I think you are confusing with the "gone gold" term used by developers to said a game is ready to be shipped and released.

Game will likely be released under the Early Acess program on Steam.

Yep, that's also true. Claire starts off as a poor peasant girl, my general plan when starting was to run away into safety, try to find whether my family is alive and if so, bring them to me, and make a living somehow, but instead I end up as what? Breeding ranch owner, nun, hunter, mercenary, prostitute, shield-sister (or something, I'm not sure what Aslaug called Claire), oh, exorcist for the little boy and alchemist with that gypsy girl too... What else? It's all content and it's all nice, but I also lack the "main plotline". I dislike that we are kinda pushed into being a hero, my mentality would be something like "fuck off boys, as Claire I'm a big fucking noone, don't expect wonders". You made me wonder how the ending would look like? I mean, I guess we could try and retake the continent, but once more, Claire is noone. Let me compare to the previous game as I just finished it today, Overgrown Genesis, there we at least were vaccinated against our will and had some "solid allies", but Claire is alone for the most part, really, how does she plan to wage a war? And even if, why would she be the leader or any participant?
Personally I think this game works best if you play it the same way Skyrim works best: Sure, you *can* do everything in one playthrough, become the Archmage, the leader of the Companions, guildmaster of the Thieves' Guild, etc. But the game is much more satisfying if you choose in advance what kind of character you're going to "roleplay" and play the game only doing the content that fits the character you've chosen, dedicating a different playthrough for each archetype.

So my playing of this game is more like, one save for Beastslut Claire, one save for Prostitute Claire, etc.

You could in theory do that, but since none of the subquests are completed you will choose or happen upon more than one 'adventure' in the same playthrough, especially as they are not mutually exclusive, connect at many points and also completing tasks in one quest raises stats, which are later required to complete tasks in other quests, not to mention items found and money earned... The other way of raising stats is by using in-game cheats (which is fun-spoiling a bit for me) or using trainers, which are unlocked through.... different subquests (Defiance Trainer in Mercenary Quest; Seduction Trainer in Brothel Job; Intrigue Trainer in Scholar quest and Depravity Trainer in Ranger quest). Beastslut Claire (Ranger) needs to be thoroughly depraved for the player to get lewd scenes (+30 Depravity to wear bear outfit, for example), so she should have substantial experience in selling her body or otherwise slutting around through Sisters of Fertility questline, for instance. The Beastwife Breeder job has entry requirements so high that Claire needs to be a seasoned, filthy rich degenerate to unlock it, which I don't think is going to happen through one sub-quest only. She may buttfuck the Unpleasant Man at the Inn in Rathpike day in day out, but will only gain +1 Depravity, no more, same with any other repeatable events - there is only a once off stat bonus to them. And the cooldown periods between each of Isobelle's breaking-in sessions seem to tell the player to go out and do something else.

It appears like the devs encourage players to do everything...

I agree, that would make a lot more sense. But well, first of all nothing is stopping me and I want to be able to load back into the game in a few months, play whatever is new in 0.23 (or whatever the next version is) and go back to doing my own stuff. I also don't want to limit my save slots and memorize which one is which one, it would be lovely if I could name them, and the most I've loaded back was around 1,5 hour, as I missed my chance to get thrown into Meat Pit, so once more, if I didn't save regularily I would be kinda fucked.

And second of all, still, you are a poor peasant. I don't think Claire's home was a ranch. How did she learn how to properly take care of horses? By getting fucked by them? One lesson of lockpicking and she is a master thief? Claire becomes a mercenary before even fighting anyone, right (I know, the goblin segment is something to justify that she is able to fight back, but still)? Why is Claire, a normal girl (for the most part), a representative of all refugees, representing them in front of that crazy lady that offered apples, you know what I mean. Why is she the leader of slave rebellion? I miss some kind of explaination why is she so capable, you know?

And third of all, there isn't really any game mechanic to follow. I'm going to once again compare it to Overgrown: Genesis (sorry, but I think it's the greatest available example as it's from the same dev), there I at least had some kind of fighting and exploration system, here I'm mostly clicking through dialogue. I know, I know, there was that stealth segment with goblins, but it's not enough. Example, how different was the Mercenary job to get back the ring from changing the shipment of blacksteel? Go to a place, press the interaction button, go back. Altrough don't get me wrong, the changing shipment was at least somewhat interactive as I had a couple of ways of getting rid of the shift manager, but I miss some kind of mechanic, minigame that would make these jobs different other than the dialogue before and after it, and well, the location. Of course going back to the basic persona-like (or jrpg-like?) fighting system is boring too, but I'd love to see any mechanic.

