I think the new characters will only be interesting to players on the path of Others. After all, the main players will follow the path of the main girls and build relationships with them. And new girls will be interesting only for huge diks.

I think you nailed this one.
However, this does not invalidate (for me anyway) my point of any new characters representing some boredom and bogging down a bloated beast. The end is nearer for every new mega project he starts, because he already has too much to do.
Peace

I understood what you mean. You don't like the genre change in the second season. Well, this is subjective and depends on the taste of each individual. In my opinion, a change in the plot direction is necessary and important. Look, the first season was a lot of fun - an American Pie-type comedy. Hell week, pranks, laughter. If things continued like this, we'd end up with endless American Pie sequels and it's... boring. Several seasons are the same, like chewing the same gum many times. Have you heard that the last parts of American Pie were successful? Exactly. People remember the first part the most, which is gold.
The drama and melancholy in the second season brings the characters to life. Maya, Jill, Sage... - I haven't empathized with a game NPC in a long time. This gave the project a fresh breath, allowed to look from the other side. That in addition to wild fun, there is also a dark side. A change of scenery is important for such a big project. The creator did not forget about the fun, it is worth remembering the sabotage in the snob house, Tybalt's cock, the fun in the nursing home, for example. A perfect balance between drama and comedy and I gave the second season a well-deserved 10/10.
This is not Acting Lessons, the dev has mentioned this many times. Don't worry, the college won't burn down at the end of the game. But the consequences of the decisions taken will be, otherwise the DPC would not be itself. In my opinion, the consequences are important for the creation of a living world, if you do not want to get Fallout 4 or ME Andromeda in the end. Because we are playing an RPG game. And that insanely cool cliffhanger at the end keeps you looking forward to Episode 9. The return of Zoya is a very good plot twist that will bring freshness to the project. How it sparked discussion: People are arguing hundreds of comments about the need to add her to the story. I am very interested in how the drama will develop in this triangle between MC, the girl you chose (if you chose) and Zoe. In any case, I will reserve a separate walkthrough for her.
That's was my point of view. Speaking for others, for the gaming community - as I said, the second season received 96% in Steam. The vast majority believe that the second season is not worse than the first.

Wow this episode will be a short one for some of us who are only playing one path (Bella my case) and are not curious to play the other 6000 or whatever paths, this is the big problem with this game from now on, if till now you could play the manwhore route and have a lot of content from now on is over, so long update waits for minimal content...
I hope Kylie is one of the 70+ characters DPC is talking about

