Also a very valid point. You know I kinda wish there was more interaction with some of your kids. I know that'd be a massive amount of work even with the pregnancy options so far but even the haroy lady visiting you at night is kinda cute. Makes me wish you could go visit and spend some real time with the kid and I don't even particularly like her.
Rags too. It's really sad that she send your kid back to Kervus island while Hretha and Infrith send their kids to Hawethorne when she's the one who most wants to be a part of their life. She's one of the closest I've found in the game to a stable likeable partner too so it'd be amazing to really get to raise the little spratling with her into a nice big strong orc.
That said I feel like small things could go a long way to making the game emotionally deeper. Like having the option to cure Hretha's blindness or Zo's inability to speak. I assume we'll get some when we finish the Gweyr quest and she reunites with her famjam but she's not really 'yours' since she's taken and has a family and all that and you're probably doing Garth and the kids more of a favour than her because you know them better.
I feel like those smallish, well, maybe not always so small parts could go a long way to getting a deeper connection to the game and characters for those that are into that. I think that might be one place where Kiyoko really outshines all the other CoC2 characters in that there's enough content that you get an actual relationship with her. Now how nice that relationship is on the other hand is very debatable, but it is still a relationship of sorts even if it's maddeningly lopsided and out of your control. Having an actual relationship with characters like Rags, Hretha, Hethia, Garret, Elyon, Atani, Naiyana, Eddesari, Wredi, Valencia, shit Valencia could even become a companion, she's just out there doing mercenary shit and waiting for you in the valley.
Point is having some real bonding time would go a long way to making the game more memorable and enjoyable I think, not that it's super boring at the moment. I'd just like to explore some of the fringe relationships more since I like them more than most of the companions. I wanna raise kids with one of my orc girlfriends, or the elven priestess. Take my half-manticore girl out on adventures and help her become a real badass. Get into a meaningful relationship with a wise older maremilf. Even help a shy drider girl set up a textile shop or something in Hawkethorne and meet the queen she wants to so badly. I know that's a crazy amount of work but feels like it would do a lot for the game to me.
I am aware that I've probably missed a lot of other characters that people like more than those I've listed but they were just what I thought of off the top of my head for examples. Same rules go for any characters that are likeable but don't have that much interaction. Shit Azzyran is a certified cutie and a companion and even she needs more cause I can't get enough. Something about innocent shy-ish girls who are build to be bad and really want you under that innocence smh.
