A dream sequence wouldn't make a lot of sense to start Episode 6 given it wasn't nighttime at the end of Episode 5 and we hadn't even worked out where the MC would be sleeping. Plus, and I feel I need to emphasize this, dream sequences in BaDIK suck.

How would that be in any way preferable to an equal length session of actual DnG in the middle of Episode 6 that lets us see the actual characters interacting with each other in a novel setting?
Here's the beauty of fictional writing; you can make anything make sense.

We don't necessarily have to pick up the story right where it left off in ep 5. Yes, every episode has done that so far, but it doesn't mean that DPC has to stick to that formula. We saw the MC get his jacket and standing in his new room at the end of ep 5, right? Well, what if he spends the night there on a spare mattress or in a sleeping bag? That would solve the issue of where he sleeps and wouldn't have to have different renders for different places based on previous player choices.

It's not something we necessarily need to see or have explained either because you don't always have to show everything that goes on. It's like with TV shows where the start of the next episode is days after the previous one ended because nothing particularly significant happened in the story during that time, and so the next episode just picks things up at the next major story beat.

But generally you do need to fill in that gap with something, like a flashback, or a scene with side characters, or a dream sequence. In the case of the latter, seeing the MC dream about 3 LIs in a fantasy environment he has recently become aware of would make sense as it's something that's very fresh in his mind and it could give an insight into his thoughts and possible concerns about recents events, which have been tumultuous to say the least.

Another option besides a dream sequence bridging the gap between eps 5 & 6 could be that we see Quinn going to meet her dealers on Sunday night at the beginning of the episode before we see the MC wake up in the DIK mansion the next day. Either one of these things can work in the context of this story and even if that isn't how it will be, there's nothing to say that either one couldn't be a possibility.

Try starting the game on the new computer so it makes save folder, then replace everything in that folder with whats in your save. Not sure, but I think that was how it worked on my PC, been a while since it happened.

No u r using cheat, compressed v working fine
No he isn't. The compressed version has been broken at that exact point for the last two epsiodes. We literally had dozens of people with that problem. You can check the thread if you don't believe me.
I actually doubt that he had 'something' with Quinn on a serious or some level, they are probably partners in terms of selling drugs and fooling around, but I doubt he had anything with her. How do you know about Riona anyway? :D I played all 5 episodes 2 months ago and almost can't remember anything from it...:ROFLMAO:
Tommy mentions Riona's BJs when talking to Rusty before the first time you enter the preps' house.

Make 3 saves and do all 3 routes.
Those are rookie numbers, got to pump those up. 3 routes with minimum 6 saves that way you can cover all of them with DIK or Chick affinity. Maybe 9 if you want Neutral affinity in there as well.

Edit - I also saved at the end of every episode that way I can go back and change variables if I need to

I used to do that, and also had alts for the Jade/Cathy dreams but it go stupid so I deleted everything and now stick to just 3 saves, my 'Do what I would do' save with the other 2 being maxed Dik/Chick saves. It's enough, especially since I'm playing with mini-games on, I am so fucking sick of the English tests.

Same here. I do admit I hate the mini games on the replays but I'm still grunting through it. I know I have supported more branches being necessary but in a way I am kind of glad there aren't because I would need a glossary for all my saves.

English tests are definitely the worst mini-game. It is to the point that all any of my MCs ever study is English and I buy my Magnar boosts as soon as they are affordable. I so wish I could use my keyboard for those.
I cheat. I either use the WT, or I use an anagram program to figure it out.

In the end I think we should need at least six saves, one for each LI and a DIK bang all one.

I have yet to do a single specific LI run. I'm waiting till closer to the end of this before I do that. I have explored them to see the renders and story if you refuse someone but I haven't saved any of them.

Yeah, for now I have three, DIK, CHICK and neutral. For now there's no reason to split them more but eventually we will have to choose. The only scene I couldn't get with those was Rose's. And by the way, I just noticed I forgot M&J together as an option, so that makes it a minimun of seven, if we don't get any nasty surprises (looking at you AL :ROFLMAO: ).

RenPy helpfully stores all your save data in a folder without bothering to mention it to you, so you need to track down that folder and copy the saved games into it. It should be somewhere like:
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\RenPy\BeingaDIK

I have 20 saves
How can you live with so few!? Assuming the file count in that folder is accurate, I currently have 1.57 E2 saves (not counting quicksaves or autosaves). If sort through those saves wasn't such a pain I'd probably have more!

I only have 1 save, 1 path, follow my heart my instincts
,or my Dick actually, but my instincts guide my dik, so ... :D.Everytime i try to create a different MC , i just can't. Once the game is completely finished, years from now, than i probably will be able to see the other paths.
