Don't worry, most people I know use alpha-beta because they don't know about the other ones. But I love psychology, and I think DPC may actually develop his characters on actual psychological traits, wouldn't surprise me if he used the '16 personality types' for them.
Try the third game listed in my signature. There are a lot of topics related to psychology.:)

my first time playing this game I took 1 to 2 days. And it was only 1 route. Then I played again for another different route. Then another, then I started using dev console, walkthroughs to get the full completion and understanding of everything in the game. To play this game in full, you gonna take at least a week. And this was the only VN ever that I replayed even the route I chose as main one to try and make it better and everytime it feels fun. Not like other games where I wouldn't bother to replay them even if I don't like the route I am in lol

This is why when I see people comparing BAD to other VNs I laugh, because there is no way you can compare this masterpiece to anything else.
Complete the game in a week? It's impossible. I have 10 possible endings and yet here I find new things. Actually there are only 4 endings but started from scratch and did the DIK mansion mission perfectly 10 times o_O.
Not to mention that I have used cheats to unlock paths that cannot legally be obtained in the latest version and some scenes and achievements can only be achieved in previous versions so 100% is impossible for new players, sorry ;)

How do I delete Rewards and scenes from the game? I want to start a new game, but I also want to find all the renders and unlock all the scenes. Can anyone help?
Delete file "persistent" in folders ...\BeingADIK\game\saves and ...\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\BeingaDIK
Second one is in your windows system drive and hidden by default.

It depends if the game is from Patreon, Steam or GOG. If it's from Steam or GOG it's easy to delete the save folder and that's it if it's from Patreon Appdata/Roaming/Rempy and Being a DIK and delete everything

Sure will, thanks ! Perhaps you know that game, Artemis, deals with various types of psychological traumas, didn't expect that from such a game.

Love storytelling in AVN in general (otherwise I don't see the point), but if it deals with psychology too, damn, seals the deal for me.

Bella finally had scenes where she managed to free herself (to some extent), and wether people like her or not, Jill had a great conclusion if on her path.

But, to me...

View attachment 1968520

That scene alone, with Elena+JB whispering beside them...

Josy finally got some needed attention Ep7-8, and she shined in that one.
The best scene in the game to me anyway :love: :love:

I hope its MMF threesome please.
JB & Elena have been building up to it, I think it'll happen. Whether it's an Eiffel tower or DP sandwhich remains to be discerned.
Don't forget the Chick MC can even creampie Jill when she has no protection :KEK: which is a DIK move imo
Not at all. She didn't broach the topic with MC. She put the moves on him. She never asked him to cum elsewhere, when he made it clear she had a choice. If you've gone through all the abuse & domination from this woman along the way, you're probably perfectly fine with planting a seed in that goblin garden and giving up the rest of your life to raise it. That's totally a CHICK move.

Jill: "He's not using protection should I mention that?"
MC: "Where can I cum?"
Jill: "umm I dunno"
MC:

MC: "I'm cumming inside"
Jill: "um... okay"

Not so sure.

I mean, it's not like this could be Neil/Lynette 2.0 at all, especially after all those Neil reminders about wearing a condom.
Yup. Jill's story has sparse nuance. She will be ostracized by her family, and MC's lineage reveal will help mend the chasm.

That scene is a huge red flag for the pregnancy test. If the test wasn't shown on every playthrough then the odds would have been on Jill being pregnant after that scene. Perhaps there's different pregnancies depending on who (if anyone) Fuckface cums inside. If Fuckface fucks no-one or always pulls out then it's Elena, if Fuckface creampied anyone then they're pregnant.
Much more likely that it's Ashley than Elena.

Could really see Ashley though, there's a reason I think she fell like that for Derek, and why she was troubled at the Prep party. Elena knows a lot of things going on, on many people, I'm sure of that.

DPC realized by Ep. 3 that Sage is a better character and LI, so Jill's scenes are an afterthought.
That's a stretch. DPC tries to recreate Neil/Lynette with the MC/Jill and we are still at the beginning of the journey. I'm 100% sure that Jill's family will be opposed to her being in a relationship with MC and it will be something that we'll have to overcome at one point.

The pregnancy test does appear on every route, even if you did a virgin run and didn't have sex with anyone. So I think it's not related to the MC, but to either Derek or Tommy, as that will force their hand to be more mature and take responsibility and it will be a nice character development for them.

That would be pretty unrealistic as far as character development goes. Both of them are completely uncapable of taking responsibility and a pregnancy isn't going to magically change that. Honestly, it would feel very cheap and lame if it actually happens.

I just noticed something. Take a look at the screenshot. 100%? That's also the title of EP3. In the intro, Jade and Stephen are fighting. Is EP9 maybe a continuation of the intro of EP3? Remember that the ending of EP8 is an MC narrative.

Damn, DPC is a piece of shit. I mean that with full respect. :D(y)

There could be a big time jump that happens between EP3 and EP4, triggered by the decision of whether the MC goes to Jade or is just friends with Josy and Maya. That will also open up the solo paths. But the most important thing is the threesome.

The time jump itself is hard to see because it is spread across all the EPs and is not cohesive. That's why Josy said at EP7's HOT party that it was a mystery and that it reminded her of how the MC gave her his sweater. The MC replied that it felt like it was months ago.

