Seeking A good choice based RPG with a female protagonist and not cartoonish

[yKnot]

Hello everybody! I decided to open this thread after reading a lot of your suggestions for other users, but without being able to find something that could match my research.
Before explaining what I am searching for, I am going to tell you that I have been playing with much satisfaction the game A New Dawn, and lately also Downfall: a Story of Corruption. Both have a female protagonist, which is a must for me.

What really made me love the first one is that you have:

• various option to permanently modify the body, the mind and the social status of the protagonist (and the more of these you have in a game the better)
• this permanent shift towards the depravation which, given the situation, she's kinda forced to deal with

While I appreciated mostly the second for having:

• the possibility to shape your story going upward or downward with your morality, being more or less sluttish to get out of the situation
• the good setting and storytelling

Unfortunately the character customisation is not really present.

So basically I would love to play something with these solid characteristics:

And if it has also these it's even better!

So 2d is out, or just anime and cartoon parodies?

Thank you for pointing out this! I'd say more that 2d is out tout court.

, which has basically everything you ask, except maybe a good plot, and it's quite linear (except for the major choice of playing a mature widow, or a younger MC with a different questline, which I haven't tried). You get many choices to decide how MC feels / reacts to situations, and some will lead to or avoid extra scenes and interactions. There's practically no combat - it's about as playable as a point & click. It's pretty hardcore from early on, but the moral degeneration and bimbofication are done more gradually throughout the story (which is pretty long, like 10 - 15 hours just for the mature route including all the walking), which is interesting. Of course, this being a Bethesda game, you can deeply customize your character's look, especially with extra options from other mods.

If you want something much more brutal and much more non-con, there's

from the same dev, but I enjoyed the first one more for the corruption.

Thank you very much for your suggestion! Seems very in tune with what I asked, but let me ask you something: you ain't got anything like a release pack, isn't it? I mean you just have got to own the game and those three dlcs and then download every single content required for the mod to work, did I get it correctly?

Yeah, you may have to spend a couple hours getting it all setup the first time, especially if you're not familiar with modding these games. But it's nothing too difficult, just a lot of clicking and downloading. I have a guide here, just make sure not to have Bethesda's "next-gen" updates as the mod is straight-up not compatible last I checked. You can also ask in the mod's thread if you have problems.

I've been working on it some hours, but it seems that there are many incompatibilities between the version of the game I have and the mods. I might need more time to get along with modding that strongly.
In the meanwhile are there other games you all would like to suggest to me?

Which version are you using? 1.10.163 is the one the mod is intended for, and there will be a compatible version of each mod for it.

CS fits the bill in terms of player-driven corruption and having impactful choices during the game. A lot of non-con, ugly bastards, monsters, humiliation, stuff like that.

Unfortunately for your requirements, the best games are 2D or from male-MC perspective.

1.10.163.01 but apparently it was the F4SE which couldn't match the version. So it says the error message when trying to launch it. Plus, Vortex has some display problems for which it keeps having this fuzzy look that makes it difficult to read anything and operate with it. Gotta figure out that too!
Anyway, I won't give up on this!

Also in the meanwhile: I might easily reconsider the restriction applied to the 2Ds as long as the game offers something more than just the Visual Novel. In this sense A New Dawn was a good compromise to me because the scenes were animated.

SKA doesn't have customization and the mental corruption is mostly linear, but it's deep and gradual. It's also a 40-hour JRPG. It does give you moral choices with the Vice mechanic, and most of the H is prostitution-based with embarrassed / reluctant MC.
