You mean adikt fan? Well is your taste, so, nothing to do there. However the fandom seems to be growing lately. By ep6 the creator had 10.000 patrons, now he is in 14.000. It's also more in the middle, than close to the end, or even before the middle. At this rate the author maybe surpass Summertime Saga and become the top adults game creator.

Don't be silly. I just don't agree with you.

I don't see why you get so worked up when people like this game. I've mentioned there are grammatical errors, I just haven't seen an actual plot flaw. Your examples don't cut it. Characters making mistakes, or being tricked is not a plot flaw.


Now this is massively disingenuous of you. The very next line is:

Maya: "I don't know how those things work, and I trusted him."​

Are you telling me you didn't read the next line, or you just ignored it because it didn't propel your argument?


It was only the one deception and Maya is still currently being deceived. She believes it's a real threat, that is the deception.

Your point, "if it was all a deception Maya would have just told her father to go to hell to end it all" only makes sense if she's aware that it's a lie. The point is she believes it's real so she's looking for means to work around it.

Now the irony is that she is doing things (threesome sex to get into the HOTs) to circumvent the blackmail, how would her dad react if he realized what he'd pushed her into?


The game blurs the lines between parody and drama, and for a lot of players they don't see where that distinction is. The drama has to be perceived as real otherwise we just laugh it off and it doesn't bring out the emotion that I'm sure DPC wants the players to feel (going by Acting Lessons, he's definitely big on making his players emotional), but at the same time the comical scenes often cross over the threshold into parody.

Also the clothing the HOTs wear, while characters like Maya call them sluts anyway, I don't think we are expected to believe they actually parade around like that on campus (even if they do), it's purely fan service.

There's plenty of poetic licence taken for the sake of making it enjoyable (on a humor, sexual and dramatic level), but at the same time, if something is a significant plot element it shouldn't be total bollocks either.

That said, the misunderstanding people continue to have with the Maya loan drama is they are taking the one character's (Maya's) poor understanding of the loan, and then trying to call it a plot flaw when it's a character flaw.

Maya doesn't understand the loan (her exact words, "I don't know how those things work, and I trusted him"). In her mind, he tricked her into getting a loan that has her over a barrel, whereas it's quite possible the he's tricked her into thinking he tricked her into getting a loan that has her over a barrel.

If it turns out that she really is a cosigner of a student loan that is made out to her (and not just that she thinks she is), then it's total bullshit, but at the moment we only have her word, and she doesn't even understand it.

Oh I read the next line but, the line I posted says it all. There are so many things wrong in those few little words that it just boggles the mind.

The game does have flaws, major flaws. And you can argue and quibble over words and insult me and hate me for pointing them out, but it doesn't change a thing. The flaws are still there.

That doesn't prevent you from liking the game. It also doesn't prevent me from criticizing the game. If you don't want to hear my criticism then just ignore me, it's easy to do.

Erm... It is matters. Like every major choice you do matters for mains. If you fight jocks and Caleb some of the mains will remember that and they lines will be a little different (so as cadres - they will not smile and sometimes look concerned). If you fight Troy, not the Bella alone but others will recall it (and not only mains). Maybe Steve or Jade doesn't matters (for now) but all others matters. They describe and act with you as you act.
Some of the mains like Josy seems like doesn't care about your afffinity but others reacts to your behavior. Lines are different, some cadres are different

Spoiler: like Bella's smile in this one

If you're DIK no matter how much RP you have with her there will be no smile.

You can fool M&J by using the neutral affinity before 4 ep ending and then go full DIK but they will change some lines and cadres. Especially if you where neutral or CHICK before decision of being just friends with them and then gone full DIK - dialog with Josy at prep party (if you chose to follow her) will be a lot different. She would say that you changed since the beginning (or something like that - I don't recall the exact lines).

You need to explain this the affinity is not for other character but for mc so that affinity directly control mc decision because of mc decision and affinity is outcome of mc decision.

Affinity is not about what other people know about mc yet it's dictate the path of mc because of mc choices.

Why ?

Don't ask that because that will mean those guys knows nothing and just talk too. Much about game.

Character have personality and mc personality is choices the player make and affinity is indicator and mirror of that personality that is why basically hard to modify.

 

[Abhishek_tanwar]

Dude, are you even read the plot? Its clear that Sage organise the prep party for her father. So many hints starting from car wash scene with Quinn. That's why she's doing the "pay in forward" thing with Maya - her father ought her one.

