Bah, I need to find my happy place, not rehash AL's sins. Anyone have some good light-hearted speculation for Season 3?
a good light-hearted speculation?

Maya's problem will be quickly resolved by Sage's parents. We imagine the worst because of what the MC has done, but let's not forget that it is not the MC who comes to ask for help.

It is Sage, their daughter, who asks for help, not even for herself but for someone else. Considering their position at college, it shouldn't be at all complicated for them to find a solution for Maya.

I think during episode 9 Maya will be freed from her father.


Otherwise to compare AL and BaDik (and be a little reassured). The story of AL revolves around fate and chance. The drama of the end of the game is unthinkable and inevitable. It does happen, but the player and the MC had no way to predict and avoid it. The whole story is like that. The story begins with the fate that sends the MC to this store at the time of a robbery. It's chance or fate (we call it what we want) that makes the best friend sick, and that takes everything together.
In BaDiK, that's not it (no offense to Jill), we are on a story that revolves around action / reaction, or to put it another way, we harvest what we sow. We have and we will have dramas that are not linked to the actions of the player / MC, but that we can solve by our actions (for example Maya's problems with her father). And we will have possible tragedies because of what we did.

Well I got 4 saves going, one for each relationship and all on Neutral affinity of 0. Pure neutral. I guess there is a 5th relationship option if you sleep around with everyone but thats too late for me to get.

I am assuming for the 3rd part of the game with the new launcher, we will have to wait until Summer 2022 for it to come out? The waiting is going to suck tbh.

Was there more to the sneak peak of the 3rd part other than just that girl on the surf board? Who was that?

So I finished the season with a whopping 1 chick point total (for hugging Derek probably) and I hope that when the Halloween party drops the moose boys can finally score with tri-beta girls. Their dismissiveness really worked on me so any content with them would be nice. More of Lily and the Quinn/Riona drama would also be great.

actually the relationship between Sage and his family has been rectified, or at least enriched with some nuance.

at the beginning, when Sage is sick and in crisis with Chad, it seems that the problem is her parents' anffectivity, which has disaccustomed her to open up emotionally. but then the problem is reversed, it's her who doesn't want to talk about her problems to her adoptive parents, because she doesn't want them to consider her as someone who always needs them, but as someone who can make it on her own.

I, as a comic book fan, consider this a pretty clear retcon.



here you are very wrong, my only role on this forum (and since I have no family I would say in life) is clearly another:
to be the first fan and prophet of Yuno Gasai , the rest is secondary

by the way I must admit that in the free roaming at the dorm party was the first time that KRJ seemed passable to me

there has been some technical progress, of course not yet sufficient to allow Jill to laugh in favor of the camera

Yuno Gasai hmmmm, these days every time I reply to you Felice I feel like I'm deprogramming a former cult member.

Now you're praising KRJ the horror . . . the horror

Okey so i found the right save game and MC and Kill are actually talking about her Husband, but Jill say's that she can not make MC understand without telling him things that she shouldn't tell him. There are also Photos around the House, so Jill definetly knows whats going on. She doesn't know what's in the closed room though. I THINK the comatose theory is off the table, but I'm not 100% sure. Whatever is in this room, she is also hiding it from Jill.
To me it sounds like Jill also knows what is in the room, she's just surprised it's locked. Hence why I never though it was anything "truly" bad, just something Bella doesn't want to share about her past until she's really ready and trusts the MC.

Most likely your download got corrupted.
I've downloaded the new 0.8.2 version from the DropMeFiles link in the OP. I didn't have any trouble unzipping it but when I try to run it this message appears :

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Dude, It's not even that crazy that someone in MC's shoes could get away with this. I know people who do similar stuff in real life. You're acting like I'm asking for dragons and rainbow cum. You're taking this way too seriously. It's a game that's supposed to give you an outlet to your fantasies. The MC has gotten away with it so far into the game. Suddenly, it's crazy to ask for him to keep his options open?
Agreed. It feels like it's not a popular opinion here but I'm just not a fan of playing a Ren'py game 5 times to get the full content. There's only so many times I can click through a free roam event, searching around the house, and consider it fun. And I love the free roam events, but they're fun the first time. I understand why people like the idea of committing to a single love interest, but I don't think this game is gonna be as enjoyable for me personally in future chapters. And it's not like most of the LIs haven't already been outlandishly naive for the first eight chapters.

You mean 0.8.0 I suppose.
I don't know if the Mac version posted on Dropmefiles is any good. I dowloaded the windows version with the torrent and build the mac version myself.
I don't mind downloading the Mac version now to see if I got the same error, but that will take a while (in fact, a really long while)
Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

Man, this Tara is such an eye candy. I wish she was introduced from episode 1.
It was fun but meh there are side girls then there are "siide girls" they sort of fit in the bracket of those that dream about the MC's D and hear all the stories. Background characters basically. However they ain't cool enough to get a chance at it, Sarah is probably messing with them and may have even charged them $$$$$ to use the glory hole... RIP Oliver

Meanwhile, on my Sarah :love: path, a pleasant surprise...

I don't know

let's start from the fact that MC should not know his mother's surname and that Neil should think it's a good idea to send him to the college founded by her family who hates him (but Neil with his evident neurodegenerative disease may not know it either), and already it would be a huge strain on the verisimilitude

it would not be the worst thing seen so far for sure
I agree, I'm not saying it would make sense for the MC not to already know (and comment) about the connection. I'm just saying it IS a way the connection could be used to serve a dramatic effect, which I had not considered possible previously.


a good light-hearted speculation?

Maya's problem will be quickly resolved by Sage's parents. We imagine the worst because of what the MC has done, but let's not forget that it is not the MC who comes to ask for help.

It is Sage, their daughter, who asks for help, not even for herself but for someone else. Considering their position at college, it shouldn't be at all complicated for them to find a solution for Maya.

I think during episode 9 Maya will be freed from her father.
Actually, I imagine the worst because we (the audience) know Burke is a sleazy piece of shit and if he learns why Maya needs the money he would be in an excellent position to blackmail her (for real, not the toothless Tybalt-style blackmail we just suffered through). I'm confident DPC wouldn't go through with such a scheme to the end, but he'd sure as hell wring some drama out of it first and I'm not anxious to see that.

Still, I like your starry-eyed optimism! Here's hoping! :D

Otherwise to compare AL and BaDik (and be a little reassured). The story of AL revolves around fate and chance. The drama of the end of the game is unthinkable and inevitable. It does happen, but the player and the MC had no way to predict and avoid it. The whole story is like that. The story begins with the fate that sends the MC to this store at the time of a robbery. It's chance or fate (we call it what we want) that makes the best friend sick, and that takes everything together.

We have and we will have dramas that are not linked to the actions of the player / MC, but that we can solve by our actions (for example Maya's problems with her father). And we will have possible tragedies because of what we did.
Perhaps. I'd argue AL seemed to be about our choices as well, until DPC dropped the boom on us. How BaDIK seems at the moment only goes so far.

I don't think BaDIK is going to do anything as dark as what AL did, but I'm more concerned about the means than the end. My problem with AL was never the choice itself. That sucked, but could have been a strength of the game if it had been handled correctly. My problem is that the choice wasn't adequately tied into the game itself by theme or by narrative. It was just something that happened completely out of the blue and knocked the final act of the game into an entirely different genre.

When I see DPC forcing us into an ill-fitting crossroads only to immediately introduce a whole new romantic complication in the closing montage, I worry that we're going to wind up overriding the fun parts of BaDIK that led us here so that DPC can tell the next part of his story. I don't want to start jumping at shadows, but I'm nervous.