In EP8, the MC told Sage that the more people knew about it, the more rumors would start. So Jade knew Chad was gay. And how? From Josy, because the MC told her. Why does Jade think Stephen is cheating on her with female students? The MC told Maya in EP2 so Quinn would use the girls to make money.

Josy tells the MC before the big decision in EP4 that this seals her fate, and the MC says the same thing. What fate? Nothing really big has happened yet. Here's the time jump. Josy and the MC have made mistakes in the meantime, while the MC just stays friends because Josy and Maya need to figure something out so they can stay together. The mistakes are probably in EP2, EP4, EP6 and EP8. (This is Tremolo 2)

A tremolo is a musical term and can only be used on stringed instruments (guitar). There are two variants.

a=Tremolo 1: Is the water slide with Josy (short and a straight line)
b=Tremolo 2: Is the water slide with Maya (long with many curves)

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

I'm afraid I don't know how to explain it, since these time jumps are spread across the EP's. This time jump can probably only be countered if the MC is on the Throuple path and he goes to Juno Waterpark with Josy, Maya and Derek. The water slides are the deciding factor in turning the time loop into a timeline.

It is written in both the game and the official manual that the MC sees Josy and Maya as one person, and that DPC treats each branch as one person.

Tremolo 1: The half note symbolizes Josy and Maya. This also shows us another decision of EP4. All three sleep in two beds pushed together. You only have this option when the MC is in the triple. The whole notes on the right side, are arranged from 1-8 in a straight line (timeline).

Tremolo 2: There are 2 half notes. The interesting thing here is the position of the notes. They go up and down. The bottom notes could represent the first year of college and the top notes could represent the second year of college. If you replace them with numbers, it could be a 69. In EP4, the MC can choose to sleep with Maya in Bed or Josy. Josy is the 6 and Maya is the 9 because they sleep that way too. But it is important to show the mistakes that Josy and Maya make when the MC uses the water slide with Maya.

Josy=6=EP6: Josy has a relationship with Jill and maybe Tybalt on the way of friendship with the MC. This could happen if Jill catches the MC with Isabella. Why. The library scene with Jill, Josy, Maya and the MC. Isabella wants to cut Josy's head off in DnG and Josy dies in all endings. (She loses Maya, but helps Maya later (calendar year 2020) because she wants to be with the MC and has discovered her other side).

Maya=9=EP9: Here I can only speculate myself. But probably Maya will take a deal as Beard for Chad, because there are hints that Maya knows Chad. These clues are in EP2. EP2 is the upper second full class, which is probably also the second year of college.

So I'm strongly assuming that Josy and Maya's mistakes on the way to friendship are a bit more serious. But the players, who don't want Josy and Maya as LI anyway, don't care. But it probably gets worse when the MC fucks with Jade, because then there isn't even a Josy and Maya decision.

The tremolo gives away even more, because it can only be played with plucked instruments, and that's the MC's guitar. Each finger has its own symbol. This could also have a far-reaching meaning. Look at the two pictures of Maya. In EP4, the MC said to Derek just before the Gay Guard Catcher, so Maya might be more malleable than he thinks.

p = thumb (There are too many possibilities for this. (Parents, Lynette's father, porn, etc.)
i = index finger (Stand up, info, vixen (Lisa uses her index finger).
m = middle finger (DPC shows us the middle finger, explanation below).
a = ring finger (Geoff is an alpha, probably Burgmeister or Royce)
c,x,e,q = little finger (Maya's personality. Christy, x is either Cathy or Madame (mask unknown=X), Emily, Quinn).

M is the 13th letter of the alphabet. What is 13? An unlucky number in western countries. And the misfortune will take its course, if the number 2 does not come to it and pushes itself in between. And why? Only if the MC fucks Josy and makes out with Maya in EP2 will he have a chance to get into the group in EP4. Only if he is in the throuple, the MC can trigger the tremolo 1 and 2 from the water park in EP8 and decide actively. If the decision is correct, i.e. Tremolo 1, EP3 and EP4 are set equal and there is no time loop. Bert's formula my dears.

1-3-2-4-3=4

I hope I have made it understandable.:eek::D

Or maybe DPC just liked the name Tremolo.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I'm glad to read that, took me about 25-30 hours on my first playthrough (Chick) while I wasn't sure what was going on at all, did another playthrough after that, as a DIK, and it's so different, took me about the same time to complete it, because, well, I also read everything, but it's more the songs and the renders and the 'feels' to the scenes, couldn't cut them for whatever reasons.

Doing another run right now, more as Neutral (cause I want to see if/how I can fiddle with the MJ relationship, heavily leaning toward Josy, and if it changes anything), and I just can't push myself to skip scenes. So yeah.

And it's the same for me, most of the time the pathing on other games isn't that different. Or you can get great, more linear games like Eternum or Artemis, but even then, replayability isn't even in the same ballpark as BaDIK.
Just the fact that DPC thinks on every details that even if a character doesn't say anything, but their face expression changes according to certain choice you make that is different from another gameplay is huge. I don't think many people pay attention to the effort he put on some details, because most of them don't even see it.