No this one is incorrect conclusion.

 

[svvaga]

Can someone tell me why i dont have the full masturbation scene with jill at the end ? ( im on jill path )

 

[Deleted member 663167]

Can someone tell me why i dont have the full masturbation scene with jill at the end ? ( im on jill path )

Let's see if I can remember this one correctly (Had a similar problem).
1. Which affinity are you shooting for? Chick or DIK?
2. Did you wear the helmet during Hell Week when you went to see Jill?

 

[DavDR]

The irony is that her 'boo' is doing economics so at some point could of turned around to her and say "Honey, that's not how loans like that work!"

Not to mention, there are also Guidance Counselors in every High School that will help you file a student loan, or she could have read a Wikipedia article, or Googled it, or walked into a bank and asked them to explain. There's also libraries, government pamphlets, fellow students, HER BROTHER!!!

The Josy angle is a nice catch though, you would think Maya would trust her enough to explain it.

 

[shazba]

I think DPC trying to fool players by thinking that Sage is one of Burke's. But it's not, I am dead sure.

I think he made it look very obvious that man-bun was Sage's dad, but there are subtle hints that she may be associated with Burke too. There's also hints that Jade and Burke were married to others before, so it's possible Burke is Sage's step father, and Tybalt her step brother. None of it's conclusive, but that's what I'm subscribing to at the moment (quite prepared to be utterly wrong on this one though).

I don't see any great irony in what Maya had to go through, the irony if anything is that DPC tells a story where in the end Patrick is right, where Maya doesn't like girls so much and where it was actually enough to remove Josy to make her daughter heterosexual.

The outcome of Maya's dad's efforts is ironic because in an attempt to save her from an immoral relationship (in his eyes, it's obvious he sees homosexuality as immoral), he has driven Maya to perform similarly veined immoral actions (i.e. fucking on camera in order to get into the most promiscuous sorority in history in order to bypass his blackmail)!

Have a read of the plot. Could this be MC past, at least parts of it?

You must be registered to see the links

I've seen that movie, quite enjoyed it for a raw, action packed martial arts flick. Bob Hoskins was a particularly nasty bad guy. But in no way, shape or form, could I see any similarities between it and BaDIK.

It's like one little psychological test I was once passed (for work). It was asking about killing little puppy when nobody saw it - would you do it. Ofc I wouldn't cuz I don't describe myself as "nobody". No-one see that but I would see that.

I'm glad you passed that test.

Hey so I just got cucked by Maya and Josy on probably episode three or four maybe I didn't chose friendship and had massive dik affinity so I just wanted to know if their is anymore scenes with them or potential choices that can change that outcome in future?

If you have DIK affinity M&J path is closed. They will reject you at the party, you need to be Neutral or Chick. Can still be friends tho.

It looks like there's a possibility for a couple relationship with one of them, but I think you'd have to tell Derek which one you still have feelings for, but it hasn't evolved that far yet.

The line you quote shows us Maya's understanding of the situation, and the line you omitted shows us that Maya doesn't really understand it by her own admission. Of course you can take things out of context to try to prove your point, but that would not be debating in good faith which I thought was something you considered important...

Yeah, but Josy without Maya, Maya without Josy, it's like a Burger without Fries. It doesn't feel right.

As was pointed out by several other posters after you made your earlier post, for Maya to have believed that story about the loan she would either have to stupid to a degree that strains credulity, or it would have just been written that way by a writer who can't even be bothered to look up the simplest of things. I did not post the second line because I do not believe the second line. But if the hill you want to die on is Maya believing that ridiculous story about the loan, be my guest.

 

[shazba]

Yeah, but Josy without Maya, Maya without Josy, it's like a Burger without Fries. It doesn't feel right.

I don't mind fries on their own from time-to-time.

Maya seems like a negative impact on Josy's character. Without Maya in the picture Josy was awesome, with Maya in the picture Josy became a shadow. In episode 7, with Maya pretty much sulking in her room, Josy was back in good form.

So you'll believe a character's understanding of a situation is 100% representative of the reality of the situation, but when the character says, in the next line, they don't really understand the situation, you'll dismiss that comment and say their understanding is still the 100% reality. So when Maya says she doesn't understand the loan, you're just pretending she didn't say that? That's tantamount to putting your fingers in your ears while singing "lalalala!"...

