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

[Stareagle lord]

The name of the game refers to the mc joining the DIK fraternity, not him specifically having a DIK personality.

When it comes down to it, you only have to be a chick or neutral at one point with Maya and Josy (during the library scene where they either accept or reject the mc into their relationship), you can go full DIK after that.

Bella and Sage don't care where you fall on the spectrum, although for some arbitrary reason you can't 69 Bella unless you're a chick.

Jill is the tricky one, numerous times it can be all over with her if you're a DIK. So it's best to chase her as a Chick or Neutral.

Ultimately, since Maya & Josy are a couple, there are really only 4 LI options:

1) Jill Requires Chick or Neutral
2) M&J Require Chick or Neutral
3) Bella doesn't mind
4) Sage doesn't mind

Bonus character:

5) Quinn requires you to be a DIK

(The above assessment is just off the top of my head, so I could be wrong.)



You gotta draw the line somewhere.

Just like you don't download every single game on this website, you just choose the ones that appeal to you.

I erased BaDIK and played it through again to completion, finding everything, unlocking everything, until it was almost 100% complete. I just didn't bother unlocking the Madame's stuff. I have 0% interest in seeing her again.

But I have to admit, when I started playing through BaDIK, I tried everything, investigated everything, went through all the options, including the Madame when she first came out (I'm not gonna say there were no regrets).

But there are other games that I play that I just go down one path and that's it.

What blew my mind was when dalli_x came out and said he'd only played the M&J route.

Sigh, This is why I don't really like 'story' games with no options or just a way too hardcore 'follow walk' to get girls and content too much, and why I rather like more Open World-like games with less to no miss of 'girls' working like example...

Son Of A Bitch.
School_Love and friends.
Superpowered.
Simple Days.
Rogue-like.
Summertime Saga.
Son Of A Bitch..
Park After Dark.
TakeOver.
Peasants Quest.


Sure some of them have some story parts you gotta follow 'for mc to get laid' or ways to do to get certain contents
but in general they are all open world and less story driven and no to little 'time limit' example...
SOB is hardest in 'time limit' etc...

 

[Hahn1900]

LI?
LIs?

Wait so DIK score or not right now for content/Relationships?...
or is it meant to be a mix?:S

on official walks s1, it says this
Josy, Maya, Sage, Jill Isabella is main girls.

and that guy said

all the main girls for a relationship require CHICK or Neutral affinity. With the exception of Sage,

but when I read some parts of walks some parts of DIK give relationship points etc while other parts gives less
And some is anti-dik when I still get more like 'points' and some is for DIK even though it is same girl
and said girl is a main girl... so I am kinda confused
as to how to play to 'get content etc without literally reading whole walks 1-3 seasons before even playing...'

i have to say something here...

dude... just play the fucking game.

 

[godkingxerxes]

Okay, so main girls are relationships and Side girls are not?

And the Love interest is the main girl's and that route is non-dik or rather Chick route and reverse for side girls did I get it right?...

Main Girls have paths, Side Girls are bundled up into the Others path, as of the end of episode 8.

We have the

Jill Path

Sage Path

Isabella Path

Josy Path(including Maya)

And finally The Others

Any talk of relationships or endings is just people shitposting, they don't know what the future entails, and based on most discussions here, they don't even know the current story.

Dude if you're not looking for a story driven game and just looking to fap BADik is not for you.

An important note about this game is (unless you install a mod) you can't get all the girls in one play through. You're not meant to. At one point in the game, if you've been stringing along a bunch of girls, you actually have to decide which one you'd like to be with, and break it off with the others, or you can even break it off with all of them.

Whilst anyone with the harem mentality will be frustrated by this, it does open the game up for multiple playthroughs with multiple playing styles.

After the first play through you've already kinda got the impression from all the girls, and it isn't too hard to work out how to chase one girl or another. It's pretty clear Maya or Jill wouldn't go for an asshole kinda character, and since Josy's lumped in with Maya, she doesn't get a say (story of Josy's life), Bella and Sage are a lot easier.

The only problem is it's a very long game by now (I don't know exactly how long a full playthrough without getting bogged down in pixel hunts and render searches would take), and I get that not everyone is thrilled with the idea of playing the game all over again.

But given there's roughly 5-6 months between episodes, there's plenty of time to sneak another playthrough in before a new episode comes along.

