hmm should be a DIKs or CHICK? maybe i should have 2 saves from beginning, one for dik and the other is chick. im newbie
Wrong approach.
First of all, your focus should be more "which Girls do i like?" Its not a Harem game, not even in the others Path.
The Main Branches of this game are Devided focused on the Girls, not the Affinity... basically, the Affinity doesnt change the Gameplot at all, just a bit of Attitude and many Scenes play out a bit differently but not that significant. The Affinity influence how the MC acts, and how the girls approach him... some girls dont like DIK personas and you dont have a chance with them in the long run and vice versa.
Sure to start with the game you COULD go "all in" as chick and after that "all in" as DIK... but with episode 8 that will end und after that you will think "man, i could have done a playthrough for my favorite girl instead"
If you really like the game that is...
Most people, especially on F95 seem to not like the game that much and dont want to put any thought to it or time. "meh meh minigames, meh meh free roams, meh meh why cant i fuck all of them all the time" and so on.
The branching in this game is CRAZY. And easy the best made in that regard on all F95. There is not a single game getting even close at the amount of branching Being a Dik has, especially considered that the branching nearly works perfectly all the time. Most other games cant deliver that and if they try, the DEV crumbles usually. Not many choices have real BIG impact, but pretty much every choice matters at least somehow... for example... something simple as telling a guy "hey try the chessclub" will lead to a blackeye 6 episodes later. And that basically goes for every chocie in the game. The obsession with these kinds of details from DPC (the dev) is really crazy and awesome, but not even 95% of the players care.
So if you just want to see most Lewd scenes in one go, yeah maybe its the right approach to just go for chick and dik, bang everyone, and see what happens...
But to get really into the game, it would be better to see which girl you like and go for those... and make different playthroughs for the girls, not Affinity.
But thats only when you really care... cause otherwise it gets overwhelming i guess.
I have now 21 playthroughs saved, but did many more (though i deleted them because i didnt like some things about them) and iam not the one with the most playthroughs here, thats for sure.
For the first time i would recommend... just start the game, play the way you like... and make a safe at the start of episode 4.
Episode 4 is a good "waypoint" to start focussing on one girl... cause after episode 4 it gets more "serious" with most girls and if you go for more than one... you will feel it later. (or better siad, they will

)
Though the "one girl" rule only counts for the maingirls, which are Josy, Maya, Jill, Sage and Bella. If you dont go for one of them, you can pretty much do what you want which is called the "others" path in the game later on. Basically the path where you only have something with the sidegirls... which are a lot... but even on the "others" path you cant get them all initially, and later on it will be decision time again. More or less in Episode 10, even a bit before you need to make some decisions which "sidegilrs" you are going for...
So yeah... the game is not about the affinity, its about the girls.
*edit* The overall plot doesnt change though, its always the same in pretty much every details, and so far we couldnt influence it one bit... at least it looks like it. Maybe we already made choices which will matter for the overall mainplots, but if so... it wasnt shown yet.
