And if we're talking about Quinn here, she's not evil.

I agree with you.

 

[funkymonkeyjedi]

I agree with you.

I love how you won't quit.



***EDIT***

Neither will I.
lol

Guys, remember this Quinn's scene?

I think this scene is a nice touch by DPC. Quinn is called mischievous, evil, selfish, bad, or whatever but in this scene she doesn't hurt the fly, puts it aside. This creates a very nice polarity in her character. She does a lot of bad stuff but does not hurt a fly.

I think this is a unique topic that needs a clear definition and kept literally as black and white as much as possible.

This topic won't become black and white dude. Just because it can't be. People will never become saints.

I think I came up with a pretty good joke. As you know Chick MC refuses to have a threesome with Envy and Sandy as soon as he looks at Jill's photo. DPC should have done something similar in episode 7 when he refuses to have a threesome with Rio and Camilla after looking at Jill's photo.

MC should borrow a page from Tybalt's playbook and tape her photo to Camila's ass and pound away, then move it over to Rio's to do her.

*Sigh*
Ain't that the truth..

 

[Dark Silence]

Anyhow, I think this has been hashed out enough as it is.

I love how you won't quit.

Hmm What did you just say above? I agree with your first statement.

Maybe a lil funky monkey booty doin this. :

Because it's impossible to say no to Miss Rio, that's why.

You just have little faith. I said no to making out with her in episode 9 on my Quinn centered run... In case you don't recall it, on the Others' branch, making out with Rio is not presented as a major choice. And you only are offered two choices: either you make out with her or reject her without further explanations.

I uploaded the complete sequence here some weeks ago, when a redditor asked about that scenario.

I wasn't speaking in terms of game mechanics. It's just she's so cute, you can't say no to her.
You can call it one-sided love...

Edit; Why she had to be a hooker. It's not fair.

You learn to read and interpret signals gradually, it comes with experience. It's hard to blame the MC for this. If he had date or just spent time with someone before or in principle thought about it, he would have already had experience by his age.
It's a combination of many factors and as a result we have what we have.

I don't blame Zoey or the MC for their shortcomings. What you couldn't learn, you can't apply. Yes, they learn through others, but thankfully not fast enough. One of my favorite scenes in the game is in EP7 when Sage is training with the MC in his room. The MC is able to give Sage two compliments (flirting). But the MC doesn't realize in the process so he is actually flirting with Sage and ends up wondering so Sage wants what him. This is exactly why the girls fall for the MC. He unconsciously flirts a lot without realizing it. Neil was right, the MC is a charmer.

I don't think I'd be wrong to say that many of us had it that way the first time.

It will have happened to many like that the first time. Crossing a line or having a completely new experience takes courage.

I expect to hear from her that she have a crush on him in EP10. Depending on chosen branch this should develop differently.

I expect the same in EP10. I think, however, so that the further development is not necessarily Branch dependent, but rather a decision. In EP9, the MC can also make out with Riona if the MC is not on the "Others" Branch. I think so that will be similar with Zoey.

I'd imagine launching it independently and not through GoG or Steam should do it.

I'm using this site's version.

Signs of moral evil ? What is this all about ? She's just a young, moody girl. Almost still a child. Yes, she can be rude, scandalous and bitchy. Like many girls, let's be honest. I'm not sure if it can be called evil. We must not forget that evil can be different. There is a big evil, and there is a small evil. If Quinn is evil, then she's just a little funny, mischievous evil. I've seen evil people. People who have done terrible things. And compared to them, Quinn is just a kid. How can hate a child?! When I see all this hate directed at her, I just can't understand it. I want to ask those who hate her - Have you never seen real evil ? Quinn is just a naughty girl, a spoiled child who needs to be spanked for bad behavior. But to hate her and wish her dead, as some do, is too much.

I think to myself that Quinn is on a divorced path. She has sadistic tendencies, there's no denying that, because she takes pleasure in the misfortune of others. Quinn is not just a naughty girl. The seeds of evil are present in Quinn, there is no denying that either. The prostitution, drug dealing and extortion can be read about. I agree with you in that it has not yet reached the dimension for her to be called true evil. But it is on the threshold of that.

I have already seen evil. I have been threatened with beatings many times from my job, I have been threatened with knives, and earlier this year I was even shot at. I also see drug addicts and dealers during my work. A lot of them are the age Quinn is. That's why she's on the cusp. If she keeps going, she will cross the line and the path will be set.

That's why the question to me is whether a relationship between Quinn and a DIK MC, makes sense for Quinn. The inhibition threshold for both could thus fall further and further and they both embark on a dangerous journey.

Whether and/or how this can be prevented, only DPC knows.

She is a narcissistic psychopath, there is just no way around that. Not of the caliber of a serial killer but at the very least of the caliber as a criminal. She exploits and toys with people. She doesn't really acknowledges danger. She never reflects on her actions. She always blames others for misshapes and mistakes even if they're clearly hers.

Just take the costume competition at the end of ep. 9. None of her possible picks are about awarding the best costume or rewarding someone for his or her efforts or making someone happy. They are all about mocking, insulting and outright demeaning someone.

There is this small moment of regret and reflection on the roof for the very first time at the end of ep. 9, that could be a hint of a possible "redemption arc"f for her, we will see.

He unconsciously flirts a lot without realizing it. Neil was right, the MC is a charmer.

How is this so?
When we have a choice to flirt or not - MC is clearly know what he is doing. Not only with Sage, but with a lot of other girls too. He even clearly says and hints to Josy about his flirt with her (HOT's party). Otherwise we would have just an options with text to respond with, not making it so obvious and letting us to choice just text, but not wrapping it in such obvious state. That scene ends with Sage wanting the MC regardless of what options were picked during dialogue. The only requirement is to be on her path from fuck buddy stage. Otherwise post sparring scene plays differently and Sage never get mad on MC, she just send him a "signals" that she is still interested in him. If MC is not on the Sage path, he comments with inner voice her behaviour as she still wants him, while he said "No" to her several times before. So, he clearly see it and recognize things properly. But again, it doesn't depend on dialogue options. It's Sage, who is always interested in him.

I expect the same in EP10. I think, however, so that the further development is not necessarily Branch dependent, but rather a decision. In EP9, the MC can also make out with Riona if the MC is not on the "Others" Branch. I think so that will be similar with Zoey.

Picking the option to be mad at Zoey during bench conversation changes MC behaviour and attitude to her. Some of actions/options becomes unavailable during Halloween party, while his responses is sometimes really rude. We don't have an option to offer her to crash in MCs bed on any branch except "others", obviously AND this option becomes unavailable on "others branch" when MC is mad at her.

I don't want to say that cheating with her won't be available at all, but probably the combo of "being mad at her" and being on MG branch should fully exclude it. The reason is that the most important thing for her to hear from MC was his answer on the question about their friendship. When he is mad at her, I doubt that she will try to ruin such very flimsy friendship reconstruction. Try to move so boldy to something more significant, while ignoring the restoration of healthy friendship at first stage would be a pretty stupid move on her side. While MCs more friendly response and behaviour to her ("My feelings are all over the place right now.") may open the "cheating" path soon, because he mostly forgive her and they mostly skip the step by step thing.

Quinn is not a narcissistic psychopath, rather an egomaniac. Criminal is also still too much. Petty criminal fits better.

But otherwise you are right.

An egomaniac is pathologically a narcissistic psychopath.
