If it punished the player then no one would play it. This is a common problem with these kind of situations.

Baldur's Gate 3 has the perfect case in point. The mind parasite powers don't anything negative, you can use them as much as you want no problem. But the game framed it as if you were going to get punished for using them. As a result roughly 70% of the people who played the game didn't use them(based on the player stats Larian released a month or 2 ago).

So fun fact: taking the powers does have an effect. It makes

Ultimately, it's a matter of roleplay, and I kinda like the consequences mostly being cosmetic/roleplay. It makes the power genuinely tempting, and makes it so you are giving up something to remain normal. Power should be tempting, it should have benefits that you can't otherwise get. It takes getting turned into a mind flayer from "a fate worse than death" to "tempting offer."

So spinning that back into CoC2, I do think there should be a 'side with Kass' option. Maybe something like "fuck the gods, fuck this world, I'm going to cure my demon waifu/fall into corruption and fuck off to another world." But that would require either a significant turn in the story (unlikely outside of romancing her) or the option to go against a lot of the characters (completely outside the realm of possibility.) So... eh, I'm not holding my breath.

At first I agreed with you...

But then I more carefully read that guys post and noted that he is making a reasonable argument.
He is not saying MC should be punished for choosing team evil
He is saying that joining the literal demon should have logical consequences based on the demon's established personality and behavior.

Porn game devs and their supporters are pretty insane. I could never just randomly take days off like these fucks do, the sheer amount of lenience they have is crazy.

I'm actually pretty envious about how easy they have it but in their position not doing the work that I'm overpaid as fuck to do would destroy me through guilt. They clearly have no such problems.

I was talking in general about how I always romanced Kas because the other choices have no content and thus are barely choices, and Alypia chimed in with her take.

Basically "just don't do it if you think it doesn't fit" which was a pretty meh opinion.

To be fair most of her opinions have come across as pure meh. So strange to think at one point I thought her inclusion would make the game better instead of worse like it has.

Comment approved by Savin, of course.

No one's asking for exclusive items when we're pursuing (or not pursuing) a relationship from an NPC. People are just pointing out that one choice has more content than the other, and it's the narratively wrong choice.

Then again, it is Alypia after all. They're the one that made a choice of corrupting the Hive then refuse to make content for the corrupt route because they don't want too.

Also is Alypia really a chick?

The question isn't her womanhood but her lesbianness. Her writing is so cock obsessed she should have her union card revoked.

I think she's just attracted to chicks with dicks. As I recall Ryn is her favorite and she'd written a Valk with a cock (which was a total snoozefest imo). In worlds like this where a little determination can make you grow a cock or a baby bag (or have both) gender and preference is a little bit more flexible.

I never liked her from the beginning. I didn't know why but I do now.

So...tried out a few of the new spells, gotta say that the new Black Mage's Encounter Stance is...honestly quite good thus far, guaranteed damage to ALL the enemies, EVERY TURN so long as you're not knocked down? that is actually good thus far!

Also the Ultimate now Stunning an enemy for 3 turns/Obliberating any spirit or construct no questions asked is a straight upgrade to the original, so yup, good job thus far on combat, I'll be damned they actually got something right!

Gotta see if the other two spells are good as well.

I really don't care what someone is attracted to, it doesn't make them any more or less of a person in my eyes. But calling yourself a lesbian while being down for dick no matter who or what it's attached to is just silly. Call yourself bi and be proud of it, no need to pretend.
