The problem going down this road is that people ask for a shift towards dom -> Vrelnir yields to a degree -> people ask for a further shift by using the previous shift as a reason. "You should do it again because you did it in the past" is simply nonsense. Textbook "give an inch and they will take a mile". A line has to be drawn somewhere.

I don't want dom but I do want proper defiance and for that defiance to actually have narrative weight. For instance I went through Eden's questline fighting them off 1-2x a day for weeks until I'd built up enough affection to have it be consensual. Is this at all easy? No. Is it an option? Yes. Is it at all recognized in the narrative that you wooped that ass for two consecutive weeks before you grew on each other? No.
Defiance is almost always an option; the option to just be like "NO", but its usually not recognized in the narrative and often locks you out of content. I get the intended direction of the game and I've played through it as such, but my own preference is to get and play my best hand and its not acknowledged or rewarded.

OH yeah that's not why I came here. I've a save that I've been using for 7rl version now but I can't get certain content.

#1 I read on the wiki Jordan can speak to you about the wraith? I got the schism achievement but no dice.
#2 I can't seem to trigger Robin's cross dressing quest line. I got them the right costumes on Halloween and Christmas and tried alot to trigger the scenes from the wiki but it's just not happening.
#3 I finished the dancing mansion quest that paid $$$, and can't go back but I think there was a museum item there. Am I hit?

If you got the mansion job as a quest from the temple then the mansion gets locked again once you've rescued the kid.
You have to unlock the mansion again via the normal dance job.

Honestly, my favorite one is "If you give a moth a cookie, it will want a glass of milk."

I will admit though that what the game seems to intend is not as clearly demonstrated or unquestionably obvious. Even Darkest Dungeon and it's subsequent sequel both convey opening disclaimers about how the world of DD is about facing hard choices that WILL result at times in failure and loss...it's how you get back on the horse that matters despite what ever setbacks you are forced to endure and what you've learned in the end when it matters most. Besides an opening encounter you simply luck out in, DoL has no such message.

I don't know, I don't think I'm completely against adding more ways to combat wins from attackers, I'm just worried that will eventually lead to DoL loosing what I think is its most valuable trait. Maybe I'm looking too much into it, but DoL gives no hand and asks you to persevere anyways. I like that honestly and it's what sets it apart from most.

The game is very much a sandbox sort of thing I feel.

Eh, I don't know.

My way of playing the game might be an outliner as the appeal to me was always about being able to slowly become stronger and better at fighting off attackers as well as generally becoming less harmless. Adding more of that kinda content is what would please me, but I wouldn't dream to demand.

The developer does as they please and of course the vision they have of the project is what matters the most.

You'd like Kenshi from the sounds of it. It's why I've pumped hundreds of hours into it myself...you're bottom of the barrel, even skinny little street rats could have their way with you. Then you train your character up until you are the level of godhood that even the dreaded Beak Things phuking run for dear life at the sight of you.

In any case, the dev seems really receptive to feedback. He replies to a shit load of comments on his blog posts, so he's at least open to suggestions.

Sneaking and assassination? Nah, brah...I train my peeps up to carry around Falling Suns and cleaving shit like Lu Bu on angel dust. To the point that I have to keep going back to the surgeons to rescale them so they don't wind up looking like some character from Warcraft...unless that's I want them to look like.

Martial arts supremacy and NO to heavy armors and ranged weaponry while always on "heavy" load for maximum gigachad-ness.

The game has a lot more stuff in it now, and animation has been sitting on the back burner for a very long time. The game needs its spaghetti straightened a lot more than it needs new content right now.
i had to stop combat animation entirely as was a huge cluster fuck mess of lag and intermittent images that didn't show anything but a Picasso hooked on a jack Daniels ringer solution... SMH, makes me want to delete the game and only play the version before all became chaos. Am sad.

Yeah, animations are completely broken now. Regardless of what features may still be on the schedule, it's time for the beta phase to begin.

Is it even possible to fix the animations at this point? I always figured that it was mostly due to the limitations of the html engine not being really suited for this.

It's an Android-specific issue, I think. That's usually more difficult to fix, and if you have an older phone then that could also be causing issues that otherwise wouldn't be happening on other modern devices

That makes sense. My phone is way past its projected life. Jailbreak your phones, people! Stripping out all the Google trash and other bloatware is how you make them last.
