No shot in hell. The TAs are a major source of Quinns drug and escort income, she doesn't give a shit about the girls having a say if it hurts business and she's said as much. And Sage know about that business, cut off the TAs and what's stopping them going to the cops in revenge. Keeping the peace is the only option.

Quinn doesn't want to party with the TA in the first place and actually tricked them to make their bus ride.
So she is actively screwing with them and also says that the deal sucks.
And Sage doesn't know about the dealing, if I remember correctly. So no, those reasons don't exist. It is just a nothing plot point.

Apart from the fact that the TAs have to stop taking stuff anyway to not get tested positive.

To solve the second level of the cube puzzle you need to let

I don't get this... Those 4 symbols on second level...



Aren't present on the first one:



EDIT: Ok, I got this one... on the second level, every time you push the button, one symbol is selected... all the symbols... except 4. All those 4 that are not selected when you push the button are the ones you should point at in the first level.

There was a LOT of new content in this update...but it took a year to make.

Anyone else think this is largely due to the sudden shift from harem-friendly to single-partner in Episode 9?

Let me explain. With the harem style gameplay of Episode 1-8 you can have a few potential encounters with a few different characters. You hook up with all of them because...that's the point of these games. But if the game forces you to pick ONE girlfriend then the game has to include all of the possible main girlfriends in every update because who wants to wait 3 updates to get some action?

Naturally, you can still functionally get all the girls with a gallery unlocker, but you cannot get the story you want that way.

Maybe this is one of those hidden benefits to making a harem-focused adult game.

Also, "being a dik" is technically no longer allowed. PepeHands

Agree but Dawe is not able to process that things may change. Also he mentioned Alumni so my understanding is that there was a deal once with Jocks and HOTs and since Alumni still have some influence in fraternities/sororities (by funding them I guess) he acts so strongly to respect this deal of theirs. Quinn or HOTs in general and DIKs couldn't care less (or at least they act like that) so they don't give a fuck about Dawe or Jocks but there comes Sage aware of politics in college and making a deal to put an ease all sides.

So what? Alumni would force them to party with people they don't like against their will? What kinda parties would that even be?

I don't like Tommy since day zero.

He is an asshole. Always sabotaging the MC and trying to get Rusty get money from daddy instead of working to keep the Frat afloat.

He is clearly jealous of MC's popularity and working skills. He wants to live on Rusty's dad money and he sabotage MC's party planning activities just to be able to blame MC if party satisfaction rate is low.
He doesn't do anything to make the party rock.
Like of he doesn't want to be a successful party.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tommy were the traitor...

...he clearly demonstrates he doesn't give a fuck about DIK's ethics by breaking the DIK secret code. And many other un-brotherly behaviors...

Do we have any clue about who is the blue eyes girl under the mask?

Four symbols never disappear in the second level, and that's your answer. There is still no level 3 in the cube tho.

They might not be able to take drugs but they'll sure as shit be taking pussy. And again, if she pisses them off enough there's a cop on her doorstep asking what's the deal with that menu of hers.
I don't remember if she explicitly finds out or not but Sage is living under the same roof, partying with and the president of a bakers dozen of hookers all of whom seem to have money an no day job. She's not stupid. She'd have to be dumber than the watermelon fuck toy not to know.

found these if anyone needs them

How about for this one

Look at the (my) previous postings.

And they bought and took it. They would just completely destroy themselves telling on Quinn.

Also that is not what is said or even hinted at here so it is purely conjecture on your part.

It is actually one of the weak points of Sage as a character that she is apparently completely oblivious to what Quinn does and yes, that makes her look very naive and stupid.

And don't forget that he is always there when something happens, always. Its mostly played as a joke, him saying ' Hell no! and leaving, but no other DIK is present at more important MC situations than him. He even uses his DIK vote to protect the same video that gets leaked anyway. Kinda convenient he always has an alibi and is always cool with everything, until this ep where he pushes the 'MC is the mole' seed.

