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

[Holy Bacchus]

Even though I wrote this game off several weeks ago I came back to it. Started a fresh Jill run and have that game ready to go for Ep. 7 (two saves; blaming Derek for the fire and sharing blame for the fire, not knowing if it really matters or not with the choice).

I have to admit, that playing a fresh 1-6 run while waiting for 7 to drop did make me see characters in a new light. I almost veered off for Bella while on the Jill run after doing the Ep 4 scene with Bella in the pool and almost wanting to do the Ep 5 scene in the Sauna. And almost giving in again to have Bella help with the library in the DIK mansion. I was pretty tempted by it and I might still do that for the Steam version just to see how it all plays out. Bella definitely makes me think "What If" more than any other VN girl in these games.

Yes my love for Jill is WELL documented in this thread and I had to take time away from it, but Bella sure is tempting.

I'd have the MC leave school for Jill, even though she might utterly hate the idea of it. Being on permanent CHIK I don't know how that choice is going to play out or if it will even factor in doing so if that route/choice is implemented.

Resting dick face.

Dammit, I was gonna say that.

Imagine believing that DPC won't put on more drama for 20 episodes and that this game will only have mindless sex and will be another VN of the lot.

There is fear that your favorite girl receives the same treatment that Maya and Josy have received

Exactly. Just because one issue/barrier might get resolved doesn't mean another isn't going to crop up.

I agree that there will more than likely be some form of catastrophe she causes for MC. I think it will end up being purely accidental or only by design out of a mistaken case of jealousy or spite. I don't see Quinn as purposely trying to ruin MC's life on that scale unless it was something that MC does mistakenly that she misconstrued as purposeful maliciousness.

I think she might do it deliberately, to use him as some sort of patsy to deflect blame, take the heat off of herself, or perhaps even to fram for something she did. It's well within her character, even if she likes the MC.

I'm only comparing as far as a side chick that plays as a important plot point in the entire story. Not as far as specifics of Leah's character.

so far Jill is the closest to Leah, with how well she hides her emotions

I'd take equal blame, I think it'd be rotten, and whiny, to throw Derrek under the bus.

Yeah I would too, but for a while I was tossing Derek always under the bus.

That's why now I have two saves just from that one choice. Co-blame, and full blame.

I don't know like Jill said if it matters or not the shit's all on the MC anyway. Don't know if it takes points away from Derek or Jill depending on what choice was made but me being extra cautious with my Jill run I had to have one save with each choice.

I think at that point with the Ep. 6 date and the MC's confession to her really doesn't matter about who takes blame or not, but I wanted to cover my ass.

Thank fuck. I don't think anyone can compare to the batshit character of her.

I think she might do it deliberately, to use him as some sort of patsy to deflect blame, take the heat off of herself, or perhaps even to frame for something she did. It's well within her character, even if she likes the MC.

It may be within her character now as we know her character; but as character development progresses, I foresee a more caring Quinn with more protagonist qualities than the antagonist qualities she possesses now.

if Wendy keeps asking for Derek, he might take the blame just to be at a safe distance from her.

Yeah that's pretty accurate Bacchus. Not going to lie or fault you for that. But I've made my choice. But it's also I think a factor into me WANTING to see where Bella's route goes. I mean you have to get in good with her anyway to even get to Jill no matter what, so all the work is already put in, right?

Probably start the Bella path later in the week just to satisfy my curiosity.

I played the Full CHICK yesterday and took equal blame. She said that it didn't matter since you threw the eggs at them and you were trespassing at the party, and Tybalt would have everybody at the party vouch for his version of the story.

Yeah so in the end it doesn't matter. It's pretty much just morally based on throwing your best college buddy under the bus. And I guess being full CHICK perm. affinity at that point and doing that to Derek really is a dick move made by the player.

EDIT: Just removed the blame Derek save. Deep down I feel better about that. Now the blame is both on us and that's that.

Actually no, a full dik manwhore MC whom doesn't have Bella's appreciation can still date Jill. He just have to convinced Jill that he's a nice guy.

Thank fuck. I don't think anyone can compare to the batshit character of her.

For now...

The most despicable character is still the bartender.

Just because it didn't change anything much in that scene doesn't mean it doesn't matter. The game takes stock of the choice you made and it can raise its ugly head later.

An example of that, if you don't smoke weed and fuck Quinn on the DIK mansion rooftop in episode 4, you can't tend to her cuts and fuck her in the DIK library in episode 6.

It may be a year before you find out the consequences of some of your actions in this game.

He just have to convinced Jill that he's a nice guy.

Yeah, by literally saying, "All I know is that I think I'm a nice guy." To which she replies, "That's good". Fuck me is she naive...

 

[FunFuntomes]

no! the most despicable character is Ida, the one using her hot friend's pictures.

 

[drakken]

I definitely play the fuck out of the game.

I don't care about finding all the pixles and getting all the renders, but I sure care about exploring all the story lines and characters the game has to offer.

There's not a single character in this game that I would deliberately avoid without trialing their path first.

I keep hanging shit on Bella and her madness, but guess whose house I stayed at on my first run. The Ice Queen's!

I couldn't possibly play this game and miss 50% or more because I only had eyes for one character. The game is just too good to miss any significant aspect of it.

Its technically not his fault as far as the fire. He did try to talk Derrick out if it. Derrick being Derrick is like "bro, just trust me, I got this" besides I believe Derrick will probally take the blame himself anyways, especially if the finds out about tydbol's blackmail against jill/mc, or at the least come up with some way to stop it and it be another "bro, just trust me"

You're right, although I genuinely enjoyed the nod DPC gave to the musical artist George Thoroughgood in the selections of things MC asks the bartender for...
One Bourbon.
One Scotch.
One Beer.

 

[AchedCroissant]

Exactly. Just because one issue/barrier might get resolved doesn't mean another isn't going to crop up.

I'll put it like that so you can probably understand better, Dragon Ball anime or manga ended when Goku was a kid? How many villains has history had? there is always a moment of peace until the new villain on duty arrives

That you believe that nothing is going to happen because you say so does not mean that DPC thinks in the same conformist way as many here

How the fuck are you going to maintain the level of this game for more than 20 episodes without having drama and getting to have a shit story like many other games

When every problem begins to explode with each LI or SG as it happens with M&J and Quinn do not come to cry here because DPC has given the warning from the first moment, that you want to ignore that warning from the beginning and believe that the game is going to Going the way you think is not going to make it a reality, even if it hurts to accept

That scene was too awesome though, I want the mc to take the blame.

warnings mean nothing when the dev pulls "plot twists" out of his buttocks, without any foreshadowing nor choices... In acting lesson I was using every chance to be with Leah, then the trip happened and she turned psycho.

Yeah I know. My first ever run in this game many months ago I had to convince her but that was when I was beating the tar out of everyone like a game of Mortal Kombat. But I was realizing during that run it's not anything like me as a person, plus after Ep 4 I didn't want to be on the M&J path. I killed the run, played the game like how I would personally make the choices, and it's been full Jill ever since, unless I give in to going full CHICK Bella just to see what happens.

I think a better comparison to this game would be the hangover movies.

Yeeeeah.....What's so wrong with her ? At least she didn't stand between you and lily's fun time like the asshole did. Not to mention his constant trolling :

Shazba I get where you're coming from about the fire thing. But the character record on the phone kept the mentioning of the not smoking weed thing with Tommy, Riona & Quinn but it didn't keep the mentioning of blaming/sharing the fire on or with Derek.

I'd think something like the fire would be mentioned in the character bio.

Only the egging is there.
