Since when is Fenoxo involved in this project? He just owns the IPits just me or this game development is more cohert and organized than any fenoxo project??
The bar for "coherent and organized" when it comes to porn games is fucking rock bottom. I used to complain about how slow/nonsense updates were back during the original CoC days and whatnot.its just me or this game development is more cohert and organized than any fenoxo project??
- Threat is no longer random. The character with the highest Threat level in your party will now always have priority.
- At-Will Stances automatically activate as soon as combat starts, without using up your turn.
- Companions now have the same XP as the Champion. No more needing to take your friends out grinding to keep them leveled; they just share your level at all times.
Pretty sure they're the most represented race in the game because of that city.Honestly, very fair takes above. As long as it doesn't devolve into pure actual unreasonable hatred for developers, making fun of CoC2 IS honestly pretty fun.
Also, yeah, I didn't actually realize just HOW bloated the game is with Horse People. Like, not only they are the most represented race in the game, but they also get their big ass city that is vital to the main plot. I doubt it was intentional and the developers aren't aware of how lil bit silly that is when you think about it, but still. Probably just a temporary phase.
Honestly, Resolve feels like an interesting idea that just wasn't all that thought-out for this game. Having a secondary health bar that is depleted by being a horny bastard sounds like a decent idea for a porn-RPG. But as you said - it really is just an additional healthbar that is harder to manage and control that doesn't really help with anything.The problem with resolve is that it requires you to use full manual combat, since by default your companions always use regular damaging attacks. If you're attacking resolve, but everyone on your team is attacking HP, then you're essentially not doing anything.
The other issue is that resolve is like a second health bar that's harder to restore, so it just makes some encounters overly tedious/dangerous depending on your level/difficulty settings/party composition, especially the more ganky encounters like the tainted witch at the river crossing, or the imps in the Frostwood. Granted it's not as turboshit broken as lust is in TiTS, but I still felt like it was a poorly thought out/implemented mechanic.
If you just limit it to 100 though, you get the TiTS system, where even your max-level, full end-game gear character can still lose in 4–5 lust attacks (which can happen in like 2 turns if you're against a group of enemies). Similarly, it can make encounters too easy (especially bosses), so enemies have to be balanced out with either high lust resist, or the ability to lower their own lust gauge, such that it kind of evens out with regular damage. I also think it's just bullshit from a roleplaying perspective: why does my 100% straight as a pole male barbarian take lust damage from a femboy wagging his horse dick around? A lot of the time they handwave it with "pheromones" and stuff, but still.Honestly, Resolve feels like an interesting idea that just wasn't all that thought-out for this game.

One way to maybe make it a bit better would be to steal one aspect from Lilith's Throne which is the fact that it's restored every time you exit combat. Or maybe just cap it at 100% so that it's an alternative way of defeating enemies that uses a completely different scaling system compared to health. Maybe that way it could also have unique effects on combat. Like getting enemy to 50% resolve would cause them to get accuracy penalty or something.
But that stuff is honestly difficult so I don't blame them for an easier option of just removing it.
Maybe he thinks people debate the usage of "who" versus "whom" when they have sex, who(m) fucking knows man. You're really questioning the logic of a guy who wants to do some shitty cultural critique of Japan through a fantasy analogue in a porn game? Though I'm surprised of all things, THAT'S your problem with his writing.I don't hate the observer like most of you guys do but one thing that bugs me with his writing style......why does every conversation feel like a matching of wits? Why does everyone have to in some way prove the other person doesn't quite understand some meaningless point or prove their intelligence. Who the flip sets a mood for sex with that type of banter....
He's not Wsan or William so I typically don't read his content for the sex as he is white toast bland but I do like his character building with Kiyoko Herthia etc. I heavily disagree with his choices for Kinu and some of the Rindo content but I genuinely like the premise of ALL of those characters. Great characters with complexity but seriously iffy execution.....he simply needs someone to reign him in. The sad part is the toxicity that seems to be the base behavior of the dev team so.......it is what it is.Maybe he thinks people debate the usage of "who" versus "whom" when they have sex, who(m) fucking knows man.

How I wish I could be so blessed.
Eh, I don't really see any complexity in his characters behind some pretty surface level things. I admit they have/had potential to be complex but they just fall flat every time. Like I said in an earlier post, he could lean more into Kiyoko being fucked up over spending so much time in the pocket dimension but she seems like a regular person after that ordeal. Nakano could actually be a decent melancholic character if he wasn't such an uptight dickhead and opened up to the PC. Kinu could have mixed feelings about you not being in her life as much as she wanted but still loves you and cares about your opinions(even though she shouldn't be aged up so this shouldn't be a thing in the first place). I can't say anything on Rindo since I gave up on his content before doing much with her.He's not Wsan or William so I typically don't read his content for the sex as he is white toast bland but I do like his character building with Kiyoko Herthia etc. I heavily disagree with his choices for Kinu and some of the Rindo content but I genuinely like the premise of ALL of those characters.
