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

[tomwheeler]

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

 

[tomwheeler]

They're in the room on the right when you go upstairs and through the door in front of the stairs.

Yeah I looked in that room but they are not in there. It's just a nurse and some roller waitress. I have checked every room now and they are just gone.

 

[tomwheeler]

Once you're in that room, hover your mouse over the right of the screen and go right. They will be on the couches

That's what I'm saying. The couches are empty

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).

I apologize for being so gruff towards you earlier, none of my annoyance was intended for you it just spilled over. It was just exasperating for me to see another passive-aggressive comment from that business_casual dude,

Anyway, we already have a pretty good idea of Fuckface's beliefs and morals and they remain pretty stable irrespective of affinity. The CHICK path seems to reinforce the MC's character, making him blander in my opinion, and the DIK path appears to bend his ideals to allow for more experiences, good and bad. Most of us like the DIK path cause Fuckface takes less shit and even dishes the hits he takes, whereas on the CHICK path the MC is, to speak frankly, a bit of a whiny bitch.

With respect to the criminal elements, I'm sure we will see a contrast in behavior on each of the three paths. Personally, I would like the MC to become more destructive and malevolent on the DIK path, fulfilling Lily's prophecy at the HOT party.

This is the code that governs the "sleep on the floor" option:

if ep2_fuckedJosy and ep3_mayaLewd and renpy.variant("pc"):

So you had to have had sex with Josy at her house, then done Maya lewd scene in episode 3. I don't know if the variant requires you to be playing on a PC, or have the build you are on be forced to think it's on a PC. Are you on the Android port?

Thanks, I think that backs up my theory. So the scene with Maya in Episode 2 is irrelevant (for this trigger). And I believe the only Maya scene in Episode 3 is triggered by agreeing to help with the scavenger hunt.

But if you help her with the scavenger hunt you can’t get 100% in Episode 6.

So I have been trying for something that is impossible, Sleeping on the Floor in Episode 4 and the 100% scene in Episode 6 are mutually exclusive, you can’t do both in the same run.

Does that sound right?

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

some people like psychopaths, blame Baldur's Gate and Viconia for that

if you still have not found Sage, Bella and Jill and have nurse Becky talking to the other girl in that room next to the fish tank..then you have other things you need to do first. check your task list on your phone and do what is still there to do. i noticed at times i would get a task show up, go to do it, and have to do other tasks first before i could do the task i initially tried to do. hope this helps.

 

[tomwheeler]

Sounds like you still have a task to do to trigger the event. Check your phone for available tasks.

My phone only says to talk to Sage now. I tried running through on a second one of my playthroughs with a different main girl and yeah still no girls on the couch. I'm not sure if I should just redownload the game or not

 

[felicemastronzo]

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.

let's assume that MC's affinity indicates more how he is seen by others, rather than something about him directly, a kind of fame. the MC of the story is pretty much the same no matter what choice we make.

if MC is DIK it's not that he doesn't want to get involved in Maya's drama, but it's Maya who doesn't trust him enough. similarly if MC is CHICK it's not that he wants to keep his distance from Quinn and her shady dealings, but it's Quinn who doesn't think he's the right person to open up to.

I think you have some problems with your understanding of floor plans - the only bathroom on the first floor is next door to Tremolo's room (the Library), not Jamie and Rusty's.

Except MC is spying on them and is lying here.

That's what I'm thinking too. Like 90% sure. There's another option, the 10%, I've in mind: the Vixens. The dormies were on every party of the DIK's. In Ep9 we could see Avery talking to MC in Tara's ghost costume that they had something big. Maybe those girls are up to no good with the DIK's for some reason. They know the mansion and probably fucked with most of them. If I had to assume I would say the cafetria girl. Silent waters are deep and she's a little bit too silent for the group she associates with. We can see at her treatment of Gordon how she works.

