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

[BobBobb]

One in a million, maybe less. Then there are so many situations: it's one thing if they are already friends and decide to get over it (Jill and Bella for example) , it's another thing if they are girls who want to understand why they were left.

But girls who celebrate in their underwear with their boyfriend and his exes in my opinion there are fewer than honest politicians

One in a million is still bigger odd than the chances of getting in a throuple with a lesbian, yet here we are. Friendship between the 5 MG is set on stone ( a bit forced imo ) but i've seen people do even dumber shit than the portrayed in the game tbh especially around/for the person they like, add we are talking about mostly girls in their early 20s and you got the disaster served. The Sage/Jill scene does make sense from a female perspective. Sage: hey i know i fucked your BF but watch out for that blue haired bitch, i almost kissed him last night but i was dizzy haha also MC please stick with this new GF you got instead of running back to your first love.

Honestly, I wish Josy just told Sage she knew about Chad a long time ago, or MC told Sage shortly after taking about it with Josy. Obviously in that discussion context for being "the beard" it'd probably not go well, but in other circumstances I don't think it'd be a problem. Sage knows Josy is also in a secret homosexual relationship, so can probably assume she can understand not gossiping about it.

In any case, it's better left to Sage, not MC talking about it.

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

Yeah, this blowing up in our faces is one of the reasons I'm so disappointed in this episode.
Felt so bad that I jumped ship for Zoey at the end, though I realize this is going to make Sages worst fears about MC visiting his Ex a reality. Not looking forward to seeing how that plays out in the next episode at all.

Are you disappointed in the episode because you are facing the consequences of MC's stupid decisions? No guys, this is not a game where you can do whatever you want and not get anything bad.

Flirting with Jade is not lethal. The problem is the ending of chapter 4

At least in this game we seem to have a possibility to avoid (some) disastrous events, which wasn't the case in DPC's last game.
Now we can just choose for the carnage to happen if we want to

Although we still need to wait how Zoey will take the rejection if you choose to do so, but my guess is she will be at least semi-chill about it and will not go full Leah.

Flirting with Jade is not lethal. The problem is the ending of chapter 4

Showing video to Derek decision? It's making it worse, but anyway agreeing to Jade's scene in Ep3 should turn Sage's route into MC's guilt trip? Or not, because I didn't have the option to get just a handjob and cut it down, I was with her until the end of Ep8

Although we still need to wait how Zoey will take the rejection if you choose to do so, but my guess is she will be at least semi-chill about it and will not go full Leah.

That's what I hope for, I don't want her to go full Josy mode, putting pressure on MC and take rejection with head held high in Ep.12

Flirting with Jade can still be lethal to the Sage relationship though (since that is what Geralt means looking at his mean).
Even if you don't leak the video, MC will still be guilt-driven and we notice that throught the entirety of episode 11.

Not the video. If we stay at the flirtation in the classroom there is some guilt mc confronts Jade and it seems to end there. Including declaration of love.

The important thing is not to have sex with Jade.

Jill: Refined taste? I once saw MC put ketchup on Ramen Noodles

uh when did this happen??????????

They spent time together off screen during the time skip

 

[Riaman]

They spent time together off screen during the time skip

Not exactly a time skip but since Season 3 an episode approximately represents a month, so it's just those times that went fast by.

 

[treechild1]

I don't even waste my time trying to understand this. I advise everyone to make save games dedicated to a single girl and that's it. Otherwise, you need to turn off your brain to play this game.

I mean... How do you explain all the girls being friends with each other after the MC abandoned 4 of them for one of them? Zero sense.

But, that’s the entire problem with the writing of this game isn’t it? A lot of people (in this thread) have been trying to role-play the shit out of this game. Trying to force outcomes, conclusions, and endings that will never happen. The first seasons of this AVN were brilliant in that DPC knows how to write and render characters that suck you immediately into his world. It was engaging and, dare I say fun, for awhile. And, like so many other writers, he’s losing something along the way. How many authors do you notice with powerful starts and mid (or worse) finishes? I still fear this is AL (or Mass Effect) all over again. There is one central plot DPC has in mind, he has too many subplots and characters now for our “role-playing” to make sense anymore. So, “why play so-and-so path, it doesn’t make sense”? Why not? It’s just a game. Maybe it’ll be great when it’s done, maybe not… We unfortunately keep being reminded of exactly that, it’s not brilliant writing. That said, the author is also never going to be able to please everyone and I think it’s becoming clear that isn’t the goal anyway. So, MC-horny-for-everyone-group so that we can watch the world burn? Game goals, here I come! Maybe it will pay off! Maybe it won’t, oh well…

Yes I was referring to the assembled avengers, I wrote day but I meant the scene before the mission . At that time nobody but Derek knows about Patrick's abuse. Sage probably knows more about Maya's situation, but Jill and Bella there is no reason to think they know much about it. It is all extremely forced and blatant. Starting with the mission itself in that they already know that Maya has no loan in her name.

Do Jill and Bella serve as legal advisors? In the end they just repeat what they had said before

Only Derek knows about the physical abuse but as of the library planning meeting, Sage, Jill and Bella all know that Patrick is threatening Maya's education funding because she's dating Josy. True, we don't know how much Maya shared but they (especially Jill) could have interpreted what's going on as a form of psychological abuse or "bullying." Yes, Maya's tuition plot is extremely forced overall and glad that's over. All things considered, outside of certain paths, the MG group just doesn't seem that forced imo. DPC could have given no signs whatsoever that they were all interacting and then it would have really seemed forced.

I want to play a cheat on Jill playthough from season 1. I'm gonna go for a NEUTRAL affinity. How are you guys doing your own playthroughs? Quinn, no Quinn? Restaurant, no restaurant?

 

[den_tiger]

question for those who did it with Jade but did not tell Derek -- does the MC still feel guilty about the divorce on this route?

On my Cheat Jill run, I went all out:
- Every other MG
- Restaurant
- Every Swyper possibility
- Jade
- Madame
- Strippers
- Even followed Quinn's route until she declines you in the library when Jill asks MC for a dinner date
- Do every possible cheat activity during Halloween and panty party

you can get the restaurant but you cant get too many chick points nor can you get too many dik points and when it comes time for major decisions try to keep the dik/chick major choices balanced and try not to be on any other main girls route the side girls are ok

 

[Znar26]

Just a thought re: Jill path. I don't think you have to cheat on Jill. It appears to me that Jill (slightly drunk) will allow Bianca (Jill: "Poor Bianca, she deserves what I am getting.") ...to have a shot at MC as long as Jill is watching/helping.

I sense similar on the Bella path, (Bella: "Jills' first time should be with my great guy.").

Obviously there are other possibilities too....

Sage path: Befriending Jill has possibilities.

Of course he still feels guilty, but now he just doesn't have anyone to share this with.

 

[Rehwyn]

In any case, it's better left to Sage, not MC talking about it.

Agreed that the decision to share that info is probably better left to Sage, but once the decision to share it with Josy was made I think it's better to be honest about her knowing. It'll probably come out sooner or later, and the longer it's been, the more it'll probably hurt.

Edit: It's been a while since I played Episode 8, but wasn't the decision to tell Josy partially to get advice on if MC should tell Sage about Chad? That makes it more excusable in my book.

Still funny scenario when Chad confronts MC in the library:
MC: Yes, nobody knows about it. Oh, except my yandere. Oh and also except your ex.
