I get what you are saying but I think people just want a better storyline for Maya. last episode's ending does seem to hint at her becoming more involved (hopefully) but overall her story has just been very medicore since the Josy drama. In the first 3 episodes she felt more like a real fleshed out character and had a variety of interactions with the MC, not to mention she was just more fun. There was a lot of potential here, she was like the main female lead.

But after that her story is kind of lame, its too restricted to Josy & her father (even when he is not there) and she is detached from the interesting stuff. I don't feel the same chemistry with her and the MC as I did in the first episodes. And overall she lacks real memorable moments compared to the other girls and even "side" girls like Quinn.

There is a reason why she has declined in popularity overall, I was here when this game began and there was way more hype for her character. Overall its fine if you still think she is the best girl, we all have our preferences but no need to hate on others for their opinion

I think Maya's plot has been a good one, especially for a coming of age story like BaDIK. But I do think it's been hurt by a few structural issues with the way DPC presented it.

The biggest problem is just overexposure. The relationship between Maya, the MC and Josy was the major subplot of Season 1, completely dominating the final episode; the other girls got great scenes, but the focus was always on Maya and Josy. When the situation is finally resolved one way or the other, we have a single (short) episode to breathe before we jump right back into the Maya drama, first with her worrying over the Scavenger Hunt, then in full-on crisis mode thanks to her father.

That's a lot of focus on squarely Maya, particularly since Josy was MIA for the first half and is dragged into the second half through Maya. Even for a hardcore Maya fan like me, it's a bit exhausting. For anyone less invested, I'm sure it's beyond frustrating by now. We really needed more time to give Maya a turn as a supporting character in the other girls' stories in season 2, the way Jill, Bella and Sage got to help the MC through the "Maya issue" in Episode 4.

Instead, Josy's main drama continues to be her relationship with Maya, Jill gets that interminable blackmail subplot, Bella spends most of her time foreshadowing her marriage issue, and Sage winds up being drawn into Maya's plot directly! Good grief! The only other girl who comes close to getting that much attention is Quinn - and what a shock, she's plenty polarizing in her own right! (Also, a lot of Quinn's screen time is in cutscenes, which makes it a bit less intense since the MC isn't constantly reacting to her.)

On top of that, Maya will always pay the price of memorably demanding 100% honesty from the player, only to keep a pretty fucking big secret from him. I think we can all intellectually understand why she did it, but that doesn't mean it's easy to forgive her for it. I certainly can't blame people who would be reluctant to trust her after that... yet the plot proceeds as if trusting her was a foregone conclusion. Again, this would have been a lesser problem if it happened in Season 3 after we'd switched the focus to someone else. That would have given us time to build up the trust the story really relies on. Instead it just exacerbates the problem of overexposure.

Lastly, we get the infamous library scene at the end of Episode 4. Normally I'd let Bacchus rail against this, but since he's no longer here I guess I'll have to cover it. The problem is that we spent an entire episode watching the MC freak out over the fact that Maya and Josy were secretly girlfriends. He talks at great length about how difficult it was to be lied to and kept in the dark like that. All the while, the MC spends no time whatsoever trying to learn about just what the hell happened between them, or really shows much interest in their relationship at all. Yet when we get to the finale, it's all about how Maya and Josy still love each other, and the MC's place in their relationship is a literal afterthought. Even worse, if the girls reject the MC (for very poorly explained reasons in game), we get that infamous shot of the two making out as the MC walks away.

Just... wow. I mean, I'm as big a fan of the pair it gets (though perhaps not quite as a big a fan of Josy as ChipLecsap ), but even I felt the chill there. What we needed was to restructure the episode so the MC spends less time moping and more time learning why things played out the way they did. That way when the finale comes around, the MC can either choose to forgive them and help them rekindle their relationship, or admit he really did care about both and try for something more.

By making the MC the driving force behind the reconciliation on the friendship route, we might at least get a little buy-in from the people who don't want anything more to do with the pair. And by eliminating the rejection path we can avoid upstaging the MC's in his own story. It's still not perfect, but it would have dodged some of the most glaring pitfalls.

But hindsight is always 20/20, and we're stuck with what we got. I think Maya's hatred will probably mellow out a bit if she ever sorts out her problems and finally gets to take a supporting role for a while, but there will always be people bitter about the way she was handled. I'm okay with that. It means less competition for me.

