Others Corruption of Champions II [v0.7.45] [Savin/Salamander Studios]

[Biostar]

"no bastards" policy

Interesting roleplay. Can't say it's really feasible without sterilizing yourself though.

Who else feels annoyed at the way relationship and pregnancy are intertwined? I feel like romantic pregnancy shoule be something that happens after you cemented your love for each other; it being used a shorthanded way to finish off a love arc/lock the major progression/stunt important scenes behind it is kind of starting to rub me the wrong way.

Rindo, Tetsuyo, Zo, the twins, Brint , Liria and probably many others that I forgot. Just feels iffy to me.

Mmm, I guess. Any other project I might think that's a good point, but with this team with how slow they are in general deliberately going the long game might mean years without any payoff. Romanceable NPCs aren't allowed in without having sex content because of that. Plus, they're just not very good at romance. Tobs' idea of a date honestly baffles me.

You'll do your taxes in triplicate to squeeze out as many deductibles as you can with that raccoon girl and you'll like it, mister.

Even the minor bits of corruption in game that exist, the correct choice is ALWAYS to remove Kas' influence. Doing otherwise locks you out of content.

Wait are now Cait's potentional romantic feelings the corruption or the temple to her god?
Because denying her your support in building the temple locks you out of many content including Kas corruption but opens a path for Cait deciding to become a kind of dedicated mom like Brienne.
But for this as Savin said you would need to make her breasts and hips as big as they can get which then Cait makes Cait thinking that the only to get even more like a mother goddess would be getting children. But the only person whose cittens she would want is the MC and only if the MC wants it because creating a rift between MC because of this is not worth it.
But this is only when you did not build the temple that she would be able to get this thoughts that lead her astrey from her religious path.

BTW I'm quite surprised we're treating Tollus being the final boss as some kind of "recent" change to redeem Kass

No?
Tollus and Kassyra have a very lovely 'die you today and me tomorrow' relations since the beginning, according to demonic horse dong in dream palace.

one of the first bad ends in this game us & Kass being trapped inside a magic mumbo jumbo made by Cultist Cueball over at the Harvest Valley?

What?

Tollus letters signalling his lost of faith over Kassyrra, his experiments over weaponizing Demonic powers, his obsession with old Belhar and relics of ancient power, the fact he has been around as a piece of shit since FOREVER using potions to stop aging, etc just...he was always the final badguy wasn't he?

Again, what?
Isnt Tollus were fighting for the title of baron with his sister 'insert name of a semen vampire cunt that is a current baron of a hawk castle'!? That was the case in some of the old version, at least. Or it was retconed, again?

They both bad but in a different way. One have retarded motive 'wanna be a baron -> do everything to make it happens' and another not even a iota less retarded motive 'wanna be a mother -> do everything to make it happens'.

I really wish I could let the harpies stay in the wayfort without having to deal with the random, forced, no protection gangbang on living quarters tile.
I've already broken my "no bastards" policy like twice with Mitra and the unnamed Kurokawa child and I don't know how much more I can take without killing what little immersion I have.

You literally allowed yourself to be cucked, twice.
Despite not wanting to, the game browbeat you into it. And you are unhappy about it.
You will be happier just abandoning the game instead of begging the devs to stop.

Ahhhhh i can see caits thought process now there she is getting railed in the tavern thinking about the cuck upstairs how good of father he'd be. I just cant take her seriously in that regard everytime i hear about these supposed feelings i just remember everytime she's in town she's getting railed at a wedding its a gangbang MC got rejected by a love interest dont worry cuck cat has just finished downstairs..... All savin has todo is make all those scenes only happen if you built the temple it'll remove some of the cum stains at least

Man I'm just upset that there isn't an option to say no in that one specific random encounter in my own home despite the option being there with the maid encounters in the same zone.

I think you misunderstand me. I am not saying every choice we make in the game that locks us out of content is corruption. The game has quite a few choices and some of them have no 'corrupt' or 'evil' choice. And some of those choices lock you out of content.

I am saying every time we encouter the Corruption the game actively encourages you to purify it, and punishes you if you fail to do so.

The instances we have of Kas' corruption are:
The Wayfort- No choices are made here.
The Hornet Hive- The correct choice is ALWAYS to purify it. You loose access to Azyrran if you corrupt it and gain literally nothing.
The initial Winter City Dungeon- This has 2 choices.
1)The Romance vs Rival one: (The Lore thus far supports the Romance path)
2) Jael'yn to Bar or Wayfort (The Bar has more scenes. Its VERY close though so if it wasn't for everything else I wouldn't notice.)
The Centaur Dungeon -The correct call is ALWAYS to purify the village. You loose access to a number of scene if you don't, with no benifit.

