Episode 6 - Preview #3: ???

I hope it doesn't go too dark. Acting Lessons was a great game, but not one I'm likely to revisit any time soon.

Jake Codes

I think Quinn will be showing up to let them know she is short on cash at some point.

Allen0206

It's a beautiful palace, but I don't know what to think

Hiro

Derek: You can party with my crack

Jayden

I totally understand that but most of the discussion is relating to AL.... I for one do hope it'll take a different route than AL because if I wanted the same gameplay I could just play AL instead if you understand where I'm going. I daresay that we're all entitled to our own opinions haha

Jayden

I don't think it's a tattoo. Look at Quinn in the last scene of ep5. The one with the fly. When Camila comes in, you can see Quinn's left temple. She's not wearing any makeup and the symbol isn't there.

David D

I think it's fun for people to discuss the possible twists and turns of the game. I think it's a totally appropriate thing to discuss on an active board.

SpitztheGreat

Plot twist: Quinn use to be that bloke

Jayden

People sure like jump to conclusions quick based on what’s happening in the game so far... like DPC said if it’s going to be 4-5 seasons long with 10-20 episodes then it’ll be that. Please enjoy the game folks, it may have its twist here and there and stop thinking it’ll be like AL it just ruins the joy for not just me but everyone else also.

Jayden

I have been nothing but impressed with your story and characters so far DPC. Yes, AL was a gut punch, but it made the choices more meaningful. So far I've really enjoyed this game, and will no doubt continue to do so. Like others I see twists on the horizon but am probably wrong about some/most of those. Keep up the excellent work.

Blacklabyrinth

I don't think it's coke. Quinn said she didn't have access to coke when dealing with Rich at the party.

David D

I don't honestly remember but wasn't Zoey's hair much shorter than this girl. It's only been six month's since Zoey and MC last had contact on social media.

David D

Yeah I agreed... But remember that the scene in picture could be linked with you choice... maybe if you paid for sex in Quinn's restaurant you will get that but if you take your way from her maybe you will not see that pic. Remember this is a game where your choice can really change the story, scene and history.

Ddraig

Well, we know that isabella and quinn's route will be the trouble maker and probably start the sad side of the story... Now that I think about it I haven't a PT where I haven't kissed Isabella.... maybe a little before of 6th chapter released I will make a new run and ignore her... Even because honestly I havven't understood why they kissed at library... my characterhad the scene with her at her house because it was an automatic but he was drunken... I really don't liked that we hadn't the option for don't kiss. I really would have the option but it's not a big problem because I can don't go to the library and not kiss her after yoga lesson maybe Jill will get you to Isabella and create problems but you can take off even that if you don't make move on her... but Quinn.,. she is linked with all hot girls and you in private way so you will have problem for sure. I hope my english is understandable. In the end like to AL you will need some tissue I guess

Ddraig

and I should say, I've been unfair in not trusting you on this. I apologize.

David D

I hope we get to see more of Zoey.

Johnny boy

Quinn is best. <3

Jeff Sandau

You reassure me DPC, I feel better.

David D

I'm gonna quote what MC tells Sarah when staying at Sage on this one, "Stop getting your news from rumors". Also, let the game speak for itself before you get riled up etc., being prematurely disappointed/happy about something that's not in the game will just ruin the ride for you and it makes it a really shitty work environment for me as well. The game will likely be 4-5 seasons long, 10-20 episodes have always been stated until I know more.

DrPinkCake

Connor, pretty sure my tits were never in an excited state. Look at the scene and take it all in then ask yourself if a mattress laying on a floor, the brick of what I assume is cocaine on a table, a scary lookin' dood with tattoos sitting there in a room or building with the windows covered by an opaque material... Logically, one would deduce this as some sort of drug den.

Jeff Sandau

That scene which you have to choose between the two still gives me nightmares. After going through the whole game so many times and having to do that scene over again and again, I have to say that I've gotten some form of PTSD from it. Not that it took anything away from the game... It's still my favorite VN of all time. (But DIK is getting there!)

Jeff Sandau

Has me worried for my girl Quinn, hope they don’t hurt her.

Xsandman78

I really, really hope everyone is wrong on this one. DPC writes great dialogue, but psycho killer? third act tragedy? Is that the only story DPC knows how to tell? So disappointing.

David D

Go play Acting Lessons. If you're a patreon you may already have access to it.

SpitztheGreat

I'm sure it will be more than 9 episodes still so much going on.

scott

Haven't played Acting Lessons but yeah you can feel it coming, I think everything goes massively downhill soon.

Gladion20

I thought someone said he wanted 4 seasons but I maybe misremembering.

Gladion20

Did I read somewhere that DPC is thinking that the entire game will be 8 or 9 episodes? And that he isn't committed to anything more than 2 seasons? If so, then David D is right, we're quickly approaching the third act, and things will be picking up. I hadn't even thought about that and it raises a whole bunch of new questions.

SpitztheGreat

I hope that she will. Honestly, I find her to be better than at least one main girl.

Man from Ba

I think you may be right but, I wish you weren't. If DPC uses the same third act tragedy in all his games it's going to be a bit too cliche.

