Note that I think Alypia is Ryn's new writer after Savin handed her off to them. But anyway I'm actually in the camp that wants Ryn to keep their dick, I just want that chastity device curse off and the longer she keeps it on the more I lose interest in her character. But this also seems like some strong retconning or damage control Alypia is doing here. It would have been very easy for whoever wrote that "makes me feel like a 'real woman'" scene to just write "this makes me feel pretty". But they didn't and now that's the line everyone brings up when they argue for why Etheryn should get a pussy. And I distinctly remember Etheryn telling us she tried to shrink her dick in the hopes that it would get the cage off, and when that didn't work she tried to get rid of her dick (temporarily or not) altogether but the curse didn't allow that.
I just think the team does this shit to themselves lol. Maybe a case of too many cooks in the kitchen or people not remembering what they wrote.
Did the devs actually say you're not supposed to have a power fantasy? Wow they're actually dumb if that's the case. Let's just list off the things that make this game a power fantasy off the top of my head
You can change any aspect of yourself at any time
You are the protagonist of a porn game in a setting where everybody fucks like it's a way of greeting
The protagonist gets coincidentally hit with that magic blast from the portal at the beginning, making them a super duper special snowflake
The main villain develops romantic feelings for you seemingly out of nowhere
The game will probably let you kill Kasyrra as an ending(though it also wouldn't surprise me if they didn't let you)
You can have a harem of cat girls
Most companions are submissive or have a submissive side
You go around helping everybody out by doing side quests
You single-handedly save(or ruin even further) the centaur village
You become a baron and own an entire fucking FORT
You become champion of hawkethorne AND champion of frost
You fuck royalty and high-profile figures on the regular
You turn a domineering 7ft tall orc girl chieftain into your submissive
You get CG and a scene for knocking up every orc woman you can
You marry the chieftain of a tribe
You marry the future chieftain of ANOTHER tribe
You (sorta) fix Garth's broken family
You can have sex with multiple GODS
You are going to be able to turn Brienne's family into a harem for yourself
...OK fuck this. There's more but I can't be assed to type anymore. Point is, this game is one giant power trip and if anybody says otherwise they have a few screws loose
This game doesn't have nearly enough agency, in my opinion, to be considerer a fully fledged power fantasy. Sends you down a power trip every now and then, sure. But if just as many times, or near enough, any hold i might have over my character is yanked away from me because some writer needs them for their OC to shine, then i'd say we're not talking about Dragon Age: Origins for sure. More like Final Fantasy or something.
Like, sure, we're playing the hero, but most of the time we're also merely going down the beaten path, or railroad more like since major choices that don't strictly involve sex mostly split between worthless ones (Garth's family quest) and unilateral ones (Option A for access to the orc tribe/Option B for fuck all).
Again, maybe a power trip here and there, but i struggle to call this a power fantasy when i'm not even allowed to choose wether or not my character should invite Cait the turboslut, also a groomer in training, to his kid's batpism
Also please Brienne stop asking for advice to that cat every time you get pregnant, jesus h christ

Let's be real, Ryn is a mess anyway, probably because Savin abandoned her long ago and never really bothered to check what people were writing for her. Like, some times she's Cait lite, others she's all waifu, and then Tobs gets his turn and i wonder how the hell anyone stays awake through her speeches. Just too many takes on the character, and all at once too. Girl's a schizo, and it makes it hard to care for her.
I tried playing it and It felt a fantasy world in modern times but with RPG mechanic's as the norm such as classes and you being a Guild Master of a guild. It's very weird game and I don't know how to really describe or make of it. It's def got potential although I think It need a core team for it to succeed.

Maybe I haven't done Ryn's content enough times but I swear on my family's grave that every time I did read her content, she wanted to be/feel like a woman and have the Disney princess happy ever after ending with the Champ. I guess for once, in regards to this topic, I'm in the middle group where you should have either option, either keeping her penis or removing it.

You're right, she does say those things and we should definitely have both options. It would be out of character for either my extremely buff and manly character to suddenly grow a vajay for this singular purpose, just like it would be out of character for my dommy herm to be forced into the sub role, again, for this one thing. At the same time I also understand some people may be into it.
Given their track record so far though, we know how it's going to end. Making both options available would probably be too much work for poor ol' Savin McLazybones to bother with.

To me, it definitely needs to improve on its UI design since I recall being lost quite a few times trying to navigate through the game and figuring out where and what I'm supposed to go and do. The rather heavy-handed emphasis on consent is also a bit clunky but something that's not that big of a dealbreaker.
Really? Cause that's really unfortunate the writer changed his mind. I asked him directly and he told me sometime after the minotaur city was finished probably. Not marriage per say but something probably akin to concubinage or becoming your personal priestess. Just when I think this game can't make me anymore depressed, It just continues to add the fucking salt to the wound lol
oh I really loved that idea at least becoming our concubinage or personal priestess (I also hope it including Daliza too) both character elthara and daliza was my fav one if it comes from boreal elven race tbh
hopefully Wsan gonna changed his mind when he done the Khorminos city content and decide to expand a little bit on elthara content, and for the future ryn content hopefully it'll be good

The more times this gets brought back up the more disinterested I get in her character, which is a shame because she was one of my favorites. Guess looming cuckoldry will do that. What's worse is that it's dragging Elthara down with her. Sigh.
Late to the Ryn gender party, gonna say my only problem with the character was the "cooldown" between her horny peaks which made having her on a team essentially a race against time to do shit before she got a debuff over and over and over...until one day I got bored and bought off the sex toys from Sven in the caravann, lord bless that Dildo making Ryn helluva more bearable companion from a gameplay aspect by removing her blue-ball-debuff cooldown entirely! (since personality wise I already liked the character.)
