The first one is my favorite

From Ep6 onward, DPC really fleshed her up, that last picture you shared, where she looks at the height lines when she was young, then in Ep7 when she cuddles on the MC, and in Ep8 she's just genuinely happy with the MC, her smile in your 1st and 4th pictures, MC managing to make her laugh in my 2nd picture, and that 3rd picture of yours, where the MC manages to make her rethink her positions...

Still can't envision a happy ending for her, but I hope DPC will make something happen for her to make amends (for all the people she wronged, Maya, Riona, Mona, even though she's willin, Camila...) and find some happiness with the MC before the end.

Quinn's happy ending is simple -- she makes a suitcase of money dealing drugs and rides off into the sunset in Rusty's stolen car, while flipping the rest of the cast double bird.

Technically you're right, the MC doesn't know Quinn is pimping the HOTs unless he signs up for the restaurant. But who else would she be offering? The way she phrases the offer suggests she isn't on the menu herself, and the MC doesn't know about the Pink Rose yet. We know the MC is worried that Quinn might use Maya "like she's using Camila" so the MC has clearly connected those dots even on non-restaurant runs.

Which is what makes the MC's cryptic warning so frustrating.



No, Quinn being VP is explicitly stated early on:

We also know that the MC knows who Quinn is because he and Derek refer to her by name after she steals their clothes:

As we keep saying, the MC told Maya that Quinn was evil, but not why or how she was evil, much less provide any anecdotal data to support the claim. Honestly, it would have been better just to have the MC say nothing if his warning was going to be this half-assed.



Technically the following are spoilers, but IMHO going into Acting Lessons blind is asking for trouble and I'll try to steer clear of direct plot spoilers.

Acting Lessons has a serious tone shift in the last quarter. The game suddenly becomes very dark, and the final act is spent watching what's left of the MC try to recover from the trauma he endured. Depending on how you play you can eventually overcome it and get a relatively 'good' ending given the situation, but it's still lightyears away from the way the game had been presenting itself for the first 6 episodes.

Now some people enjoy the twist, and conceptually I get it. IMHO the game is too heavy handed to work, but to each their own - the quality of the game otherwise is quite high. I just think you need to go in with your eyes open because otherwise the end can come across as a major bait-and-switch.

Here I misunderstood: I meant to say that since Quinn is the vice president to assume that it was the hots working for her was a legitimate deduction but not a certainty.

I still don't understand why mc had to bring who knows what evidence to convince Maya not to trust someone she never had any reason to trust

It's complicated, PinkCake is known for being a fan of dark tragic drama.
But I hope for the immersiveness of this game, that the consequences and fate of the characters will depend on the decisions made by the player. And this philosophy of the second chance, which is literally everywhere in the game.
I wanted to write a long post with a detailed "second chance" analysis in BaDIK but damn Chrome mobile crashes every 10 minutes.

Can't wait to see that post, I have one in mind myself with dark twists/theories for every characters.

Damn, I love this game :LOL:

The issue isn't really why Fuckface was there but more what he did there:

Fuckface: So I found the panties but then I heard people coming so I hid in one of the showers.
Maya: You stayed out of sight so they couldn't see you and you couldn't see them?
Fuckface: Not exactly, I still had a direct line of sight and I saw Camila naked with Quinn appraising her body.
Maya: Wtf no wonder they saw you, what happened next?
Fuckface: They stripped me naked and then Quinn took Camila's towel off again.
Maya: So you looked away to stop Quinn's game and preserved Camila's dignity?
Fuckface: Actually I checked Cam out and got a boner. Quinn then started making out with Camila to tease me more.
Maya: You told me Quinn is evil but at least Camila chose to be in there with Quinn, she didn't choose for you to be there too, you're not coming out of this well. What happened next?

Obviously the dialogue here would be different depending on whether Fuckface joined in or not, if he joined in it gets even worse.

Good grief! The MC doesn't need to read the full minutes of the meeting, just hit the highlights:

"I had to steal some panties from the HOTs. I snuck in and found some, but before I could leave Quinn and Camila caught me. Quinn said she'd call for security unless I stripped down, then she made Camila strip and tease me. When I tried to leave anyway she stole my clothes and started screaming!"

That covers the situation well enough without any major red flags. It even has the added advantage of being true if you played the MC in a certain way.

And again, this is largely beside the point. The key fact is that when the MC went to get his belongings back from Quinn (Maya already knew he'd lost his phone so this isn't a huge revelation), Quinn offered to get girls to sleep with him if he paid her. That's the pertinent point the MC keeps dancing around, and there's just no reason for his reticence if the MC follows the CHICK side of the force.

I still don't trust Lily one bit, but I don't need to trust her to have a happy penis. I'd like to keep her separate from my Nicole encounters, though.

Amen. I don’t blame anybody for liking Lily, but like you I don’t trust her. She seems dangerous, like a tempting landmine. Who knows how she’ll develop during the course of the game.

She will definitely influence events so staying friendly with her is probably a good idea, even if you don’t bang her.
