Yeah, the RNG sucks.
I think that's one of this games biggest failings, the RNG to get certian items and achievements. For me it's getting the perfect birth and the artifact from the Ophanage. And yes i've read up on both of them but it's still hard as fuck to get them without there being propper player intervention. In other playthroughs i found it difficult just to get arrowheads, and the silver necklace i get less then the goldbelts. I think the game would benifit from a perk or item/s that boosts your % to find specific items which i hope is being considered for when Vrelnir adds the 2 hand item system they mentioned a while back. It would also be great if Harper could help you get better birth values or items for your room or something that give a passive boost when birthing.
I think History stat should give us a perk of bonus RNG or bonus when selling
While high Science + Tending would make a better mother out of the PC.
Normal Brothel encounters do not increase Masochism as effectively as gangbangs. For some inexplicable reason, sex battles with multiple participants take more rounds, so there is a lot more actions you have at your disposal to provoke them into rough-handling the PC. One-on-one encounters last only 2-4 rounds now, with my PC having all her sex skills and Beauty at S levels. More often than not, she's left unfulfilled when fucking just one person/beast, never mind her pain cravings not being properly addressed.
Eh? So student gangbangs are great but randoms in the brothel aren't?
Student locker room gangbangs are consensual, while Brothel ganbangs (unless it's a Friday show or the PC is corrupted by an Ear Slime) are not. There is a big difference in this game whether your PC consents to a sexual encounter or whether they're molested/raped. So yes, there are masochistic standards.
It's slow and a bit risky, but you can train masochism also during normal scenes:
Yeah, that's also possible, but it lowers the PCs submissiveness. In effect, you can have a superdefiant drooling masochist, which is probably an occurrence rarer than a futa with dicks growing out of their boobs. Toughness should not be confused with masochism. Also, (personal preference) I find bratty provocations less appealing than straight and honest submission to power/pain play. Perhaps the PC could ask submissively to be spanked / have their nipples twisted / be fucked harder etc. during consensual encounters and have their wishes granted with enough Seduction/Promiscuity/English? This would not decrease their submissiveness. It's weird that you can advertise your painsluttery by writing 'Hurt me', 'Hit me', 'Make me squeal' on your body and then converting these into tattoos without being coerced to do so whatsoever, yet be unable to whisper the same to your partner.
A lot of events in the game seem a little underwritten in my opinion. While I appreciate brevity of sex acts descriptions, with short, to-the-point sentences that only occasionally do not make sense, the PCs (and NPCs) motivations are somewhat unclear in many instances. While meeting certain criteria allows you to unlock events and take this or that course of action, the player does not really know WHY they are doing what they're doing. This results in a rather robotic, unconvincing feel to a lot of actions. For example, while milking a cow by hand seems a rather ordinary thing for a milkmaid to do, you still need your Deviancy at lv. 1 at least, with no explanation what is so inappropriate about it. Then you can suck the cattle off with Deviancy at lv. 4, but again, there is very little (if any) explanation why you would do that and how you came up with the idea of improving farm yield this way. No one suggested this, no one forced or blackmailed you to it: you can simply suck a bull's dick/cow's teat or let a horse fuck you silly because you can. The Farm gain is just a side effect.
Yeah, especially as it needs to get dark to be able to sneak into the barn to milk yourself, which takes an hour per session. And then get back home to rest, which may take 3+ hours. Thus, it's best to work on Farm on weekends or on holidays, so you're not too tired in School next morning. It sucks a bit that except for Eden's hut, Wolf Den and other places of false imprisonment, the Orphanage is the only abode for the PC to take daily rest. I guess it would nullify the game's raison d'etre if you could just move out of there and take up residence (even if only temporary) somewhere else, not just Alex Farm, but perhaps Avery's Mansion, the Brothel, one of the teacher's places, or simply sleep rough in the Park or sewers, etc.
