One thing I'm not understanding about some of these comments is the averse reaction to the idea that MC will have to face consequences for certain decisions (sleeping around) with LIs... I'm not sure if the complaint is that there are consequences or if it's hard to know when actions will trigger consequences, however... both of those things seem somewhat realistic. In real life, sleeping around is like rolling the dice. Maybe you'll get away with it, maybe you won't. But if you expect no consequences, that's completely unrealistic. You really think MC can be a hoe on a college campus and word won't travel and reach the ears of the women you've been trying to romance or deduce what's going on?!
Somewhat related: I agree that some of the CHICK/DIK affinity/status checks/choices are kind of counter-intuitive, but I'm not really sure how DPC could fix that, especially this far in. It's definitely not lost on me that being a DIK is really only a successful path for one main LI (Sage) either, so there's a lack of balance there. The walkthroughs definitely help but if you're someone who doesn't like using walkthroughs, I could see how this game could get frustrating because some of the choices that cause you to LOSE RPs aren't necessarily what you'd expect (for example, when you first meet Jill, if you're a DIK, complimenting her causes you to lose a point or two with her).
