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

[Pantsonfire]

hey do we lose the option for Maya and Josy duo automatically if we get all of Quinn's services or be a dik to Steve?

Because that's the only differences i remember making for my 1st and 2nd runs (besides perfecting the tests and unlocking more renders). Relationship points with both of them should be high for both runs and went the massive DIK route for both runs but only got the duo acceptance in the first run!

Edit: In fact the r-points for Maya were lower in my first run because I was playing mostly blind! And yet it worked out

It's not those actions but if you did all the restaurant you might have missed the almost sex scene with Maya which I think might be required, but those actions could have raised your Dik affinity score also and they won't accept if you have Dik affinity.

No, you lose them if you have DIK Affinity but not if you have Neutral or CHICK Affinity, and you also need to have had sex (or almost sex) with one or both of them.

No, the screenshot below is proof that it can be done.

I think it has to do with the major affinity options (i did 3 chick moves which were 1) storm out instead of confronting Troy, 2) Comfort Steve and 3) Support Chad

In my 2nd playthrough (also massive dik), i only did 1) and 3). There's alot of gameplay between the steve decision and the trio decision though so I might only try again for when 6.0 comes out



I did a shorter re-run where I stayed with Maya in her room (instead of threesome with Quinn and Rhiona) which led to the almost sex scenes but it wasn't enough to get the trio option. So most likely the minimum criteria is for player to have carried out at least 3 Major Chick decisions.

I'm so glad I discovered this path during my first playthrough lol because trio with Maya and Josy is fking incredible but the conventional Chick path seems abit meh compared to amount of crazy stuff that you can do as a DIK!

Supporting Chad isn't a affinity choice. You must have neutral/Chick affinity in the library scene with Josy and Maya. If you have fought Caleb or punched Tybalt after, you simply have changed your affinity to Dik.

It is not possible to get Maya and Josy with DIK affinity, it simply isn't. The walkthrough tells you this twice.



The only way that it's possible is to use the mod to change a DIK Affinity to Neutral or CHICK before that decision and then change it back afterwards.

Ok I got it. Thanks!

Damn, so the decision with Steve made the key difference after all, bumping me into the DIK affinity.

Well, 2 milf teachers as compensation really aint so bad ya know. I don't understand why you can't proceed with their paths if you picked Maya and Josy duo though, maybe just too many branching paths to code

Supporting Chad isn't a affinity choice. You must have neutral/Chick affinity in the library scene with Josy and Maya. If you have fought Caleb or punched Tybalt after, you simply have changed your affinity to Dik.

If you don't have DIK affinity in ep 5 then it locks you out of that fight, but you can still punch Tybalt and that can push you in to DIK affinity if you're 1 major DIK choice away from that, which, when it comes to M&J, doesn't make sense when you think about it.

Someone can have Neutral Affinity before the library scene, then smoke weed with Quinn, and it pushes them into DIK Affinity which causes M&J to reject the MC, yet mere minutes before that they wouldn't have. But then, if you keep the Neutral affinity and are accepted by them, you can punch Tybalt, get DIK Affinity, but they'll still be with the MC and won't dump him even though he's now changed to the affinity they apparently don't like.

This is why they Affinity system is broken and often doesn't make any sense.

Was wondering if we'd these on the weekend too, and now I don't need to wonder anymore.

Damn, what a saucy little tease. And I see she still has that oral fixation.

Maybe it was intentionally designed that way to make it kind of like a 'most rewarding path'? Because that's the feeling I'm getting from the scenes and writing. (Personal opinion: As awesome as Jade and Cathy are, they can't compete with Maya and Josy's sweetness). It's probably fair a full on dik character wouldn't gel so smoothly with them but a middling dik-neutral character seems fair - especially if you consider that they've (Maya and Josy) been progressing towards taking things slowly and seem more accepting of the MC dating other girls as well as compared to in earlier episodes when commitment might have been a much bigger issue.

I think it would be a damn shame if Maya and Josy were hardcoded to only be open to relationships with a chick or neutral-chick player

Hang on, is the Caleb fight really locked to DIK affinity? I know it requires you to have fought the Jocks in Episode 2 (which is a major DIK choice), but I thought that was the only requirement.

I don't have a playthrough that could easily test this, but the walkthrough doesn't mention anything about needing DIK affinity. So theoretically a CHICK MC could still fight Caleb, as long as he made that one DIK decision.

But no argument on the Affinity system. It's sloppily implemented and needlessly confusing.

Actually, yeah, I think it's just the fight with the Jocks, not the Affinity. But the point about how the Affinity can change to the one M&J apparently don't like when you're with them still stands.

DPC is like a heroin dealer.

He lures you in with that first fix: Beach Fun Josy.

But then you come back everyday hoping for another of the main girls or Heather or Sandy, but then you get the minor girls like Sally or Lily.

Finally, DPC will exhaust all the "background girls" and you tell yourself you'll finally get Beach Fun Sage and Beach Fun Jill, but then he trolls you and you get Beach Fun Receptionist or Beach Fun Girl In The Mall Who Derek/MC Debate Is A 5 Or 10.

*shakes head*

I'm almost 100% certain her husband is in the military. Someone else pointed out that there was a pair of combat boots in Bella's house which leads me to believe hes not dead just MIA and one day he will return and then we will see a shitstorm happen on these forums.

Then what is all of that "I forgive you" innerlog she has???
If he is in the military, and is out because of duty... then that innerlog has no sense....

 

[rateezy]

I don't think he planned that. It only happened with some people who lack compassion and empathy. Most don't hate them though, they're just not attracted to them for their own reasons.

to be fair i'm not gonna say the word "hate", it just feel so bad being betrayed like that.

Really? Do you also complain in shooter games when the player's health increases instantly after taking meds?

The point is, IT IS A GAME! It's easy to comment about the flaws in things, but you need to understand that it is incredibly hard to design game mechanics that make sense when you compare it with real life. This game already tracks a lot of decisions which make it pretty consistent but what you're asking for requires a whole another level of variable tracking and isn't easily scalable. So, while the Affinity-Status system isn't perfect, I very much like it for the flexibility it provides the players with. It's a wonderful construct that tunes the MC's personality with time and adds replayability to the game. I do however agree with ename144 that a couple of DPC's design choices made the whole system somewhat confusing. But hey, it is implemented pretty well for the most part and I'd definitely not call it broken.

Hey, so I wanted to install the unofficial android but it appears in white, what do I have to do to download it?
