A small, wide-ranging consideration: perhaps the fight against drug dealers, whether they are Buddy and Vinnie or even whoever is still above them, will be the concluding theme.

BADIK doesn't really need a theme, in the end as a slice of life, nothing can happen and still go on. but in this last chapter 2 non marginal things happened:
  • with Riona a boundary was crossed that I doubted would be touched, we have reached a level of ‘wickedness’ that cannot be forgiven (Patrick was very close, but the direction was clear, with his sick wife he could not be ‘punished’ that much)
  • but especially with Lana's flashback, even Jill, who herself didn't have all these points of contact with the affair, becomes heavily involved. now Buddy is also her problem. it wouldn't surprise me at all if somehow the other LIs don't get much more directly involved as well
perhaps we can already consider Sage involved, although there is still the Morgan card to play (which predictably from mere hint in chapter 9 we now know will be a future theme). but also Bella (parental incident? James?) and Maya and Josy (here I struggle more to find a hypothetical connection, for Josy it could be Tommy if the withdrawal was something real and not a forgotten cue like Derek's depression) in my opinion will end up with some pain related to the actions of Rox and co.

Yeah, the songs are making me hyped. Always gonna remember when the CUM-petition starts in E02, the HOTs enter and the music starts blaring.
I don't usually have the volume turned on/up in these games, but I can't play this one without it.

It depends. She's great with Lily, but her giving Jill a backbone, while good for the story, is kind of a cockblock move in reality.
Her telling Jill not to put up with Tremolo's bullshit when he says he's visiting his ex, who's also his best friend, that's not helping Tremolo.
Even without Sage helping Jill out, Jill is already on the road of growing that backbone by herself. I've been seeing this more clearly since episode 10 and episode 11 wasn't any different. She is finally shredding out her shell and that's amazing for her and for MC as well. Props to Sage for helping her out as well.

Also why telling Jill to not be her timid, scared and unconfident self is a problem? You saying that Jill should put up with all of MC's bullshit even when she was feeling bad, unconfortable and iffy about him just name dropping Zoey like that? Just like she did with Tybalt? Damn dude... I think you want a sub girl that can't think for herself then. Sage saying those things to Jill and them to the MC himself helped him and her big time, even he agrees to it.

Jill would be jealous of who actually? Jill said it was weird for herself both hearing MC doing his stuff and ALSO hearing Bella's moans. She is feeling bothered by both those sounds.
She wouldn't be bothered if those moans were right in her ear, mixing with her own moans. And Bianca's moans :sneaky: Just let me have this ;)

As much as I have a side save just follow Bianca's I doubt much will come out of this on Bella's route... I mean maybe, but it's easier to imagine Jill sharing then Bella.

Bella is more competitive and possessive than Jill is after all.

At one point very close to the end in free roam, an optional task is to speak to Riona. But how? She's not contactable via the phone in any way.

If you're talking about the Christmas setup free roam, it won't come up until you talk to Camila. After that, you should be able to send her a text message.

So basically the idea is, that the fight against Buddy becomes the focal point of the story now? Could be...maybe James OD or got killed by the dealers and Sage's mom might have been involved with them as well, that could be an angle.

Just to be clear: I got that correctly from the game that Buddy basically deliberately killed Rox to take over his business, right? Rox even warned kid Quinn in that chess scene about not trusting even Buddy. And Lana was then collateral to Buddy murdering Rox.

I think any more dying from the fentanyl heavy coke would be stretching this plot a little too thin (thinner than it already is). So, I certainly hope not. But, an interesting take ! :cool: :coffee:

I would guess that is the idea, considering his talk about not trusting anybody and the fact that he otherwise seemed to be very savvy and he probably would only use coke from a tested and reliable source and not some crap that might be mixed with other stuff.

Or it could be something that especially MC cares about.
It is a shrine to MC. Complete with candles, multiple pictures of MC (many without him knowing...including some with a long lens)...a voodoo doll of Zoey with pins in it. One wall has large letters scrawled across it, "HE'S MINE JILL!!!!!"

Absolutely nothing to worry about.

Speaking of worry. Don't worry.

None of my EP11 predictions turned out. :p
