Want? Yes. Expect? No. Not in 11.

Heather only just broke up with Tommy. Something can happen, but I don't expect it. Elena only just got some proper teasing. Nothing before ep 10 really counts. Ep 12 earliest. Would be happy to be wrong about that one.

Sally and Bianca are much more likely based on the previews. Seriously disappointed if there's nothing with Sally. Bianca however is likelier to have a moment that won't cross a line. Build up for that cheating. MC doesn't know about her relationship problems on Others. He only knows if Jill's path is open in season 2 and that blocks the Others path. You can choose another main girl over Jill, but the result is the same. Bianca is for cheating.

Anal with J&M? Actually I'd expect just one of them and it would be more satisfying if Maya were the first. It would defy the expectation.

After the latest previews, I think it's certain that Maya and Josy will have an anal sex scene.

If not in a 5some
Remember what DPC said about doing a scene involving a combination of girls that will be appreciated?

It was "a new combination of girls", just to potentially temper that expectation. Among so many pairings/groupings that this can be accurate for, you have "Madam Rose and..."

Yeah, y'all are gonna end up with 4 scenes of Mdm Rose and like it. I can't believe we wasted 3 scenes on that.

I'm replaying BaDIK for prep last season release, is there a guide fast-track relationship chart so I know which sides to take with for the saves? :HideThePain:

Few things,

I wish there was a way to select mini games, I like brawler and the new science mini game, but the new maths one and the party planner stuff fucking sucks

Also, is there a list of the money pickups throughout the game? You're constantly broke without mini games otherwise

Definitely suggest it, but will they both do it?

Although it would have a certain symmetry to it if all main paths got anal in season 3. Sage in ep 9. Bella in ep 10. J&M in ep 11. Jill in ep 12.

Spent the last 2 weeks or so playing the game through all the paths. Thought I'd share my thoughts with some likeminded folk.
First, I'm not sure if I'm sad I found the game this late, or sad I found it too early. Discovered I could actually like VNs through Our Red String and this probably ties that for me in terms of story and characters. And goes well above it in branching and ambition.

Main criticism is that (until Zoey showed up at least) every girl with a tattoo is a whore or a stripper. It's an old cliche,but I've known way more slutty non tatted girls than tatted girls. Minor annoyance, but it is what it is.
Full DIK is easily the most fun (even without being a manwhore) but the gay gardening putdowns put me off a bit. Seems out of character even as an asshole.

Maya: She had me in my first run but all her substance was frontloaded imo. She starts great and becomes dull later on. Maybe its just Josy stealing her spotlight but shes's just lacking the spark you had in the beginning. Also, how MC didn't bring her over for a movie date on his big TV just baffled me.

Josy: She's cute and the only reason I stayed on the path after a while. Her pillow fort was one of my favorite "dates" in the game. But mostly I feel bad for her. She wants what Maya might never give. To be happy and romantic in public. I feel like a lot of her self esteem issues (yes I know its a game) dwell from living in the closet. She does nothing but hold herself back. And you can see it hurts. I also really like that she is a Neutral affinity choice.

Jill: The sweetest path for sure. Was not expecting that costume change for halloween and it had me rolling pretty good. She's sweet but pretty boring. Which makes sense, she's new to everything. Would have made a bigger impact if the concert helping was only on the romantic path though.

Bella: Darkhorse. Did hers last and it was really touching. Really slow burn but it pays off a lot. MC is the cringiest in this one, but I can let that slide. Plus, her putting those yoga skills to work was great. I'm excited for her story, love interest or not and I cant say that about most of em.

Sage: My favorite of the official MGs. She annoyed me at first but quickly won me over. You definitely have the most chemistry with her. Her route feels natural. You're both hurt and find each other. She encourages your studying and you train her and teach her guitar. It's cute, but doesnt feel forced cute. Like many I thought she would be an airhead but she's smart as hell and freaky as hell. She solidified me in that escape room on Halloween. If you know, you know.

Others: Lily is fun.Learning how smart she was definitely took me by surprise. The rolling together thing has me hopeful for some shenanigans later on. I think shes worth her own save file for sure.
Rinoa is exactly the person I would date irl if she wasnt a literal hooker. She's cute, has the OCD perk you can tease her about. Her arcade date was the best date in the game imo. Sad I couldnt steal her on Halloween for the night to prove we could just cuddle and not fool around. Having played Acting Lessons I'm scared for her for sure.
The other others didnt really leave anything worth remarking on. Nicole is cool, bout it.

Zoey: Her story is alright. It makes sense. She is trying too hard for someone who ghosted us for so long. She's a bad friend, but I get it. I like that we can give her branching personalities. But my fav is that we can be nice or mean. Ignore most texts, refuse to hang out. I love that option. IRL, It would take me a month or two to want to just chill with someone who broke me so much and then ignored me for 8 months or so.

Quinn: Saved the best for last. My first playthrough was MJ and so I rarely talked to her and thought she deserved to be in prison or shot (though, I'm sure if maya had come out and said "Hey, I'm an actual lesbo I cant do these things." Quinn probably would have listened. She's all for punishing the shy girl, but I think she'd draw that line).
Then I did what I thought was going to be a Sage playthrough and fell for Quinn instead. And having played through them all I'd consider Quinn the be the best implemented character in the game. She easily has the most variables of any girl. She can like you, tolerate you or secretly love you. Little things like downward glances or slightly changed dialogues in scenes with other girls if she likes you. Nobody else really gets as much as she does. The hidden disappointment during sages lewd at the HOTs party was great. But itsnt there if she isnt into you. I love all of that. That's stuff that doesnt need to be in the game, but I'm glad it is. My latest playthrough was full DIK, only sleeping with Quinn and I was surprised she mentioned I never actually ordered from her restaurant. She might be a bad person, but growing up a dealers kid and who knows what else. She could be much worse. Her chemistry also feels natural and gradual. Bout died when she started calling me Babe. I can fix her.

If anybody actually read this far, thanks. Look forward to discussing ep 11 with ya.

Welcome to the thread!

Some of us have been here for years, and a lot of us have gotten jaded with this game over time (the long time between episode development is a killer), but it's still one of the best. It dominated the #1 spot on this site's rankings for a few years, but now there's some very good competition that's knocked it off that perch.

Coming into the game now and playing all 10 episodes for the first time must have been intense, you probably got a sense for how long it was as it announces each episode, but at the same time, each episode (especially the more recent ones) are mammoth lengths.

Episode 11 is just around the corner (maybe a month away, give or take), but you're gonna feel the wait for episode 12 then, it's about a year between episodes these days. Check out mpa71's post for stats on each episode, plus that post has links to other good posts:


There's going to be about 16 episodes, so we're talking roughly another 5 years before this story is complete if the developer continues at the pace of his last two episodes.

Loved your take on all the characters, and loving that you picked up on all the nuances (particularly surrounding Quinn), to me that's one of the developer's strengths.

Not sure if you've read much on this thread, but it's a great source of camaraderie for the players between episodes.

Quinn is my favourite character too. She has the most interesting development among all the girls, and given it's just a game, it's a lot of fun dealing with her.

A Quinn post you may enjoy.

Thank you. Quite enjoyed the Quinn post and the preview timeline is great.

Really hoping if you've gone full Quinn and then roll with Lily there is some fallout. There's already tension there.
I'll probably do a more leaning towards Maya run now a few of you mentioned it gets better.

And while the wait sucks, I've seen enough posts when I started to expect 2030 to be a likely finish date and I can wait. I've waited longer for worse games.
