dalli is hard at work on his own unofficial novelisation of Being A DIK and yeah "it's going to hurt DPC's business"and when you start reading dalli's posts, you learn even more new stuff
you don't even need to play the game
Please! The question is if we'll hit 11,000 pages before Episode 9.
I want us to have the time to enjoy whatever the MC chose before DPC starts lobbing hand grenades.So, like, at what point do you guys and gals think this game is gonna run outta steam?
Irrespective of all the wonderful music, great renders, superb characters, classic comedy, enjoyable dialogue etc. etc., it's really about chasing tail isn't it?
As of episode 8's ending, the chase has ended (unless you're an "others" man - let me hear a "hell yeah!"). So what now? Now we cultivate our relationship, like the delicate flowers growing in Jamie's manly garden? Yeah right...
So whatdya'll think? What are you hoping for from the remainder of the story? If we're only half way through, what's gonna keep your attention? I guess there's a few more bases to get outta Jill, and we've still got some taming to be done with Quinn, and all the LIs haven't given up their backdoors just yet.
But other than that, what's a guy got to look forwards to?
Talk to me brothers and sisters!
Honestly, that's one of my big fears. Temptation sounds great on paper, but it's not going to work well. We just picked our favorite girl; the idea we're going to cheat on her right out of the gate is misguided. We picked our favorite for a reason, and while Zoey is nice she's only going to be a viable threat for a minority of players (especially since she's had much less screen time). The only way we're going to give in to temptation is if we spend enough time with our girl to grow complacent... which then risks boring the audience who now have to skip 'better' content for the sake of the endgame.
I understand that you don't like Zoey or the interlude, but if you leave a little aside both things even so, the episode is called "Vixens", that is, if there was no Zoey as a temptation, there they are, it's not for the "others" route, there you have Nora, who I don't think is exclusive of the "others" route either...Honestly, that's one of my big fears.

That's not to say that effective temptation is impossible, but I don't think it can be *THE* theme of the season. It needs to be kept small scale, a side-dish that looks to spice up the main branches without completely supplanting them. Sure, if we keep pigging out on the sides we'll ruin our appetite, but in moderate doses everything should be fine, right?
Alas, that sort of subtlety isn't exactly DPC's calling card, so I haven't been feeling too enthusiastic since we learned about Zoey's much heralded return.
QuinnOh God

Only Camila is missing and all the girls I like will appear in episode 9
Trust me, I'm aware of the the vixens. I didn't mention Zoey as a way to pick on her. I mentioned her because, while I think she's a lesser threat to our chosen girl(s) than the crossroads was, she is at least *a* threat. She has a history with the MC, and for better or worse we spent a decent amount of time with her in the Interlude. Nora is a buxom one-night stand, and the vixens are complete cyphers. No one is going to think twice picking their waifu over that kind of temptation. Sure, we'll all see what happens when the MC fools around with the latest eye candy, but I doubt many people will go for them on their main saves.
I understand that a large player base (especially Jill's fans) will not even notice if there are temptations along the way, they will just walk right on by. But I have also seen in this thread pages and pages about Carolyn (not you Carolyn ) and we are talking about a character of one or two images, where in one she is in a threesome with two men.