Well, the conclusion is, I agree. But it doesn't invalidate my point about the "plot armor" and/or unjustified strength Claire has. And this game lacks some fun mechanics to make me replay it, for now I' mostly clicking through dialogue and sometimes exploring, but it all goes down to walking around and interacting once. I don't mean to insult the game now, I just hope to see my problems diminish over time, when the game gets more and more finished.

My current playthrough, which reach the end of available content has 21 opened quests/jobs: 3 main, 7 secondary, 1 minor and 10 jobs. Apart from the Prologue quests and jobs none of these have concluded and at no point I had to choose one over the other. Having 7 separate saves for these 7 subquests is pointless and counterproductive to be honest. There is no Prostitute Claire that couldn't be a Ranger Claire, a Mercenary Claire, a Sister Claire or any other Claire in the very same playthrough. There are 3 prostitution jobs available (4, if you include the prologue whoring in the toilet, but this one you lose upon completion of the Prologue) that may be taken repeatedly at any stage in the game, provided she has enough energy to perform them. Collecting cum from farm animals either by hand, mouth or any other orifice in exchange for money could also qualify as prostitution, sex work for sure.

as I missed my chance to get thrown into Meat Pit,
I think you can still get the Meat Pit treatment, even if you arrived at Rathpike safely or agreed to pay off the thugs. Just explore the Rathpike's Undercity East.

And second of all, still, you are a poor peasant. I don't think Claire's home was a ranch. How did she learn how to properly take care of horses? By getting fucked by them? One lesson of lockpicking and she is a master thief?
Well, it's a lewd game featuring taboo fetishes first and foremost, so a healthy dose of porn logic is to be expected. Too bad that everything now seems to be heading in the beastie direction, as if the titular quest is to establish a ranch for girls who prefer furry quadrupeds over human males. This or magically growing a dick atop your vulva so you can have the best of both worlds! Your catatonic mother can wait.

It's high time I gave it another try. It may be less overgrown than Bubba's back, who knows?

Exactly. I need to say that I don't mean it as a bad thing, it just shows that the game is far from finished. I think enforcing us to chooes one way of playing over another is equally stupid (let's say, if you have 15 defiance, you can't perform any prostitution jobs), like, why? It's one of the laziest ways and cuts out content for no good reason. You put a stupid wall saying "no, you can't access content "x" becouse you already chose a different route and are accessing content "y", load a save and have n different playtroughts to access everything".

I don't want to set the requirements too high, but maybe some variety based on all the stats and our history? Some examples, for stats, let me think... Oh, Aslaug. She either threatens you and you agree or with enough defiance you talk back. But, what if we also had an option with enough seduction to flirt with her and be her... "friend" willingly? Or maybe even more, with enough seduction AND defiance, we would get into a relationship of sorts, but with Claire as the dominant one? You get what I mean?
Still, it doesn't solve the problem of taking all there is at once, but I doubt it's fixable anyhow. I think it all should have some sort of connection to put it simply, if you are a famous mercenary already, at least give me some dialogue when joining Thieves about "Well well well, the famous mercenary, a part of faction we are actively fighting against, wants to join? Hah!" and maybe additional job to prove that our loyalties lie in the Thieves? Or the other way around? Or if the dev is planning to have an "ending" for these plotlines, have a couple of them? Once more, Thieves vs Mercenaries, an ending when we begin and stay loyal to Mercenaries, where we betray them and go with Thieves, when begin and stay loyal to Thieves, when we betray them and go with Mercs, or finally if we finished both paths have something about getting a compromise between factions? Or perhaps even worse, without our support the factions get into devastating war and noone comes out on top? I'm starting to dreaming out loud, anyway, the conclusion I'm trying to make, cutting out content is stupid, but leaving it blank is just as stupid. I think the best outcome would be to have some different dialogues, options and maybe additional quests if we pursue many paths at once.

