HTML Course of Temptation [v0.6.4f] [Anthaum]

I started my game as my go to female MC that is a Slut that seeks and enjoys all kind of sex. Male MC games never had much appeal to me. The thought that a girl just has fun and openly whores herself out is a huge turn on for me. Guys that are players and sleep around are very common IRL and in fiction, while the female version is not. Harem games only have appeal to me if the girls are interesting.

However at some point I did restart the game as a male Mc that is a self insert of myself. While you kinda lose the appeal of the topless bar, I never figured I'd have that much fun. Now the male save is my main game. So no, I wouldnt call it a waste of time. The fact that you can dominate or direct your partners and you can quit encounters at will if things go strange for you is a whole Plus over DOL where everything wants to rape your ass.

The only thing I dislike about the male POV is the constant arguments about using a condom. The female version can simply agree to a creampie and nobody has a second thought. I had to cheat edit my girlfriend into a Risk taker, to reduce the back and forth about condom usage a tiny bit.


Other random thoughts:

You are right. More option to be proactive would be cool. I downloaded a mod recently that allows to kiss or suggest a quicky to the girls you talk to. Stuff like that should be baseline.

I wish that NPCs pubic hair was more described during sex if you unlock the feat. Most text is about the MC only. I want to read about their hairy pussies, not how bushy my own balls are.

I wish that the gang bang mod was less rapey and mean spirited, being a fun threesome for everybody instead. Why do they need to abuse the MC after the act? I don't mind being dominated by partners that treat me rough, but There should be a consensual version too and your submission stat chooses if it is rapey or consensual.

I think you'll be happy to hear that the mod will eventually be split into two versions: Regular and a Non-Con version that has the post-GB fetish / degredation scene!

Despite advertising itself as a "lifesim" RPG, it offers only one truly viable type of playthrough — running a straight sexually subservient female, who spends her waking hours in search for cocks to take. There are a bunch of RPGM games about that, just without the "lifesim" grindy clickfest. Vast majority of the content caters to that, so running any other char gonna provide a lackluster experience.

Really this is an issue with most lifesim games with female protagonists like X-Change Life, Newlife, and Girl Life.
There's this inescapable problem where if the developer allows players to have their female characters take part in as much debauchery as possible, it lowers the roleplay and narrative impact of such actions. This often leads to a constant escalation in the depravity of the fetish content in these games, but that only further cheapens all the other sexual content that came before. If the game's world and characters end up not really caring about the player's debauchry, the player won't feel like it matters as much either.
I find much of the stat juggling in CoT to not be immersive at all. And the "hardcore roleplaying" elements don't really feel like they matter when the sexual content feels like they're minigames that don't really affect the story. DietrichGRU is absolutely right here that there are many other games that offer similar sexual content without the grind.
Basically what I'm trying to say is the sexual content has to mean something in game, either through having a bigger impact on player-NPC relationships or maybe through affecting player reputations that affect relationships will all NPCs. This applies to most games in the female lifesim genre. There's too much h-content that quickly becomes meaningless in the overall context of the lifesim aspect of these games.

Heya!
Author of the Gangbangs mod here.
May I ask what could help make the mod less repetitive?

I'm not sure there's much that could be done, it's just that the dynamic sex system in games like these is naturally repetitive mostly. Personally the #1 best way to improve that, and therefore these games, would be increasing the number of random lines and flavor text that can generate, but I digress.

I did find I had trouble making NPCs change positions or do anything but the same few acts, typically vaginal + handjob IIRC although it's been a little while. But that is an issue I've had with the base game too so I don't particularly think it's the mod that's the issue. Besides that it also just occurred way too often and was kinda annoying to keep rejecting when I had other stuff I wanted to get done. I don't remember if you could tweak the rate of occurrence in the mod.

Thanks for the reply!
Totally agree with you, games like these are predisposed to repetitiveness. I tried to give the mod as much randomized dialgoue as I could to make each event a bit different.
The newer version of the mod has a 1-day cooldown between event triggers so that should resolve the reoccurance issue!
I've added the gangbang event as a hook trigger to several other events in the game like the watching porn in the lounge event, the hypnosis story line, and the hatefuck story line to keep things fresh in the new version I'm working on.

I think CoT just needs more of everything which will hopefully come with time. It also needs more options during the sex scenes, especially for scenes with more than one partner. The question is, how much sandbox and how much narrative you want. For example: Do you want just a bunch of teachers/professors and the MC can start an affair with any or all of them or do you build in one teacher that the MC can date but who has an actual narrative arc.

Actual narrative arc, 100%. I only want sex via a narrative. The sandbox stuff to me is boring and pointless. I know I'm extreme and not the majority. /shrug

Then CoT is obviously not the game for you. It IS and always will be a sandbox. That is what it's supposed to be. If you want a narrative driven game, there are are other games for that.

The question was rather if in addition to the sandbox elements there should be more stringent and linear quests. It's not about doing away with the sandbox entirely, that wouldn't make much sense.

My 2 cents. My Addie loves spending all day Sunday at the glory hole on her knees just for the fun of it. She also sometimes starts as early as possible on a Saturday trying to best her personal record of how many different dudes she can ride...good times. That's not a grind it's a choice. I love this game and the next update is going to be fire!