David D

Good catch L.

David D

That'd be interesting if so - I've continued to wonder if Zoey will come back into the fold or not.

bgray9054

The two viewpoints aren't mutually exclusive - folks can be concerned for her well-being, while at the same time think of her as having a nice backside. ;)

bgray9054

I've also said for awhile the tone of this game is going to change and be similar to Acting Lessons. At the beginning the MC is telling a story about "family" and what it means. Dr. Pink tells you not to play his games if you have heavy real life things going on, and that he tries to tell real stories. This game has been very fun to this point, but think back to Acting Lessons and the road trips to the outdoors and the fun by the fire and all that. The tone here will change at some point. Some sad things are going to happen to some characters.

Lollar2112

True enough, but I agree it is her dealer but being just the dealer would be too simple and where is the fun in that. Add a twist to it that made it harder to walk away from when she entered college and now the story has the twist it needs to stay captivating. Not only her dealer but a family member and with the tattoo above his eye not necessarily a blood relative. There are more than one type of family. The one's we are born into, those we make, and others we choose....

Xavier

the tattoo by his eye i was thinking maybe this is quinn and she got a sex change after this point. just a fun theory

Jamie Yohn

The tattooed guy with the same hair dye as Quinn also has the same insignia above the left eyebrow that Quinn has. That tells me it's some sort of family thing or they belong to the same "gang" or "society".

Lollar2112

That is just how a branch of the bad bitch bank looks like.

Alexander Hochbaum

Yup did anyone see that Large Safe in Wall this is Quinn Drug Dealer for sure..

Valkyrie65

Right, my point exactly. Besides her owing money to her supplier (presumably), at some point Sage or Heather or someone is going to try and look at the money coming in and going out and realize that something is fishy.

GeneralCuiJM

Hm, dass Bild wirft mehr Fragen als Antworten auf. Dr.PC, Du bist soo gemein.

Gratosch Kalligo

A few people are suspecting the tattooed guy might be related to Quinn. I don’t think using the same hair dye color is a genetic trait. My guess is that one of these guys is Quinn’s dealer. Clearly she is in deep and is quite stressed. What I’m curious to see is whether we view this scene because the MC is there or whether we’re simply seeing this via narrative omniscience. The MC, along with most of the other characters now, believes that the HOTs need money for the sorority, but it seems only Quinn and Riona know the truth. Riona seems she might be willing to confide in the MC about what’s going on, but Quinn won’t unless she gets very desperate.

GeneralCuiJM

After a long research I came to know. This is from Max Payne 2 where Mona was laying down almost dead while Max tried to escort her safely from the gangs.

EvonIk

Having hair dyed the same color and shaved on the sides hardly makes him related to Quinn. This is probably her dealer.

GeneralCuiJM

The episode is named Damage Control, the shit may not hit until 7 or 8.

David D

Pretty sure there'll be a couple of those situations, not only one. Shit didn't hit the fan yet, I think it'll just begin in Ep.6

Sasanid

Fear not DavidRose you as MC will ROhirrim charge them to death and save Quinn

Jayden

It looks like this season we're getting more into the shady stuff. Looks interesting, can't wait to beat the crap out of Tommy

Tiago Fonseca

Looks like a good time!

Br0zart

Please dont make us choose to save like in acting lession, feel like its going toward that kind of stuff

funnonly

uh oh we at the traphouse quinn going too, hmm i wonder if white haired dude is her brother or something?

Tidus Shepard

I can't really make out the characters that well. The other guy resembles Dawe more than Quinn if you ask me. But Vinny is mentioned way too often, he has to turn up somewhere, and probably in connection with drugs (ep5, roof of the DIK mansion, "I know a guy. . .")

David D

I thought about Riona (whom we know has black hair and drug problems), but the hairdo is wrong, I think. Your suggestion is better.

Man from Ba

Quinn's Dad or her brother

Xavier

David CSR

OK which one is Vinny?

David D

Hmm, who is the passed out girl? Whoever she is, she has some nice curves.

Darren Uliasz

You know that she could just be watch tv with the guys... she doesnt looked passed out at all to me. The guys could just be her friends, calm your tits

Connor

What was your theory? out of curiosity.

Man from Ba

The bag of coke on the table screams dealer aswell

Scotty Doesn't Know

Depends, do you do it in RL? And what would you do right after noticing the girl with the nice ass?

Eric Dekker

The guy on the couch looks like our roommate when we first arrived. Before he kicked us out 😅

CaseyJones

Yes, I bet that he's Quinn's dealer

Chiss

Some asses to kick...

Karl Franz 77

David CSR

Beyond the fucked up implications of a girl passed out in what looks like it might be a drug den, her nice ass is what caught my attention first. xD Does that make me a bad person?

Jeff Sandau

Definitely Quinn's dealer

jonaleth

Hmm..

Hussam

Yeah, this seems related to Quinn business

Argos

Looks like Quinn's brother with the tattoos

Dahlheadlands

What's this?

EvonIk

Quinn's dealer maybe?

Jake Flynn

Possibly MC ex-girlfriend?
