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

Does the last scene end at Bella's when Maya opens the front door?

I thought this also at first, but yeah she opens the locked door to look for towels. As for why the door wasn't locked this time is a mystery. Seems like if Bella was expecting company she would of made sure it was locked. If you just look at the still render you can tell its that door based on the room layout. I am just thinking that is where she keeps all her husbands stuff like a shrine. Kinda like people do when their spouse dies they keep all the stuff in a special place and visit it. The room used to be open at some point because Jill makes it sound like she has been in there before, but how long ago that was is unknown. It could be anything though. I just think it is odd that after roaming the house there is a lack of stuff that seemed to be owned by the husband anywhere.

what is with all these posts about the husband and lack of his stuff anywhere? he left 3 years ago, took his stuff with him. end of story. just took Bella a long time to move on. and now she has on the Bella path..mostly.

Does the last scene end at Bella's when Maya opens the front door? I see some ppl talk about getting to say Ily to Maya or Josy so I messed up or I'm missing something because i don't recall ever getting that option. Also I hope we get a chance to go back to Zoey I was really hoping to get the option to fall to temptation during the holiday party.

If you play the Others route you can get back together with Zoey again at the party.

You can do that on all routes, not just the Others route.

ILY scene with Maya or Josy is much earlier, even before the panty party. You only get the chance to say it if you have collected less than 4 deviant (cheating) points.
You can get back with Zoey on any path, as long as you make enough positive choices regarding her and don't say ILY to Maya or Josy.

Well she let the MC borrow his shorts so uhh she has his stuff somewhere. Pretty sure he just went missing also.

Oh, really? It's been a minute since I played any of the routes that deep so I completely forgot the choice was even there for most of them.

As Vill3m says above, it's a choice on all paths, providing you haven't done something to lock you out of it.

I wish James would return, but I feel like DPC got the timing of his return wrong. Bringing James back in EP.12 is too late for any impact on the plot. In EP.12, Bella will most likely drop an 'L-Bomb' on the MC, thus burying all the fears she has about moving forward with someone she's hopelessly in love with (MC). James returning at the end of EP.12 would mean he'd automatically lose – zero chance of him having any chance with Bella.

The scenario would be different if James returned at the end of EP.8. In that case, it would also be bad timing, and Bella would hardly choose the MC over James since she have many uncertainties about a romance with the MC. This would mean an automatic loss for the MC at the end of EP.8, just as EP.12 would be an automatic loss for James.

The right timing was for James to return at the end of EP.11 – the final scene should have been James ringing the doorbell and Bella answering with a shocked expression. This would allow both the MC and James to have fair chances in EP.12, as Bella would be confused and wouldn't have said the 'L-Bomb' yet.

The MC could then make things easier by mentioning Zoey's return and that he'd like to rekindle what he had with Zoey (for those who choose Zoey over Bella), while the MC, who remained faithful to Bella and intended to have something lasting with her, would show himself as a bigger man, seeing himself as an intruder in James and Bella's relationship, leaving the scene so Bella wouldn't have to choose between him or James.

Obviously, with the MC 'out of the picture', Bella realizes she doesn't want James back in her life because he's not the one she loves, but the MC. When I say 'with the MC out of the picture' I'm not saying Bella should go back to James and then change her mind after a few weeks (no NTR, please). I'm referring to the MC letting Bella move on with her life, showing understanding of the situation. DPC would give the MC an awesome development, it would be a contrast to how the MC behaved when he found out about Josy and Maya (total snowflake) and it would also make Bella's declaration of love more impactful.

I don't think James is coming back at all... at least in physical form.

I believe Bella has some form of mental illness in regards to James, probably a coping mechanism that he is still around or something of that sort.

There is some serious doubt on whether James is still alive. You seem to imply he just moved out. We know very little for certain, but it is definitely not as simple as you think.

You need to make some choices in S3 so Zoey has enough points, though the tone of it all is more like if MC still likes her than the other way around. If on the Josy and Maya path MC must not tell either of them he loves her. Can't remember if there were any other conditions.

yeah apart from flashback i don't think we seeing him, what the point in bringing him back now make Bella the anti Jade. I think it will just stay at he left her or is dead

Episode 12 Sage path, when Sage finds out what Josy did during the pillow fort date

 

[dalli_x]

Is he physically absent or mentally absent? It's strange that Isabella's ordeal begins at the same time that Tommy and Rusty started at B&R. Episode 5.

I thought about this a long time ago because I found a hidden clue back then. Don't ask me where the clue is, because I don't remember. It was a few years ago. But it was recognizable as a reason for a car accident.

We learn quite a bit about Tommy from Josy. Partly because he wasn't the best in high school, partly because she doesn't know how he got into college, and partly because Pete was quite proud of him. Well, let me put it this way: If a Burgmeister owes someone something, it can be worth a lot, for example, a spot at B&R.

I think James's fate was something like this. He was riding his bicycle in the street when a car forced him off the road. The occupants of the car were Rusty and Tommy. They stopped to check on him. James was injured and unconscious. Rusty was probably driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol and panicked. Tommy took care of things by hiding the supposedly dead James. Rusty has been indebted to Tommy ever since. What neither of them knows is that this was done so that James survived, albeit injured, and has no memory of what happened.

When James didn't come home, Isabella informed the police. However, the police were only able to find James's bicycle. Therefore, Isabella still hopes that James will return to her. All Isabella knows is that James had an accident, and she is collecting everything related to it in his room.

[DIKHammer]

is this the rabbit Fanny? I googled the name and couldn't find any one , is this guy fr, does it take him this long to understand this, DPC make fun of the feminist girls from S1, Derek has "offensive" shirts with a signature of DPC

and these ppl are everywhere, this is gonna be a bit out of context but, I saw a video of Stranger Things cast answering question or some shit and one of the guys was wearing skirt, and normally there were comments lile; uhh Dustin is wearing skirts now? and there was also bunch of ppl commenting to that "I think it is best if we don't point these things like that" bruh how can they expect us to ignore grow ass man wearing skirt

outside of a dude wearing a skirt to win a bet or because they lost a bet, that's probably a tranny not a dude

I prefer the 20 posts per page setting, it bumps the page numbers There are 19069 (nice) pages rn

100 per, more scrolling, less clicking

I'm currently at 92,13% of dialogues seen, it's seems a lot in a way but i know i've missed a lot

IIRC 100% is not possibly without altering via mods

Oh no, the M+J scene at the end of 11, was that the burning house scene, like in Acting Lessons? Only instead of a fire, we say "ILY" to the one we choose? Damn, the threesome ended and I still haven't figured it out.

I don't think Jill and I are okay. Her family rejected Tremolo at dinner because he's poor. It'll all end unless he suddenly meets his grandfather.
And he might meet him at the music concert. I completely understood the point of that event: all sorts of sponsors will show up, like at the snob party. And there we'll get to meet the bigwigs.
Or Bianca will introduce me to my grandfather. Or Cindy. Or Rusty.
There are plenty of options; just wait until 2027 and you'll find out.

No I just think Jill's mom has become a very cold individual having to deal with massive mental trauma - the loss of her daughter and her husband being a drunk.

correct plus the theory that Bella was talking to an imaginative James in the flashback (Library) is also highly spoken of

Did you just seriously write the plot of "I Know what you did last Summer" with Tommy, Rusty and James ?

Dude, it's like so obvious you don't understand what Bella is saying here.

I completely understand what Isabella means. Either in episode 2 we're a year before episode 5, or Isabella had sex with another guy after James disappeared.
