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

[BigTTiger]

There is no best path but the dik-all-the-time path is probably the worst.


You'd be surprised how often (in fact more often than not) bullied people become bullies themselves later in life.

hurt people hurt people

 

[Riaman]

Agreed on first half, but hell nah. I'm never leaving a single cent inside that thing after Nick stole me.

just before Baileys visit invest into chemicals. It was shock only on the first run I did after update. Though learnt how to play triple tiles because of that.

 

[Takkatakka]

I have no idea why people hate the fish so badly. It's free $2-5 multiple times per episode with just a few clicks. Way simpler and faster than the other stupid puzzles or the brawler.

I have not a single save in which they worked out for me. I clean the damn thing, I feed them and all they do is getting sick or dying until I give up.

MC does actually, if you're on Quinn's path. She tells him that she sells drugs. And since Vinny also goes to the same place and MC literally sees him there, even a dumb as bricks MC could put two and two together.

MC may only know about the drugs in Quinn's route, but what about the other routes? When DPC adds something to the plot, we need to look at it from the most extreme possible perspective. If the MC has no connection with Quinn, Lily or Riona and has never punched Vinny then Vinny and MC don't even have a hate relationship, like I said just a failed first interaction.

It could also of course be that Quinn asks Tommy for help or just simply contacts him with what she's been up to and Tommy in turn asks MC for help to save her ass.

Unlikely, MC may not have any relationship with Quinn. If Tommy is in danger, it could happen.

In all cases, he trashed his room, called him a dog and pull a gun under his nose even if the Mc tries to defuse the situation. It's more than starting thing on the wrong foot, the guy is a dick to you no matter what you do.

Vinny was an asshole, no doubt about it. But if MC didn't make things worse, I don't see any reason for Vinny to hold a grudge against MC.

Not really. Even without the restaurant we would still have the tuition plotline since Maya still needs money to be able to study. If it wasn't the restaurant, he would've thought of some other ridiculous way for Maya to get the money instead.

Anything but finding a job

 

[Riaman]

It just isn't. It is an open story, DPC could've just written slightly differently. Quinn could've been Maya's antagonist without that part and the free tuition could've been just a rumor, Quinn deliberately exploited to toy with people. None of that need the prostitution.

Well that was the first fafo moment for Quinn, after knowing a prude and less sexually experienced girl like Maya isn't suitable for prostitution ring she kept messing with her just fun, it was ingenuity of Josy and Arieth being Arieth that Quinn failed to get video proofs of those activities.

 

[Chillout1984]

They can share me, along with Bianca.

If you do that, you will almost certainly lose Cindy but gain Rio and Bianca...

Unlikely, MC may not have any relationship with Quinn. If Tommy is in danger, it could happen.

Not really. Tommy probably gained respect from MC thanks to backing him up during the Nick situation among other things. MC also gained respect from Tommy a lot especially in season 3. MC will be happy to help Tommy even if he doesn't really care about Quinn.

I doubt that, since she also offers them to others. That would be a disaster for Stephen if he actually would be behind that because it would come out far too easily. And what leverage does Quinn even have. The girls would learn very quickly that Sage doesn't know about it and wouldn't condone it and then Quinn would be done for.

Again: It is just a bad plot point that actually does more harm than good to the story and the whole Mona plot could've been done differently (or cut completely) and very little to nothing would've been lost while it would've enhanced the believability of the story to begin with.

Take Quinn for example: With this plot point, she is just not redeemable anymore. She coerced young women to have sex for money and then taking the money from them. There is just no ambiguity about that. It is just evil and bad. Without that plot point, she would've been a bit of an asshole and would deal light drugs. While that isn't good, it would make her a lot more ambiguous as a character who can still return and do good, without having a permanent mark on her.

And Sage also looks bad in this. Her "daughters" get pimped out under her nose from someone she - for no apparent reason - trusts and thinks is a perfectly fine successor to herself, even though Quinn belies that assessment at every turn and openly so.

Quinn was never made to be redeemable dude. She was always made to as obscure, shady and nasty as possible. She was made to be polirizing to the extreme, you would like her and look through her bullshit or you would hate her for what she does to both herself and others.
The extreme of this is the latest chapter heart to heart MC had with Quinn in her path and how she described her relationship with Riona.

This is why she is the only main character that can die in the plot. DPC created her for such and every little piece of writing he did on her cohaborated to this, he even made her path be difficult to reach since he made the two first LIs be a road block to her path. And if you are not on Quinn's path, she will die. That's my take.

 

[Bazsa4]

If you do that, you will almost certainly lose Cindy but gain Rio and Bianca...

Well if I gotta choose, you can guess who I'm choosing...

I have NEVER failed a single fish minigame in ALL FOUR playthroughs of mine, it's way too easy to tell you the truth.

Well in failed Loan paper heist case they finally agreed to the Chad grindset of faking it till making it. (Hiding their relationship), lets be real Economics isn't the strongest forte of Maya, or else she would know there is nothing as a free lunch.

 

[saynotoNTR]

Not really. Tommy probably gained respect from MC thanks to backing him up during the Nick situation among other things. MC will be happy to help Tommy even if he doesn't really care about Quinn.

I'm sure Quinn would rather die than receive help from CHICK MC, but OK.

 

[Chillout1984]

Well if I gotta choose, you can guess who I'm choosing...

Looking at your profile, the same choice I will easily make, no question about it.

 

[Bazsa4]

Quinn was never made to be redeemable

I refuse to accept that.

Is it possible to stay a fuck buddy for sage? My guy falls for her without giving me any options.

If you played that path, you should realize that that is exactly the story that DPC is trying to tell here and that story would be working much better without the prostitution.

The whole Riona bit would've worked just as is without the prostitution with Quinn just exploiting here as a sub dealer.

Maybe, I need to buy all the stupid upgrades for it to work? But they are so expansive to begin with...

 

[TomUK]

Dammit. second time I've uploaded the wrong file today.
And I haven't had at all.

Finally got around to playing this save, but unfortunately it's not going to turn out well with Sage as the mc has fucked Jade in that save.
