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

[Dashxp4k]

My theory is Arieth or Jamie blackmail Chad

 

[Cigar-Ferras]

I actually quite like Quinn as a character but I think, no matter what we do, she's doomed

I've thought this myself. I kind of see the love interests as pairs, Maya-Josy, Bella-Jill, Sage-Quinn but found it odd that Quinn was never a main love interest. I can't see Quinn being up graded to a main girl either sadly, but it's fun to speculate.

My theory is Arieth or Jamie blackmail Chad

I'm with you on Jamie, i can't quite put my finger on it but something seems off with him to me. And Arieth .... that would be funny if she's a secret genius just hiding it behind being the dumb slut act. (Doubtful, but funny) I can't see her being in on anything other than getting her next dick fix.

 

[crabsinthekitchen]

My theory is Arieth or Jamie blackmail Chad

Sending an envelope with pictures of herself being fucked by 5 different guys to Dawe sounds like something Arieth would do. Although I don't think she wanted to blackmail them, it was probably a party invite but she forgot to write the text

I think you're mistaken in including Quinn as an LI; if she were one don't you think she'd be included in the end of chapter summaries? It's my belief that the seven possible Affinity positions relate to seven possible good relationship outcomes: Young, free and single - Sage - Josy - Josy+Maya - Bella - Jill - Maya.

Unless DPC is still hiding us the real "bad guy" of the game, Quinn seems the obvious troublemaker for what it's to come. At the moment, we all can see how she and her shenanigans can hurt the MC and all our main LI... except Bella and JIll. Which is what have me intrigued. We can choose a CHICK path to pursue one (or both) of them while neglecting M&J and obviously Sage, and of course we can do a run avoiding Quinn and her dirty business as much as possible. So anything bad happening to her would only affect the MC in a very slightly way (and mainly because Maya is Derek's sister). But I can't see how it could affect Jill and Bella. In this route I'm saying, DPC might have in mind another shocking event completely unrelated to Quinn. Basically because if the only 'turning point' is something related to Quinn, it won't cause an emotional impact in many players, and I doubt that's an expected outcome for this game.

Bella's secret is the main suspect for that alternative shocking event, but I'm failing to see how it could affect Jill, who seems to be in the known. So my guess is that we're still blind about the greatest turning point in the whole plot

Quinn's actions could potentially affect the entire college so actually Bella and Jill might be affected, Bella because she could lose her job and Jill because it's her family's name on the wall.

I think its highly likely based on what we've seen that there's real antagonist to be revealed.

And that runs up against the issue I was talking to Bacchus about, namely, what is it about this kid that makes anyone think he could do anything to help in most of these situations. The best he can do is encourage some of them to keep their distance and others to go to the police and try to strike a deal.

I actually quite like Quinn as a character but I think, no matter what we do, she's doomed (I'm flashing to that one O.C episode that showed an alternate timeline where Ryan didn't go to live with the Cohens and Marrissa died anyway and far sooner than she did in the real timeline)

from a realistic point of view you would be right, but the protagonist of every story should make the difference, be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

my reasoning is simple: regardless of Quinn's fate, the scandal cannot explode, it would do too much damage. in this I expect MC's intervention, and it is easier for him to act with Quinn than against Quinn in this. if MC acted against Quinn this would risk making the situation degenerate, bringing matters to light that must remain "private"

 

[Dghg]

what is the d/f b/w dick path and the other

 

[moskyx]

Quinn's actions could potentially affect the entire college so actually Bella and Jill might be affected, Bella because she could lose her job and Jill because it's her family's name on the wall.

Still weak connections, in comparison with 2 girls who can be directly involved in those activities and another one who could be blamed for cooperate with it or a negligent supervision. A teacher can find another job easily if her name is not directly involved in the incident. Although Jill's family falling appart due to the scandal could be a bit more serious issue, but it's still a far-fetched way as long as they are not, again, directly involved or benefited from those activities. So we still need to see more hints to calibrate the real impact of this possible scandal.

 

[Cigar-Ferras]

I wasn't meaning to include Quinn in the bulk of LI's, i probably should have written that better. It just seemed odd to me that Sage seemed to stand alone but Quinn was also there in the game and is a character Sage even tries to push you towards. Of course it could also be my OCD with numbers .... i hate odds ... always evens please! lol

 

[jcor34987]

One of the best right now. Waiting for more.

 

[Tserriednich'sNen]

Quinn's troubles doesn't seem to effect/involve Bella and Jill at all which might mean they'll have their own story line and troubles for MC to deal with.

Weak? Maybe but I wasn't looking for strong connections, merely looking to debunk your assertion that Bella and Jill weren't affected by Quinn's actions. A scandel of this nature on a college of this size (what's the highest dorm room number shown? The highest I remember is in the 70s during the second free roam)

 

[Traitus]

Yeah, he purchased Mona's services from Quinn but Mona couldn't go through with it. Thoough, I'm not sure Professor Burke is the dean.

Are you sure she didn't go through with it?
The sheets on that bed are the only ones that are not perfect in that house.

Whether she did or didn't go through with it seem irrelevent to me, what's more relevent is what she was told beforehand vs what he was told beforehand. She may have been expecting one of the Preps to want a blowjob whereas he may have been expecting her to be up for light BDSM and anal.

I fully admit that I'm succumbing to tunnel vision at this point but I see the Mona walk-out as further evidence that Quinn is crumbling under the financial weight of a debt she'll never be able to repay.

 

[Razrback16]

OK... one question before i download....is the story better or worse than Acting Lessons, for now, at least?

IMO, exponentially better.

The reason he can do anything to help is because he's the protagonist of this story, and protagonists always find a way, even when they're dragged into things that are completely outside their own personal sphere and seem impossible to overcome.

We've already seen that this will game force cetain things along the same narrative even if the player has had little involvement in it, and the Quinn situation is likely to be the same sort of thing. Having 2 separate yet hugely impactful moments for 2 different paths doesn't seem likely.

Are you sure she didn't go through with it?

What sheets and what bed? Mona emerges from a room downstairs that the MC never enters, so I don't know what you could be referring to here.

This one I guess :



If I remember correctly, the room is only available after Mona stormed out.
