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

[STNeish]

what is so interesting about quinn? the others are more realistic characters. quinn isn't interesting just because she's a drug trafficking madame lol. are you just one of those people who likes it when people add tons of negative characteristics to a character because you think it makes them deeper somehow? lol.

I think Quinn's appeal has several layers.

First, she's physically attractive. Part of this is a unique and dynamic personal style.
Second, she's unapologetically sensual. She likes sex, and is happy to indulge in it.
Third, she's a powerful personality, taking charge of situations and showing strength of character when facing adversity. Some men like dainty women who need them, other men like strong women who are more challenging.
Fourth, she's in over her head. I call this the "White Knight" effect. I believe men have an evolutionary drive to protect the female. Many, even most of us, love the idea of coming to the rescue of the damsel in distress. As with HARLEY Quinn, this Quinn is in a bad situation and we want to rescue her from it... even though she made it happen to herself (with Joker, Harley is trapped in a situation not of her making, unlike BaDik's Quinn).

These are the core attributes, I think... at least for me.

i dont see how quinn is at all likeable. she is a psychopath. chaotic evil. lawful evil at best.

Quinn has no redeeming qualities. A sad backstory does not justify evil actions to others. You can have a complex character with a redemption arc without making them a complete piece of shit.

I find Quinn interesting in that she plays differently depending on what track you are on. For MJ, she is the cause of most of Maya's worries about whether she can stay in college, and is what is stopping her from moving in to the HOTs house and saving the money she has to spend on dorm fees. The fact that Josy doesn't have a problem being in the HOTs house with Quinn there drives a wedge between her and Maya on every track. In Sage's track, she's the duplicitous backstabber threatening everything Sage has done to make the HOTs successful even though Sage trusts her to do the right thing for the girls in the sorority, yet another of Sage's blind spots that potentially will bring her down as well if something goes wrong with Quinn's business ventures. If MC is on either of these tracks he's going to get pulled in and possibly down by Quinn's actions. Quinn doesn't have much of a role in the Jill or Bella paths other than causing background chaos, and neither of them are going to be in your path unless you are CHICK/Neutral which Quinn hates. That may play a factor later on when Quinn sets you up to take the fall for something she's done, or doesn't warn you about something that's about to go down, perhaps having to do with Vinny. For MC on a DIK path she can become a totally different character as her attraction to MC grows and she begins opening up, something she never does with any guy, and there can be a real relationship with her. Very well written and an intriguing component to the story.

I have a feeling that Riona is a way the DPC will use to save the MC's skin when Quinn doesn't like him for being CHICK. For example, if Quinn tells the DIK MC that Vinny has a real gun and doesn't tell the CHICK MC, then Riona will tell the CHICK MC about the gun.

Scat is also a fetish for some.

We don't even have to worry about it... Do you think that DPC has assassin's blood, son? Believe me, no one will die in BaDIK.

I just thought in her case, it would actually be a kindness. Save Darwin the trouble..

Never played Acting Lessons by DPC then did you?

I said no one would die in BaDIK... never once did I mention Action Lesson. Learn to read first before playing the skewer.

 

[StultusAnglicus]

I don't know if I wanna see the mc's grandparents in the story...

Fair, already a lot of characters in the story as it is, I'd be happy with them not turning up so long as the plot/story is still satifying. In fact I'd hate it if they are added to the story and it doesn't actually "add" anything.

??? are you able to read lol
she is a drug trafficker
she is a madam
she is a sex trafficker
she is a big meanie

nothing to do with me liking or disliking quinn. they are facts about her from the story.
play it lol if you dont know this. they dont hide it.

Sigh. Bruh. She is bad news, we heard you the first 10 times. My point still stands, you're adding nothing new to this thread.
The worst bit is I can't decide if you're trolling or just genuinely one of those people. All the social graces of a reversing dump truck without any tyres on.

Do you guys know what turns me off? Seeing the MC dragged into trouble he didn't create.

* Lily and the girls from The Pink Rose are no longer Vinny's clients.

* Lily and the girls from The Pink Rose become Quinn's clients, in other words: Quinn stole Vinny's clients.

* Vinny suspects that Quinn has stolen his clients and goes to meet Quinn at the DIK mansion.

* Vinny, not satisfied with just talking to Quinn, decides to visit his old room and get into an argument with the MC.

* Vinny pulls a gun on the MC and accidentally puts himself on the MC's radar.

* MC finds out that Tommy bought weed from Vinny and that he can't involve the police.

* Tommy being the same old pussy tells the MC that the gun was fake and tells Quinn that the MC should never know the truth.

In other words, the MC will be dragged into this shit one way or another. Regardless of whether he's on Quinn's route or not, now he's going to have to deal with drug dealers because Tommy is a fucking stoner and a bunch of sluts who make their living rolling on other guys' dicks in a cheap club want to be able to buy the cheapest marijuana. Does the DPC ever stop to think that he's also going to be dragging a CHICK MC into this mess? Why does CHICK MC deal with shit like that if he doesn't even use drugs?

An even bigger question is HOW a CHICK MC will deal with it.

 

[BeingADikDik]

Exactly how Jill would handle it. Go crying to the authorities (i.e., Stephen Burke) and get fucked in the process.

It is said that the DPC already had the complete BaDIK script even before developing the game... I have my doubts. If he actually drags the MC into this shit between Quinn and Vinny when the MC can just be a MASSIVE CHICK it becomes clear that the DIK/CHICK alignment the DPC created is of no importance.

Or, hear me out, these are events beyond Fuckface's control so his affinity can only affect how he reacts to the situation brought upon him by others; individuals who don't work for the MC's agenda. CHICK MC is still a DIK and, as Jacob won't stop fucking repeating, "family comes first". Their problems become his problems becoming our problems because this is more than just a novel or movie, it's a game. The unwanted drama in the script gives us a reason to play and explore different paths.

Could he have written it better? Definitely, there are very few in this thread who would argue with you there. Has he done a pretty decent job considering all the variables he's working with alone? In my opinion, he has. You may disagree but at the end of the day, you're playing the game. That's all DPC wants from you so your doubts don't really matter. I mean, you could always pay him, speak to him of your doubts, then see if he gives a shit but he probably won't. If he does, let me know, I got some shit I'd like to speak with him about.

 

[Deleted member 1044901]

it's only important for the girls you fuck and what situations you get to be in. there's not much customization to the story... just some of the things along the way.

JHEEZUS, my guy, you sound like my daughter when she decides to complain, nitpick, and whine simply for the sake of complaining. The only difference is you take a page out of Captain America's book and think it's necessary to complain all day, whereas she just goes for a few minutes before pulling herself together like the grown-ass woman she is.

We get it, you're a savant and we're all idiots. Now let us horny bastards fuck and develop Stockholm for our sex-and-drug trafficking evil future baby momma.

I had never looked at it from that perspective. I always imagined that the MC would avoid such situations depending on whether he was DIK or CHICK, but I see I was wrong. The DIK/CHICK alignment should really only be responsible for defining whether the MC's personality is compatible with the girls (Jill and Bella preferring CHICK / DIK for Sage, Quinn and others). DPC should have in mind what beliefs and morals the MC will show regardless of the alignment being DIK/CHICK. Which will allow all MCs, whether CHICK or DIK, to get involved in the criminal world either for their own benefit or to protect his family (DIK brothers).

Is there a bug where I can't find Sage to start the truth or dare section of the halloween party? I looked at the guide and it says she is upstairs with Bella, Josy and Maya but they are not there