I was simply pointing out the absurdity of you geographically eliminating a region of the U.S. as a setting for a completely fictional location and story, based on criteria that actually exists in that region.

If I can requote myself, I said more "plausible", not "impossible". Hell, one could even make an argument B&R is inspired from the colleges from those in the old college comedies. The college in the granddaddy of them all, Animal House, was based on Dartmouth College, in New Hampshire. So, maybe the argument for Connecticut isn't so tight.

But your biggest mistake was debating ludicrous analyses with Warscared. Trust me when I say you likely do not have the stamina for it, and hence are way out of your league.

I've lurked for a while. I wouldn't dare take on dalli_x, but I always love a good challenge, even if it means my brain in a puddle.

 

[Laport Deminis]

Lol you make Maya seem more important than she has been since the first 2-3 episodes or so. Back when the MC was living with her and she was kind of the first girl he connected with I can see the argument for her being the main girl but that was a long time ago.

Quinn is an interesting antagonist for many reasons, her mistreatment of Maya is just one of the aspects but definitely not the only one. She is into lots of shady stuff and has her own story. Sage also never talked with Maya until this episode and had her own story. Same for Isabella and Jill. So I don't really see how the story revolves around Maya..if you go with the DIK path she is basically removed from the story and has very little relevance (in the CHIK path she is important but "just" one of the main girls, not more)

Oh, i put all my money in this.

I am sure you are aware of the similarities beetwen BADIK and AL. Well, who were the main girl in AL?. They are different stories, but every writer has his own obsesions, and one of the main obsession of DPC seems to be trouples.
And a really important piece of information, DPC girlfriend is... a feminist.
Now, thoose are hints, are meant to give a probable insight into the writer mind. But its story structure what gives you the confirmation. So let's see it.

But first, every conventional story (and this one it is) is the combination of a trouple relation Hero-Victim-Villain. It's the relation with the victim wich definesthe role of every character, thoose who help and thoose who hurt it.

Quinn is an interesting character for many reasons. But it's her relation with Maya who defines her role in the story. Her role was defined at the endig of episode 1/begining of ep2, when she "forced" Maya to grind herself with the MC and kidnapped him. Yet the scene (good one but ilogical for me) was explain by the same story as an agression towards Maya. Before that her character wasn't really defined, we almoast didnt knew her. Besides that, her relation with the MC depends on your path and the worst thing she did was to get Mona out of college. But when Mona get out of college? Exactly the moment that Maya was facing a similar scenario. Do you see? Is like when a movie they make an extra to have a horrible death in a moment when the main character is in a similar position, its not meant that we care about the extra but to build tension on the main character by showing what could happen to him. Even Quinn, Sage struggle (the other significant relationship that Quinn has with a LIs) has suddenly a name in ep7, and that name is Maya. Right now she is making Sage and Quinn to fight each other.

About Sage... yes she had her own story, but also Josy had their own. Now we know that was a sublot meant to build the main plot... her relation with Maya. Sage story is pretty simple, more than a story its a back story. At ep7 (when suddenly you can pursue her again) she had a complete swift. People were still arguing about the fundamental Sage traits, did she kenw about the buffet? Did she was therefore good? And at episode 7 she gets over Chad and throw herself into the Maya Quinn conflict, and by doing so defines her role, yes she is good, no she didnt knew about the buffet. And by doind it puts the whole Status Quo at risk. Again her role is defined at the ending of episode 7 in that speech wich is meant to be the core of the climatic moment of the whole episode.

About Bella and Jill. Well thoose are presisely the storylines who are not integrated yet to the main storyline. And yet, did you notice the intense way Bella looks at Maya? Yes, the simple explanation is that she is interested in the MC. But whythe story puts enfasis on that? Bella saw the MC with Josy but she didnt talk about her with Jill. She also saw him with Sage, but besides a couple of obvious questions nothing happened. And Bella-Sage relation is more significant. I call it a rushed foreshadowing and we will see exactly where it is going later.
All the LI's paths are going to converge as long as the history progress and by doing so become a single plot.

