Hey y'all, it's been a while. Suffice it to say that an overeager player has been annoying the hell out of me, so I had to leave the community for a bit and recover my sanity.
Anyway, there was a rather major bug discovered today, so I wish to pass on some info.
Turns out that if you clicked into World Generation Options, clicked "What is the world seed?", exited, then re-entered the World Generation Options, it would set the default seed to "velvetrope". This is a special seed that makes the NPCs very submissive. If someone didn't notice that the seed changed and/or didn't replace it, then their next game would be much different than the way the way the game is meant to be played. This would continue to persist across all new games until the seed was changed.
This bug is an easy fix, but there's the potential that a not insignificant amount of players may have been impacted by this. If your NPCs have been acting oddly and it seems like they never take the initiative, act strangely in sex scenes, etc then I suggest you go check your World Seed and make sure that it's not "velvetrope".
