Automation goes brr.The poor will die,the middle class will also die(but in a slower and more cooler way) and the rich will do whatever the rich do.Tis what it is
And when the rich inevitably kill themselves off in some stupid conflict, the only thing remain will be Twinkies and cockroaches. Not a bad run for humanity.(y)

One of the biggest pieces of wasted potential in this game is the fact that companions don't feel like companions. Hell, I feel closer to most of the shipmates in TiTS than I do the companions in this game. There are a lot of things that contribute to this feeling, but the biggest two are the characters lacking any sort of nuance and the fact that they have pretty much no content outside of the tavern besides some shitty flavor text for quests.

None of these characters have any internal or external struggle and it makes them incredibly boring. The only two that do were Berwyn and Cait. Berwyn's not even a companion anymore and it's hard to tell if Cait even fucking remembers about her sister half the time considering it seems like she cares more about spreading her legs and building some useless fucking temple. These characters don't struggle with anything. Sour relationships hardly exist and if they do, they're downplayed to the point of being an interesting piece of trivia. Literally all of them are along just for the ride, NONE of them are personally invested in the conflict besides Cait.

This might've been somewhat excusable if we actually got meaningful conversations or bonding time with companions, but those scenes are few and far between. And since those scenes are so rare, I have a hard time caring about them when they do come along. Like Arona saying she loves us in the bathhouse could've been nice, but there's absolutely 0 build-up to it so I just straight up don't believe it. Same thing goes for every other companion barring maybe Ryn.

This game had the potential to be so much more heart-felt and unique among Fenoxo games but they just pissed it away in favor of mindless shlock. It's genuinely heart-breaking to see.

I think you've got a sweetspot for that sort of stuff: a point between having their own things going, special characteristics to stand out but not to the point of overtaking the position of main character and just being fun enough to the point where the player wants to learn more about them.

Haven't played the game in ages but I do remember some of the noteworthy characters having like one of the three but not more than that and I don't remember Berwyn's shtick all that much.

Was gonna say Brienne was the closest of the bunch to suceed but that's probably because she's the only really nice one.

I've been playing since around the 0-3-xx versions
The only characters i've actually come to fucking enjoy are Cait and Kiyoko and the kitsune.
This is a game where almost none of your actions aside from killing characters have any fucking consequences.
I love the stories you can have in this game, I do genuinely have fun playing it, i've done around 6 fucking playthroughs now probably more when drunk or not really paying attention.
I wish that more stuff was like the Fox Den questline that leads to marriage and or selling your soul to bind yourself to a god in exchange for new content / altered content and buffs/skills.
If only they took the example of the Kitsune's and applied it to the rest of the game, this would be a much more fullfilling game.


Overall it's pretty good.
But if you don't marry Kiyoko and do her whole questline you miss out on some of the only truly great content here.

That's a rather unpopular opinion to have around these parts. Most people here, including me, dislike The Observer and his writing more than any other writer, barring Bubbles but he's kinda like a discount Tobs so it tracks. I've avoided interacting with most foxes as much as possible on my later playthroughs because I find a good deal of them okay at best, insufferable at worst.

Which is a shame, because I liked Kiyoko's initial inception enough to ignore the desperate attempts of inserting copious amounts of weebery in her scenes, but now she's saddled with so much baggage that it's just not worth it. A lot of the content surrounding the foxes, in general, seems like a very heavy handed attempt at adding serious depth to the whole colony but it just ends up falling flat because all of the "social commentary" is in the foreground and beating the reader over the head, instead of being more subtle. The very tired weebery, headpat ceremonies UwU, also detracts from it all.

On a more positive note, I've started my first playthrough in a while since I feel like there's enough Khor'minos content to justify another go. I'm still slowly plugging away and haven't explore KM proper, but I've gone through the Undermountain area, decided to kill off Sandre and Caera and wanted to give Fleep props for writing the most interesting execution scene so far I've read. It gave me the biggest feeling of remorse out of the lot, but it was also really cool how the scene plays out if you go for it. Really nice. (y)

Let's see...
Syri - Have to actually bond and get closer to her, do a quest for her, and get her panties before you're able to get her as crew
Kiro - See above
Paige - Plenty of bonding and intimacy before she becomes a crew member, you need to quite literally invest half a million credits in her, and when she does join she feels like a valuable member.
Bess - Has an entire arc about becoming sapient and what it means to be human and a good romance done over a long period of time.
Shekka - Need to interact with her, finish the planet she's on, and do a time consuming quest before she joins. Has fun interaction with another crewmate.
Sera - Is a fully fleshed out character with aspirations, flaws, and interests even before becoming crew. In-depth training for her to enjoy being a sub while on the ship.

Compare that to CoC2 companions:
Cait - You instantly get her at the start and the devs have not done anything interesting with her. Just a bubbly pink cat whore that gets mad at cultists and demons(but doesn't really care if you're fucking the demon queen)
Atugia - Has potential but is a complete nothingburger atm.
Brint - A generic hunk nothingburger.
Brienne - Cute character with lovey-dovey scenes, though completely uninteresting past that. Could be interesting with doubting her feelings for MC with the whole armor thing, but Wsan is never doing that.
Azy - Goes nowhere and has no depth.
Arona - Half-assed romance, completely boring character.
Agni - Who?
Vivianne - Who?
Quint -