Finally, i give you the graphic show of the mainclimatic moments and endings. I think it is a good way to see the narrative structure:

[italianstallionxxx]

we have now 7 chapters watching that josyy will bang literally everyone so her wishy washy story with maya doesnt fly anymore.
after chapter 4 pinkcake still shoehorn them with their romance, their hot quest and now maya idiotic father drama
we still havent helped jill practice for her concert, we havent explored more if sage really likes mc, we are getting glimpses of quinn sweeter side. all those stories are more interesting than josy-maya who are both awful people who cheated eachother at the first time of troubles in their relationship
maya and josy dragging sage into their bullshit is unforgivable

 

[felicemastronzo]

You misunderstanding . Maya and in extend Josy , gets the hate not because of their story, But because They rejected the Dik MC, but they forgive each other. That is all. Nothing, more nothing less, never was.

dejavu...

a bit too simple like that.

That, if anything, is why they don't forgive her (it's a porn game after all, why give up sex?), but not why they resent her.

Let's assume they were vaguely interested in her:
1) they come out to her, and she keeps quiet.
2)night of the grinding where she all the time thinks about the strange sensations her body feels and her guilt for her partner, which we will later find out is Josy, not a thought about what she is doing to MC
3) as soon as they meet again she asks Mc to help her with a kiss... without the need to apologize.

in reality at that point there are those who would not have forgiven her and those who lie.

Then of course after being possibly rejected it didn't please anyone, and Josy telling us that they did it because Maya was scared didn't improve her position

but we leave that to the accused:

 

[Lightaces]

Anyone who doesn't know that Lily is second only to Sage is really missing the point of the game.

Even if she does end up being a narc.

 

[Abhishek_tanwar]

Let me start with this, What I will say, are my personal taught which for most of you guys will hate me for this but Let me say with all the respect and love to our community.
"I welcome any of your taught and insult if you do so. Peace out ! "


If I am right Dr. pink cake what to make this game close to reality as much as possible, I am keeping my feeling aside no matter I how much I love this game a because that will dull my judgement.

* TILL NOW, I will not talk about theories . . . *

1. Sage :
Mc and sage 'fuck-buddy' relation started because sage wanted to teach chad lesson. If chad weren't gay character and come back to sage, She would have thrown out mc of her life like most people do with fly in the milk.
If even i have to point out everything regarding sage and mc is 80% sexual. In chapter 7, When sage sees chad, I don't want to says but her heart bleeds for chad. At emotional bond with sage is quite a low expect one moment when you share you mother child birth story.
If we close to look close enough. All she want is sex with mc. I love this character, she help out mc, if you have no where to go but i believe no matter what, you can chose to go to derek but we won't. She is great friend and cares and look out for them but till now, A love relation with sage is doomed to fail because big dik can be found 5 out of 10 but love in these days ? Better believe in unicorns.

2. Bella:
This character certainly hold great character to stay with but 3 major point that put this taught to grave are basically she cheat on her virgin best friends that will destroy the argument of even a being a friend. She can destroy her friend love story by multiple sex encounter but can't handle a cathy bj, Why because she wants mc for her self. Let say mc have nothing to do with cathy but if your mc have any sexual encounter with other even one character, everything will fall apart.

What chance mc have if her husband returns ? "Dev" could make it work like her husband lost his memory or was in coma or something else all they way.

What do you think will happen if jill found out. Let me ask you will you do that to jill, what mc done if your mc is in relation with bella. I love this character yet I chose not to be with her because basically that i don't like do.

3. Jill :
I don't believe in Disney stories because they are just opposite of what reality like to do with anyone on daily bases.
If you are also on path on bella. it's will fail. Mc chose to fight for bella if you don't want to fall her for her blackmailer.(Given chance I want to stay her friend and help her regarding tybely issue, If i were given chance if will stay her fried and her her out every step like josy do to mc if your mc is even only a friend.)
She chose not to stand against tybelt so if any once which believe that she could go against her family for mc. Good luck with that. No effect of best friend bella even if you are not in relation with bella. She believe everything she does is right and as required mc to be a chick on her path no wonder she will ride mc.
JOSY know mc finical situation yet as mc point out not completely so as mc tries to teach her meaning of being poor at the event of chad vs mc. She know tybelt is liar and manipulate yet chose to believe him over mc at so many points.

I hope, I don't have to remind you id mc hurt her blackmailer by tennis ball, Jill will have sympathy for her blackmailer. so again best of luck . . .