I like that when I posted that I think he is the traitor last ep people called me racist. Now more are jumping on this train. I have to wonder how many of you are legit seeing signs, or are you more like hoping its the case since he is after Zoey?

Nah, I only think it is him because I am racist, not seeing any signs

Okay, guys, jokes aside.. I can't finish that ep10 free-roam part.. Checked every damn room, talked to every person, cleaned up every fockin' bottle.. Sage appeared at the main room, but she's not clickable. Any options to skip that part somehow? Could mods be involved in that bug, or I'm Still Missing something? ((

Did you report back to derek after checking all the cameras?

 

[xsssssssss]

Man, Jacob takes a run ol Bloo Hair and everyone turns on him like he hasn't been a homie since the beginning. Where's that DIK brotherhood gone, bros?

Yeah i've never even suspected Jacob(will be surprise to me if that's Pinkcake's plan). I was rooting for him getting him on with the blue haired Josey mk2

 

[stacho.jr]

solving a puzzle every 5 minutes is getting pretty annoying

 

[ZenoMod]

DPC has said several times in his status updates that programming minigames will save him time in the future, but it's not clear how.

Without minigames this update would have had roughly 30 minutes of gameplay per branch.

Every minute we waste playing minigames is a minute of scripting and rendering saved by de developer.

A minigame once coded can be reused virtually forever with just a little effort.

Scripting and rendering are much more time consuming to be implemented. I would guess at least one hour of development per one minute of VN renderings... While an already developed minigame can keep the player engaged for half an hour with just a little effort to create new datasets.

 

[DanMotta]

there is a lot of that in the game ( love it too )

I think DPC has already done the same "revealed " the bright blue eye girl mystery girl we met in ep 9, during ep 10 too.

She was in the dorm girl Halloween photo, i cant recall if we get a shot of her with them during the party.

The dorm girls have been seen throughout the game . Some we recognise together in the dorm party, some are at the hot party ( jacob is fucking one of them) . There is a bright blue eyed blonde we haven't spoken too or been featured much if at all as a background character but she is with the dorm girl group in the yoga class in ep 10.

Could be wrong though and im mis-remembering but thats what DPC likes to do with subtle showing and not telling with background/foreground characters . Gets us thinking/discussing

isnt the girl with blue eyes, Beth? the girl from caffeteria who was posting the pics?

 

[Ir0n Ma1den]

The story in episode 10 hits hard, as someone whos grandmother has demntia, I can say that The cake writing is pretty legit, and I can feel all the femily members who have to endure the situation.

I can espcially relate to Patrick, who from the outside does behave shitty, but Imagine the burden this man holds on his shoulders and the pain of seeing his loved one turning into a leaving zombie, and knowing you can't do anything to save him its eating you from the inside. Now imagine you have to work to succed and to grow your childrean,while holding off those emotion and to take care of your sickly wife.

Of course nothing excuses vioence and abusing your childrean in any shape or form, but I do understand where this man coming from, I hope MC, friends come to the conclution that their whole femily needs help and emotional support. Patrick, Derek and Maya need help, people like them need emotional support and maybe financial??(but I doubt it). Here Rusty, Sage and Jill need to intervene. Me as MC if given the choises will be there for both Derek (Bro in all my routes) and Maya (In routes that she is romanced as a friend, and escpsially in the routes MC romanced her). MC needs to invite both of them to celebrate with him an Neil, those two need some peace of mind.

My gripe is that in the choise where MC can either hit in dik, just comment at nutural and rescue Maya in chinck. The nutural and chink should have been reversed. In Nutural you need to save maya, while in Chink you just need to give a comment. Hitting him is understanble, since MC is ignorent to the situation. I wouldn't him Patrick since I know how he feels, but your avrage player and MC are clueless so its a good choise.

DPC really mangaed to capture this sad reality in a 9/10 way, more the hollywood and other media do.

I did the shrooms and was wondering if there are any meaningful differences / extra scenes if you stay sober.
