VN Ren'Py Being a DIK [v0.11.1] [DrPinkCake]

[BigBlueDude]

I think we'll get this happy Bella episode and this plot bomb will be activated by the end of Episode 9.
Do you want to live happily ever after? Haha, I'm DrPinkCake and that's not going to happen, here's some serious drama for you.
Bella's drama will be special, I think it's not for nothing that the Steam achievement for Bella's path is called "Bumpy road"

And I think all MGs will have some serious drama.

Maya is her drama with credit and blackmail from a psychopathic father
Jill's history with her sister, her family's potential connection to Lynette, and Jonathan somewhere over the horizon. Plus the relationship of a poor guy and a rich girl, the reaction of her family will be bad. Also Tybalt.
Sage already understands, there could be a whole nuclear disaster if you did something stupid with Jade and she explodes as the fourth power unit in 1986 ... And this may reflect on Maya with her debt. And Quinn's business is coming from the backyard.
The only one I don't see personal drama and my own story arc is Josy. She is locked on Maya, she has no problems of her own. And it dissolves. because I like Josy, I hope DPC spends more time on her story.

Serious drama huh, I think were both right. I dont know whats twisted in my head but for myself what the LIs, save Bella, have in common is romantic/lustful relationship drama. Fucking around drama. The stuff you get through in your youth so you hopefully dont have hangups later. Its essentially all bullshit, stuff you later look back upon through rose tinted glasses as superficial youthful horny fuckups. So I dont really see it as serious drama looking in from the outside. Only Bellas past triggers that for me and to a much lesser degree Mayas future held in financial and emotional hostage but that can be worked around.

Let me explain in a bit more detail how i think: Sure things can get heated in the moment when a college manchild fucks a teacher and her daughter, but the potential fallout except divorce, disgrace and career issues for the teacher? A couple years later noone is gonna remember that except the ones involved? This is why I dont really think of the Sage situation as serious. Its gonna suck in the imediate future but not for the long haul.*

For now I think the only way I can see Jills sistuation become serious is if her family disowns her and she takes that badly. Not that I care for her but abandonment cause real issues as the social animal we are.

Been a good discussion. We just rate the levels of drama by different scales. Noone is wrong here.

*Tangentilly to the Burkes, Quinns prostitution&drug business is serious depending on how its handled by DPC, how involved Steven Burke and B&R is and how it will explode or if it will be handled quietly. We have no confirmation on how well involved they are with each other.

I finally got to the sex scene with Isabella in chapter 8. Lots of work but big pay off. Holy moley! Talk about a ball drainer. She a fucking beast! Lol so glad I went that path first.

I'm pretty sure that Isabella is DPC's favorite character. Judging by how much work went into those two scenes and that she's so prominent in the menus and such.

i would argue that Quinn is DPC's favorite character. Look how much time and character development she gets for not even being a "true" LI

 

[ffive]

absolutely yes, of course "normal" is always easier. but in their specific case what should be the problems?

Ahh no, i think we have a misunderstanding -- i'm not saying there should be problems for sure with the throuple. Quite the opposite, i was responding to posts which made such claims, especially how there's no known successful throuples.

Personally, i believe they can make it work with enough honest effort.

 

[Deleted member 3727657]

Because there is cheating in the game? Seems like the obvious reason.


Besides the MC banging all the girls (well, almost all). Some would consider that cheating (even though there is no commited relationship yet).

Chad cheats on Sage. Professors cheat on their husband/wife. Girlfriends cheat on their boyfriends. I mean, there is a lot of people cheating on each other in this game.



Oh and you can cheat on your exams.

If you pay attention, you can find a lot of mistakes in tagging in games, for example, the game Treasure of Nadia contains cheating, but it does not have such a tag.

She is quickly climbing the ranks of the girls I'm most interested in, if not from a romance standpoint just for the character development and being one of the only threads with any semblance of a main plot, because it sure as hell isn't Maya and her religious father, unless he snaps and turns out to shoot the campus.

On Bella' side it will probably be some hiccups and a lot of red herrings, I refuse to believe he will go really dark with one of the main girls ever again, one, if not the first LI he designed for the game(can't remember if it was her, Sage, or Maya), especially if its mental illness related.

I already have several options for the development of the situation with Sage and the continuation of the meeting with Burke. Options from "good" to "disaster". Well, it depends on the decisions made by the player. Or maybe the DPC deliberately intensifies the degree of drama and ends the episode with this, and then we get a detente at the beginning of the next one. He already did that.
Speaking of Jill, I'm really looking forward to her family's reaction. I have a hunch that Royce is very corrupt from the inside, although they show the appearance of a good royal family. They have a lot of skeletons in their closet. Only one situation with Lana asks questions. She is dead or "died". Maybe they did something to her...
"It's very easy to become a black sheep in the family if you behave incorrectly and your last name is Royce"

Yes, I can finally have an interesting conversation, Thank you.

