It thankfully doesn't need to for this, why pursue a romance when the payoff such as it is, is what it is?
Why? For the rest of the game.
If I'm doing Ryns content, I'm doing it for the sex scenes, the dates, the dialogue and character development, etc. I'm not doing it for some nebulous payoff 4 or 5 years down the road. I don't think anyone is.
I merely presented an in character perspective, them breaching that is the onus of the game not mine. Its hardly unique to me either.
It's one character. There were several other characters that didn't share that perspective. Different characters have different situations; the point is that when you're saying CoC2 is living up to the standard of CoC, that was never the standard of the game, just a character in it.
That's actually the line said when you disable the sharkgirl(forgot her name) from playing with the harpy(forgot her name) without you present, you can likewise disable the sharkgirl from playing with the goo girl, there are a few overlooks in this list sure but that's probably because the game as it stands now is like finished? If that?
The fact that she wants to do it, and will do it without you if you give her the okay kinda contradicts the whole idea of that line though? Being able to disable it is not the same thing as those characters clearly wanting to fuck around without you.
Actually that's an invention of the sequel that I don't find myself alone in disliking. It existed in pretty decent frequency in the original, there were a few of the various NPCs that you could pursue relations with that weren't exclusive but a decent chunk of them were.
How is that an invention of the sequel if it was also in the original game? I must be misunderstanding something here, sorry.
Back to the topic at hand though, yeah I find the presented solution for the Ryn issue untenable and reductive of what the prior game had on offer, especially since you could dedick quite a few futas back in the original. Just because Savin gets off on this cuckholdry bullshit doesn't mean that everyone does.
The "presented solution" hasn't happened yet and we don't really know what form it'll take. I would think, given almost every other interaction in this has the ability to not happen, there's a decent chance there's a choice here too.
And calling this "cuckoldry" is...weird.
Every single relationship in this game is an open relationship, even if the characters don't take advantage of it. Brienne and Kiyoko not fucking other people isnt because you've both agreed on exclusivity, they just aren't interested. Both of them even have a conversation about it.
