I really wish there were two separate Sage LI paths, one for DIK and one for CHICK.

• CHICK Sage path would be a traditional love story with MC saving the princess/damsel in distress (i.e., saving Sage from nearly everyone in her immediate circle - her family, Quinn and HOTs involved in drugs/prostitution, Chad, etc.).
• DIK Sage path would be absolute debauchery with two sub-paths: one in which Quinn and/or Jade (nice!) are brought into their love life (resulting in a bad ending), and one in which others (HOTs/Pink Rose girls/etc.) are brought into their love life (resulting in temporary intimacy issues that are overcome through mature communication and a spicy good ending).

This would at least resolve the narrative inconsistency of 'two Sages' that so many have perceived across the seasons.

 

[Train of Thought]

Damn, having played through this episode, I must say it was one of the best if not the best episode of the game thus far

I tried to avoid the forum for the time being while I was going through Episode 9, but then came here to see the posts, and was very surprised to read some of the posts saying this was 'subpar' or one of 'the worst episodes' of BADIK
After reading such comments, I was trying to understand if we have played the same episode because this one was great and definitely delivered on what was promised
1) Everyone was waiting for a huge grandeur Halloween party --> We got it
2) We wanted screentime for every main LI --> We got it and then some with the other girls
3) We wanted hot sex scenes --> We got those, though not in abundance if you're doing just one pt, but that's not really a bad thing
4) Replayability? --> This episode has plenty with many people saying they got 10+ saves after this episode (probably the best episode for replayability)
5) Decent playing time? --> We also got that if you're not just holding Ctrl for the whole episode, it's at least 3+ hours for a pt and that's barring most of the multiple free roams that were in this episode
6) We got the resolution to the Burke meeting and some texting/chatting action with the non-main LIs for the people on the Others path
7) Vinny has finally made his present-time appearance which was long anticipated, and he sure made an impression
8) Lastly, we got great music for this episode, many songs could easily be added to the Favorites list

P.S. The mini-game was fun too, although I understand it might not be for everyone, it delivered on its promise and goal, but it could be disabled if need be, so I am not counting it

All in all, this was definitely a great episode, and I hope DPC keeps up for the duration of this season

I checked his Patreon, it's skyrocketing amid the release. It was 11700 at the beginning of the month, 13400 at the time of release, now it is already 14700. If the majority were really disappointed, there would be an exodus of subscribers from Patreon. I'm interested to see the final numbers by the end of the month - Episode 8 gave him a record 17,500 patrons.
So most likely it's just a loud minority, but the same drama was after the release of Interlude.

I think that's too simplistic an analysis. BaDIK is an ongoing work, people will buy the new update based on their faith in DPC's previous episodes. Word of mouth matters too, but that would be more noticeable in the next week or so because it takes a little while for the first players to get their word out.

IMHO, the real impact of this episode will be how DPC does on Episode 10, both how many stick with him during the break, and how many jump aboard when it's finally released.

My game crashes right at the start when Tommy and Jacob are having a conversation, anyone else facing this issue? Please help me with a workaround on this. The last thing I can reach is Jacob saying 'For sure, it's one scary mansion' and then it crashes.

Same for me. Any solution?

 

[danieldam]

Yep ,that would be super ackward if turns out that Sage doesn't give a fcck about who we screw as long as the mc loves her (but for a person that doesn't believe in open realtionship IRL, i dont think that would work IRL i mean )

Plus she got mad at chad for cheating. So i think its more her being into having women for threesomes only i guess

 

[Incognymous]

I hate Vinny. And I pity Dawe... Which is odd.

 

[danieldam]

As a Jm throuple fan i think they got the best update . Threesome finally happened and theyre getting along way better now. Plus cake keeps fucking teasing a foursome including sage which i gotta say will be the peak of the series.

Watch the "tale of 2 Sages" we are witnessing is purposely done as foreshadowing of her true mental state. I would not be surprised if DPC pulls some kind of shenanigans like he did in his last game. IIRC DPC has said no shenanigans like last game, but deep down I don't fully trust his word. lol

does anyone have a better solution for this?

The placement of the guys and their needs are pretty much different for everyone.

ah okay, thanks

Plus she got mad at chad for cheating. So i think its more her being into having women for threesomes only i guess

the problem with chad was that he didn't fuck her at least once. That was the real problem. if he was fucking her, giving her a good dick, she wouldnt care that much. But he never tried or wanted to fuck her, wanted to keep being her boyfriend, and was fucking someone else, was too much for her to handle. With MC, at least she knows he'd been fucking most of the hots. She also knew about the things with josy and Maya. etc.

F in the chat for punk rock flu though

not quite there are 12 boards total and that boards heightest getting all events is 7.25 but all depends on opening options item u picked.

 

[Jericho85]

I hate Vinny. And I pity Dawe... Which is odd.

Seems like DPC is teasing a diplomacy branch between the frats. Much like Lucas, Gordon and Christian are the "ambassadors" for the preps, I have a sneaking suspicion that Dawe will be at the center of mending things with the DIKs.

IMHO, the real impact of this episode will be how DPC does on Episode 10, both how many stick with him during the break, and how many jump aboard when it's finally released.

Also, to add, there's a good chunk of people who support during a release month to get the update, then cancel. Only supporting during a release month, because no one is obligated to continuously support during non-release months.

Josy indicated she would be interested in a foursome with Jill, Sage, or Lily . IMO, each of these may become a possibility in different circumstances and with different outcomes:

Hi i can't click on keg in tommy's room, can someone find the way to fix it

Although I answered you with " There's no fix. You must find the tap first. It's in the task list. ", there is indeed a bug here. If the player gets the keg first (which can happen), then gets the tap second, you cannot progress due to the fucked up code. I've found the issue in the code and I'll fix it in SanchoMod.

It boils down to this fucked up code:

if "ep9_diks_ph1_tap_event_label" in event_list:
    $ task_list[5] = ""
    $ updateTaskList()
    jump endEvent

If the player gets the tap second then that conditional is useless... as the keg would now be in the event list, not the tap. So, although my answer for you is correct (must find the tap first), I can see where this could be confusing for more than a handful of folks. Regards.

Edit: It's semi-sorted... map jump seems to bork it but not 100% of the time. I'm looking into it.
