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

[sampow]

I can't imagine such a situation in real life. Guy has been dating a girl for a year or two, he is not at all interested in her, they don't have sex, their relationship is only for status. I understand that it may be important to emphasize the status of a pair of HOTs-alpha presidents, but in this situation where Chad has no interest in Sage, more realistic scenarios are:
1. They break up after a few months.
2. Sage would start cheating on him. (Sage did, but it was a titter that Chad was cheating on her).

The fact that Sage maintained this unhealthy relationship for so long is like an obsession with Chad, she was madly in love with him. We remember that Sage can be very passionate. But this already crosses all the boundaries of the real life logic.
Although yes, this is a DPCs universe, everything is possible here.
A hot girl with high libido like Sage abstaining from sex, an ex who hasn't had sex in a year in San Diego, a lesbian who suddenly realizes she likes guys. Really, magic world.

But we don’t know how long they’ve been together. The flashback to Sage talking to Chad about Halloween doesn’t indicate they were together then, it just shows Chad’s lack of interest even then. So saying they’ve been together for a year or more may add weight to what you’re saying, but it’s not a fact. They may have only been together for 3 months. We don’t know.

Maya isn’t a lesbian. She’s bi. That’s not hard to believe. She found that she’s attracted to more effeminate guys (she says as much to the mc).

Zoey has sex with the mc since early adulthood annd we get the impression he was her first, and that’s all we know about her sex life. She went over to San Diego with the intent for the mc to meet up with her, so for her to just start fucking other people doesn’t make sense. Then when she distanced herself from the mc, she could have gotten into another relationship, but she didn’t. And then she came back.

To me it seems DPC has left Sage’s, Bella’s, Zoey’s and Josy’s past sexual exploits rather vague, so people can fill in the blanks however they want. If you want to believe Zoey hooked up a few times in San Diego, there’s nothing countering that, nor is there anything indicating she did. Same goes for all the other girls. Just believe whatever makes sense to you.

If your on a computer and it's windows just unren it. It extracts all the images from the game. (Just look in the game\image directory)

you wounldn't happen to know how to unren cg would you?

I don't think she loved Chad, they were together for status, and she probably found Chad attractive, he's president of a frat, it's natural for her to be interested in him, they always talk about tradition, and Chad was pressured to accept, the girl is all over him all the time, he can't keep refusing forever or people will have doubts about his sexuality, and it's possible that she was after him for a long time before he accepted, and when he accepted he used the excuse of impotence due to steroid use.

And from Sage's past we know that she has issues with rejection and abandonment, so I believe what made her fixated on Chad, was the fear of being abandoned again, she put up with him purely to not be abandoned, with Chad rejecting her advances, she had doubts about herself, if she was good enough for him, so she tried harder in the relationship.

Anyway, that's how I see their relationship, for those who want to imagine that she never had sex with Chad, we can imagine that's where it all started, they tried, he failed, and she started to have doubts about herself, then started being the perfect girlfriend to have his affection, so she doesn't get abandoned.

I made a comment yesterday about Quinn having no character development and some guys recommended I play her route. I don't like the idea of being forced to play a certain route to witness certain events.

If Quinn only shows character development in her route then it's no use since not everyone plays her route. This brings me to another downside that I think this game has... some events seem to be locked into certain routes.

I felt drawn to go down Isabella's route just to find out what happened to her husband, but until episode 9 nothing was explained. Crazy respect for all you guys who have multiple saves for each route.

I don't have the patience to play this game from scratch just to see another dozen new images.

This game is meant to be played that way, so really you're just detracting from your experience with the mindset you currently have. You don't have to play that way but then it's like trying to use a hammer to screw in a nail, everybody is going to wonder what the hell you're doing.

*Edit: sorry, I'm tired I meant "use a hammer on a screw" not "screw in a nail" smh*

 

[Deleted member 6168082]

I don't even wanna imagine how she'd react if she finds out if MC messes with somebody else. Or Sage lol

I would assume she'd do something like the Nurse did in AL... but you won't get to choose anything once she's done.

 

[kambblamca]

It's realistic that way though, if you don't get to know someone then you won't know anything about them. If you want to see everything about everyone on one playthrough you want a kinetic novel not a visual novel where choices matter.

It's hard for me to play other routes for many reasons. The main reason is that I have a certain kind of OCD when it comes to "campaign" games. Once I experience a game's campaign in a certain way, I can't play it any differently the next time I play the game's "campaign" from scratch.

