Can somebody clear something up for me? It's about that prince guy who had like a "slightly evil aura" or something. Did that end up being nothing and going nowhere or did I miss something? Like was it for the evil path? as I haven't done that one. Or was it something else?

I think he's alluding to this:

Question for those of you who are fans enough to keep up to date on the thread. As I go into the planning stages for D&D, I'm considering the following things regarding sexual content:

1) There would be no direct visibility of genitalia (breasts don't count)
2) There would be no direct visibility of actual penetration

Sex would still happen like normal, but there wouldn't be any of the more graphic visualizations. Hell, you might have noticed a significant decline in those kinds of visualizations as BTW moved forward, as I did them less often in favor of more romantic results.

How might such a change impact your opinion of things?

If so, he clearly doesn't understand how eroticism works. I already limit the above things quite a bit, in comparison to other games.
Eroticism isn't the problem. The lack of actual sex pretty much is. I personally explained my view on this in another post. But it's your game. Not mine and while the game, up to the point I've played to, was good. But since I'm so far behind on this, I won't be catching up on it if you've limited the actual lewd scenes, I won't be finishing it or trying the next one.

Some of us aren't the audience you're seeking with just eroticism. I'm old af and I don't fap to games, but I still enjoy seeing the actual intercourse. It gives AVNs more realism in my opinion and without it, well, I'm sure you understand. But as I said, it's your game, I respect you and your decision to make it anyway you want.

Not gonna lie, if you were into BTW just for "lewd scenes", you were going to be disappointed from the start. I've ALWAYS presented it as a story game, not a sex/porn game. Everyone here knows that. The adult content is meant to be additive. It is not, and never was, a focus. Sex scenes were never presented just for the sake of having sex scenes. They were done as a natural progression. Hell, the first full/proper sex scene didn't even happen until Chapter 3, a couple hours into the story.

BTW is about the story. The journey. Not the sex.

I think that's part of the reason I stuck to the Hannah solo route (that and not really being tempted by the others). It seemed like a straight forward story, not a porn game - and having your loving, long-term girlfriend want you to also fuck all of her friends, and her sister, kinda detracted from that. It was the only real 'porn logic' in the game. I can see her maybe wanting a threesome, as a one off - or wanting you to be with one of her friends who was going through a hard time, or had just had a breakup and needed a rebound but wanting you to build a harem was a stretch for me.

I get what you're saying and there was some good scenes when the game first started. I stopped playing after we took that shortstack with us. I think the last scene I remember was the one with one of our friends who wanted to take control when we were going to have sex. I denied her and the scene ended. That was the last time I played. But my main save was with Hannah and while there wasn't a lot of sex, there was enough to keep my attention.

Also, I never said I only played for the sex in this or any other game. I said I don't fap to games. But I enjoy seeing the lewd scenes. It gives games more realism to me. I've been around since this game first dropped in'21. So I knew what to expect and as I said, there was enough of the scenes at first. How it became later, I don't know. But it doesn't matter. It's your game/s so make them how you want.

"In addition, while there will never be NTR, there may be future situations where characters are in positions that might make you uncomfortable if you are extremely anti NTR in any form. An example of this might be attempted touching or harassment by NPCs towards one of the girls. The attempts will not be successful. To make this perfectly clear, since people are already confused ----- There will not be NTR"



¿Then why do you even bother to put hint of NTR-like situations? i mean.. ¿Just don't do anything related to NTR, and that's it, right?

Because it's needed for the story and you know how the anti-NTR-crowd is. They whine and cry a lot. Hell, there're some fragiles out there who even whine when in background a hot PNG girl, which is not part of the story, is kissing a dude. It's smart to make a disclaimer. Nobody can say they aren't warned.

You ever been to a bar? People will touch. Especially if the bunch of girls you are with are super-hot.
And if they don't touch, then MC will just be a jerk for punching the guys that might cause trouble

I just finished and I'm honestly kind of conflicted on how I feel.

First, this isn't really a harem game, but I get that polygamy might not draw as many views. It might just be nitpicking but to me, a harem implies I have control. If I want Skylar tonight I get her, If I want Sky and Em I get them etc.

If anything, this is Hannah's harem and I just get to be the toy they use. Really took me out of the entire lewd aspect of the game honestly, feeling like a cuck that just gets used as she desires, and told I should be grateful I get to 'get my dick wet'. So I tried the solo path but since I'd already gone through the entire game already... it just felt pointless.

BUT...

I really liked the characters and story, especially the slice of life first few chapters. Every character felt fully fleshed out and with distinct personalities and the dynamic with the friend group felt real and engaging, before they got trapped that is.

Past that point all the lewd content just ended up feeling tacked on and immersion breaking. I just cntrl skipped all of it and in a way, that is the best compliment I can give here, because I kept playing despite it, for the story and characters.

The game is super polished and presented in a sleek fashion, with wonderful animations to enhance the immersion, like the characters simply looking around or running into battle etc. You can really tell a lot of skill was required to pull it all together.
I've read through most of this thread, so I know I'm in the minority with these opinions, but I feel compelled to share them for reasons I'm not even fully aware of. Maybe I'm just bummed it wasn't what I truly wanted and need to vent. Still, the characters and adventure will stick with me and as such I 100% support the Dev in pushing forward with a less lewd approach to any new games.

I don't think you understand the Harem tag. This is a group relationship like a throuple but with more than 3 people and the Queen of the harem is an element in a FUKK ton of AVNs on this site so Hannah is just doing what they do in all of those. Don't expect the tag on this site to only mean the Sultan's harem type as that is not what it means here or on most AVN sites.

It comes down to story and you do not like this style of grouping. What you want much more often comes with poor story IMO.

Indeed, just personal preference. I prefer more one on one encounters and was hoping the whole 'it's cheating without me' aspect would diminish over time, since they all trust each other so explicably. Just pointing out why the lewd aspect lost me overtime. I still really enjoyed the game/story and characters in the end. I would argue that I've played numerous good story games that give the one on one harem but again, that's just personal preference and not really needed here as it would detract from the fact that 'Between' is top tier regardless.
