Eh, I don't think those are particularly strong examples. Quinn not wanting Tommy to take the blame is purely a hypothetical matter, and technically she wound up accepting Tommy's offer (including the part about being the fall guys).
And on the Tommy fallout in particular, how is that an example of her having a conscience? All she had to to was apologize for her blatantly obvious fuckup, and she still refused to do so! The fact that Quinn is sad about the situation doesn't automatically mean she's secretly feeling guilty; she may just want something she can't get. Even if she IS feeling secretly guilty, that still means she's actively suppressing her conscience, which is a substantial problem as well.
I hadn't really thought about it before, but the reveal of Sage's family makes Quinn look much worse in retrospect. Running a prostitution ring under Sage's nose is already plenty bad. Doing so with Sage's father as the main client is on another level entirely.![]()
My proposition was that Quinn has a conscience and isn't a psychopath - a rather modest claim, I thought.
The fact that in the first example she ends up accepting Tommy's offer is less important than that she initially resists it, in my view. She says she likes Tommy and wouldn't want the DIKs to get blamed. Why even mention that if the deal suits her agenda?
In the second scene I cited she's sad about the argument with Tommy and maybe feels guilty about it, though she can't or won't say as much. Again, why would she even be sad about it though if Tommy was just a pawn to be sacrificed in service of her money-making goals?
Both moments suggested to me that Quinn genuinely thought of Tommy as a friend, which is why her conscience was pricked both times. True, she doesn't act on it, but suppressing those feelings doesn't mean they aren't there.
No matter what Quinn's backstory is, she's still a cunt. Every cunt in this world has a back story:i would say he is the owner or at least a major partner and of course being owner/partner has his perks, like eating for free
another thing, i think people is being too harsh with quinn. we still dont know the full story and we dont know if she does what she does because she wants it or because she is trapped in that life. when she gets beat up and robbed and goes to the dik mansion, she looks defeated, sad, worried. i think that if she liked that life she would be angry, pissed about losing the package and the money of that and she doesnt. even MC notices that. i dont think quinn is a bad girl, she's probably one girl stucked in a shitty life and she cant get out all by herself.
- They are psychologically incapable of empathy (i.e. psychopath),
- their dad fucked them in their sleep as a kid (F95 girls),
- they were poor and no one helped them out,
- their brain is just simply fucked up...
Doesn't mean we can't enjoy Quinn.
The only time I felt bad for Anthony was when the mc beat him up along with the other jocks. It's not like he was coming along to beat the mc up, but he got kicked in the face before he even knew what was going on.damn, i miss "dancing with the retardeds"![]()
sometimes i feel bad for anthony, he is retarded but at the same time i think he is not a bad guy, just have bad company
The mc is really going for it in that last shot!tbf on Anthony, I have to say I've seen the MC doing some real "dancing with the tards" too

Where did you get that impression from? In the scene where she hands over money to Buddy, it's the earnings from her latest sales, he then comes back and hands back her take. She works for Buddy.People have shitty lifes and jobs for many different reasons, it's never that easy.
It's implied she gives Buddy money for her father, so she is taking care of him.
What kinda woman actually stops their daughter from learning self defence? Dumb bitch.All I heard was I don't understand what psychological manipulation is. What quinn is doing is no different from when my shitty ex told my daughter she'd be punished if she didn't drop out of tae kwon do. After all, she's not physically forcing her to stay home. It's totally a choice.![]()
A lot of people seem to find it hard to differentiate between the reliable narrator vs the unreliable/fallible characters.Uhmmm... that's what we in the biz call a lie. It was a convenient excuse to prevent Tommy from asking further questions, nothing more. If Riona really had been smoking away their profits, Quinn wouldn't have said she didn't know why they were short back when they first realized it in Episode 3. At a minimum, it would have given Quinn a better comeback than slapping Riona.
I guess it can be confusing if the entire story is purely driven by character dialogue, but ultimately the only person who we can rely on as telling the truth is the mc.
So many of the characters in this game are deceitful assholes. Quinn is definitely up there near the top of that list. You seriously can't trust anything she says. She lies to cover her ass as much as she lies for her own enjoyment.
It always annoys me when people believe something must be true just because a character said it. Some examples:
- Tybalt suggesting Trent was going to sue (no one was going to sue anyone, it was a bluff - Trent wasn't even involved),
- Maya thinking her dad was going to destroy her credit rating with a preposterous loan scenario (once again, it's probably a bluff).
- A lot of people didn't pick up at the time that Jill was lying about wanting her first time to be perfect even though she pretty much spelled it out later on in the same scene.
