I did a high Dep Katie run, and it really didn't change much, some internal dialogue with her and a few minor things (i.e. in tthe taxi, Meredith & Sonja responses) otherwise, nothing that affected me with Katie. Don't know what'll happen with girls like Ellen or Gloria though.
It's confusing because the dev raised the requirements to be "in love"/in a good relationship with her from the last update, Everyone already knows that whether or not to have sex with her at the pool is a major deciding factor of her route but altering the game so you have to use every single opportunity to get Love points including the one at the start of the game that I would assume most people even those on the love path missed is a bit much
By last chapter's dialog i start to think that the manslut route won't be ending well afterall. Yet. This game is fucking long. A monogamous route would end up being very dull.
I guess we all have our own definitions of 'dull'. It only depends on what are you looking for in a game. Sure, if people just want to see every sex scene and are raging because they've missed one in this update... well, why bother with playing the game in the first place, just wait for the gallery unlocker
What i mean with dull is that the romances of this game are very well integrated in the story and to have space for all of them, each them individually has very little space. The monogamous route risks to feel like a disconnected serie of events where you occasionally meet the girl and you don't feel like you are actually building something. Just my take.
It's definitely at the top end, I can't think of any other 3D game here that looks better or even as good though I'd argue Artemis is close. As for 2D outside of Japanese games I'd say anything by Studio Kuma, Knightly Passions, Love Sucks, Sylvia, Aurelia and last but not least What A Legend all have great direction. A lot of other 2D games don't have consistency/have multiple artists which gets in the way of a dedicated direction/vision but yeah Broken Dreamers is very distinct
I've been doing a monogamous Katie route for a little over two years. Hasn't been dull at all.
But that's the kind of person I am; I like being devoted and loyal to one girl.
Well, it's not a dating sim where you can choose who to invite on a date. Here you're trying to save an innocent girl while being targeted by a couple of megacorps. There's no much room for 'building', you have to take the few chances you get, yet I feel those relationships that are actually built (Katie's, Gloria's, Vic's) seem pretty well developed, given the circumstances. Ellen's too, although their relationship is different
Yet she gets less scenes of other LIs, and other gets even less then here. Imagine pursuing Sonia in monogamous or Gloria, with paths that startrs literally at chatper 10 of about 14 foretold. It's almost a "go for Viktoria or Ellen, otherwise your loss" type of situation.I've been doing a monogamous Katie route for a little over two years. Hasn't been dull at all.
I never want to get mixed up in anything like would entail a multi-relation clusterfuck in this game, or any VN. Right now, there's no penalties or consequences for banging everyone. I don't think there was anything like that in DA either. You just said the choice of girls at the end, and you chose whoever. Don't know if Philly has that in mind here or if there will be any consequences for being a man-whore.
That's what i hope for. Also, i'de be ok if there where killer combinations, like Ellen not condoning MC sleeping with Gloria and this will bad end her route, in case. IMHO it should be ok to have some fuck buddy before the big commitment. I'm not either a fan of the harem option. I just think this games should let you 'play' without too much thinking.
I just tried that out in Become a Rockstar (was curious how it would work out if I avoided the main girl and tried it with everyone else) it was brutal but there are only consequences if you pursue multiple main paths the side scenes with side girls were completely unaffected, I wonder how common that is in these types of games in general, at least the ones that are finished/close to being finished. As far as I know it's either routes mostly in Japanese games where you can't even try to cheat and your choices are used to decide who you end up with (Comyu being an exception that I played recently to this) or full Harem where there is no expectation/the girls are willing to share.Either way, I know that my MC won't be a part of that, but it'll be interesting to hear from players who have "been laying pipe all over town" and see if shit flies in their face due to backlash.
look..... I'm Sorry, I didn't want to hurt your feelings. I really apologize for my behaviour, if it hurts you. Btw you really need to understand what sarcasm is and also kindly read f95 rules, it seems like you broke one
Yah you right she would, Kids really scare me
The question was specifically in regards to the MC's depravity score which is never shown on screen in game. It does, however, play an integral role in how the game plays. High MC depravity leads to more aggressive sex scenes including BDSM, anal and rough sex play. It also has an affect on MC's attitude and dialogue, I believe. That's how it was in Depraved Awakening. There are intimacy options opened by having a lower MC depravity score as well. I was actually here looking for more detailed information on this very subject today. It looks like I'll just have to keep doing my three way play style with one pass low depravity, one pass in the middle and one fully depraved MC pass as well. That's what I did for 6 plays of Depraved Awakening (I guess that actually makes that 18 plays...) and the way I've done all my plays through City of Broken Dreamers thus far.
