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

[dontehall2023]

We might not have NTR in BaD (yet), but DPC has done it before that someone else gets one of the LI's in the end (as long as you don't end with her).

It could be that besides a nice ending to the story, he also did that to see how his playerbase handles with LI's getting other people, and that he's going to use BaD to push those boundaries a bit further.

My hope is still a harem. From what I can tell, that's not DPC's MO. But a man can dream. Who hasn't graduated college with a harem of beautiful women?

I just want to see who gets shot. The gun card has been played and has to be used

Rusty, Derek or Neil would be the most dramatic but since all of those are actually possible and not in any way insane im going with Arieth

Besides... DPC used the 'give your blessing to a bro' approach with Zoey and Jacob. I don't think this will go anywhere since Zoey seems uncomfortable with the idea of having a relationship with a friend of the MC.

DPC must have been testing the waters with this choice and if we're going to analyze how this choice ruined our boy Jacob in the eyes of some players DPC will probably drop any similar ideas in the future.

I don't think DPC will do anything similar to what he did in AL in Being a DIK. He received death threats when he was just an unknown developer, nowadays times are different... He is the biggest name in the scene, he won't play God just because he can. (I hope...?)

The death threats probably had more to do with making you choose which LI lives and which one dies.

I know people were angry about "the choice", but I didn't read anything about them being angry for the LI to get another relationship.
Also I knew he was big, but didn't know he was the biggest. Just looked at his patreon and compared him with 3 other famous names (at least for me) and damn, he has triple the amount of paid members as the number two (oppai).

The closest we get I think is either the others route, or we're going to get a Become a Rock Star or Melody for example situation, where you can lose (near) all LI's if you're going for multiple LI's at the same time.

Those people should be in a psych ward. Death threats over fictional characters.....

James comes back from the army, but during his prison time he changed a bit and now they are an effeminate gender fluid cock hungry slut, using pronouns they/them. They (James) will still make love to Bella but only when she grows her funatari dick on full moon days. So James will be passive and sodomized by Bella, that's not netorare because they won't fuck Bella's hole. Bella's holes will remain exclusive use of Tremolo, who in turn will concede his pristine arse to Bella's girly cock. Still not netorare according to the Rules.

Sorry if I spoiled too much plot.

 

[hakuna-matata]

James could also be Madame Rose. That's why Bella doesn't know where he is.

I think I expressed myself wrong... I meant that DPC will not take anything he created in AL into consideration when creating Being a DIK (including pairing up with ex-girlfriends, deaths and heavy dramas).

Funny how both of those "testing the waters" moments were between a black dude and a blue haired chick.

Fetish, maybe...? (BBC)

My comment was more in jest. There's plenty of harem games out there. I like the singular choice this game provides. Also promotes multiple playthroughs. Reminds me of RPGs with multiple LIs. Playing the game multiple times to see how the relationship develops.

Will DPC repeat the same scene of Josy knocking on Maya's door in EP.3 when they make James' return? MC will develop a phobia of doors if that happens.

Since there is a possibility that James won't have a big role outside of Bella's route, his return could be very anticlimactic and not live up to expectations at all.

It depends a little on what you mean by important outside Bella's run.

it will be a canon event, so in any case it will involve MC and the others, like Maya's loan. so it's not even said that MC's role will be marginal even if not sentimentally involved.

there's always the grim prophecy of the third chapter, so I don't think it's going to be a cakewalk

This but with BG3. But I always end up choosing Shadowcute as my LI every time

 

[Ostap Bender]

The thought has been on my mind for a bit when sage graduates, who will take over the HOTs?
Quinn is likely to be gone and Heather is likely the same year as Sage.

I believe it will be Elena taking over as President with maybe Maya or Josy being VP


We do know that for the HOTS, Tommy may be gone
So Rusty as President and MC as VP?

Maya will take over the HOTs (or what'll be left of them) after Sage graduates and Quinn drops out. Then she will turn the sorority into a nest of stuck-up, uppity feminists, where no fun is allowed

 

[NebulousShooter]

James has to come back, otherwise the whole mystery would make very little sense. but it won't be easy at all, and DPC's lack of empathy doesn't make me particularly optimistic.

if James had actually been held against his will while doing something important, something ‘noble’ then Bella's character would come out with broken bones, there would be so much cheap drama (James desperate, Bella desperate, MC desperate...)

solutions to avoid this situation are possible (James deserter making a life for himself on the beaches of Phuket..) we'll see what happens in 2000never

This would still be a cool moral dilemma for the Bella enjoyers.

Edit: while looking for that I got a few more glimpses of my totally cured, past madness

Ah okay, I also like that. I wouldn't mind a harem ending in this game, but it should be either be with (near) everyone but extremely hard to get (aka some kind of "parody" ending, just like the dog ending in Silent Hill) because it simply doesn't seem to fit this game, or only with a small group of them (let's say 3 or 4 girls), with at most 2 (in case of M/J) or 1 of your main interest.

I'm currently going for a route that seems to fail for MC in the long run (no sex, get as low RP as possible with everyone, including the DIKs). That is going to be 1 bummer ending, if it doesn't lead to an early game over.

Maya will take over the HOTs (or what'll be left of them) after Sage graduates and Quinn drops out. Then she will turn the sorority into a nest of stuck-up, uppity feminists, where no fun is allowed

That last sentence will imo only happen if she and Josy either break up, or are in a massive argument beyond repair to their relationship. Josy will otherwise make her way less of a stuck-up.

Josy makes everything and everyone better, even if some don't have the balls to admit it!

Except for MC when you're not on her route, then she's just a stalker (or even worse Leah) in the making.

The closest I have to this path is my virgin Zoey route. And that was not easy to complete. I created a sub-path where I was "forced" to accept Riona at the end. The Halloween party & the jealousy angle were just too much for me. I'm curious if there's going to be a major difference between getting Riona here versus starting her content at the restaurant.

Mon espoir est toujours d'avoir un harem. D'après ce que je peux dire, ce n'est pas le mode opératoire de DPC. Mais un homme peut rêver. Qui n'a pas obtenu son diplôme universitaire avec un harem de belles femmes ?