Exactly. I wanted to become friends with the enslaved girls and well, "learn a bit" about the subject becouse after all, I'm in RPG, even if the game doesn't reflect it, I'm trying to make logical choices. Unfortunately I already knocked out the guys that would throw me into the Meat Pit, so I reloaded, cheated to lower my defiance and went through that plotline.

I understand that. At the same, I dislike that, I don't enjoy rape nor bestiality, but I will just ignore that content. Personally, as I said somewhere above, I'm waiting for more Slayer content as I think it's a girl (the old couple reffered to her... "her"), Aslaug, the redhead with a kid named Leon and gypsy girl. But no, I'm not into lesbian either, it's just that I have no real other choice, what else is there? Futa? Rape by kids? Like, come on, characters that I mentioned are the only one that are consensual and have some personality attached. Anyway, as you said, our main concern currently should be helping Claire's mother, but instead we can do so many other things that don't really help in either retaking the contient or helping refugees, it's just stupid. I hope some kind of ending gets added where the factions we helped will help us in the end, you know?

I actually suggest waiting. There is a patreon post from 1st April about one last update, final polish to the game, adding some more content, but I found no more information about the release date for it.

If you look closely, there is not one lewd or even a chaste romantic scene involving Clare and a grown male with pure intentions who could become a love interest to her. I have my theory why that is.

Um, could you elaborate on that? I'm not really sure what your theory may suggest.

But, once more, that's one of the things others already pointed out, I'm a sucker for true love in games like this and I probably shouldn't. It's not really related to Claire's Quest now, but I'm not polygamous either, so I hate how some games steer me into being a hedonist and fucking whatever I can, harem endings and all that. But well, I'm not really planning to change, that's one of the reasons I also remember Sally without checking, as she was probably the closest thing to "true love" this game has to offer. But well, I'm not paying to dictate how this game will develop, as I said, it's all just my pipe dream.

And I kind of missed the point now that I read my comment again, the readhead and Sally were the only consensual sex scenes I can remember and Slayer, Aslaug, redhead and gypsy girl had some kind of personality. Slayer is I think traumatized and I hope there will be some sort of rehabilitation for her (either that or she can be a normal person and I hope to see that), Aslaug, she seems dependable and a fun person to spend time with, even if a bit abusive, Redhead for obvious reasons, has some history, skills and family to care for, another dependable person, and gypsy girl, I enjoy her attempts at being a tsundere. Compared to another rape by a nameless mercenary, they stir my imagination a bit. I'm also waiting for more Becca, the girl that we escaped from the torturer with, you know? Becouse, once more, she had a name, some kind of history for the most part and character traits. EDIT: Actually now I have some kind of foggy memory that she appeared again, do you remember her maybe?

Well, some may find it preposterous, but I'll elaborate anyway.

Since vast majority of porn game players are men, straight to boot, and likewise vast majority of porn game creators are also straight males, a specific problem of female protagonist arises. A lot of players tend to either identify with the protagonist or establish an otherwise intimate psychological connection, which, while not a problem when playing a straight male PC, creates a moral and emotional dissonance of sorts when a woman is the heroine. Thus your typical player will sooner let his female PC get repeatedly violated by a band of stinking orcs or marry a horse or love another woman than accept a situation when she may become enamoured of a dick whose owner (even if purely fictional) is not themselves. She may be aroused by dicks, she may fall in love with non-males, but she better not fall in love with males equipped with sexually arousing dicks that the player will not be able to identify with. Porn and romance don't mix well for men.

What you are saying isnt preposterous, but you are probably projecting so hard you could play movies using the moon as screen.
Men might play as female characters to embrace their own feminine side.
Often with female MCs i have them end up with big dicked black men, i consider myself bi-curios at best but when i had the chance with a really big black dude i basically threw myself at him.

To lump 90% of men into the same drawer and just belittle and basically insult them is something i would expect on shit like facebook but not on a glorious sexually liberated hentai plattform.

I for one love then game and would trade places with clair any time, all i get feucked by is a boring horse dildo, clair gets the whole package... definitely a winner.

