$15 poll: Longer animation

@nap One problem. I can totally see Bella in some latex or leather. But I'm 100% certain the MC would be the one wearing the ball gag and nipple clamps! Which would be kinda hot just to spice things up, more kink would be fun.

When she starts playing with herself after she kisses MC for the first time, she says something along the lines of "gonna turn me back to the old me" hahaha...or something like that. I think she was a hardcore nympho and gave it up after the divorce (or whatever went down). Bella = Latex Ball Gag Fun LOL

nap

Yeah. I can't remember exactly what he said, but she definitely said it on Rooster.

Ardor

@ForceLord did he really? I need to replay it if he did

Jayden

@Spiegelbild I totally agree. And yeah, those boots. I forgot about those. Super clean to get rid of the evidence. I could see her being into some kind of kink. I think Tommy even mentions that he heard she was into something. It was on Rooster when you stay at Bella's.

Ardor

@ForceLord I was more creeped out about the boots for some reason, pristine white boots and MC comment about how clean they are. I imagined Bella in a raincoat hunting teenagers with the ax (flashbacks of Leah). Or some dominatrix thing too, some boy tie down in that room and Bella "punish him" from time to time, she went inside at the end of episode 3 and the whole "doors are funny" business. And MC comments after kissing her in the library about her tears: "I would've called for help", not ominous at all...

Spiegelbild

@David CSR I cannot draw from personal experience on that one, but I have an aunt who was 19 and just moved to a new city when she met her husband-to-be who was 39. He left his unhappy marriage for my aunt and they were married until the day he died at 81. She is still in love with him today and has no interest in moving on even though he's gone. To her, he will always be with her. Age truly is irrelevant, but often today people think something is wrong if a couple isn't closer to the same age.

Ardor

I met my girlfriend when I was 20 yrs old. She was 39. We have been together for over 30 years now. Age is so irrelevant. Love transcends the physical...it is the universal force that binds us all.

@DavidCSR Oh I was speaking the mother tongue to Tommy haha! Yes, I totally agree with you on everything you said about Sage.. but luckily she met MC even though he’s younger than her by 1 - 2 years but that doesn’t matter right? It’s common in the real world.. anyway, I know that I (player character) will have a happy ending with Sage :) and yeah MC on the other hand is Casanova (mentioned by Bella)

Jayden

I was thinking the same thing, although after seeing the ax and what MC says, I keep going back to "ax-murderer" and that's where she keeps her trophies LOL

Ardor

Wouldn't that be a surprise! I would actually love that! A room full of machines, toys and interactive entertainment. DPC...as much as I hate to admit it, you are a god here, you could make this happen.

Sage is actually a very attractive young woman...if she could just get past Chad I think she could be a very loving, honest and trustworthy girlfriend...the MC on the other hand...!

@Jayden...a translation of what you just said would be cool, because I don't have a scooby doo what 'cung duoc' actually means!

Could be a feminist he's into

Jayden

cung duoc

Jayden

i love sage and all but if u become her f buddy you can get so many naughty scenes but with Isabella theres been only two n half ish scenes with her and it wasnt too long or it didnt go to far. Therefore more Isabella for me c:

Tommy

Also, about that "Ill call chad Right now" after sage kisses you. more on that too

Ruthless

The locked room in Bella's house....that's actually her den of "fun" haha

nap

Yep...and 100% smokin' hot! LOL ;)

nap

Wow lol nap that’s kinky 100%!

Jayden

Now that I think about it, Bella would look pretty good too....some latex, a ball gag and nipple clamps! haha

nap

I don't think its neither Mel or Sarah but we have to wait to find out

Jayden

@nap...now that would be worth an episode!

@Jayden...after all the shit and humiliation we went through in hell week, I totally understand where you are coming from.

Also...I'd love to see her get her kink on ;) haha

nap

Hahaha you would be completely correct on that one sir! Now to just wait for her game....one of these days LOL

nap

Yep, I am also hoping we get to see a softer side of Quinn. Could be one of the deepest romance arcs in the game if the dev wanted to go that route.

bgray9054

Ya, this poll actually was really tough for me. I've eliminated Josy and Maya, and Sage I "like" but I'm not that into, and Isabella is gradually turning me off because she never smiles, is always so cold, and the whole locked room / weird past thing, so I really struggled with this poll. That's one reason I'd like to see some of the "side girls" maybe get a little "promotion" like Quinn, Mona, Camilla, Nicole, Lily, etc. where the MC can get more involved with them if possible as, at least for me, the only "main girl" who is still really in play for me is Jill.