It's like my brain refuses to continue playing because this different way is not recognized by me as the correct way. Crazy huh?

In other words, when playing this game for the first time, I followed Isabella's route and now if I try another route my brain will make me discouraged from continuing to play because my brain only recognizes Isabella's route as the "correct way to play". It sounds funny, but it's really sad... I can't consume most of the sex scenes because of my problem.

If you don't play Quinn's path you won't be able to get close to her to get to know her, the way she acts in public and private is different.

In public she wears the front of a strong and independent girl, in private she is a girl who is lonely and wants affection, she is under pressure and needs a shoulder to lean on.

Quinn shows her development even if you're not in her path, but you see less, for example, you can see at the end of ep9 that she regrets her decisions, apologizes, knows she has to change.

I recommend doing a gameplay in Quinn's path, it's one of my favorites.

I hope this OCD of yours extends beyond porn games, but if it doesn't, I really didn't think I'd be using this a third time in 24 hours. Yet, here we are...

It's also the case that she's only on her route because of the MC. If he doesn't push her that way, she won't GO that way.

 

[Chaosguy]

you wounldn't happen to know how to unren cg would you?

Not hard, just copy/unzip unren into your main game directory with exe file in it. Double click the unren.bat file (I use UnRen-1.0.10.bat) and press 1. Wait until it's finish's and your images are in the game/image directory.

There's a lot of push-pull going on with Quinn, that's for sure. She's pulling the MC's pigtails, and expects him to do the same.

But we don’t know how long they’ve been together. The flashback to Sage talking to Chad about Halloween doesn’t indicate they were together then, it just shows Chad’s lack of interest even then. So saying they’ve been together for a year or more may add weight to what you’re saying, but it’s not a fact. They may have only been together for 3 months. We don’t know.

Sage publicly courting Chad for years and then when he gives in she was accepting a platonic relationship for months is not that much of a better prospect....

As for Maya, this is plausible, she didn't reveal her sexuality and for a long time couldn't understand who she was.

It's handy when you don't have information about the characters' backgrounds to come up with it yourself, but about Sage, I would like to get more answers about her past. I really hope that Ep.10 will give more answers, as I expected from Ep.9.

While everything points to a platonic relationship between them, I just can't wrap my head around it. In one of the flashbacks, we see the DIKs at the beginning, when it was just Rusty and Tommy. And they tried to convince Sage to let the HOTs join their parties. She was already with Chad then. And it seems like at least two years have passed since then, before Fuckface joined the B&R. Because there are at least two generations of DIKs. Sage was a nun for two years, would you believe it? What is she, that redhead from BaRS, who pounced on the MC like a hungry beast, and then turned out to be an innocent and shy delicate flower?

If I'm not wrong, this flashback is about HOT's only partying with Alphas, and “tradition” is mentioned several times throughout the game.

For me this just reinforces the fact that Sage wants/has to stay with an Alpha, it is tradition for HOT's and Alphas to stay together, at least it was like that before.

As for them interacting in the past, we've also seen Sage and the MC together, planning a party between HOT's and DIK's, even though they're not a couple, so the fact that she interacted with Chad in the flashback doesn't mean they were a couple, imagine a new student seeing the MC and Sage talking, will he take it for granted that they are a couple?

I don't remember the exact dialogue in this flashback, if there is confirmation that they were a couple, that will resolve this discussion.

Yep, you're right, just watched that scene again, no evidence they were already a couple, Chad was just marking his territory as a tri-alphas president, driving the arrogant newbies away from the HOTs, he showed no interest in Sage herself.

There are a few half hints in the game as to how Sage has lived all this time. Whether or not you go Sage's way, she still tells Chad that she cheated on him. Quinn, on the other hand, says that Sage has had experiences with girls, so if there was cheating, it was lesbian cheating.

Pretty sure sage says she tried to cheat on Chad with someone. (Not on sage route or didn't fucked her) I guess you are playing with mods. I am pretty sure sage did some experimenting with other hots and maybe fucked one or two guys(In her first year or high school? (Since she did said that guys doesn't normally reject her but then she is also the popular kind and is obviously attractive, so she knows how she looks). It also possible she only banged Chad even if he is gay. it not uncommon for gay men to have sex with women or vice versa.
Ps- Sage has huge amounts of sextoys and is sexually frustrated. She also seems to have higher sexual libido for now due to a sexless relationship and constant masturbation but I think it will die down after awhile. (Realistically speaking)

Quinn in pigtails would be adorable.

That is all.
