I don't see a conflict here. "my parents are bad at talking about emotional issues" is what, one bad thing about her parents? I assume you can easily find 3-5 bad things that you don't like regarding your parents.

It's very, very far away from "I don't want to be associated with my parents", which pretty much equals hatred.
what does being a dik interlude mean is it the latest version or what?

Whether your MC is a complete cunt is up to you. He is a bit of an over-sensitive snowflake at times, though, whether you want him to be or not. The most 'harm' I remember him doing to any of the girls was spanking them during fun times.

Nah, but you harm a lot of jocks. Lot of BAM! POW! WHACK! stuff. I think the MC wants to be an engineer or something when he gets out of college. Pfft. Dude needs to done a cape and REALLY get the ladies. Until you get cockblocked with a massive, "CHOOSE YOUR BITCH" selection that will narrow the list of options.

Which...at this point...there are so many characters that I can kind of see why they did that. BUT...now you're adding more? So it's like...you picked your preferred romance, but will they prevail over the next 10 or 400 women added to the story?

I honestly question the creator's sanity.

Continuing on the discussion on DPC avoiding showing, or even hinting of any other relationships, do you think we will never see Maya & Josy kiss after you break up with them? Will all LIs stay asexual for the remaining of the story if you decide to stay faithful to your Crossroads choice?

From what I've seen so far that seems to be a high possibility, so I ask the ones that are vehement against this, tell me you at least see that the story is weaker because of it, I don't care what you prefer, as long as you are honest and agree that the story realism goes down the drain and the world seems more mechanic and less lived-in.
I wonder about this as well. I would think we would, just like we peek in on other characters doing shit the MC aint around to see, probably no sex scenes though. Wouldnt surprise me if we get a girl on girl scene with J&M only available to people on that path. Its par for the course of most adult games and it would be something new (outside static renders i mean) to the game for another episode.
Bella is very strange. She takes off the ring when she goes on a date with Tremolo and fucks, but she put it on the morning after sex. She says it's a habit, but she's obviously lying.
Jade never took off her rings during meetings with Tremolo and it's understandable why. She hates and despises her husband, for her sex with Tremolo is an attempt to amuse her ego and humiliate her husband in her eyes.
But not for Bella. For her, loyalty to James is very important. I even think she's pretty religious. She calls herself an adulteress and probably keeps her husband's things in that locked room. She was proud of her loyalty, but everything broke down when MС came into her life. Therefore, for me, the only explanation why she did not take off the ring was that she began to enjoy her depravity and betrayal to her husband, like Jade. Yes, she fucked him this morning with a ring on her finger.
I never thought about the religious aspect but you're right, adultery is more of religous word for someone to use instead of just cheating. Damn, now I want to see Bella in a slutty nun outfit for Halloween. I'm hopeless. BaDIK thoughts always revert back to slutty Halloween. Maybe after ep. 9 Halloween desires will finally be purged from my system.
This is interesting, i never considered the religious thing either. Its an interesting avenue to look at, if she was religious and no longer is after her loss* because i dont remember seeing religious stuff around Bella.

Im just so used to maturer educated women always calling it adulteress/adulterer when its a woman. Imo its more gendered expression and also harsher. Men are instead common cheaters. Its common and more expected and thus easier to forgive. Death, taxes and men cheating, the three things a woman can bet on to always happen kinda sentiment. Women think worse of women that sleep around, especially if they are of a higher social standing as they hold each other to a higher standard than men. Its just not something you do (or get caught doing). "Women are not horndogs unlike men" which is both true and fucking false at the same time. Hence its expected of women they shouldnt fall for such a base desire. Its all a double standard really.

*I still wonder if Bella lost her husband, child or both or if its something else. Loss is definitely how her and Jill found each other and bonded, it just have to be. Some sort of familial trauma.

The description on the thread sounds like it was for a different game. Hahaha.
It's a good game. Graphics as you can see are high quality.
There's no sex though as of now, and the dev would probably finish in 30 years.
But I like the characters and the story.

Nah! The MC is basically a good guy.

Actually, he is what you want him to be within limits. There are a lot of choices that allow you to shape his personality, from a polite, caring person [CHICK], to a frat-boy 'player' [DIK], and points in between.

There are 5 principal, potential LI's and lots and lots of side girls. Your choices and the personality of your MC determine how well and how far you can advance with each.

