VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.10.1] [DrPinkCake]

but the harem ending is possible?

no way... never ever is this game gonna end with a harem. Its already ruled out that you can be with more than two LIs at the same time after chapter 8. (and you can only with two LIs at the same time when you choose Maya and Josy... to be precise, you only can follow one route)

The closest thing to a harem would be the throuple with Maya and Josy, and maybe possible other relationships with some "sharing" or so... but not a real harem, its not happening.

Even if you choose the "others" path, which means not going for any of the main girls, i dont think there is anything close to a harem route...

The game is all about choices and the consequences. If you cant decide... than the game is not for you, if you want all the girls at the same time... wrong game too, and no a mod doesnt solve this, it will just screw up the savegame.

But if mc isn't with Jill, Bianca is as good as any other minor side girl. What's the problem with having sex with her if you're in the 'others'?

The drama is only triggered with Jill and only with her will we have it.

Seems like you misunderstood my point - I meant as in a Bianca route in the Others branch.

Though the boyfriend's infidelity seems like a minor problem in Jill's path - it's not something that's going to majorly affect MC or Jill. There are more serious things to worry about in that path - like Jill's family.

 

[FappingWorldwide]

Bianca is more interesting though - clearly she's interested in MC if he is on Jill's route, like she was practically eyefucking him during the concert.

Yup, there’s probably numerous land mine characters on each main path designed to tempt the player, and Bianca is one for Jill’s path.

Maya - Josy?
Josy - Maya?
Sage - Jade
Jill - Bianca
Bella - Cathy, but that was pretty early on. And probably Jade in the future.

Yeah, Jill is just surrounded with so amazing backstabbing friends , and they all start with B.
first it was Bella, now it's Bianca, both are pretending to be so happy for her, but they can't wait for the opportunity, to back stab her, and fuck her man behind her back
such a lovely girls

Really read through the texts.

It is clearly written that if you have a neutral affinity in the future, you sometimes get a DIK OR a CHICK selection in addition. I just wonder what the player gets in addition for a DIK or CHICK selection, because the player may not be able to use the additional DIK or CHICK selection at all because the selection is absolutely against the player's will. On the other hand, the MC definitely gets the NEUTRAL option if he is DIK or CHICK. It is complicated to explain this.

Let's take a purely fictional example for clarification. Sage is lying injured on the floor.

DIK affinity + NEUTRAL SELECTION:
DIK = Move on
NEUTRAL= Call an ambulance.

CHICK Affinity + NEUTRAL SELECTION:
CHICK = First aid
NEUTRAL = Call an ambulance

NEUTRAL affinity + ? Selection
(Here's the problem. Does the MC get an additional choice and if so, is it DIK or CHICK):

NEUTRAL = Call Ambulance
(This is all there is. Stupid to be friends with Sage and not help her personally. Only good so he can call an ambulance).

NEUTRAL = Call ambulance
DIK = Move on
(You have another choice, but still don't personally help Sage and call an ambulance. Or you can be a complete ass and just keep walking )

NEUTRAL = Call ambulance
CHICK = First aid
(You luckily got the CHICK choice and can actively give Sage first aid or call the ambulance).

I hope the made up example clarifies that from my point of view it is better to be a DIK or a CHICK. NEUTRAL to me is just to put a DIK or CHICK affinity into perspective. This is basically what EP8's Major Choice shows us as well.

Derek's Revenge:
DIK = The MC goes along
NEUTRAL = The MC doesn't stop Derek, but doesn't want to join in himself.
CHICK = The MC persuades Derek not to take revenge.

I have the options NEUTRAL and CHICK in my playthrough. I choose NEUTRAL because that's how Derek is and that's how my MC met him. Ergo, my MC accepts Derek as he is without the MC violating his CHICK affinity.

Cheat Sheet:
DIK = The MC studies the answers and puts the cheat sheet back.
NEUTRAL = The MC does not study the answers and puts the cheat sheet back.
CHICK = The MC does not study the answers and flushes the cheat sheet down the toilet.

On DIK, the MC puts himself and everyone else on the toilet list in danger. On NEUTRAL, the MC only puts everyone else on the WC list in danger. On CHICK, the MC puts only the person who did not prepare in danger. (Dawe.)

I always choose CHICK because only the one who made and hid the cheat sheet should be in danger. Why should those on the WC list suffer when only one acted stupidly. It is the decision of a leader. One is sacrificed for the sake of several.

Okay, now I see what you mean. But I still disagree with your demonization of Neutral affinity, because if you're Neutral in an episode, Tremolo isn't behaving in any way indifferently at all. He's softer than DIK (for example, Neutral Tremolo would agree to grow a flower in Jamie's garden, while DIK would call it a faggot activity), but he's also not as soft as CHICK.

