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

[Lostanddamned]

I don't think so Neil is the father of Nicole's child. I rather suspect Stephen. Why?

We know that Jade and Stephen had long term relationships with other partners before their marriage. According to this, there was once a bachelor farewell party for Stephen before he married Jade.

Shazba wrote a bit above so Nicole complained on Swyper so she got pregnant and couldn't go to college as a result. The Nicole preview EP9 implies something academic. Teacher or Student. What if Nicole dressed as a student or teacher 10 years ago, was the stripper at Stephen's bachelor party?

I don't think he will reveal who the father is. If he revealed that our homie Stephen is the father, it's going to cause him more headaches with the NTR outrage (even though technically it's not NTR, but people just don't get it).

For the same reason he didn't show James kissing Bella in the flashback - better to be safe than sorry.

Jade is incapable of having kids, right? It's why Tybalt and Sage are adopted?

 

[Geralt From Rivia]

And that's perfectly acceptable. I typically wouldn't, either - but it's a game, not real life. If I'm going to be raising kids of any sort I'd better have had a hand in making them.

Or at least a lot of fun trying to. In the game, though, MC could be a positive role model (anything's possible) for the kid. And why? Because she's hot, she's willing, and most importantly, she shares. These are all excellent qualities.

I still don't wish such a future for the MC. I try almost all the paths, but this one is likely to bypass

It is not an NTR will not be an NTR because Nicole is only a side girl. The MC can't have a relationship with her, therefore no NTR.

I really only see 2 additional LI's if DPC decides to add LI's. Quinn and/or Zoey.

 

[felicemastronzo]

For the record, I wouldn't change teenage shazba's story one bit! But there's definitely a big difference between looking after your own kid and getting saddled with someone else's kid at a young age.

Plus, reading between the lines, I get the impression Nicole's son is about 10-12 years old. She's 30 now and on Swyper she complains that she got pregnant instead of going to college. So the mc wouldn't even be 10 years older than the little turd, that's just awkward.

I didn't get full custody until just over 5 years ago, and getting stares from cougars when you're in your mid twenties picking up your kid from school is one thing , but looking like you're still in school yourself, even the cougars would start to feel conflicted.

we don't know if we'll see the end of the school year (and the game...) and you're worried about when you'll have to take Nicole's son to school?

I'd love to but I doubt sweet Nicole will get her ending, or at least an ending so complete that we'll have to worry about her son

She thinks she is but the jokes on her since she will be pregnant by the end of the game

 

[den_tiger]

That's what she thinks. Maybe it will be confirmed if the pregnant girl is one of the girls her husband fucked.

the father of Nicole's child will probably not be revealed because it does not matter

building a drama on a secondary character that will impact on very few players makes no sense, it is a pointless effort that DPC will not take on

Unless it's some drama to tie in the story with, but IMO it's not worth the effort. Like he has way too many unsolved plots to deal with already as it is, adding another one is unnecessary.

How many songs are affected by the Friday Prophets removal? Punk Rock Flu and Amsterdam? Anything else?

let's assume that even for those who are dating Nicole, knowing who the father is would matter if and only if there was a risk of them getting back together
otherwise the ntr value of a fuck 10 years earlier is very relative

Nicole, to return central to the plot, could be one of the first students annoyed by Burke, James's mistress (since we know nothing about him it's all worth it) or Neil's missed condom (which 10 years after Lynette's death would also be jutified)

none of the 3 hypotheses excites me

 

[felicemastronzo]

We will not know if it makes sense until we know who the father of Nicole's child is. You can't rule out the sense without knowing the story behind it.

Only at the end of BaDIK will we know if it made sense to reveal the father of Nicole's son, and as long as the end has not yet been reached, I suppose it can be relevant.

Another thing is whether it's personally important for me to know. I don't really care.

in fact I did not go so far as to make absurd theories

but Nicole remains a secondary character, in many games little more than an extra. so to put her at the centre of something important, something universal in the plot, would be strange. for the majority of players whether it is Nicole or any other character would change very little

 

[Ir0n Ma1den]

It's not NTR however DPC won't risk the reaction of the anti-NTR brigade who have a VERY loose definition of what NTR is. DPC won't even show other guys using Quinn's restaurant even though we know Fuckface is not the only customer.