I mean, you *can*, but you'd better be prepared for the teller to call security.
Errr, we already know the MC is in Sage's house no matter our path. He's even shitting himself over sleeping with Jade regardless of whether he actually did so.
I'm loathe to be overly critical of DPC's lengthy development time because in general I'm always willing to trade quantity to get more quality. But I must admit I have severe doubts as to whether DPC is really adding quality right now. Prior to Episode 8 I would have been very enthusiastic about needing 5 playthroughs to see everything, as that was my preferred playstyle. But after the disastrous crossroads, I'm just not sure anymore. What good is having distinct branches if those branches come at the price of excluding the differences I really care about?
Is the Maya/Josy branch really going to focus on the MC building a relationship with both girls? Will he actually prioritize solving Maya's problems in a way that might limit the time he has to party (compared to an Others route)? Nothing DPC has done in Episode 8 (much less the Interlude) indicates that's going to happen. I think the MC will remain as aimless as he's always been, just now he'll mope about Zoey from time to time. Oh, and the camera will pan around him slightly while doing so.
This is why I wish we'd skipped the damn Interlude, because I really have no idea how DPC intends to handle the next part of his story and I would much prefer to learn that than to delve deeply into Zoey's backstory. It's tough waiting half a year for content when you're enthusiastic for it, but it's much harder when you're lukewarm on it. Sadly, no such luck.
DPC has an impressive work ethic and he definitely has skill as an artist; any aspiring developer could learn a lot from him on those fronts. But I disagree that he does a good job weighing the benefits of an animation against the time they require.
The Interlude was, IMHO, filled with extraneous animations that did nothing to add characterization or atmosphere. They were the equivalent of shoving objects at the camera in a 3D movie just to prove you could. Likewise, DPC could use a trusted editor. Take Madame for instance (please!). As much as I give her flak, I do appreciate the idea behind her; she adds something to game world. It's just that the marginal benefit she brings cannot be justified given the time he's devoted to her. She should have been sacrificed for the greater good, but she wasn't. And the more that keeps happening, the harder it will be to finally clear the decks on focus on telling the story, which means the strength to weight ratio of the episodes will continue to suffer until we hit a breaking point.
Sorry to be all negativity this morning, I'm just a bit frustrated.
I think the frustration both of you are expressing is fair. Its really hard to see when things get too big to handle and I totally understand why many people think DPC is at or soon approaching that limit.
The game is really big as it is imo. Is it too much for one person in a reasonable time frame? Yes.
Too much for DPC? No idea. Maybe? His track record is still good I think.
Itll never happen but give sidegirl scenes that doesnt have core story interaction to someone else to offload work? Kind of like Madame, Nora, some of the Pink Rose girls etc? That way time and energy could be saved to improve and tighten up the core stories while also keeping the expanded scope of the game going, which is a reason why so many people like the game. People love new things and new things sells. Hence the Vixens, that will add even more complexity. Those could be offloaded as well after their debut after this ep or two, or season, when the novelty have run out. None of the side characters have been dropped of the edge of the world yet. Mona would be the exception to confirm the rule atm but its not set in stone either, could come back to drag shit into the light somehow, who knows?
Girls girls girls galore and the upkeep keeps growing. Its probably ok for now but how long will it last?
yes yes yes this is all so accurate. Through reading here in this forum ive finally figured out why Chad and Sage story never felt really compelling to me, I now think its the comparative weakness in the story compared to other LIs, lets pick Jills story since i heavily dislike her for trope reasons. Jill is annoying but her story is still more coherent to me. Sage is a great girl but the story beats doesnt land for me.
Emma Bret didnt mean much at all to me, positive to slightly below on those parts, wasnt convinced. But also not entirely let down by their thing as major influence on Zoey despite it was written that way. That Bret was a decent person and to me he came across as "theres something here-it might lead to romance or friendship-let it develop into whatever it was meant to be" in regards to Zoey and I liked that, quite mature. (If i decided Bret was going after Zoey it felt like he was leaning towards it, If I decided he only wanted friendship it all read like a friend to me) Zoey grew from that interaction and that aspect was very well crafted imo. Emma wasnt nearly as well made.
That sucks man. Sadly for you they are here to stay.I hate tattoos. Can't you avoid it in Interlude?
Strangely the tats on Emma were fine and Zoeys doesnt bother me at all, while i am usually bothered by Sandys, and roughly half of the scenes with Melanie. I dont know why but tats in games almost always feels off to me. Probably a lightning/shadow thing or perspective thing with stuff that pasted ontop of skin.

This is an interesting point because if hitherto the protagonist could keep an ambivalence between fidelity and libertinism, the fact of engaging in a serious relationship does not still exclude philandering.
This subject has given birth to many works, from Dangerous Liaisons (adapted in a teen version Cruel Intentions) to Stanley Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.
I don't know what the script of Being a DIK will bring us, but the theme of cheating could provide writing material in the future. Although Sage doesn't deserve to be fooled twice in a row...

Well, we did already have a chance to leave a first impression, no?I hope Kylie is one of the 70+ characters DPC is talking about
My only reason why I decided to take the path of the goblin princess Jill is to fuck with other girls behind her back (especially with Bianca, even though she constantly uses methamphetamine judging by her face).
But on the other hand, the Chick player will not be able to physically cheating of his goblingirl.
We remember how this moron refused a threesome with Sandy and Envy just by looking at the goblin photo. Apparently he felt his penis shrink, and with it his libido. Otherwise, his escape from two hot strippers cannot be explained otherwise.

Calling Sandy hot, the methamphetamine you must be on is clearly working.We remember how this moron refused a threesome with Sandy and Envy just by looking at the goblin photo.
This..whatever she's supposed to be is the reason I never did the threesome, no matter how much I like Nicole. Between the goblin virgin princess Jill and the tattooed orc Sandy, I will always choose Sandy. She never fucked my brains out with her goblin fairy tales about fateCalling Sandy hot, the methamphetamine you must be on is clearly working.