Yes, and that's exactly what I wrote in the original post. Tremolo is a hothead, but he learns quickly. So I'm not quite sure why we had to oppose this if we eventually came to where we started.

Maya - Josy?
Josy - Maya?
Sage - Jade
Jill - Bianca
Bella - Cathy, but that was pretty early on. And probably Jade in the future.

Yes I think the throuple is doomed and that choosing either one of them will exclude the other. I’m not sure if the MC can recover Sage’s love from the Jade grenade.

Bella dislikes Jade, and has been repeatedly hit on by her husband, so I think any MC that has slept with Jade, and recorded the video on Bella’s path will probably face some drama. Jade’s rage is not going to help in the situation.

I consider Quinn to be a main LI for the others path, in that context Lily is competition.

I’m sure that characters like Heather, Elena, Riona, and Sally can also cause some havoc depending on the situation.

I do not ask you to agree with my point of view. Everyone should play BaDIK the way they see fit.

You and I have only presented our different points of view.

I think, a possible way to decide, what options Neutral will get, aka Chick or Dik, is which one of the scale you have more. You can be neutral but, you either made more chick or dik choice.

 

[Lostanddamned]

It's not Bella or Bianca's fault that they are better than silly Jilly.

Do you really want to go there? Backstabbing?

Josy: I have a boyfriend (literally the next episode she fucks the MC on her parents' bed)

Same thing with Maya.

That would be the optimum.
But when DPC wants to annoy us, it takes the opposite.

I think a throuple ending will be possible, but we will have the option of splitting them up if we want Josy for ourselves for example. Though before we get to that, there are more important problems at hand - Maya's tuition and her dad for example.

An MC that didn't do anything with Jade has nothing to worry about with Sage. But I've said it before - it would be incredibly out of character for Jade to try to screw over her daughter's boyfriend just because he rejected her in the beginning.

Jade clearly had enough of Stephen's infidelities, the three students and supposedly Cathy (though I don't believe it) and he tried to hit on Bella but was rejected.

Quinn is weird because she's non-commital at the moment, but I think Quinn has to worry about Sage more than Lily at the moment.

Well, at least Josy can feel guilty about it, Bella on the other hand only remember that Jill is her friend, - or in the earlier episode she almost look at her like a daughter- , regardles she only think about that it might hurt Jill, when she found Caty's panties .

up until that point she is like , well, like you, meaning : Jill who?

I certainly hope so, haha.

You got the point right, I don't care about Jill. I'd bang Bella right in front of her eyes again in the next episode.

You see this bitch? This is what happens when you tell me that things are going way too fast and keep cockblocking me with Bella in the sauna.

 

[FappingWorldwide]

and supposedly Cathy (though I don't believe it)

That’s confirmed during the bar scene no? Cathy is ashamed of her actions, and Jade sorta forgives her.

Quinn is weird because she's non-commital at the moment, but I think Quinn has to worry about Sage more than Lily at the moment.

The interactions could suggest it, but the MC chooses friendship withSage if he doesn’t pursue her right? So that leaves Lily as her main competitor, assuming that the exclusivity choice at the end of season 2 is final.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

The whole scene is actually a great move by the MC when he agrees with Heather. The MC stands out from John and Tommy in a positive sense. He has the gentlemanly touch of JB, but in return, he's not afraid of Tommy like JB is. Yes, JB is afraid to speak his mind to Tommy. That's why JB later admonishes Jacob to look over his shoulder first when he mentions that the MC made out with Josy and Maya at the dorm party. Jacob found out from JB. That makes the MC better than JB and Tommy. That puts the MC higher up or above John and Tommy in the pecking order.

As for Heather herself, I can only write that Josy said to Maya in EP8 that she was temperamental but cool in her own right.

As for the second point, I agree with you. After all, it's the most vulnerable part of a man that immediately incapacitates him.

Heather was mentioned yesterday, so here's another thing I want to add. In Episode 4, if you chose to stay with Sage, during the free roam you can find a sleeping Heather and cover her with a blanket. Well, you probably know about it.

Now, if your affinity is DIK, Heather will thank you. Then she will go to her room and if you peep, MC sees how she masturbates in bed. If you are CHICK or Neutral - she will say that "Quinn was right, you are a pervert" and leave in disgust. There will be no scene.
Conclusions.
1. She obviously likes bad boys.
2. Heather is judgmental and labeling. Not very smart.
So I wouldn't call her cool.

 

[mightybored]

Maya - Josy?
Josy - Maya?
Sage - Jade
Jill - Bianca
Bella - Cathy, but that was pretty early on. And probably Jade in the future.

I'd say Bella's trip-up is Zoey, since I think she's the only one that knows about MC's past that specifically. Zoey might be MC's James, for lack of a better explanation.

I think I heard it before somewhere