Yes, they could be responsible for a lot of what happens. The main reason I don't suspect them is that they don't have an obvious motive. Perhaps it's as simple as revenge against the DIKs for something. That could explain the Alpha blackmail, the Cathy cluck, the video making it to Stephen and I think they are probably responsible for the blackout.

DPC is building a redemption arc for Quinn, it's clear in Ep.9.

What is better - to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort?" - Paarthurnax

Black humor

Death can also be a salvation for Quinn.

 

[dalli_x]

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.

Riona doesn't know about the gun and the relationship between Quinn and Riona isn't the best anymore, so Riona probably won't learn about the gun from Quinn either.

Riona will probably be responsible for the MC learning the secrets that Riona knows about.

I'm thinking more so that Quinn's ass depends on the MC's well-being. Why. Quinn's reaction on the roof is canon, whether the MC is DIK or CHICK, she is scared and worried. Quinn will relay this weapons information to a person who will make sure Vinny is no longer a problem.

Can anyone post the Maya preview please

 

[NebulousShooter]

We should just all unite and bully those who like naive little goblin princesses instead.

This, but unironically.

I think they love to make trouble. It's their kind of having fun.

That could explain the Alpha blackmail, the Cathy cluck, the video making it to Stephen and I think they are probably responsible for the blackout.

The blackmail thing is Quinn's doing in my opinion. She wants to get rid of Chad because Dawe is easier to play for her and that's the point why I'm 90% sure Quinn posted the cluck and only 10% to the Vixens. Quinn saw that Chad got despelled from his frat after beating up Tremolo. Rusty is against drugs at the DIK's mansion, especially at parties. If Rusty goes the Chad way Tommy would have become president of the DIKs.

About the video at Burke I go with the cloud server theory. The DIKs are using the university cloud to backup their files and Burke surfs in the clouds with admin rights. Because this pervert mofu searches for nudes of B&R students.

I think there is not many 30$ patrons here to do this

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 Ep8, Maya asked Josy in detail about life in HOTs mansion. The only problem that does not allow Maya to live there at the moment is the lack of a free room. Quinn's room is understandably not an option, and Sage's room is too small, even if she don't mind.

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.

There will be an obvious conflict of interest in every sense of the word. Sage is a Jade's "daughter". While Quinn works with Stephen, any revelation of Quinn & Stephen relations and their business will start the real storm. Quinn's drugs things will be a bonus as well. Jade hate Stephen and want a revenge. I think outcomes for MC will depend on whom side he taken. If he is with Sage, then he probably have to help her with Quinn and Stephen, while when he is with Quinn it will place him in much more shitty position. He will probably have to choice the side again - stay with Quinn and betray Sage or switch to Sage side finally. It adds some extra spice if MC was on Quinn's path, but chose Sage in the EP8 end.

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.

While J&M and Jill are antipodes for Quinn and block her path automatically - maybe it could be so. But Bella is the next one to Sage, who you able to romance with Quinn together and then dump Quinn later. Quinn was quite interested in "mummy" which joined the party and she even picked her for costumes competition probably for reveal purpose of who is she (or maybe she already had a clue and wanted a public Bella's reveal). So, if MC dumping Quinn while being on Bella branch, it could lead to a very cruel Quinn's revenge later.

And you can end up with Quinn having a Neutral affinity. Her last affinity check is in EP6, then you can stick back to Neutral.

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.

It will depend on how she treat MC - is he just an another chess figure to her or something more. The fact that she first of all tries to drag MC into her shit as a bodyguard (so as not to lose a bag of money or drugs again) hardly speaks of good intentions. Most likely, there will be only 2 path for Quinn - when the MC is with her, or when he chose someone else. It is also unlikely that Quinn's path will be divided into "good" and "bad" and it will most likely directly depend on the choice of Sage or Quinn's side. Although the ending like the one when Quinn "fixed", apologizes for all the shit to Sage and they all go off into the sunset together is not bad, but it's not a DPC style and smells like cheap cheesy plot.
