I want to take this opportunity to talk about the DIKs. Now, I've played through this game more than a handful of times throughout its development history. Done all the routes and all that and I always come away feeling like most of the DIKs are a straight mystery. In other words, the DIKs lack character development and most of the development they do have comes from second hand information from the Rooster or more often the HOTS.
Being a veteran of this game, this is what I know about each DIK off the top of my head.
- Rusty - He's rich. A Burgmeister. President of the DIKs. Wanted to be in a relationship with Micha but got cucked.
- Tommy - Vice President of the DIKs. Likes to smoke weed. Cheats on Heather in almost every episode.
- Leon - Known for dressing up as a girl during the Halloween party. Oh and he likes plants.
- John Boy - He is an exhibitionist. Literally that's his entire character.
- Jamie - Is in love with a feminist and likes magic.
- Jacob - Likes to draw and attempts to cuck the MC in episode 10.
- Nick - Likes fish but doesn't know how to care for them so he stuck me with the job. Lusts after Heather.
Maybe I'm missing small details but in a general sense these characters are pretty 1 dimensional and I don't understand the reason for that. You have side girls like Riona who have far more character development than the DIKs. Is that a bad thing? At this stage of the games development, which I figure is going to have at least 1 more season, I would say no its not a big problem right now. But in the future? Yes I think it becomes a problem because these guys are supposed to be your bros.
Stuff I'd like to have happen are things like:
- DIK threesomes. In other words, I wanna bang girls with my bros. Why is this not in the game yet? Is it because of the anti-ntr people?
- More 1 on 1 time with DIKs. I wanna hang out with Tommy and smash girls and do drugs. I wanna chill with Rusty and learn more about his backstory. Same with most of the other DIKs besides Jacob because he tried to cuck me.
- I want the game to treat me less like the President of the DIKs. I pretty much do everything like planning parties and coming up with the plan. I know that I'm the MC but the DIKs should have more of a role in deciding the direction of the things. Make it feel more like a real FRAT instead of me just making the decisions for everyone.
So yeah stuff like that would be good. I know most people probably don't care about guys getting backstory or whatever but I feel like this game would greatly benefit from more complex male relationships. I know DrPinkCake can do it because they did it with Derrick who is honestly the only male character besides MC that gets any thoughtful attention and I do appreciate that.
With that said, I'm going to end this by giving you all my top 5 list of girls in the game.
1. Quinn (Of course, It was never a question)
2. Sage
3. Bella (Isabella)
3. Riona
4. Lilly
Now, I do really like Maya and Josey but I honestly feel like the game treats me as if I should not. I don't want my character to be the guy that breaks up their relationship and I don't want to just be a third wheel. So I'm sorry DrPinkCake but I can never pick them. I imagine a lot of people feel this way.
