Others Corruption of Champions II [v0.7.27] [Savin/Salamander Studios]

[menatv]

I never did the Gweyr stuff in any of my playthroughs. The appeal of playing another character and getting very little benefit for it, just turned me off. Now this update is pretty much all to do with the aftermath of that quest.

Add to it that Liaden has only eyes for Azzy (except for one threesome scene if female, I think), this update ain't for me.

Though I suppose I could try the Gweyr quest and see if it is as bad as I think it probably is. Sigh.

0.4.38 Patch Notes:

• If you’ve returned Gweyr to Hawkethorne, you can get a new quest from Brother Sanders regarding the recovery of a Lumian relic. (By Tobs, with a lot of additional contributions by Alypia.)
  • If Liaden is in town, she can accompany you as a guest throughout the quest and will shake things up. Azzy, Cait, and Etheryn all also have some fun additions, as you might expect.
  • Dark Knight-persona PCs can expect some interesting twists, too.
  • Also includes roughly a million Star Wars references. Turn on Silly Mode for the meme-iest experience, as always.
• B! has tweaked some of Agnimitra’s text, including a new way to start her Hellhound threesome and a stop to an infinite sex loop — she’ll tap out after three consecutive fucks.

I find it pretty difficult to give a shit about a Tobs quest, especially if Azzy or her GF are involved.

None of Tobs's quests are fun. Or engaging. Or "hot". There is no need for mini novellas in a porn game.

It's funny but the Gweyr quest stuff that involves what she did in the past and the PC's railroaded reaction to her actions are the worst parts of the quest. Everything else, with the variations on how to approach some of the little adventure sections, the input from your different companions, etc was fine imo. It just sucks the kinda main point of the content is ass.

The main point of the content is ass?
I guess one could say this is a back plot.

Ain't bloody mini-novellas anymore at that point, it's more like you have to go through a Tolkien trilogy before you actually get to the part where you're supposed to whack the baddies. I decided to give a chance to the quest recently implemented, this fella lost me at the first page of text.

Yeah. I wouldn't be opposed to some proto-Bioware stuff where you get to do cool shit with *insert here new character* before sexing them up, kind of like Alypia's recent mini-quest with the teacher but longer and more interactive.

Hell, i'd honestly be stoked if each companion (read, Brienne and Arona) got some personal quests that involved less sex stuff and more bonding and actual adventuring.

But if it's just some 34985904385439583 essay for the writer to pat themselves on the back over how deep and smart they are, and that literal diarrhea leads nowhere to boot, well fuck that all day.

It seems odd to me to complain about too much text in a text based game, it's like complaining that there's too much shooting in Doom. Sure there's limits, you don't want to go full Robert Jordan but an extra few hundred words of exposition here or there is nothing to make a fuss over.

It’s still a game. If the text is boring, having more of it isn’t interesting or fun to read. It’s like having an extra long episode of a show but it’s just the characters standing around doing nothing but talking. Having more isn’t necessarily better.

There is Text and then there is the Shit they that call text that has been put into the game. If there was a Skip Button for Dialogue, It would be like Most AAA games when you interact with an NPC, YOU SKIP and go straight to accept, and Turn In Quest... "Welcome, Advent.." (SKIP) (STORE) ... LOL....... I pretty much do that on 90% of Trials now, when seeing if they actually did anything worth Real Work for a change after a couple of months. Nope. All real work stopped on CoC1, when everyone actually earned their money, instead of earning a %%%% yearly for shit and milking these idiots that actually think they are working harder than ever. -_- Reminds me of the poor sobs on StarCitizen. It is a Scam, but if they stop funding now, they will look dumb and have to admit they were wrong, but if they keep pumping money into it, something might turn out and they won't look wrong after all.

Don't get me wrong, I have funded a lot of stuff before, I almost funded CoC2 at first, thinking they might actaully do something right for a change and just have awesome stuff like the CoC1 Modded version, but once they got that Patreon to milk a monthly income. Work went to like 1 hour a month, and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for taking as long as possible.

I am more than 100% sure, that if Sav & the rest of those *So Called Writers* who think they are awesome when they turn out crap work, would come here, Listen to all the shit they don't do. Buckle Down, Get to work on EACH NPC & Companion, Give us a ton of CONTENT for each and every one, Put Corruption Path into a game who doesn't have it EVEN THOUGH THE NAME HAS IT IN IT ( Retarted ) . They would get double if not near tripple what they get on Patreon now... but that would REQUIRE Real WORK!........


Brienne = The only Real good thing to come out 110% in this game so far. There are some seconds, but ;?

 

[helllover]

Considering how they have reacted towards opinions and criticisms towards their characters and ideas before. I don't think we will get a favorable outcome either way.

COC1 over COC2/Tits

I mean yeah I think that's kind of a given at this point, so much of the garbage AO3 tier writing is baked into huge chunks of the game the only way they'd be able to fix it is by effectively revamping the whole release, which is just not gonna happen. It's just a classic nerd hobby to whine about stuff that doesn't really matter, and that neither party will likely really remember 20m after the posts.

Also always a chance a post either directly or indirectly tilts bubs to the point they fuck off, which is probably the biggest improvement we're likely to get, outside savin occasionally telling tobs to stop forcing his pet project everywhere.

