Then you must have deleted -or somehow got borked off their own volition- both persistent files in game\saves and %appdata%, seeing as your saves are still there -and load perfectly fine- and the game thinks you haven't seen the intro. Those persistent files are what the game uses to know, among other things, which CGs you've unlocked.

The easiest thing to do is maybe skip "Unseen text" until you reach the point you were last at.

That's the weird thing, I checked the persistent files in AppData and the game directory and theyre both there. I can skip Jill's intro and go to my save games fine but the gallery doesnt work. Do you mean I should start over a new save or return to the old saves and skip through dialogue? I dont remember all of my choices to be honest

Nostalgia what brings me back to Being a Dik. At the time when i was deep in AVNs i never wanted to try it .. but then i said what the hell I'll download being a dik and give it a try and see what the all hype .. i loved it .. i loved the beginnings. The early 4 episodes and the world inside the game.

Haha, exactly the same. The funny thing is, I’ve been searching for well-written VNs with serious narratives and deep character development, but I never considered trying this game (I didn’t know it was by the same dev as AL). I thought all college-life-themed games were pretty much the same. To my surprise, after giving it a try, I found it to be a true masterpiece—flaws and all, but absolutely one in a million.

I'm doing a new run on this game after I deleted the game a long time ago. I played until mid episode 2 and today I rebooted it to find that it put me back into the Jill intro scene and I lost all the gallery rewards. The save files are still there and I can load all of them so it doesnt seem corrupted. What do I do to fix this?

Just play the game again.. you stoped at episode 2 why do you care about save files or gallery rewards! (There isn't much)
Or better yet, wait untill December and play the whole game again.

This. Since your saves aren't actually corrupted, there should be no point in starting over. But seeing as you're "only" in Ep 2, it's not that big an ordeal to start from zero -if you wanna go that way-, inasmuch you're not remembering your choices.

I will try that right now. Is there something that causes the game to reset gallery?

19377 pages... With all the screen grabs on this forum, I wonder how much of the game you could recreate by just compiling them all together and putting them in order.

3877 pages for me (3876 when you posted your comment), but then I set it to 100 posts per page...

Nice try but no.
Solo's are coming that isn't even questionable. What is questionable is if there a way to save the throuple ep11 puts it at its lowest and clearly establishes solos for Josy and Maya. EP12 in throuple is either having mc go home with Josy no mater what or it comes down to choice and your either going with Josy or Maya. If you go home with Josy no matter what there is a path for saving throuple if some things break the right way like being able to say I love to Josy if you already said it to Maya and getting the lewd scene but if that doesn't happen likely means it over for throuple. While it possible MC going to Josy's regardless I don't think that is how it will play out. EP10 you go to Maya's for thanksgiving but that was about the loan not there relationship and that happens on all paths besides throuple plus while ep10 spoiled the solo scenes at the time of writitng this that hasn't happen yet in ep12 and should be noted during ep11 only gave a preview of the Josy date and the only previews of Maya was from 3some Maya had 0 on her own. So that leads me to lean to MC either going to Josy's or Maya's for Chirstmas which in my mind is the worse case possible for throuple because it leaves pretty much no room for a save it path, in my mind anyway.

The MC will be spending Christmas with his father, and the only question is whether Maya will be going with him or not. Josy is definitely spending Christmas with her mother, and without the MC. In the preview with Iris, the MC is sitting next to her wearing an old T-shirt. You don't celebrate Christmas with your girlfriend's mother in clothes like that, especially since the MC already showed up to Isabella's Christmas dinner dressed up.

Therefore, the MC will either have taken Josy to her mother's or will pick her up from Iris's house. The preview of Josy in sexy lingerie could be either at her mother's or at her father's house, because Josy will be celebrating Christmas with her father later. Furthermore, I don't think this preview will necessarily lead to sex with Josy. Why? Josy is wearing way too much makeup. I think it could be a photo shoot.

The Thanksgiving dinner at the Baileys' also touches on the relationship between Maya and the MC. The player has the option to mention to Patrick that he's Maya's boyfriend, or not. Maya also tells her mother that the MC is her boyfriend, and the MC confirms this. Furthermore, both Maya and the MC display spontaneous intimacy, which even Patrick notices.

I'm not ruling out the possibility of solos; I've simply added another possibility. What you're calling the low point is just a conversation. Maya and Josy aren't arguing, and at the end of the conversation, Josy seems a bit more confident. This is undeniable because it's written into the dialogue.

Yes, Josy and Maya didn't communicate well. However, the reason for this should also be identified. If you want to find it, I'll give you a hint so that the reason is included in Episode 10. Maya doesn't say something to Josy, and Josy doesn't say something to Maya. Both of these things are related to the MC.

One of the advantages of DPC is that it doesn't require much time or text to develop a character. Even though we haven't interacted with her much, we already know some things about her. Also, don't forget that you haven't seen most of her interactions, because they only happen in the "others" branch. I'm not interested in it, but I definitely see potential there. The question is how DPC will manage to implement it, given the short time left in the game.

No, I'm talking specifically about episode 10. The scene takes place during the barbecue. Of course, you couldn't see it because you're only playing the Trouple route. As far as I understand, the dialogue happens if:
1) MC isn't in the Trouple route
2) MC spends time with Josy in episode 10 when they're building a pillow fort
3) Josy confesses to MC that she still loves him and gets rejected
This is one of those things that convinces me that Josy is ready to leave Maya for MC.

I think Cindy has a role to play in BaD, and that role won't necessarily be of a sexual nature.

I can understand points 1 and 2. Point 3, however, seems contradictory to me. Why would Josy leave Maya if the MC rejects Josy's declaration of love? That would more likely mean Josy ends up with neither of them, thus confirming her fear of losing them both.:unsure:
