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

[Chillout1984]

And everything else Bella does? She hears that his mother died giving birth to him and his name. Why does she still treat him roughly after that? Why doesn't she start taking his side then and there? And why keep it from him? If Bella knows, why doesn't she tell him?

No even if you can make some scenes fit it's not enough unless everything fits. And this scene is so vague you can fit anything in it. All it tells us is that James wasn't the only reason for her crying.

That's easy to explain: For some reason currently unknown to us, she is trying to keep it hidden and is trying to treat him like she would any other student/friend.
It's when she becomes emotional that she lets that mask fall and we see her true feelings.

What we see is young bella, current bella is prime bella.

Your years between 25 - 40 are prime and then fall off

And an example of such a reason would be?

 

[iamcomming]

I mean to be fair, the ultimate goal was to get the frat closed down.
By spreading the already posted cathy nudes from the DIK tweet, she hoped to bring down the DIKs, not knowing that Cathy gave them a second chance.

They are bitches though, but we should not become like vinny.

the goal doesnt justifies the method, if it is against innocents like avery'sister or Cathy.

 

[Chillout1984]

And an example of such a reason would be?

She made some kind of promise to act like she didn't know who Tremolo really was. We already know one person who has the power and motive to do so: Tremolo's grandpa.

Welp, it was an honor yall, she will do this to me:

Motive? Not really. Power? Definitely not.

You are just adding blind faith on top of blind faith.

Not really.

Motive: We already know he didn't like it that Lynette was dating Neil and he sure as hell won't be happy that Lynette died of childbirth. More than reason enough to "refuse" (and make people less wealthy and with less influence than him act like it) that Tremolo is his grandson.
Power: We know he is wealthy. Wealth is power, especially in settings like where BaD takes place

Actually we have reason to believe that he isn't wealthy. The reason they moved in the first place was money trouble. But even if they solved the problems and made a comeback, wealth is only power when what you want is for sale. Are you implying that Bella was just bought?

I doubt she was bought, she doesn't feel like the person who cares about money. It's more likely that she has been (emotionally) into that promise.

Also I'm pretty sure he made a pretty good comeback when the house was sold to the Royce's, and he probably only increased it from then on.,

Found this game for myself a couple days ago, and it is really great, thanks dev! Is it completed, or future updates planned, anybody knows?

The dev is now working on ep 12, the last episode of season 3 and probably a couple months later at most it will be released on steam.
Afterwards we get season 4 with a currently unknown amount of episodes and that will be the final one of the franchise.

 

[Roger-a-Dale]

I doubt she was bought, she doesn't feel like the person who cares about money. It's more likely that she has been (emotionally) blackmailed into that promise.

Well that would be a crime now wouldn't it? Bella would sue him for everything he has and just give it all to MC.

And if by some stretch he actually had something on her why doesn't Bella's behaviour violate what was promised? If Bella can do what she does she could tell MC the truth.

now I do

Would like to explain?

1 simple answer of what we've seen a lot of already in Being a DIK: Corruption.

And we don't know what that promise/threat would entail. It could be that she can do about anything she wants, as long as she acts (at least in front of him) that Tremolo isn't Lynette's son.

It's not like I'm the writer, only thing I can do is come up with logical/trope/realistic reasons why stuff is happening the way they do in this franchise, based on about 35 years of experience with similar stories in all kind of mediums (for BaD college comedies and soap operas are most fitting), 40 years of experience in real life and about 6 years of experience with about 500 AVNs.

But how is the promise enforced? How is Bella's obedience monitored? What is actually stopping her from just doing what she wants? And why would he make her make such a flimsy promise? Why not just straight up deny all contact with MC?

You are now assuming that there is going to be a plot hole.

I have better idea: Bella, Miranda, Vivian and whoever else was friends Lynette do not know that she is dead.

Because MC was "destined" to go to B&R. With Bella working at B&R, there is simply no way to deny all contact without arousing suspicion, especially if she's also friends with Jill.

And how to monitor it? They probably have a way they get warned if MC is going to look for more information about Lynette thanks to him finding out through Bella. Stuff that he won't find online but is only kept at the city archive/city hall, like a death certificate or something.

I see no plot hole so far.

Or they just don't know that Lynette is dead or that MC is her son. Which is actually plausible.

 

[Chillout1984]

Imo seeing how close their bond was, I would think that is the least plausible. That would mean that the funeral was only with her closest family. That isn't how funerals are done by influential families. They would at least invite the other influential families, to which we know Miranda belongs to (if Bianca is Miranda's family).