4. Quinn :
Volatile as volcano(My mc is on her and sage path currently). Her character I have seen very rough up bringing, loved her father, she knows what money is. She is doing for everything for her family(father). I hope she fall in love with mc. Now while mc is on rise he is in demand but I fear in dark days for mc he do not sees same faith as tommy. Regarding the issue every once have with quinn.

1. Prostitution : She didn't pressure anyone, proof Quinn to mona : you knew what you being agree on. mona ; I didnt know, i will do older guys. She just give choices, choosing or not is up to individual. just like camila says and just like mel and sarha did.

2. Drug pedaling : Yes it's wrong but seller exists only because buyer exists. seller could be any and many. drug problem can't be solved untill buyer exists. I don't even mind that. she didn't durg to any body throat they come to her as proven many times.

3. Blackmail : It's just out of the content because she tell exactly what men in power like stephan will do and he does it. Saying to mona what will happen because the choices she made is blackmail then there is noting to say.

4. Money : At least she straight forward and tell what she does same reason that tommy in ruin. She suppose to do that for her father. What length will any of us will go to our love once.

* * * The fall of tommy begin when (In my point of view): Time when quinn says to tommy : You like me like that but your sister is off limit(And regarding other girls). Tommy have nature of use and throw and selfish and controlling regarding everything and there are many point I can mention.
"When tommy says I am ready to be a scapegoat. Quinn : I like you and don't want you to do that but tommy character is to selfish and corrupt toward quinn." * * *

5. M & J :
Josy solo path is not available but she is great friend and quite understand mc but in M & J relationship mc is not primary . They don't even truth him over info of maya's father till the end chapter 6.
It's better to be a great friend then third wheel. There is no possible way of haram in as it's go against very fundamentals of being a family or in process of forge one.
Josy solo path were there I would have taken it. M & J also have many character flaw I can mention but I am done, I have done that many times.

If this game based even on 50% reality then : : : As the words goes "Reality is often disappointing".

There is light at the end of tunnel but if tunnel is full of light(Just like mc life currently in game) then at the end of tunnel you loss sight(reality, that lead to digaster) for seconds that is why tunnel are usually bit darker. So as i think bitter sweet time will arrive for mc and his choices and character he is engaging with will lead to multiple disaster situation and then we will full understand a possible partner.

In the end no matter how much you or anybody love anyone. Love can never over power money. sad but that is how it's work as history has proven over and over again.

 

[felicemastronzo]

That's more or less how I felt back in Chapter 4. After going through all that drama there was no way in Hell I was going to take the three-way relationship lightly. Strings or no, my MC is only pursuing the two of them. (Granted, I like Maya and Josy, so it was easy for me to buy into trying for something more.)

From there, it was pretty easy to make a solo Jill route too, since it feels downright knavish to romance her openly while ploughing the field; admittedly, this was before we realized she probably thinks babies are delivered by stork, so perhaps I'd be less forgiving now. Bella would have gotten a solo path too, if I could stomach the MC's borderline harassment of her.

Sage was the only one who made sense as part of a multi-girl run, given her personality and the way their relationship started. Even then I figured I'd make a solo run for her if she ever broke up with Chad and became available, so she'll probably get one soon.

I have other runs that fool around more, but they feel very much like alternate history to me. The game takes the relationships with the main girls too seriously for me to feel comfortable taking them for granted.



I keep hoping the MC will tell the DIKs to knock that shit off, but it never happens. Sadly, I suspect it will only end when Jill is subjected to it and the MC will have the chance to prove he isn't afraid to be himself and defend Jill's honor. So yeah, I think I'm going to be stuck with it for a while.

damn time zone that always makes us talk in delay....

chapter 4 forces you to be interested in Maya and Josy, otherwise you would have to conclude that MC is crazy and playing a game whose protagonist is crazy would be of little interest to me. then unfortunately the ending forces you, in case you are interested in the other LIs, to become Gandhi and just want to remain friends with the two girls (following your heart with the courage given by alcohol)

Sage in theory was good for polygame routes, but the speech about the rebound guy tells you that in theory it's not good for MC, so even there if you want to play a good story you have to be faithful to her, or at the most you have to arrive a virgin at the seventh chapter and at that point accept her proposal

Bella's story also improves a lot if you follow it exclusively from the beginning, the fourth allows you to go beyond the issue of sexual abuse, and then from the sixth onwards she takes the initiative, so it sweeps away those feelings of guilt

you're right that the fact that Bella leaves MC if she discovers his affair with Cathe works as a wake-up call and it's also consistent with Bella's character, who basically is happy to find an excuse to end a sentimental story anyway very complicated.