There are still writers who do fine stuff though to be fair, so worth voicing opinions and takes just in case one of those come across it.

I can read a bible's worth of many pages if the text I'm reading is interesting enough.
In this case, it ain't so it's a struggle of trying my best not to sleep through it.

God f-ing demmet, another bot...

 

[Quintilus]

a million Star Wars references

How does that happens, that somebody SERIOUSLY included/used references to manchilds (in a good sense) fairytale (official statement from creator) into mediocre porn game, even as a JOKE GUYS GET IT GET IT JOKE LIKE JOKES HAHAHAHA HILLARIOUS JOKES LIKELIKELIKE JOKEJOKEJOKEJOKE? Especially in porn game....Especially in porn game that have no connection whatsoever to space...

don't forget there's the Halloween scene where your char or Cait get's abducted by chars from TiTS and analprobed

 

[fetishgirl]

At least on this part it makes sense actually: Patreon cracks down on incest between generations like Parent/Children Aunt/Nephew but not in stuff like Brother/Sister or Cousins

I get immersed in games fine, but self-insertion is something that always seemed kinda odd to me. It's weird when anime tries to do it, weird when games try to do it, and especially when porn tries to do it.

From my standpoint, I just want to see porn on screen. I don't give a crap if the PC is involved in the porn or not the PC involved, as long as porn is happening. I'm not personally involved either way so not much of a difference. Heck, I don't even play my own gender in these games, because why add more dudes?

And, tbh, there's no NTR in this game like...at all. Someone who was actually looking for NTR wouldnt even give this game a second look. NTR involves stealing, and noone in this game ever gets stolen, its just happy open sex all around that everyone is cool with.

I dunno if people are forgetting the original game, but there were actually plenty of scenes of your companions banging each other without your input. Heck, one of your companions would bang minos until you stopped her and also alluded several times to other flings she had on the side.

Yeah, what this game has is not NTR. No need to get angry about the fact that the game is about a lewd world where the characters are lewd. I'm even pretty sure that with the characters that you actually can get in relationships with, you can keep them from lewding other characters.

I pretty much agree with your Tobs & Wsan conclusions here.
I enjoyed most of Tobs' stuff early on (the Kiyoko astral plane stuff - oh and his 'Lore' stuff - especially the interesting stuff you find out by talking to the Goddess of Knowledge(?) (snake-goddess) was really interesting - gods actually being wraith that had evolved).
And yes, the inablility to handle criticism & actively aggravating critics, not through replies/posts, but through your actual writing - is just stupid
(the whole Kinu debacle - was badly handled. It was well written to start with, like you said. Watching her grow up & your interactions with her & Kiyoko were wholesome & quite enjoyable. I wouldn't have minded the incest if it was as well-written/handled as that early stage was. If Tobs either didn't want to / or wasn't allowed to include it - it's unfortunate but fine. What I object to is then depriving us of being able to watch her grow up gradually into what she is when she leaves the Astral plane along with Kiyoko.) And then complains that we weren't there to watch her grow up - which was denied us. Dick move.

Sorry, this is pretty jumbled.

To Skandranon no worries never feel the need to justify your kinks/fetishes we are all degenerates here and if character immersion isn't your thing that is fair enough but a lot of people do like it. I am more into RP myself rather than self inserts because I don't go walking around as a hung futa in real life.
NTR comment was me being kind of hyperbolic for comedic effect really. It is mostly just losing/game over scenes that are NTR. However if you aren't in a committed relationship it doesn't count I guess?? So only Kiyoko rape scenes once we are married would count. I don't think there are any rape scenes for the horse waifu or centaur waifu once they are married or am I wrong?

To Hellover I was mostly being hyperbolic but language around terms does evolve over time. However both you and Skandranon do make a point after browsing on these forums a lot I think everyone would agree on avoiding a flame posting regarding NTR people do need to chill out more on kinks they don't like I won't argue with that.

Namelessone22 Now worries I make huge rants that I could costruct better for easier reading all the time. I get what you mean and I think more people would admit I have a point on this if Tobs wasn't such an asshole about it. This is the internet nobody will ever agreee with anyone 100% on everything and some 'criticism' is just bile and hatred which is nothing but negativity. Tobs should just take a time out from the net and write in private. Cut out the massive lore dumps the petty vendetta and stick to some good smut. In terms of recent scenes I actually liked the dream sequences of fem Keros being pregnant. Making all the diety figures of CoC 2 submit to my MC and Kassarya's world of smut sounds like a solid plan and a great way of ending the conflict.

 

[helllover]

might be my pet peeve but I feel that most of the writers refusal to notice or write about pc's race, especially when the characters are talking about certain races that the PC belongs to. Is somewhat more than just annoying.

Thanks! Is there a hotfix for this version? I noticed a line about that on the blog post

 

[menatv]

Welp, I did the Gweyr quest. Man, what a slogfest that was. Not only with the creatures to fight but the walls o' text as well.

I did get a couple of decent items. Though one of them needed a high corruption and the character I ran didn't have anywhere near that amount to be able to wear it. So I guess I will get one of my other characters and slog through it all again -- this time in Story mode. Ain't got time for all that crap.

And considering this new update is from Tobs, not exactly having high expectations for it either.