It's not just "the characters" understanding of the situation, it's several characters understanding of the situation. It's Josy's, an economics major's understanding of the situation. It's Derek's understanding, it's MC's understanding, it's now probably Sage's understanding. It is so unbelievable that of course I don't believe it, no one believe's it. I question whether you believe it.

All of their understandings came from Maya's potentially flawed understanding. But I agree that in the same way that we think the loan sounds fishy, the more savvy characters should also question it, but unlike us who have had months to debate it, they've had much less time.

Derek would have learnt about it pretty quickly after Maya, but I don't know how savvy he'd be at reading through loan legal jargon (it's not like it's that hard, but a lot of people glaze over when reading contracts). He successfully cheats his way through school, so I don't know if that makes him smart or dumb.

Josy would have only found out about it when she arrived at college however a lot of their focus was taken up with the mc's drama.

Sage may not even know about it, but if she does, it's just happened at the end of episode 7.

The mc has known about it for a couple of weeks but he's had heaps of drama on his plate and hers isn't really all that pressing (compared with repairs to the mansion etc.).

But at some point someone should be saying to Maya, "Can you get a copy of the loan document?"

I still don't find this entire scenario incredulously unbelievable. If it was me, rather than Maya, I'd definitely do it differently, but I'm not Maya.

Maya is a relatively sheltered 18 year old girl who's lived under her fathers iron reign her whole life and only just started to fall out of favor due to her father's discovery of her sexuality. She's probably had her dad do everything for her (she wasn't even allowed to get a job during school holidays). She's not used to going behind his back, undermining him. That's why she's panicking and fairly ineffectual in this situation.

There are heaps of people out there who suck at life and can't manage shit for themselves.

I question whether you believe it.

Lets start with 'suspension of disbelief'.
Google it, please.
Short version: All forms of entertainment require you to let go of the little things that might not add-up in reality.

Now, lets pick at one of your details...
Josy is supposed to fix this for her?
Josy, an 18yr old kid in her first couple weeks of college, is supposed to already be an expert in contract law??? Umm.. No.
And, btw, she's planning on studying Economics, not Law.

Now... the loan.
- A dual signature loan where her father controls release of the funds. Yup, those exist. (Now, if you're fool enough to think that standardized contracts are the only contracts, then I can see where this one is tripping you up.)
- She wouldn't be able to get a second loan. Yup, that checks out too. No lending institution is going give an 18yr old, unemployed, student a loan when she's already signed on another one. Doesn't really matter the legality of the first, they won't take the risk.
- She'd be on the hook for the debt. Yeah, ok. If her father doesn't the release the funds to her and she has the paper trail to prove it, then no. But, she'd still be looking at a lengthy legal battle (that she can't pay for). During which she wouldn't have the funds to pay for school. So the end result is the same, she'd have to leave college.

The loan tickles my suspension of disbelief, just a bit. But it's not even close to breaking it.
I take it for what it is. A story element meant to highlight A) that her father is a monster and B) Maya is in a pretty damn stressful situation.

 

[DavDR]

That's why she's panicking and fairly ineffectual in this situation.

There are heaps of people out there who suck at life and can't manage shit for themselves.

Then what did Maya tell Josy was the reason for their first separation? If the threat of a lifetime of debt (PFFFFTTTT) wasn't the reason that Maya ditched the love of her life then what was the reason? Don't you see the more you try to shore up this stupid plot flaw the more it falls apart. Even DPC has changed his story on it. At the end of ep 6 it was Maya's Father who was implied to be the co-signer, now in ep 7 Maya is the co-signer. It's utterly stupid. It's a stupid theory that Maya believes it, it's a stupid theory that any other character believes it or that any player of the game believe's it.

 

[Kukipett]

Finished another playthrough focusing on sage and sidechicks.and I found out sage really is Stephen Burke's daughter.now I wonder how sage will react when she finds out about mc dicking her mom/stepmom.

Heee no, she is not, but someone else is the son of Burke and Jade and no it's not the MC, some may think that Neil was a cuck as he looked pretty stupid in his youth sitting on that huge ball, but as Derek said he has pounded his ass, maybe Neil was gay and just asked a little help from a friend.
All this seems really confusing, maybe the 12 glasses of vodka and the 6 lines of coke were a bit too much this evening

Josy barely got into college and Derek is a moron, why would they understand Maya's situation better than she does.

Better yet, how the fuck you still on about this? It's trash plot, sure but we've exhausted this conversation months ago, how does it always get brought up.
