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

[Meushi]

But she never extends that same understanding to her relationship with the MC. She even acknowledges, to Bella, that she fucked up and 'wants to fix it', but never once acknowledges to the MC that she should stay the fuck out of his business when he's told her to.

But given the outcome of the event in question she actually did know better than MC in that particular case.

on what occasion would MC get involved in an affair he was told to stay away from? maybe with Quinn?

Yeah, except that he (DPC) has made it very clear this is based on an American university

it has nothing to do with whether Jill is right or not, it has to do with whether she has the right, and she doesn't

Ilhares and others have brought up this notion Jill has no right to interfere when MC asked her not to multiple times. It's baseless.

I'm not familiar with the US college experience, but a cursory glance suggests that like educational institutions elsewhere there's no tolerance for violence on campus & there's an expectation to report incidents (

). Given the in-game B&R disciplinary meeting, it's obvious their institution has similar rules. So Jill has every 'right' to report the incident.

The 'wants to fix it' comment was because she realises following the rules & reporting it has damaged her relationship with the MC, not that she did the wrong thing. Looking the other way is how bullying & other chronic violence persists, if anything reporting it is the moral thing to do.

Of course the MC & many players might not like it for various reasons, but it's got nothing to do with Jill not having the right to do so.

, had to pause the game and collect my thoughts for a while.

Btw, I just started episode 5 and the latest discussion here is about Jill only, are the other characters’ path not interesting enough? I was thinking either Sage or Josy+Maya path if it’s frustrating to be with Jill.

Last scene of episode 3.

Yeah, end of episode 3.

I was stunned for a while but I decided to go with the relationship instead of the friendship role.

All of the relationships are worthy, it just depends on who you're into. Right now the thread is talking about Jill, but if you want to talk about MJ, go right ahead.

Since this game is still in development, it’s hard to decide who to pursue as there’s no ending yet. Hence, I’ll go with the dating everyone option first until the game forces me to choose. Then, I’ll have multiple saves to explore each relationship.

It's probably worth it to start those multiple playthroughs now (after your first one), since we're ostensibly half-way through the game. The first runthrough is fun because you get to fuck around and find out, for better or worse, but the other paths are just different enough to make it worthwhile. Plus going forward, the upcoming Chapter Nine is (theoretically) where it will really start to diverge.

Ok sure, but I did have a different save before Sage’s path, before MJ’s path so I can still revisit.

Alright, thanks for the heads up. Will keep that in mind.

Sage is the BEST. Highly recommended. imo order of paths are: Sage >>>>> Maya + Josy > Bella > Jill.
Of course, no disrespect to the other characters and their paths, I personally think that all paths are good as I've played all of them. Jill could be slightly annoying at times but it's a good path to be on nonetheless.

When I first started, I thought the MG is either Josy or Maya but I was dead wrong.

Right, that’s why I selected Sage’s path now and see how it goes. I agree that Jill is annoying but I guess that’s how she was written.

I've always thought that exchange was weird. Jill makes a big deal of not telling the MC her surname supposedly because people are always trying to use her for her family. Yet when Rusty makes clear he *doesn't* know who Jill's family is, the first thing she does is pull rank on him. Similarly, as you say, this Jill is far more self-assured than the Jill who goes crying to Bella at the thought of having to live up to her deal with Tybalt. (Then again, Jill was a lot less feeble in Season 1 so the contrast wasn't quite as stark back when Episode 5 came out.)

Really, I think it just comes down to DPC being something of a sloppy writer at times. Jill hid her family from the MC to butter up the player about how super-special-awesome the MC is (and tease the mystery of her family a bit). Jill one-upped Rusty with her family because it made for a cool, humorous scene. The fact that Jill's behavior is inconsistent across both scenes doesn't really concern DPC because we weren't meant to compare them; if we were, he would have made explicit reference to the proper comparisons in the game.

DPC is very good at fleshing out his characters, it's one of his big strengths. But he's happy to cheat on small details if they get in the way of the of a given scene he wants to write.

Yes, I'm also thinking about this version, it was made for a good scene. If Jill was like this throughout the game, then I would even like her and would be much higher in the LI list.

can someone tell me next release date

Well, in the scene where MC climbs in her room at night, where she reveals she's a virgin, she states that she's confident in a lot of things, but not in this (sex/relationships), or something along those lines.

 

[mightybored]

Jill pulls rank because Rusty pulls rank, I think. Like, she saw that he was immediately trying to impress her that he was rich and somewhat famous, and Jill decided to immediately show him that she could be his equal (which is what she wants). Remember, they did date for a bit after this, we only saw the initial shutdown.

In all honestly its looking like January 2023
Take it as a xmas present if its any earlier

There are no "Sage" or "Jill" paths, at the moment (till the end of episode 8). There are different gameplays depending on your affinity (dik, chick, neutral), in fact.
Anyway, I can tell you that your gameplay experience is going to be different whether you date 1 main girl only or more than one.
Some choices will have a major impact in the story, some won't.

Josy or Maya as the main girls? it's up to you, in the end (it depends on what you answer Derek, after all). My honest feeling is that Maya and Jill are far more important than Sage, Josy and Bella.

Alright, understood but my affinity keeps shuffling.

I guess I haven’t reached the episode where Derek asked me yet. But, both Josy and Maya likes the MC as much as he likes them so it’s hard to decide but if it’s up to me I prefer Maya.