bgray9054

Ya, like you guys said, praying it doesn't get to AL-levels of darkness. That's one reason I have found BaD so far to be even more enjoyable - it's more light-hearted and "normal" in terms of just day to day stuff in the MC's life, going to class, talking to his friends, going to college parties, etc. Don't need soap-opera levels of insanity plots to make it interesting, IMO.

bgray9054

@nap...I'm getting the distinct impression that you like Sage! She is a beautiful girl and kinder than Quinn. It's a shame she is being cheated on by Chad...I think Sarah is Chad's bit on the side [my opinion]

HELL YEAH GIRL! SAGE SAGE SAGE AHAHAHH

Jayden

I'm just pumped to see myself in my DIK jacket

Jayden

So I've been thinking if MC did get to bang Arieth and gave you the option of Anal only... do you still get crabs?

Jayden

I agree. More Quinn would be great. Even better would be more SAGE!!!!! Actually, an entire game focused on her! haha SAGE! SAGE! SAGE! SAGE! LOL

nap

I'm also hoping we get some more 'Quinn'...she seems impenetrable like an ice sheet...but below that frosty surface, I'm sure a complicated, vulnerable girl exists. Quinn was very off-putting for me on my first playthrough with her harsh, mercenary nature. But on subsequent playthrough's as a 'DIK' she opens up and lets you in the door...tantalising glimpses of another personality entirely.

Other than 'Life Is Strange' I haven't been so emotionally invested in a game! [not counting AL...that broke my heart]

Totally! But it's fun to speculate and discuss! It actually shows me personally, just how involved I've become with the game.

I honestly think Episode 6 will cover more on the Cathy situation and what happens to Rusty and maybe more build up for the letter thing your dad mentions.

Ruthless

Spend*

Ruthless

I can spen all day reading these comments

Ruthless

Until then we can only assume and come up with theories that's all haha

Jayden

OK I can see I phrased that wrong. I meant Isabella scares me. Something isn't right with her. Having dated a bipolar with borderline personality disorder, who actually tried to stab me in my sleep, I find Isabella very freaky. Sage is great. Who doesn't love a feisty redhead?

Jeddite

When Jill decides to take the couch instead of sleeping with Isabella, I got the impression that a one-time thing had happened between them. Possibly misinterpretation on my part.

What appeared to be army combat boots or timberlands when you looked under the crack really gave me the chills running down my spine. I think what happened on the bed was that Bella didn't want Jill to know that she has feelings or something for you

Jayden

I've dated an asian dyed redhead and I'll have to say she's feisty like Sage that's why I love her so much lol

Jayden

I think your analysis is pretty spot on actually. There is definitely something dark underneath the surface, I just hope it isn't Leah from AL levels of darkness. There is also something kind of strained between her and Jill when you spend the night in episode 5, I'm curious what that was about. She does seem to keep things from Jill like you pointed out.

Wesley

Agreed. Isabella is hiding behind that cold exterior, even Jill who is closest to her didn't know about the locked room until the MC mentioned it. To me Isabella is clinging on by her fingernails to an illusory world of normality. She is desperately trying to keep up appearances whilst keeping the darkness at bay. [I could very well be wrong...it has been known]

Yeah that part in the library also concerns me quite a bit. And after playing Acting Lessons and getting blindsided by how dark that game got for a bit... I am very worried about Bella.

Wesley

In the library when you kiss Isabella and she starts to weep...the MC thinks [paraphrase] 'If I had known what those tears meant I would have ran a mile'. That really bothered me. Certainly the soldier mannequin freaked me out but I didn't place to much emphasis on it because the MC was very drunk. I'm excited and slightly terrified to see how this story will evolve...certainly there's more behind his mothers death than we know about so far.

In episode 5, when the MC tries to peak under the door, if you look really close you can make out what looks like combat boots and camo pants. Makes me think MC's drunken night at Bella's when he sees the soldier "intruder" that he wasn't actually confusing a dress mannequin for a soldier but that perhaps Bella left him out by accident.. maybe its one of them sex dolls... hard to say, but that and the letter about MC's mom are two mysteries that have been bugging me.

Wesley

I dated a redhead... she was scary, fun, but scary.

Wesley

What bothers me about Isabella is that locked room in her house...for some reason I picture dead people sitting in chairs, posed like mannequins and dressed in evening wear.

I'm married to a redhead. You are right to be scared. :D

Matthew Griffin

Isabella? Really? Nothing against her, but I feel like we got plenty of her last episode, and barely saw Sage at all. And she scares me.