I can go on.

We have yet to have a single decision in game where "I am going to do the bad thing" has rewarded us.

At least with the temple example you give, an attempt has been made to make the alternative path attractive, even if its not ideal. When it comes to the games central plot the game very much has a preference.

So what I'm getting here is...we not allowed to impregnate both kitties?
Do temple: Impregnate chococat
Do not do temple: Impregnate Cait...someday...eventually...been a long while since I heard about this romance route (weird considering how much Savin loves her to not add extra content right away)

Don't you get it? The romance route is whispering sweet nothings while watching her get gangbanged. What a classic!

When and where did he say this?

At any rate I wouldn't put much faith in a "dedicated" cait. Honestly~
Ryn ended up not getting her cage kept on as a corrupt option due to the work.
The amount of work they'd have to do to make Cait not do and fuck almost everybody she sees would likely be just as much.
And likely get just as dropped.

Which to remind you, in true CoC2 fashion, confirming your love with Ryn required you to have her on one route only (high confidence), and either get sodomized by your sub bottom buttslut or do a 'threesome'. Low confidence Ryn? Don't want to get dicked on? Go kick rocks, lol.
The buildup of that option by Lumina to undo her cage reads like it'll be the same way. So don't expect any salvation there.

Don't you get it? The romance route is whispering sweet nothings while watching her get gangbanged. What a classic!

I mean.
You're not wrong.

Savin also said this:
(this took longer then expected to find)

She's basically a sacred prostitute of the lust god who happens to be your friend, and she's VERY up front about what her content entails -- she literally sits you down and talks you through her views on relationships before you can access her sex menu. If you get mad about the sex nun having sex after she told you she's gonna have sex, then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The PC and Cait *can* have a deeper relationship than just fuckbuddies, but unfortunately a lot of the momentum on that has been lost to me endlessly working on quests and dungeons on the other side of the game. Eventually the idea is you can join her in holy thottery and hold hands while you both get bent over the altar of the femboi buttslut god, or maybe steer her away from the most extreme sexual excesses of her faith (though she's never going to become a monogamous tradwife).

What could a "kind of dedicated mom like Brienne" entail?
Given the consistent unreliability? Probably nothing to the extent of even being remotely near Brienne. Maybe a scene or two ("I would only have your kids anyways, [pc.name].", she says whilst being plowed by a train of minotaurs in the name of passion.) and that'd be that. And various people would say "what did you expect? Dedicated just means in regards to getting pregnant" or some nonsense.

Don't even let your eyebrow raise. Don't let it twitch.

Low confidence Ryn?

The best Ryn doesn't have a love route? Huh?

 

[Wrynn13]

Isn't the corrupted totally not a lightsaber the better version? I've only ever gotten the pure one but thought I remembered reading that.

 

[MangaKing]

Doesn't look like it, I'd say give her confidence then crash her back down later but that seems rather cruel.

 

[Alterism]

Sure doesn't.

Do the dungeon. Finish off Alyssa or let Etheryn do it herself. Go do the Elthara threesome. And instead of

You get

Ah, that stinks. So what are the plans for low confidence Run then? What is our relationship with her?

How to release precious Etheryn

Raw stat wise it's not shabby almost entirely due to the accuracy. The armor pen is only like 5% more damage. Defensively you also take like 5% more damage. The accuracy is what makes it wortwhile. The blight damage is useful against a decent amount of enemies. Less so the bosses where that would matter. Faceless blade has like 50 blight resist IIRC.

Realistically Deflect makes you immune to damage from most fights. To show how this is against absurdity, max power dragon Evelyn after she blows her dragon breath (and you survive that) can't actually hit your MC anymore. Period.
Deflect is pretty insane.

Swordsoul isn't a particularly bad ability and...
Ah hell. We'll do this properly, I've got the time.

Spoiler: BIG explanations in bound

TL;DR
It's biggest boon is the accuracy it brings and occasionally the blight damage (though most of the enemies with a blight mallus or mooks who get one turned with the dawnsword anyways. Additionally you'll still miss highish evasion enemies unless raw stacking evasion from other sources.

In all other ways it's inferior.

Ah, that stinks. So what are the plans for low confidence Run then? What is our relationship with her?

Don't know. I mentioned it before but I stopped keeping track years ago.
(I'm mostly sucked back to this thread because of the notification bell)
Guess I could go check and either amend this post or make a new one.