One thing to know is that it is NOT a harem game and choices have consequences.

As for sex, there is plenty of it. By the end of Episode 8, your MC can have had penetrative sex with each of those 5 LIs and at least a dozen of the side girls, just not in one playthrough. I have 6 separate routes, and I know there are those on this thread who play a lot more.

This game is definitely an experience, and most people who try it like it. It is not without reason that this game is rated so highly.

Yeh, I honestly can Say, that the story is not weaker, neither less realistic because of it.
In fact,what would be more realistic, that you would probably never see Maya and Josy , let alone getting involved in Maya's family problem, after she Rejected you .:p.if you aim for "realism ", this what realism is.

Even Elena pointing this out, you think it's a good idea to stay friend with those who used to date with only to no longer date?. :LOL:.
And " Realistically " you also are not a witness of you ex- sex life. Unless she end up as a pornstar.:LOL:.
so you kind of put yourself in a corner. Because it's actually realistic that you dont see these character personal love life, if you are not witnessing it, while you physically there.

so what should it be? realism or fiction? and then if it's Fiction, then it's waste of resource and development time, to see some lovey dovey scene between characters that you are not interested in. All that takes away time, from seeing your own character wiht the chracter you ARE intrested.

so Yeah I'm honest, and honestly say, the game is not weaker because of it:cool:

While it's interesting viewpoint I'm leaning more toward Bella's mental problems and her seeing James next to her to be exact. As there was a theory that library scene from Bella's past was actually just Bella talking with her imagination (and James is long gone and this point), it does connect with some other points in the story. The scene with MC and Bella in a library and "call for help" is one thing, closed closet is another (maybe in Bella's mind James is phisically present there), and also during the date at Luigi's when Bella goes to the toilet she says to the mirror:
View attachment 1825036

Which obviously is adressed at James, but maybe it's on deeper level, not meaning that James is not present in her life anymore, but that he's not at her side at the moment (could be because of Bella's choice to remove the ring, James stopped appearing next to Bella).
That would mean Bella's fully aware of her mental state and she knows that James is not real (contrary to the flashback library scene), and it would also explain her reluctance regarding removing the ring - she's still torn between her old life and moving forward, and removing the ring could be a symbolic gesture of accepting that James is only a creation of her imagination and letting him go.

Ofc in reality it'll probably end with only a mild drama titled "I can't get over my long gone husband, but with power of your dick I'll overcome my trauma", but since we'll get to this point in a few years there's still time for some crazy theories :D
Why do you assume that James is dead?

If her husband James had died, some people in the BaDIK world would probably know. For example, in EP3, Jade told Stephen when they were arguing that Isabella was in love, of course, because she was married. If Isabella was widowed, that would be in her personnel file and Stephen and probably Jade would know about it.

I assume James is still alive and there was a separation, which could be for many reasons. My personal favorite in this regard is speculative, as DPC has not written anything concrete and has only hinted. A plane crash offers both possibilities without being mutually exclusive. James is missing because his body was not found after the crash. So Isabella doesn't know if James is still alive or not. Her personnel files are not changed. This could be Isabella's dilemma. Does she have her husband declared dead or not? Does she take off her wedding ring for the MC or does she still have hope that a missing James is alive and put her wedding ring back on.

How do I get into a plane crash? In EP8, Derek's paper plane crashes into Isabella. At the dorm party, we see not only pictures of drones on Magnar's right-hand information board, but also a picture of a plane in a storm.

meh, there are already plenty of scenes that we the players see that MC doesnt. flashbacks, the whole interlude, random stuff with Burke leering at his computer, etc.

i dont think its a stronger story when the "relationships" feel totally like they are in title only, Quinn's girls are hookers in title only, and basically everyone in the prime of their youth on a college campus are either girls who are celibate/virginal/lesbian or guys who are disinterested in all the other attractive and rather easy girls around them or are Tybalt levels of pathetic (but man at least he showed interest in the obvious catch that Jill is and took some initiative, as ill-fated and morally questionable as it was).

the game definitely comes off like a harem game, but DPC will never allow that and we know it. so it feels like he just wants to have his cake and eat it too. there doesnt need to be NTR and cheating and cucking and whatever other fetishes are out there, but it could use more fleshed out characters in a game that is completely character driven. IMO it would only strengthen the story and show DPC isnt afraid to tell grown up stories in the adult VN genre