 

[felicemastronzo]

ah forgot a little something... affinity is by far not the only creterium to be with a girl, your decision along the way matters too in a big way... even as a chick you can lose Jill if you make some wrong turns here and there, same goes for bella... to put it simple, to act like a chick-manwhore you will not have a chance with Jill or Bella in the end. (Bella for one finds out about cathy, and Jill will sense that you have going on much at the side in the end if youre fucking around too much, and to be a chick wont safe you here)

So overall, there are so many different ways and outcomes in this game... didnt saw anyhting like that so far on F95 or anywhere else in a VN.

I don't agree so much

in the end affinity is the only condition that can exclude you from a relationship, about choices it is quite debatable, in the end the choices you pay for are the ones that of them mark that you have no interest primarily in one relationship or another, and not even always, for example with Sage even if you reject her at first you have a second chance

then there are a couple of traps scattered here and there related to some betrayals that you can't do, but really hard to get left out of a relationship because of a choice made, the only half exception is the famous fork in the road between Jill and Sage, but even that is binding only in one sense, only for Jill, so that doesn't count either

If you play the whole game chasing a single main girl, you should have no trouble getting her.

But if your mc behaves like a DIK while chasing M&J or Jill, expect to be disappointed, otherwise, it's pretty straight forward.

If you're trying to get all the girls at once, also expect to be disappointed.

That pretty much sums it up.

why is the game divided into 1 and 2 together and the 3 part is not?
Sorry for my english

The game was getting too big so the developer capped it at ~20GB and started the new season fresh. He'll do the same after Season 3 and Season 4 (the expectation is each season will be around 20GB).

 

[Deleted member 3788572]

from an aesthetic point of view she is clearly the most realistic, probably Bianca in this might be in second place

I know you technically didn't say that, but glad to see you starting to appreciate Bianca as well. At some point, there's no way around her for DPC.

All the main girls are boring and have no personality, better off being a DIK and fucking the better girls.

Gonna use this to make my bold post of the day:
The way, by Ep. 7 and 8, Sage is 1) desperate for MC and sex (HOT party and Quinn 3some), 2) Mother Theresa (Maya) and 3) Brainy McBrain (dissertation) all combined is flat out boooring.

I can't help but feel flabbergasted when I see people say "I haven't played X route, nor plan to" why would you willingly choose to not view scenes you've never seen before simply cause you aren't interested in that girl or nor their specific route? The completionist in me can't understand not wanting to view every scene especially where there's significant enough branching. That's just me though. No knock on anyone who only plays through these games once without change.

Well you'd have to be a pretty big completionist to play routes of characters you're not interested in imo. That's some serious time investment. Since there's a lot of time between updates, you could technically take it easy and play through everything. However, there are also other games to play and other stuff to do, so I have the 'urge' to be quickly done with it. On my first blind playthroughs I typically get a good feeling of who I like and want to pursue. Then I plan my further playthroughs. Now, my first impression could always change later on (and for some side girls in BaDIK it actually did (Lily, Sarah..), but that's a risk I'm willing to take.
In some ways, I'm a completionist as well. I always play with minigames enabled, even though those and the free roams are pretty time consuming.
Also, not playing every route stops me from engaging in discussions about the throuple or Bella/James and wasting spending even more time here.

for now it really hasn't, and after the famous crossroad it seems to me even more difficult for there to be any real consequences

take just the example you gave, M&J know about Jill, and barring severe attention deficits even the other way around, MC eventually chooses one of the two options what should ever happen?

different the issue of the side girls, there could be other traps there, like Jade and Quinn for Sage, or Becky for M&J or further on Bianca for Jill

the way the eighth chapter was constructed it becomes hard to even believe in a game over with Jill and Bella

then clear, that a faithful path is safer

I know you technically didn't say that, but glad to see you starting to appreciate Bianca as well. At some point, there's no way around her for DPC.

about Bianca I have a lot of curiosity, but I think her story will only make sense to those who have followed Jill, otherwise she is really like a random dorm girl

personally when we're talking about pixels the aesthetic is really only worth up to a point

Just for comparison, episode 4.
You wake up in Sage's house.

1) You go to the shower and fuck Melanie and Sarah
2) You take pictures of Camilla and Mona's asses
3) Quinn jerks off to you
4) Sage do a titjob
5) You lick Ashley's pussy and Lily rubs against your dick
6) The end of the evening - you fuck Sage

You wake up in Bella's house.

You're looking for which flowers to water to please Bella.

It's not too surprising if the main LIs are locked out of future romance. You gotta move forward at some point, it's ridiculous to think all the girls are just on hold for you to pick up where you left off at any given time.

