So people are counting mod as cannon and the lore of the game is getting forgotten as a result.interesting.
Well first of all coc2 isnt a sequal to coc1 and its lore is ALREADY based in an incocistent plot line:
In CoC, nothing gets out of mareth once it enters. This is a universal law upheld by unknown means and is never touched upon why it is so. One can make assumptions, but it matters little. In one of the several endings (read: one of the several contrived endings written to get it over with by Savin), it turns out that the head demonic researcher that has two whole single line mentions in the entire game from throwaway crap in the bazaar managed to discover a way to leave Mareth properly and kept it hidden from everyone else. We'll go with this as if it's not really dumb. In CoC2, the main demonic villain comes into whatever shithole the game plays out through a portal that opens every so often much like the one in ingnam or whatever, except this one needs some form of ritual with cultists too, I guess? Either way, this happens almost right after or even during the CoC protagonist's fight with Lethice, right after this demon steals that research of portals or whatever. Now answer me: where in that time frame did she have time to learn the spell or method, communicate with the cultists, and wait for the portal to naturally open on time to not only apply this method and communicate with the cultists? Savin also seems to be under the assumption that all portals that aren't unstable that vanish completely to never return operate on a very specific schedule of exactly a year when no portals—stable or not—are ever consistent with each other like this. A direct quote from CoC2 to display the inconsistency the game is based on: Evergreen nods, reclining back on her divan. "The Hawkstone portal opens only once a year, and when it does, only one transaction occurs. Most portals allow passage freely, if you can find them and force them open with the correct rituals, but this one... wherever it leads seems to operate differently than other worlds. One thing goes through, and one thing comes back. And only once each year."
So its too late to care about lore when you not only rushed the first game but have the second game be incosistent asf and make no sense at all.In my humble opinion ofc
Second of all people are mixing up the lore of coc1 and the lore of coc1 modded ver.Seems to me that people are either dumb and forgetful and cant differentiate between OG coc1 and MOD coc1 OR people prefer the MOD coc1 and hence dont talk about OG coc1 lore.
Only thing i see is people enjoying the modded version of a game more so than the original and that just speaks to the writers incompetence and inability to take criticism and become better(Mind you this answer is based on the screenshots you provided)
The reason it doesn't add up is because they are not talking about this kind of lore.
I am pretty sure the "lore" they are actually salty about is things like their special DONUT STEEL self inserts getting unapproved of changes.
Modders added options to turn various futas into women
Modders added lesbian, gay, and straight optional content for characters who were otherwise locked into specific alignments.
Modders added ways to turn the table against untouchable opponents like akabal. (who specifically demanded that akabal will never ever be a bottom. if you win against him, you get the OPTION to beg him to bless you with power. that is it.)
THAT is the lore they are mad about.
Remember when they introduced Dr Badger to TiTs (futa who auto rapes you with no warning and you can never get back at) they spent literally weeks banning and deleting the post of everyone who complained about it in the forums (which was pretty much everyone) until finally caving in weeks later and agreeing to let you both opt out of being raped, and optionally turn the table son dr badger.
And that was due to massive huge fan outcry where they genuinely worried their game would tank if they didn't backtrack. and it still took weeks of fighting their community before they surrendered.
Many other very unpopular choices stayed forever. Because the fan outcry simply was not big enough to threaten tanking the project
With mods, they know people are going to let people opt out of their various forced fetishes with their OC DONUT STEEL characters like cait the nasty used sock.
This infuriates and scares them. So they are anti modding.
