People can like Quinn or not, find her interesting and think her character has depth or not, but no one can convince me she is playing 4D chess. She regularly misjudges people and if it wasn't for the sake of upholding her plotline, her cardhouse could've (or should've) collapsed multiple times by now.
the issue is that every girl's narrative is flimsy and weak if you take more than a cursory glance at it. Quinn isn't the exception to the rule, she merely is the rule of DPC's drama factory. The blackmail with Jill is cringe as hell and makes no sense that she cant just tell Tybalt to fuck off, Maya's finance situation makes zero sense if examined logically, Sage's relationship with Chad and the accompanying drama makes little sense if they have been together for years and don't do anything intimate ever, etc. I could almost argue that Bella's mysterious issues are the presented the best so far, but that's only because we literally know nothing about them yet lol. As soon as DPC reveals the "true" reasons, they will likely be just as weak and full of holes as the others.

everyone's plotline is upheld merely for the sake of the dramatic/twist filled story DPC wants to tell

I very much agree with you on this, in fact honestly although I like the game I don't find any real "Waifu"

I like Sage a lot as a character, I consider her one of the most complex, but the "rebound guy" parenthesis is lame, and the twist of the parents really botched

Aesthetically I like Bella very much and after Sage she is the one with the sweetest moments, but her friendship with Jill is terrible, she is the worst friend imaginable

about Jill I like the maturity and moral compass, but even leaving aside Tybalt's blackmail (worst story arc in the game so far), her "prima donna" attitude is quite tiresome.

Maya has a good, consistent character, it's just that this loan story, besides being quite "fanciful" is too predominant, practically the whole first part of their interactions is dominated by the loan dictat.... i think is a bit too much

Josy's story is limited to the first two chapters, from there on she is a secondary girl, with more scenes, some excellent, but a decidedly less interesting story than Quinn, Riona, Nicole, Lily etc...

which is not flattering for the latter and leads me to believe that the President is turning a blind eye on purpose.
I honestly don't know why people keep believing this. I don't know how much more clearer the game needs to drive the point home that Sage is completely oblivious to every shady thing Quinn is doing. She's made out to be this intelligent, clever and charismatic leader but is apparently quite gullible with regards to the most shady person in her sorority who she's known for a while :rolleyes:

Now imagine if I had played all the playthroughs. Shit, I don't even want to imagine that.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Joke asides, what's stopping you ? It's not just about lewd scenes, you're missing a shitload of information, meaningful discussions and character development not only with Sage, Jill & Bella but also with the most important side girls like Quinn, Riona, Lily, Jade, Cathy...

Since you like analyzing renders, scenes and quotes, you should consider playing alternate paths. ( Of course, you can totally skip any scenes involving the Madame. There's nothing to learn except for new ways to puke. ).

Ye, never said hers was the only line with holes or contrivances. How serious you weight each of them is individually different I guess. I personally don't really care about your examples, esp not about the relationship between Chad and Sage. Saying to Quinn "I don't pay for sex" and then not mentioning that to Maya of all people is, imo, on a completely different level. After 8 episodes, I've made peace with it, though.
Anyway, my main point wasn't really holes per se, but rather calling Quinn 'genius' or 'puppetmaster', when imo it's mostly plot working in her favour.

This is the reason why I play BaDIK this way, because I think Josy and Maya are the most suitable LIs for my MC. Josy and Maya are cute, have the same age and I think the MC met Josy and Maya naturally. They all three have past lives. The three of them decide together to try a three-way relationship, but logically don't know how to grow together. Perfectly Normal. Maya's tutoring problem will not correspond to reality, but it implies that a young girl has problems and she tries, albeit naively, to solve this problem and eventually realizes that she needs help. Perfectly normal. The path of the three-way relationship is paved with more or less problems that all three have to overcome. Out of this, a good relationship then develops. Some will know the saying. "In good times as well as bad" is the feeling that Josy and Maya give me as a player of the MC. Also, I don't want to play BaDIK as a porn VN and chase every girl.:unsure:

I see BaDIK as an adult game with intimate content.:D(y)

Quinn deals drugs and sells her services just a few feet from Sage's room. Also a third of the HOT sorority is part of Quinn's restaurant.

It's an inconsistency to me when people live in the same house seven days a week but one doesn't question what the others are doing while it is actually her job. I understand that it eases the narrative like the main character not knowing that Tybalt is Sage's brother. But my suspension of disbelief is shot.

I guess DPC needs Sage to be dumb and oblivious so that she can find out later, it doesn't make a lot sense considering they all live under the same roof but whatever.

The tragedy of Josie is that she is completely in Maya's shadow, which makes me think that M/J is completely uninteresting to DPC. More attention is paid to Quinn as a character (it feels like), and Josie is perceived more as a side girl, rather than as the main one. MC has more chemistry and mutual understanding with Maya, Josie looks like a girl who managed to jump on the last car. I guess Zoya will be the second Josie in this regard.

Or is it her luck?

I disagree that there is more understanding with Maya, Maya is a more credible friend than Josy, but simply because Josy is described with a nymphomaniac--"hard" to be friends with a nymphomaniac :ROFLMAO: .

Maya gives Josy a role that she otherwise would not have, a role that DPC has never committed to giving her

Quinn absolutely wants the HOTs to accept the Preps assignment, Sage would not like to but gives in, asks her to warn Tommy, Quinn does not, this almost irretrievably compromises relations with the DIKs: consequences? none.

Sage asks Quinn to fill in for her on the closing night of the scavenger hunt, two freshmen (one Sage's goddaughter and the other Quinn's) despite winning go missing, one of the two Sage knows had problems with Quinn: consequences? none.

Sage asks Quinn to go to Maya to try to convince her to return from the HOTs, Maya tells her how Quinn actually did nothing but insult her. consequences? none.

Sage decides to entrust the Halloween party to Quinn and in the event also offers her a ride on her boyfriend's

now, at first there was the alibi of the head crowded with doubts related to Chad but now? those who forget are accomplices

It's just weed. Quinn is not some kind of Scarface or Heisenberg. :ROFLMAO:.
she is actually an extremely small fish, the worst can happen to her is police scare her enough, to give up her suppliers.
It's definitely more than just weed. There was the addition of cocaine for the preps, and whatever was in that syringe she was shooting up with Tommy back in the early episodes. Despite terrible comics like Chick Tracts I'm pretty sure nobody "shoots up just 1 marijuana". ;)

that was kind of "retconned". by DPC.
Quinn is just a weed seller, and in the first time she brought some cocaine, what she was not able to sell, in the end. so she "just " selling "light" drugs.