But at the same time that moment (and even more if there isn't one) how intolerably hypocritical does it become if MC is also in a relationship with Jill? a relationship that Bella knows about.
Bella then going to ask you out on a real date at a time when Jill can't because she's stuck "for MC's sake" in Tybalt's blackmail. an admirable example of betrayal behind the back of the best friend.

 

[Journey95]

Yea I kinda got some of those vibes. Especially if you go back to the dorm with Josy and she basically tells you she still likes you but she didnt feel like she had a choice. I just want to make sure I dont lose a Josy route just because I didnt want anything to do with Maya lmao

I think there is clear set up for a solo Josy route in the last two episodes.. she still has feelings for the MC & you can show that you also still care for her in that way. There will likely be an option in the next episodes to take things further (hopefully).

You make some valid points but I don't think the Acting Lessons comparison fits. Megan was forced on you from Day 1 and you basically had to romance her. But in being a DIK you don't really have to romance Maya and since there are more main girls than in AL it doesn't feel like there is a clear female lead this time...at least so far and I hope it continues, I don't want every main girl's plot to revolve around Maya

It does seem that DPC still has big things planned for Maya (since she is connected with Quinn, Josy and now Sage) and she will be quite important..I guess we wil see how DPC handles it

 

[D2M3]

So I was thinking about this recently.... Is there a reason why Quinn, regardless of MC's choices and actions, hates Maya so much from the get go and onwards?

Like, what happened on that first day where Maya talked to HOTs about pledging that made Quinn such an incredible maniac against MAya, whereas she is at most a manipulative bitch to people like Mona and Camilla? What makes Maya her absolute hatred object?

That plotline is bugging me. Any ideas?

Ok, honestely i didnt put so much atention on Al, so maybe you re right.
Well, if you dont like Maya that would be dissapointing. But to be clear i dont think that Maya is the "future girlfrind", just that she drives the story. I also had my doubts about Jill, but then DPC said that she was a last time addition couse the "story needed". But why? Right now you can cut her out and everything else will be the same. So thats going to change even if its hard to see how.

It's not that she hates Maya, it's just that Quinn can tell from the get go that Maya is definitely not HOTs material. But she likes to toy with her (as she does with everyone). If toying with Maya so also messes with the MC, then it's a bonus for Quinn.

Also, Quinn likes the MC (more or less depending on your choices), so she likes to needle him about Maya. Regardless of whether the mc is in a relationship with Maya, Quinn thinks he is. From Quinn's perspective:

• MC & Maya share the same dorm room,
• Quinn, Mel and Sarah witness Maya grinding the mc, and there was definite chemisty,
• Quinn even says she thinks Maya is the mc's "Soon-to-be girlfriend" (in episode 6 at lunch with the HOTs).

So it's not such much that Maya did something wrong, it's just she's not cut out for the sorority, and Quinn, for her own entertainment, sees how far she can push Maya.

In the sauna scene, when asked why she took so long to pledge, Ashley says she feels that if Maya can pledge, and she likes Maya, then maybe she could pledge too. Sarah answers, "HOTs are no Mayas, though. She's Quinn's toy."

Personally, I think Ashley isn't cut out to be a HOT either, so not sure why she didn't get similar treatment.

Maya is not HOT material for Quinn standard.
I have an half idea that she wants to turn the sorority in a whore house, kinda. Prudish girl are useless to her but for sorority rules she can't deny Maya the entry so she treat her pretty badly and hand her a sex-driven hellweek list to have her giveup or fail. It would have work if not for Josy reporting in.

Also she probably hate her meek attitude

Great update. The render's quality is visibly better, seeing the progress in the mansion mini-game through the episodes is really rewarding and overall a pretty great plot to read through. So much content in a single episode, I wonder how many hours it'll take to complete one playthrough without skipping texts when the game is complete.

Is there a faster way to skim through gameplay than ctrl?
