What? MC is left alive just because red flying horsecock said so aka TOTALLY LOGICAL AND BELIEAVABLE ASSUMPTION TO THE STORY YES YES VERY GOOD SAVIN IS A GOD IN STORY CREATION VERY YES 10000 OUT OF 10 STORY DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESSION
Yeah I dunno. Generally yeah they've just made it so "well mc survived and the only thing special about them is their soul is sussy." That's just so boring. They don't just have to do anime or edgelord power fantasy but the combat systems just feeling awful, many many forced losses and characters just walking over you. A final boss fight with kasyrra or whatever entity they choose to let you beat probably through sheer luck or help will feel unearned or empty when so many characters are portrayed as just better. It doesn't matter if you're a level 10 champion of keros with a one shot combo, or friggin 700+ hp with crit nullification, nothing but resistances and at least 2 auto revives, you'll get sucker punched regardless.

Less complainy though and speaking of quin, his tank kit sounds fun to mess with, hope it's released sooner than later. Honestly imo too quin started off abrasive and crap but nearly everything in the game has got to the point where he seems pitiable or even like a decent character more and more. Bubble lord sometimes seems like one of the most toxic writers on the team but I've got a soft spot for rune and with some of the interactions with cait I kinda feel bad for him, he seems salvageable at least. He just comes off as a loveable failure of a playboy now, if they toned down all his insinuated date rapey magic and made him more of a bro or a romance option he could be decently solid.

It doesn't help that he's become one of the sole options for a male party party member so if you're going to give people who want males or a party with balanced genders something he's one of the only choices. I doubt he'll reach it tbh but he has potential and is a good enough idea, since he was a member of the cult he should have plenty of opportunities for flavor texts, his statue stuffs interesting, his abilities are cool with his combat bust changing etc. he just flips between rapist, prick, and arrogance. For all intents and purposes they removed Berwyn and brints hyper masculine so quin needs to really capitalize on being suave and more vulnerable or something because if people are ok with furry and want dom stuff I don't see why they wouldn't just pick brint, more loveable, no rape spell threats, giga Chad body, with you earlier and easier. It's not like the jock vs the mysterious goth, it's the jock with flowers vs the guy you thinks been following you

I feel like this is somewhat of an inherent problem with games, after all Aeries could've died in a hundred fights before her cutscene in FF7 but suddenly the pheonix down no longer works? It's hard to have a battle system while also having a story with stakes unless you somewhat regard the battles as non canon or just visual representation for the sake of gameplay. You can sometimes suspend disbelief a little more by doing the pokemon thing of 'Pikachu fainted' instead of died but cmon he got hit by a flamethrower that you're not just gonna need some smelling salts and a lie-down. Alternatively you can weave player death into the story a la From Software's action RPG's but you kind of need to build a whole world around it beforehand.

I mean there's all kind of interests when it comes to dom/sub dynamics, yandere is a thing afterall. I agree that there's probably a larger audience for more generic suave confident fellas though.

I've always understood "death" in combat to be either a) non-diegetic, that is to say it's not canonical: it's happening in your game because it's a game, but in the official version of the story, it doesn't happen; or b) it's not actually death, but just fainting (seeing that it's also cured by just resting up in an inn).

i agree quin is salvageable if he's more well developed. design wise he's nice looking and again one of the only male companions now. i get he was part of a sex cult but come on how am i supposed to get a feel for the dude when like 70% of my interactions w him r abt how badly he wants to fuck my teammates or whatever. my mc got knocked up by him and iirc the dialogue when hes there after the birth was actually pretty sweet so it's a shame otherwise he's just.. ugh. his writing seems so inconsistent too. like so when you first rescue him or whatever and ur like "sex?" he's like "no that would make me look shady i'm new here" but then as soon as you get him as a companion literally 1 day or whatever after that convo he's then like "fuck yeah lets do it" and also just loudly proclaiming how badly he wants to fuck all the local women or whatever. and its like uhh where did the quin from the first scene go? would've loved if they'd turned this into like a having to get to know him before u can bang or whatever/maybe events that have you getting to know him and help get the town to be more used to him but i guess i shouldn't have expected that much.

- edit: 0.5.10 hotfix was added and 0.4.25 was removed as it confused people
Steam beta key: sdXD4hptyEoFW9sfSVVs


0.5.10 Patch Notes:

  • Updated to fix some issues with Quin’s quest states!
0.5.9 Patch Notes:
  • Quin has a new quest that results in him getting a new set of heavy armor to protect his friends with. You’ll need to get his relationship score up then, after a bit of prompting, talk to Atugia about training him into a proper warrior.
  • Atugia and Quin have new events in the Hawkethorne Gym, and Cait, Atugia, and Brienne have updated Quin-centric talks.
  • Quin has new one-off interactions at Ivris’s, the Frost Hound, and any Hawkethorne gate — all of which increase his relationship score.
  • New Quin CG if you spy on him while his armor’s getting fitted (by Sulcate).

So...basically this update is just a Quin update. Though it is nice Atuga is getting some attention.

Still I think I shall just wait for another update before trying this one.

Hey Quin!
Good going buddy, you got promoted to desperate band-aid to appease fans after Berwyn got axed.
I guess it sure is lucky for you that people liked Berwyn enough to raise enough fuss even Savin had to acknowledge the problem and do something about it.

Thanks but damn why him of all people.
if someone would be kind enough to summarize the scenes update.
Can someone summarize this update to the important parts? And I swear, if I'm made to watch Quin fuck someone, I might actually crawl through my computer screen and strangle him.