Going to have to agree with overthevaleyard here. At most you are describing the ntr haters, although they are a bunch of very vocal men with some of the most fragile ego i ever saw they hardly account for the marjority of players.

same here...
I may have a male body but I identify as a girl.
and it was a group of 6 of my female friends, actually other than 1 gay guy who is very butch, I only have female friends... but anyway all 6 of them got together and told me that f95 had a lot of corruption and ntr games that I would love to play.

Edit: I like to imagine that I am the girl being raped, forced into ntr, corrupted, beaten, or getting whored out. I have these fetishes in real life.

Oooooh man, I feel you. I'm not sure what to think about what others said, but as I mentioned already, even if the game doesn't reflect it, I try to make logical choices. As if I was in the place of MC. That's one of the problems, I try to distance myself and play more as Claire rather than myself, but it's just difficult trying to seduce a man just becouse he is a man, when I can go for someone I, as the guy sitting behind monitor, liked the most (and that's reliable and strong women most of the time. Rather calm than extraverts too. Anyway). But at the same, I personally am also rather not that satisfied with what you mentioned, rape and monsters, as I said, I'm sucker for true romance and for now there are only two paths are like that (in my opinion and I might have forgotten something), Sally and the redhead, so I'd chose them over everything in this game. Well, thank you for sharing, it's good to hear out someone else willing to discuss that matter. I wish you a good day!

EDIT: I should mention, we are all here, playing those games and creating our own opinions for different reasons, so saying yours is "preposterous" is stupid in my opinion. I'm changing the subject a bit, but so far 2 other users told me that I'm getting too attached and I should go outside, touch some grass and stuff, when I tried to discuss the best romance option instead of just going and fucking everyone. Maybe I'm deranged, but I'm playing these games to get some simple mechanics to mess with, be it minigames or some simple fighting/exploration system, roleplay as making logical choices instead of going for most sexual content available and also some plotline, other than finding material to beat my meat to, you know? I could open any porn or hentai site and be done in a couple of minutes, but that's not my objective. That's why, once more, I'm a bit dissatisfied there isn't a real romance option but corruption and rape all the time.

So, you're saying I am projecting, yet use your own bi-curiosity as a counter argument. Interesting. Would you agree that majority of men are straight, not even bi-curious, with no feminine side to explore and embrace or is it insulting? What is bi-curious anyway? What's a feminine side? And why did you have to mention a really big black dude?

I don't think that imagining oneself a girl being raped, forced into ntr, corrupted, beaten and whored out (to cite another interlocutor) is the feminine side that most women embrace or wish that other people embraced, glorious hentai platform or elsewhere. This is projection if I ever saw one: projecting male lust into a female body.

Quick question, how long is this game approx? I saw some earlier posts saying it was around 20+ hours, and was just wondering if that still holds true.

Second, less important question: anyone have a list of all the beast scenes?

is it possible to play only as a lesbian? without having scenes with men/demons and monsters or they are not avoidable?
Yes, it is possible to have a purely lesbian playthrough without men/demons and monsters scenes.
At the moment you can get scenes with Sally, baker woman (after she arrives to Valos) and Aslaug (will probably have a more scenes in the future).
You can also get a lesbian scene with Aiyana but I'm not sure if it is possible to get it without having to go through some non-lesbian scenes first.
If you want to avoid unwanted scenes reading a walkthrough is recommended.

Um, it was me, but I made a mistake. I'd bet it was 20h, but after checking I saw that my longest save is 12 hours into the game (12:03:57 in Chemont Town), but I'm missing futa nuns and the hunters/poachers/whatever plotlines, so an hour or two more for sure. Actually, I'm going to edit that post just in case. It's also that I reloaded A LOT, really, so you need to add a few hours if you are willing to explore as much as I was, I checked every dialogue option to see if it had any consequences (example, the "injured" girl in Drakan Town I think, that turns out to be a slave of that bug-like creature) and to see all the possible paths (example, thieves quest about blacksteel shipments, I could convince the girl to seduce workers, I could flood the place and I could seduce the shift manager. I checked all three options and went with flooding, as my Claire was full of defiance). But with a guide and checking just one choice, I guess it's shorter, much shorter.

EDIT: And about bestiality, you could always cheat some money and unlock all scenes in the gallery, that's all I know.

The easiest way to unlock 'scenes' is to go into www/img/pictures folder of the game. There they are, unencrypted .pgn files, just without the accompanying captions.