He is smart, some things are better left ambiguous and for interpritation of the reader. The best books and media are those that engage with the readers fantesy and leave him room for imegination.

[Ir0n Ma1den]

I don't know what about you but I hope that the tinder app in being a d1k returns, I laughed so hard and some of the roasting comments.

and please don't tell me that the friday prophets are removed from the game, I can't imagine the game without them.

Nah, I'm just saying, a less than 10 year age gap between step dad and step son would be really fucking weird.

He did it with Riona and her stalker, and I don't even believe that one is solved yet, and while Riona's character feels more related to a main plot line (Quinn and her drugs), Nicole's relationship with the mc was pretty full on. But I do agree, Nicole's ex-husband shouldn't matter at all. We've still got Bella's (dead/AWOL/ex-)husband to be concerned about, no point in adding more of the same.

On the note of side characters and separate story arcs, there are quite a few:

• The new pregnancy scare (it's obviously not gonna be any of the main LI's and if it's not Lynette in a flashback, it's gonna be some side character drama)
• Mona leaving the HOTs was a side drama
• The Jade/Stephen marriage drama
• The Cathy Cluck
• The Dany/Jam Jam pregnancy scare as well as their on again/off again relationship problems
• The Dawe/Arieth infidelities
• The Heather/Tommy relationship issues
• The Lily/Quinn drug association
• The Magnar/Sally relationship troubles (although that could end up just being a throwaway line)
• The Melanie/Troy drama (I mean there was no need for anyone else to be involved in the Troy/Chad/Sage drama, but Melanie and Sarah were involved, as red herrings obviously, but still it's their own little side drama)
• The Steve family drama (don't know if we'll ever see Steve again anyway, it may have just been some lame Chick/DIK meaningless choice)
• Riona's stalker like I mentioned above.
• Derek & Wendy's love affair, with him avoider her and her getting all serious, and for all we know, she's pregnant
• And Finally Zoey, who, if she isn't a new LI, an entire fucking Interlude was spent on her and a bunch of dudes we'll hopefully never see again.

So on that note, there's no real indication that DPC won't introduce Nicole's husband just to add some grief in her story line.

That's actually something that I've liked about this game from the beginning. There are a lot of stories going on that aren't all revolving around the mc, but are interesting enough to stay entertaining.

They're gone, 4 years after the fact when it's fuckin' pointless, they're gone.

 

[FappingWorldwide]

It is not an NTR will not be an NTR because Nicole is only a side girl. The MC can't have a relationship with her, therefore no NTR.

Absolute heresy. #LetusMarryNicole.

 

[felicemastronzo]

I agree with you that Nicole is a minor character. But the MC can have sex with her in EP3. She writes her name on the MC's dick. The MC shows that to the DIK's and Maya could have seen it the same way.

I just want to clarify with this so that Nicole is still involved in the story and therefore a part of the story. Where the story will take us I don't know of course.

Theorizing is fun and encourages creative thinking. It is up to everyone whether he wants to do that or not. Since you apparently have no interest in it, I take over this gladly for you.

precisely, MC 'could'

but the only obligatory step is that Mc knows that Nicole is a stripper at the Pink Rose, the same way he knows the girl who works in the cafeteria and the college receptionist.

plus we know she's a client of Lily's

only this is Nicole's "obligatory" involvement in the overall story

there is also no comparison between Riona's role and Nicole's...

Riona is Quinn's shadow, so much so that major suspicions about the real stalker involve Quinn more than Riona strictly

the mildly interesting stories all involve MC... even the difficult marriage between Jade and Stephen becomes much less interesting without MC's involvement

many of the ones listed are pure fillers that ran out as soon as they were used (like Dany's pregnancy..)

and the same would be for the revelation of Nicole's ex-boyfriend (if it wasn't someone shocking), 10 renders and 2 minutes of gameplay