Why is this game labeled as cheating?!

have you tried playing a dik path?

i would argue that Quinn is DPC's favorite character. Look how much time and character development she gets for not even being a "true" LI

Hello, the matter is solved, actually I had misunderstood the concept of cheating, I thought it only meant cheating on the mc, but when I read the cheating tag again and more carefully in the tag section, I realized that it is not limited to the mc, any couple in the game where one of the couples Having sexual and emotional relationship with another person means cheating (according to f95zone definition), but mistakes can also be seen in labeling in different games, for example, Treasure of Nadia contains cheating, but this tag is not registered for it.

 

[DrSoong]

True, this is common especially in Islamic countries, but the game takes place in the US. So Tremolo will not have a harem with concubines

And in all this countries allowing polygamy (at least for men), porn is forbidden and brought by the devil.

considering what he was going to do with his inheritance, it seems to me to be the best investment facing him....

Simps In game:
"I want to give my inheritance to Maya to pay her tuition"
Simps in real life:
"Sorry bro I can't afford to buy Being A DIK on Steam"

 

[Lightaces]

Why is MC wearing a hay sack?

Looks more like a potato sack to me.

 

[allanl9020142]

MC has options to fuck other people's wives slash girfriends slash watermelons.

You think the "vixens" and Zoey in chapter 9 will change things? God, that would make such a mess of my playthroughs.

I always thought it's just because she's the gasoline to the fire or more like she plays a pivotal role in a large amount of events in Season 2. It's not necessarily on her alone that drive the events but they definitely wouldn't have happened without her touch. For example:

• Her "services" and how many people that implicates - MC, Camila, Stephen Burke, Mona dropping out, Sarah, Mel, Riona, etc.
• Cancelling on the DIK's Hell Week party but not telling them - DIKs fuck with Alphas - DIKs mansion gets ruined.
• Maya joining the HOTs because of free tuition - Quinn leading her on - Maya smacking Quinn then rage quitting - Sage coming in to save the day
• Berating and slapping Riona on two separate occasions (not a main event, just not cool)
• Tommy turning back to Vinny because he fell out with Quinn

After the whole Maya loan thing and the possible mole situation in the DIKs are resolved, Quinn's storyline will most likely be one of if not THE major "drama" for the foreseeable future which is why she gets so much screen time.

Eh, this might all sound mean but it just doesn't seem like much of a mystery to me. It seems pretty straightforward from what we've been shown.

1. We're shown a scene between Rionna and Quinn that they're short on money and Quinn won't be able to pay her supplier. Referring back to the "Count it again!" scene. (I think depending on whether or not you do the Quinn/Rionna threesome, that either puts them back in the green or they're still in the red)
2. Quinn sets up the Prep/Hot Hell Week party in order to "network" with potential buyers
3. She gets robbed and now she has no money and no supply.
4. At that point in the story, she's in way over her head and she's boned.

• Why does she do all that instead of you know ... studying?

Maybe paying for tuition has something to do with it but for the most part I'm gonna infer from her conversation with Rionna that she's just at school to make money off of students and fuck around because she thinks that's all she'll ever amount to. (She projects onto Rionna). As far as I can tell, the only warm adult figure in her life has been her dad (who probably didn't have a good ending) and he wasn't exactly a role model but he was definitely the only one she could look to emulate. It's not like she doesn't know there are other options. She's fully aware she's marching down a self-destructive path but really doesn't see herself breaking out of that and doing something else.

• Why does she snap when MC offers help with money?

People under great stress tend to snap like that. She was already having money troubles. Now her supply was robbed and she has to find a way to pay that back on top of already struggling for money. The rain in that scene was a really nice touch. "When it rains, it pours". She's also conditioned herself to think that she doesn't need or want help from anyone. She needs to be in control and would rather use people than rely on them. Then in comes MC who from Quinn's point of view would be the last person to even understand how knee-deep in shit she is, like "Durr, I can help here's 20 bucks". She WANTS to be some kind of mastermind but the walls of reality are assuredly closing in on her. That's like a double-whammy of "things that'd piss her off". Although the Pink Rose stuff may improve things for her situation.

For me, there's no real mystery because we're shown everything. What makes the story around her interesting is that MC is going to be the guy who goes "Hey, maybe there's a different life you could live" making her think that those options are more realistic than she previously thought. All while all the shit she's been up to starts to hit the fan and results in a big clusterfuck. It's gonna be amazing. It's like you're watching a marriage proposal while a flock of seagulls is flying towards the couple and those seagulls look like they've been eating gooood. You see it all unfolding and you just can't look away.

I'm betting that book is just the ledger for her "businesses". If there was yet another diary from a dead parent, I'd laugh so hard.
MC: "Yea, I've been reading my dead mom's diary"
Quinn: "OMG, I also have my dead parent's diary. Would you like to read them together?"
Then again ... I wouldn't put it past DPC to do that lololol.
