TiTS has the benefit of much lower stakes, among other things. You're out there to have fun in the galaxy, that was your dad's implicit wish. CoC2 is supposed to be about saving the world, but you never make any progress towards that, and the world becomes less appealing the longer you inhabit it.
Not JUST have fun. You need to make sure your inheritance isn't stolen by your rival.
Said inheritance is one of the largest megacorps in the galaxy. Effectively a giant multi-planetary space empire.
And you actually save several separate worlds in your travels as side missions in TiTs.
Even when you are not saving the world, you might be saving an entire species from being enslaved by megacorps.

It just does not feel like that because the devs completely screwed up the scale perspective. And made every planet feel like a tiny village.

For real, it takes away the immersion by substracting the player's imagination from the moment, hell something like You tell Cassia that time hasn't diminished her beauty is IMPLICIT ENOUGH for you to imagine the exact words YOU would say and fill in the blanks WAY BETTER than literaly saying "Ayo Milf I think you hot!"

Am I alone on this feeling? The feeling that in an RPG if the PC is meant to be a free canvas 100% personalized by the player then it should have AS MUCH IMPLICIT DIALOGUE AS POSSIBLE so the player can imagine what they would say in each situation? Only actually putting words in the PC's mouth on important moments where is very obvious what they are gonna say.
No, you're far from alone. There were some moments like this in the original CoC but they were few and far because there was an active effort to remind writers never to put words in the PC's mouth. Even in some of the mods I helped on, there was a push on writers to keep player agency. This is something CoC 2 and recent TiTS additions threw out the fucking window. "Oh god I, the PC, suddenly just love HUGE SPINY ALIEN COCKS yum yum!!! (This is not at all reflective of the writer btw lol!)"

I wonder how much this is due to the writers trying to mask the fact that certain scenes are actually rape scenes. That would explain why the mc and crew are written to be into basically anyone you run into regardless of how the player may personally want to play their character.

For a game that has corruption in its name, the corruption in the game itself is a joke.
This is a setting with a Church that raises kids to be prostitutes run by one of a bunch of eldritch freaks masquerading as the Gods. Rape is everywhere, there's even a race of horse people whose males are inherently just crazy and feral and will try to rape anything that they see.
Meanwhile the leader of the evil Demons that are going to ruin this Garden of Eden wants to fix her species' problems.
This a reverse corruption game, we were played from the start.

I'm even more devasted now cause that's a damn good gobbo design. Absolutely tragic.
I thought the usual solution for that was to for them to get a sister written in, what happened?

Maybe a brother who's a cuntboy for a change.
Are there any already? I genuinely can't remember haven't played a working version in ages. Was that one marked-merc a tomboy?

That's probably more true than not. I also think there's a middle ground where the MC can be receptive but not overly enthusiastic or thirsty. Sort of like how a person can see another person is generally attractive but also not be sexually into them.

Ideally, I think MC should only be explicitly written to be attracted to characters after the player chooses to be receptive to their advances, or there's some sort of pheromone, mind stuff going on.

Goddamit that design is so sexy...or it would be if it didn't had Big Foot's SHLONG photoshoped into it, Fuck you Savin, FUCK YOU!

On a more happy note just wanna wish you all my fellow fapping fellas a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, hope y'all have fun tonight and that Tob's writting doesn't give anyone here a stroke! (jokes aside stay safe folks, at this point this forum is as fun as the game for me if not more, so take care!)

Or gods forbid actually include a orientation option in character creation. Lilith's Throne is done by one bloody person and she managed it but not the swarm of sycophants Savin has up his ass. "But then I'd have to write something were my special sauce self insert OC isn't instantly eyefucked on sight or worse actually rejected, WAHHH!" In other news, fucking player agency Savin. Look it up.

So am I counting wrong, or we only got two named futa characters this whole year?

Pretty sad. Haven't done this gobbo stuff yet, but I'm already disappointed.
