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

I am curious of how Bianca route will progress from a save like that? She sees you breaking up with Jill like you being a piece of shit that destroyed her friend, or green light to pounce?

Bianca:

 

[Chillout1984]

So are Nora, Cathy and Isabella. Do you believe all of them to be nothing but "bad ideas" that will have nothing but negative consequences for the MC to engage with?

We didn't know Nora was a teacher. If she didn't break it of, us as players should have a chance at that moment.
The other two: Not "nothing but", but yes, I would expect at least some negative consequences.

if we include Bella and Sage lewds, everyone in the main group is now your ex, getting replaced by your ex-iest ex.
Josy and Jill probably betrayed the hardest.

MC is just a piece of meat for Bianca, just like Arieth seems to think about him

I once played a famous game. There was a choice that led to unexpected consequences and often you wanted to do the best, but your actions would led to terrible consequences. How could I know that the desire to save children from witches by releasing the spirit of the forest would lead to the nearest village being exterminated by this spirit, and Baron Philip Stenger would hang himself from grief, because the witches would turn his wife Anna into a monster. Or that the decision to save the sorcerers from Novigrad would lead to another witch hunt, only this time against other minorities.
Was I angry, upset about this? No. Such is life. An action that seems right and innocent to you can lead to sad consequences. DPC games are like that. A seemingly ordinary action can backfire on you. And this distinguishes BaDIK and AL from thousands of other wanking games and one of the reasons why the game stands out from the rest.
ElectronicRoberts recently posted a 200 page fan guide to BaDIK that he made himself. Name me one game that inspires people to do this. Look at it this way.

There are clues in the game, especially if you study the world carefully. You can buy a book from merchants, where it says that the mother of the famous three witches was a monster and practically drowned Velen in blood. So the outcome doesn't seem so ambiguous anymore.
There's no hint in this game that Jade could be Sage's mother.
I'm immensely grateful to ElectronicRoberts for his hard work, but I don't like that this game now has to be guided through like some Elden Ring.

I'm pretty sure MC's endgame on this run is to move out of state, change his name, and join Witness Protection. It's gonna be a bloodbath.

Especially if you also got the blowjob from Cathy in Bella's car.
"hell has no fury like a woman scorned", let alone someone backed up by a friend who already warned MC.

 

[NebulousShooter]

Actions can have unknown consequences. Having sex with a teacher and married woman is likely to have them, even if in this case the specific consequence is unexpected. It's a risky decision in general.

If this was just a porn game that could be glossed over. But it was pretty clear to me from fairly early that DPC wants to tell an adult drama story. Since then I've approached every decision I've made from the perspective of "my main LI(s) might likely find out about this," at least on runs where I care about the main relationship.

As someone very critical of choices with zero hints attached to them, like the Rusty one kicking you out of Bianca's route, where playing blind there were zero clues, or correlations between the two(the hindsight hypocrisy is weak sauce for me, I want to make educated guesses, not play the lottery with choices ) I have no problem with the Jade/Sage one.

I might not been able to predict how it will bite me in the ass when I was playing blind, but I knew some consequence will be coming my way and that is good enough for me.

Same, i hate these kind of choices so much. Its even fine when kind of random things happen as a consequence to your choice (like jade being revealed as sage's mom), thats similar to real life lol but there has some kind of logical tie to the decision.

Im not even sure were 100% doomed on the jade/sage path as long as we didnt shared the video, there may be variants where its possible to come clean about it and sage forgives/understands it if the player has a low enough amount of cheating points.

I would add to these choices, the condition of choosing Dick Zoey... so much potential !

Yes, MC tells Derek that Sage is his long term relationship if he has less than 4 tc's. It's even in Jade's way.
I'm guessing ts will be critical for all branches of LI.
But apparently the most heavily critical will be for Jill, given that Jill has Bianca, Zoey, Sage around her.
Imagine if the game offers a threesome to Sage and Jill, and the next day Jill dumps you because it was a test.
Women love a test.

lol in that case i would gladly go with the threesome and sage, bianca or zoey afterwards girls doing these kind of test are way too exhausting anyway

Why exactly do you believe there should be negative consequences here? This isn't Aesop's fable. This is also not a realistic story by a long shot (re: the discussion about how dumb it is for all the MGs to potentially keep together, never mind all the other stupid bits and pieces) so why hooking up with older woman is supposed to be a rare exception?

Sage upper limit was 4, I heard throuple is 3, Jill has to be 1. I think I got 7 just to do Bianca scenes and I think I skipped 5 more in the hot tub choice?

 

[saynotoNTR]

I assumed it was Ron.
But now I'm inclined to think that the person who enters the dinner is Quinn at all, given that she needs proof that Buddy and the others were involved in the crimes. And Jill is Lana's sister. She probably decided to ask Bella before she went to Jill.
Besides, Quinn often wears hoodies.

The paradigm shift has come for everyone except Quinn. She's still the same old Quinn. She hasn't learned anything from Riona's situation. She won't ask for help, that's it.

I fear she's just painted a bigger target on Riona's back by calling the police - who clearly won't be able to arrest Buddy, Vinny and Mick for some reason.

There was no direct evidence that Jade was Sage's mother. But I'll tell you, this whole affair with her smelled bad and I felt a catch. Horny teacher harasses you right in class and she's also an element of hell week. When I showed this video to Derek back in 2020 on my first and only save at the time, I suspected that I was making a mistake.
Even the relationship with Bella, despite the fact that I like her, makes me suspicious. That secret room and the tears in her eyes when MC kissed her in the library.

Regarding Sage's last name: speaking as someone who spent 8 years in college (4 years more due to the pandemic), I never knew the last name of 90% of my classmates. I had no idea whether or not there were teachers who were married and taught in the same course; or even if they were married to other employees who worked at the same college. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of college colleagues whose last name I knew, and even then only when I had to hand in a written assignment. After that, I completely forgot their last name. Do you know why? It never made the slightest difference to my education to know that. With the exception of a few teachers (my course had at least 25 teachers), I never knew their last names or their personal lives. So, from my experience, it's not at all impossible for MC to spend so much time without connecting A with B, especially when one of the parties uses a different last name. Unlikely, perhaps; impossible, no.

P.S: I want more of Tiffani, Tara and Bianca!!!!

To be fair, they didn't say there "should" be consequences, just that they expect there will be. I think it's been clear for a very long time that DPC likes consequences, so they really shouldn't be unexpected.

Tiffani a freak.
One of my fav scenes in this last episode.
She just needs to trim that bush.

All good, my reply to you actually inspired another user to reply to me and he provided some examples of very good boards for all parties without Pink Weib. I think he straight up got the best score possible (legally) for the Halloween Party using the DIK Party perk, neither Pink Weib nor Multiplier Madness. So at the end of the day your point was proven right

If you wanna see some of the other parties, check out his other posts!

Nice thanks for sharing, will check them out later. Yeah those parties did look pretty good (I also discovered I rolled the worst halloween board).
When are the boards rolled? I assume it's start of episode? Rehwyn ?

Was the father of any of your classmates in question the principal of said college? And it never came up?

(i mean in the context where those classmates were someone you'd meet and/or talk about with others. Not merely people you shared the classroom with and never interacted with in any form)
