And that is a result of bad design + weak story telling. If Gweyr had anything to her beyond the forced edginess of her story people wouldn't have to be forced to go through with that nonsense.Hey remember, if you're on Kas' love path you still can't get access to her quest divine intervention or get most of her backstory without building Cait's temple. Besides if they didn't gate content, nobody would even bother with Gweyr
Same with Cait's temple, if Savin had realized that the problem with how some of his writers act towards the players (and that includes the content they submit, which is a massive problem and I can't recall having witnessed a similar amount of unprofessional behavior like that before) stems from their attitude and not the players all being dickheads maybe Cait related content wouldn't be considered unpleasant by such a big chonk of players (depending on where I look it feels as if it is a majority by now, but that isn't really important even), meaning that there would be no reason to gate Kas content behind Cait stuff. It's just insane in my opinion, and extremely sad on top of it cause at first CoC 2 was very, very promising. Easily a contender for "The best Fen game as of yet" and in some ways better than Trials in Tainted Space even. Sadly by now it has become more of a self-insert circlejerk for the authors, who completely ignore the fact that the game still advertises itself as a lewd CYOA game with an emphasize on player agenda. Now the player character could literally be removed from the game & nothing would change, it would only require some adjustments here and there, but overall the game would be the exact same.
My problem with CoC 2 comes from the inconsistency & the blatant dishonesty on the end of the Devs. Also, as of late, the quality of the writing has fallen apart like a sandcastle in a hurricane, it's below some of the stuff written for CoC 1, ironically at times written by the same person.
