No... I think my memory is fine. As I said in my last post, I admit she was a bitch when she was first introduced, never once denied it, but it was pretty obvious it wasn't her true personality, and she got better/earned forgiveness from everyone else.

I think Blair is worse, but we'll just agree to disagree on that.

Doesn't alter the fact that Lyriel was a complete bitch. Blair has not been.
I find Blair quite funny, but then I know a few Scottish people.

Why do you think Blair is worse? Because she seems more shifty & dishonest?
Lyriel was an utter prick, but at least it was genuine. She did hold those views of superiority, but she also knew that she was facing a truth which contradicted her, she actually feels inferior, which is why she really behaved the way she did.
As she learned about herself, her character developed into someone far more likeable & people's opinions changed.
Hindsight is a wonderful tool.

So even if the author pulls off a miracle with her personality, I don't think she, Naomi or Yona will ever be as popular as Rae, Cait and Lyriel simply because the latter three have normal bodies, and the former are walking fetishes.

Yes, Lyriel has a much wider physical appeal than Blair. Blair is niche, so are Yona & Naomi.
That's why I specifically said "not saying make them top 3".
But any improvement on their current reception is better than none.

The dev did exactly that with Lyriel & she was seriously fucking hated.
There was even speculation that the dev changed her, because she was so hated.
He can improve the standing and acceptance of those 3, too.
But they need content, in order for that to happen.
"I don't need to want to fuck her, in order to be interested in her story."

I'd like to modify that, if I may: Rae, Cait and Lyriel do not have normal bodies. They have idealized bodies which certainly would be considered underweight by a doctor. Of course many people like that, that's why so many popular actresses and models have a similar look, not to mention many popular love interests in games on this site - but it is just as much of a walking fetish. And I would bet if you just walked on the streets, you'd find more of Yona's general body type than Rae's.

More generally and not so much about Vertius' posting: Of course that is all okay, I also generally prefer "The Lyriel" to "The Naomi", and these are fantasies, so why not go for the best you can imagine?

Then again, I like a bit of variation. If Rae, Lyriel, and Cait wouldn't have very distinct personalities, I'd find them extremely boring, they'd be too close. Same could be argued for Naomi and Yona, of course.

However, a bit continuing what whichone has said: it is strange that in a game with 6 girls, of which 3 have a lot of content, 1 has some, and 2 almost none, the supporters of the first three complain that they're not getting enough bang for their (non) buck.

Calmly talking about how you still prefer the first trio to the second of course is fine, favorite LI and stuff is what this forum is about, but all this "game is ruined, gonna quit" on the last few pages is a bit overdone and feels like the tantrum of a small kid which can only get 2 different chocolate bars at the supermarket and not all. It's not so much the content of what is said as how some people say it (not all) that I find, well, cannot make my mind up. Fascinating? Certainly. Annoying? Yap, that too.

lol Lyriel:
Manipulates the innocent (Cait).
Has arguments with every single member of the house.
Is aggressively rude, egotistical, cruel, disruptive, aloof, demanding.
Blonde, cute/pretty, fit body.
A-OK. (y)

Blair:
Shits herself after thinking she was kidnapped, tries to escape.
Clearly isn't telling the whole truth about something.
Short, broader body.
Burn the witch! :devilish::mad:

:LOL::ROFLMAO:

Since first meeting with Yona I have been interested in her back story ie what drove her to fight to the death, what dose she want to do with her new lease on life? And no I'm not into orc's. but saying that I'm not into elf's either but I still fuck them and would not say no to a Orc if she has a personality i can relate to. I'm more here for the journey/story rather than harem of fucks which is a nice thing.

I mean, phisically attractive people usually get away with being shitty people more often than non-attractive people, I don't think that's some big surprise.

Womens are 2 meters tall bodybuilders where You live?

That's why I said "general body type". I am also not sure she is that large but may be mistaken. Then again, is Rae even 5 foot?

But what I meant was that her general proportions are in my experience more common than the thin, yet big boobed, extremely small girl. May depend on where you live of course.

Didn't say anything about being surprised.
Just made a joke about the way it comes about. (y)

Well this game sure as hell went downhill fast. And they keep doubling down with more Blair content? Shame.

The only fix is for her to magically return to where she came from.

Even tho I haven't met her yet in my playthrough I would disagree with your comment as I do not like dwarfs and would prefer if she had no arm's and no leg's as I like my nugget sex. ;)

Not sure about the new girls exactly, but I'm pretty sure Yona isn't quite as tall as Naomi, she's a real giant!

*keyboard stuffed so sorry if missing letters/grammar*
----------
*It probably reads ok, but after the first 3 lines, it took 2hrs of coming back every 5-10 mins to try & type more letters into this message -- ridiculous battery-powered, wireless keyboard - and yes, fresh batteries 2 days ago! :devilish::rolleyes::cry::HideThePain: * (buying it was not my choice :FacePalm:)

---------
So, I installed the 062 - 063r1 patch (had used 61-62r update last time)
l installed the patch, got into game, load save, then starts telling me it can't find pics (*webm)

Did I miss a step?

*I know *

*When I get the exception, do I use 'copy BBCode' or 'Copy Markdown' for you folks to have a look at it?