Once you've chosen your girlfriend, you should move on with that. Note that the mc even calls things off with Jade when he's made his decision (assuming he chooses someone), so it tells me the "playing the field" time is over.

That's why I keep saying the remainder of the game will be less about relationship building (other than the one the mc is in) and more about the plot.

Sally is from a later date at the HOT house.

What happens in the HOT house though, makes it hard to chose Derek.

The only reason we dump Jade is for the drama. It's also the only reason we don't dump Josy/Maya before the meeting. Gotta up that drama for the Burke Family Dinner.

I would be surprisingly shocked if while on a Main Girl path we don't get any side sex in remaining chapters.

LIs will not always be available, but I also don't think they are already precluded forever.

Will only Sage give a second chance? I don't think so

also there is only Maya's and Josy's routes to deal with, which by necessity will conflict with other situations

and then there is always Zoey, who something will have to do

the plot? wich plot?

 

[dalli_x]

As someone with a college degree in engineering and natural science, I can politely object: there is an objective reality, there are stable constants in the universe, and the facts are real.
We all have different opinions, that's the way people are, but there are undeniable things in the world.
What Derek and Sarah say is hard to argue with. Derek has a position in biology, Sarah uses it too, but in a financial manner. She'll make a million dollars in a year on Onlyfans and it will be a strong argument against Maya's words that "women shouldn't use their bodies". Don't take the last words personally, I like Maya too)
Moreover, Sarah is right that these gender lessons are just chatter that does not solve anything. For example, how will they help Maya? Maya is facing a real injustice - she is being persecuted by her crazy homophobic father. How can gender lessons help here? No way.
Here the jurisprudence can really solve this problem. Because Patrick has done a whole criminal case. Blackmail, credit fraud, stalking, abusive relationship with daughter. For this he can be put in jail for a long time. Just need some financial help from Burke to get a cover and then a good lawyer.

Maya's words "women shouldn't use their bodies" imply that this is her subjective opinion. But Maya tolerates the girls who do because she sees feminism for what it really is. The equality of all people. So she sees the prostitutes objectively as human beings.

For Sarah, the gender studies discussion is really just chatter, and for the MC, too. Why, really? Because most students misunderstand feminism. They only discuss women's rights and their personal problems. The MC was able to arrange to have a discussion with Maya in EP6. She wanted to talk to the MC about a chapter in the textbook, but the MC didn't study. So she couldn't talk to the MC about it and immediately tickled his balls a bit as punishment. But she asks the MC to let them study for it in pairs, which they do in EP6. In this, you can read Maya's attitude well while she helps the MC study for the gender study.

 

[znar25]

Only if you want to spend a night in jail or end up with a toy car up your ass

Hey, just because your party with them ended up that way doesn't mean we will.

 

[znar25]

It's good to see Sarah's getting some love, Warscared would be pleased.

Initially I liked Sarah, then it started to piss me off that she was always asking for money for sex (of course it's part of her role in Quinn's restaurant, but even so...).

But her exchange at the dorm party, if you tell Quinn you'd like to fuck Sarah and you also chose hers as the best ass, was interesting:

Sarah: "By the way, what did you tell Quinn about me?"​

mc: "Hm... Refresh my memory."​

Sarah: "She told me not to charge you the next time. If you catch my drift..."​

mc: "Oh. Well, she asked me which one of you I liked the most and, naturally, it is you."​

Sarah: "It's not the first time you've told girls you like me."​

Sarah: "Dammit, Fuckface. You shouldn't... I'm not the kind of girl to be serious with a dude."​

mc: "Never say never. I like you."​

Sarah: "Are you not ashamed to admit that?"​

mc: "Why would I be? You're super-hot, Sarah."​

​

I kinda get the impression that's the game telling you there will never be anything between the mc and Sarah. She enjoys his big dick, but she has no feelings for him.

I always preferred Melanie over Sarah's though. I like how the two of them are a duo, but they do have different personalities. Quinn's likes them both (hence why she brings them over to watch Maya grind the mc before she tasers him), but Melanie's personality seems a little softer.

But I feel, other than being a meaningless side fuck from time-to-time, and Melanie being part of the Chad/Troy drama, I don't think much will come of these two.

I think it could go both ways. Sarah mentioned something at the pool once of why she doesn't date guys or something. One possibility could be she was and/or could be hurt bad and thus avoids it. Maybe, maybe not but there could be something distant down the road for a Sarah side-path much like Lily or Nicole? It at least leaves an option for DPC incase he wants to take that further.
