the end of the episode where you are given a chance to save your path to use in future updates, i.e. the Interlude. Did you go through that step? If you did, then downloading the Interlude into a separate folder and selecting Import on starting should bring up your saves. The only thing that would prevent that would be if you deleted saves from both places where they are stored. Downloading over v0.8 would probably delete the first save area, but getting rid of the second area would involve an overt act, and knowing where it is.

Hmm that's weird because I tried that. And my Import is all empty. 1.png 2.png

Great catch dude. This worked, I can see the saves now. Idk how I missed it, probably because it's been a while.
Thanks
