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.
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.
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.
