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

replaying the game and jill totally knows that there is something going on between mc and bella.

I ain't never played a massive chicky so I can't answer the question.

But chapter 4, should be the answer, because I'm pretty sure, whiny bitch is not a characteristic of a CHICK.

A massive chick MC pursuing Maya but not Josy would be rightfully upset that Maya lied about being in a relationship. The fact it was with Josy would be a cruel irony. He can even admit to overreacting and being a snowflake in his conversation with Derek afterwards, so I don't really see this as being all that unrelatable.

Granted, an MC pursuing Josy when he knows she is in a relationship would be somewhat unlikable - but a massive chick MC wouldn't have done that.

Nah, I hated the mc in AL. He was a cry baby old man who went total fucking bonkers because someone died.

Are you talking about...that one event at the near end of the game? Because somebody dying like that because you had to let them die (still upset by the fact athletic mc couldn't save both), as well as the kidnapping (IIRC, been a while since I played the game I admit) can be fuck somebody up.

But yeah, you do have a point about his relationships. The one with Megan in particular, and the way she enters a relationship with the guy who literally gives her a home to sleep in does give...kinda creepy vibe when I think about it, and the age gap doesn't help.

I reckon Tybolt has blown his chances with Jill. By forcing her hand with the blackmail, he's only pushed her interest further away. She even laughs along with Josy at TYbolt prosthetic teeth being knock out!

Rusty, he definitely made a bad first impression, I mean he should have at least read Romeo and Juliet! And although we didn't see it, we got the second hand story from Jill that they did have a date and he blew that too.

But the new and improved Rusty definitely seems Jill's type, even more so that the mc. So I'm gonna say Rusty.

I do wonder if all the "shipping" motherfuckers will get their day. When DPC's magnum opus finally comes to an end, will we get an epilogue coving every single character, LIs and others. That'd be cool. Of course not every one of them should be paired off, just generally how did they fair at college and what direction did it point them onto in life.

Unlikeable visually, or through his actions?

Visually he's pretty much on par with all the other weird looking mc's out there, and his actions, depending on your style of play, I thought he was more or less an ok dude.

One thing that I find typical in most of these games, is the mc is usually just a shell. He doesn't usually have too much of a personality, that way you can imagine your own preference there. In the games where they make the mc more aggressive, he almost always comes across as an asshole, but if they make him too nice, he comes off as a pushover.

It's rare (as in I've never seen it) that the mc is given a strong, positive personality. Maybe a backstory event that provides a strong emotional link to the mc would be useful (and the mc's sob story to Bella didn't really cut it), but that'd need to come up early on in the game at the risk of losing an audience that are there primarily for the porn.

CoBD probably does it better, but then really the mc is such a cliche, typical film noir character (DA took that to the extreme).

I think our current Rusty may well be the only choice for Jill, as I don't think our MC could ever really be that guy.

Better MC
Philly Games does make his characters a cliché, yet they are far more relatable as such. I liked Depraved Awakenings much much much better than DPC's freshman effort of Acting Lessons, and City of Broken Dreamers, the MC is much better than our whiney self indulgent proto DPC cunt here in BaDIK. When we can relate and laugh more with what our wingman does than what our bitch of a MC does, it demonstrates that there are issues.

Just a couple more games where the MC is better written:

Drifty Games- Leap of Faith- a great MC.
Life Happened- Main Character is not a "good" person, but you get a hand in his life and you live through some of his history.
Rebirth- You are making your character who he is, with certain constraints because you're a vampire

Good post Shazba
Peace

So...Jill, hook up with Tybalt or Rusty?

Jacob or one of my bros that would treat her decent. Rusty is for Cathy

At least the mc in BaDIK even cracks jokes about his dead mom. That's how you handle grief!

Knock knock...

Although I enjoy Quinn's character, she's not a nice person.

If she was your girlfriend, she would:

• Treat you like shit
• Fuck other guys
• Do whatever she wants and not even tell you about it half the time
• Make stupid decisions
• Steal your money
• Make you feel like everything is your fault
• Never apologise for what a cunt of a person she is
• Only show you affection when you're asleep
• Not give a shit about anything that you think is important

But other than that, life with her would be great!

Um no. Are you forgetting naivety is Jill's forte?

Sex life with her, maybe.

Quinn LI when?

Super cute, I'm in

 

[Arigon]

Quinn LI when?

I honestly do not think it is going to happen. I think she will be the tragic death DPC likes to put in his story.

 

[The Bush Diver]

any console commands to change MC from being called "bro" to "ass man"?

 

[goldenrule91]

I think it'll be Riona. She's super nice, everyone likes her (IRL and in-game, no one says anything bad about her) and she's heavily involved with the drugs. Plus there's the red flags with the stalker stuff. Pray for my girl

 

[TrollTimes]

So, so far being a DIK is still way more fun than being a CHIK? This path has most of the LIs and it definitely involves being faithful to them, but from what I'm seeing, so far, we're not given much incentive to. Especially when it comes to Jill, who's still severely lacking in content and as explained by others better than I could, her character arc ain't integrated to the main storyline like, say, Maya's.

The emotional payoff seems to be the main reason to play CHIK, but only god knows how long that will take. Personally, I'll only go for a CHIK path as soon as we get that first time with Jill.

I think Arieth dumbness needs to be fine tunned a bit. I understand she's meant to be dumb as a comic relief, but I don't believe she doesn't know how to cook canned soup while in college.

Ok Shaz... I'll bite.

• Not a girlfriend yet and apart from pranks, never mistreated MC
• No evidence whatsoever she's fucked anyone other than MC
• True
• She yelled at MC for being stupid with his money
• She had a chance while MC went to get her a beer. She didn't
• She already apologized in the first couple episodes
• She'll warm up eventually
• Nope

you do realize the soup she was trying to make was a can of dog food right???

Are you serious? I swear it passed me by, do you have picture? I honestly was paying attention to Quinn hehe.

 

[derek.is.the.key]

DPC just gave Quinn a hangout scene with MC, so in my pov Quinn's a LI(granted you're in her path), the question tho is the end game, of course its early to tell but for all the shenanigans shes getting into...

wish DPC could give other side girl a hangout scene with MC, but i doubt it.
