Fucking tease........Then again, if I ever have the time and resources to do a "definitive edition"...

Again, that's the player's perspective, not the MC's perspective - and it's in a scenario where she isn't necessarily acting naturally (ie, it's not the "real" her).She's introduced, when the game starts out with a sex scene and your very first choice is between having her as a friend or a lover...
Well I would argue the mc has some motivation considering he’s been made a slave. Sure a well kept slave but a slave nonetheless. So has Tahir. So kadijah uses the carrot first and if that doesn’t work, the stick.Again, that's the player's perspective, not the MC's perspective - and it's in a scenario where she isn't necessarily acting naturally (ie, it's not the "real" her).
It's why I basically pointed out that the player may have a better opinion of her at that point (especially if it's not the first time they're playing the game), but the character has lots of reasons to say no and not a ton of motivation to say yes other than because she's hot.
That's kind of a situation where modern values might conflict a bit with past reality and assumptions though.Well I would argue the mc has some motivation considering he’s been made a slave. Sure a well kept slave but a slave nonetheless. So has Tahir.
Slave revolts were a thing in early history too though, sure, they didn't overthrow empires or even manage to change the system for a LONG while, but it seemed to be a common side effect of nearly every region that practiced slavery.That's kind of a situation where modern values might conflict a bit with past reality and assumptions though.
IIRC Cyrus did mention the sultan softening up when he got old, we don't know what he was like in the past, but if Cyrus saw something admirable, it probably wasn't all that great.And doubly so if they're being asked to help kill a ruler who has a reputation for being relatively just
Pretty much. Those slaves at the palace's harem or direct attendants for the princes were the minority. Chances are that most slaves had it worse than Ashur and Tahir when they were living on street in gangs.Slave revolts were a thing in early history too though, sure, they didn't overthrow empires or even manage to change the system for a LONG while, but it seemed to be a common side effect of nearly every region that practiced slavery.
And if I were Kadijah, looking to start a revolt, I would probably look to the more "privileged" slaves that could at least get close enough to actually try something.
Besides, we did spend a bit of time in a cell before our boy Darius bailed us out, we got to see a bit of how the people in power treat those below them, and once shit went down we got a taste of what happens when you don't behave.

Yeah, it's still player perspective, but it does give me reasons to empathize at the very least.
Ah you picked up on that little aside cyrus made I see. The implication is that the sultan was much more warmongering in the past and mellowed as he got older and conquered pretty much the whole continent.Slave revolts were a thing in early history too though, sure, they didn't overthrow empires or even manage to change the system for a LONG while, but it seemed to be a common side effect of nearly every region that practiced slavery.

Heh you noticed that eh?Pretty much. Those slaves at the palace's harem or direct attendants for the princes were the minority. Chances are that most slaves had it worse than Ashur and Tahir when they were living on street in gangs.
About Cyrus my guess is that the old sultan was as much belligerant on his young age as Cyrus is now.
ps: Still wonder who are the sultan's new children?

Also to give a little benefit to Cyrus, I mean it’s pretty easy for his dad to play the kind old man when he has Cyrus do his dirty work for him.Ah you picked up on that little aside cyrus made I see.

I don't know if you're capable of making me like him (or if that's something you even want to do), but my dislike towards him has me paying attention to what he says, so props for his writing, it usually gets a bit boring hearing the baddies ramble on.Also to give a little benefit to Cyrus, I mean it’s pretty easy for his dad to play the kind old man when he has Cyrus do his dirty work for him.
Replaying games tends to have this result. heheHeh you noticed that eh?
Oh, you're definitely supposed to hate him. But he's a bit more nuanced than "Me kill everybody!" at least. And, unlike most of these games, he's not inexplicably connected to the Mafia!I don't know if you're capable of making me like him (or if that's something you even want to do), but my dislike towards him has me paying attention to what he says, so props for his writing, it usually gets a bit boring hearing the baddies ramble on.
I still remember the few folks who wanted to bone him though, hope they're doing better
And he is also not a generic bald or black guy model.Oh, you're definitely supposed to hate him. But he's a bit more nuanced than "Me kill everybody!" at least. And, unlike most of these games, he's not inexplicably connected to the Mafia!
You'd be surprised what spending hours sculpting a character in daz can achieve. Did you know that Cyrus, Darius, Shapur, and the Sultan all start from the same base model? (Not genesis 8 male). I wanted to give them a familial resemblance.And he is also not a generic bald or black guy model.
With how diverse the cast of love interests already is, it could be interesting to have a new one with some kind of physical disability since that's not something you see often in VNs.You know, I'm kind of curious about some of the things you guys would want in the game, whether it be story or character wise or sex etc. No guarantee I'll implement anything but I'm always curious to pick your brains and see if there's something that resonates for me.
Finding someone that can make a magical potion allowing the player to impregnate Tahir to start our family. . . .or a Kentucky Derby type race with midgets riding dinosaurs. Either one.You know, I'm kind of curious about some of the things you guys would want in the game, whether it be story or character wise or sex etc. No guarantee I'll implement anything but I'm always curious to pick your brains and see if there's something that resonates for me.
Story, you adding the Harem tag(Honestly it starts in a region that is famous for Harems, lol). Allowing us then to form our Harem, interesting interactions, if it's a weird, random, silly, zany 1 off(Example our fan).You know, I'm kind of curious about some of the things you guys would want in the game, whether it be story or character wise or sex etc. No guarantee I'll implement anything but I'm always curious to pick your brains and see if there's something that resonates for me.
More muscular female LI’s and group sex imoYou know, I'm kind of curious about some of the things you guys would want in the game, whether it be story or character wise or sex etc. No guarantee I'll implement anything but I'm always curious to pick your brains and see if there's something that resonates for me.
