these days Savin is the only one left with quality characters.
I agree Savin is a really talented writer. But it's not like it's (that) lopsided. Just that others have swung and missed.
SkoW honestly hasn't been bad (lately) and Gardeford hits way more than he misses. e.g; even if Tarah isn't your cup of tea that is an extremely packed NPC.
Aileh is a great NPC and so is Ahmri. Both have tons of things to do that isn't sex which gives them more character than being libido on legs. In addition to that, Freja and Aster both have some of the most content of any of your progeny in the game and were obviously given a buncha effort. Aster has reactions for every single one of your party members. Even Viviane. When was the last time anybody did anything for her? Gardeford could have phoned it in like Alante.
Dunno if this is just for her appearance during the Palace of Ice quest
Seems that way. That art is done by DCL so it was always going to end up getting replaced eventually.
he CoC I method of restoring souls to demons costs them their personality and memories.
The only reason Lethice lost her memories was that the Lethicite used wasn't hers and was used by Marae to give her a new soul. Game says the creation of a new soul and her rapid transformation to a non corrupted creature is what robbed her.
For this game whatever the cat god's name was implied (and presumably did) merge souls back to his followers. Obvious Kass isn't getting any help from there. Alyssa, monster though she may be, was a victim as well. And if they're all roughly as strong as another there's no reason to assume Lumina can't do it too.
Who knows. If she does get cured I can only imagine it's going to end up as yet another poly thing with you, her, and Etheryn.
Edit: Good lord, what a mess of proofreading.
