A Woman’s play-through of BADIK, a “case study”

[Chief WindPlays]

So me and the fiancé have reached episode 7, right at the start after the backstory. My fiance has had a mostly abstinent play style, minus the teachers, she has done stuff with every teacher you can in the game, which is interesting.

She started off going for josy or Maya, then discovered their big secret and dropped them for Jill, and didn’t realize Jill is a particular girl and wants particular players. We just reached the end of episode 6 with it saying “I think we’re friends” so that was awkward. She has Bella as an option or always sage who wants you usually. I found it very interesting the approach she took, and if she says no to sage she might either only have Bella or possibly no one since she didn’t really hook up throughout the game.

At a guess if I am reading you correctly there's at least one major problem. I am also presuming she is on a Neutral Affinity playthrough and chose to look after an ill Sage instead of ... Jill's unscheduled picnic date offer. That's a red flag for Jill appart from having a ♥♥♥ Affinity. Jill requires your MC to accept her picnic date offer and prefers a Chick Affinity MC but will accept a Neutral Affinity MC. As in an MC who chose no more that 4 ♥♥♥ major choices leading into Episode 8. Specifically the end of the B&R semester exams period.

Sadly she didn’t even get the offer for the picnic. She missed something somewhere with Jill leading up ( I think the “take it further on Bella’s couch )

lol Nicholas wrong again and not even about your weird stuff straight up mechanical errors Jill affinity check is during fight for her in 7 which makes the max for major choices 7 out of the 13 at that point as neutral works just fine Jill is the only one who can't end with a PermaDIK affinity all the rest can. As for the Bella though if she got with Cathy she will lose Bella there so if she didn't get with Sage at the HOTs party thinking she has Bella she will end up on others with what is left of the teachers she has been with.

Damn, my fiance is gonna end being a ♥♥♥ as forever alone 😂 or with sage. Since she didn’t hook up with others throughout the whole game. It appears men and women play this game somewhat differently, from my experience anyways.

DPC's wife alpha tests but he is so secretive with the plot even with her that she ended up comboing Sage and Jade as she was only with Jade and then added Sage in 7 since she clearly could tell Jade wasn't a main to pursue. Got quite the reaction when she saw the end of 8

So you seriously want to make as many ♥♥♥ major choices as possible obviously. Well that is not how I usually play so I have never tested how many major ♥♥♥ choice I can make before the semester exams. So I don't see what I said as a miss-step at all.So what I said is my preference when playing a playthrough with Jill as the MG choice. I minimise ♥♥♥ choice and play either a Chick Affinity playthough or what I call a Chick-leaning Neutral Affinity playthough. Thus I will not walk back anything I have stated or suggested.
Thus what you say is INCORRECT from a Jill playthough perspective. We're talking about JILL. NOT Bella or the other MGs. For a Jill playthough the idea is to avoid or minimise as much as possible ANY ♥♥♥ Affinity or flavour choice because any of these choices will negative impact a Jill playthough experience. Since I have noticed that Bella AND Bianca more flexiable than Jill torwards ♥♥♥ choices.

You still did it wrong it isn't the exams where the check happens it is the fight for Jill spot after the last major of 7 so you only have 13 majors that matter towards Jill accepting MC

I don't care about the maximum Major ♥♥♥ choices before one is locked out of the Jill path because that should never be of concern in a Jill playthrough. Because to me if you are on a Jill playthrough making major ♥♥♥ Affinity choices should not be a priority. Major ♥♥♥ choices in a Jill playthrough are for story flavour/variety only. Thus I am not playing it wrong in any way. I am just NOT maximising my major ♥♥♥ Affinity choices as you obviously prefer to do. But of course you can't see that because your default play style is obviously ♥♥♥ Affinity.

No that isn't what this is about you are saying ♥♥♥♥ that is flat out wrong with how the checks work as the way you talk about neutral acts as if it is the same as ♥♥♥ it is not and never will be. I am far from a default playstyle the fact you say that at all is hilarious.

I highly doubt DPC would build up a 3 person relationship that seems to be starting to go really positive and then just delete it. That sounds like the worst idea. Why does Nicholas think that? I keep seeing how everyone hates this guy but unsure why

Don't mind nicholas, he always gets some wild ideas and presents them as facts, regardless of how much they contradict in-game events, progression, etc.

Odd, don’t see why he would do that. Theorize is one thing but stating as fact doesn’t make sense. Also, what’s your favorite Maya and josy scene?

With both of them? Hmm, hard to pick, but probably the one by the end of ep4 where MC stop being a sodding snowflake and talks to Maya and Josy, three of them come clean to each other, Maya and Josy forgive each other and give MC a trial period in their relationship, and then short talk in Maya's room and the throuple cuddling together
