little question. how much consensual iterations we have? only with some main npc like robin?
All love interests, prostitution, occasional exhibitionism-related encounters and plenty of occasions to slut around at high promiscuity.

IMO This game really needs to Hyperfocus on finishing the Main Story first before adding all the side stuff, so they can have a general outline as to where events can branch out of like for example: the Church Nun/Priest vs Kylar´s whatever was that cult that made his/her parents into monsters. and so on and so forth... instead of adding whatever every few months. :0

PD: still waiting for a Nurse Job or the streamer one, really i just want more jobs in this game, or even being able to Open stall at the beach so Robin can have some competition besides that dude that sells popcorn at least xD.

An opressive world where you are really struggling, that's all fair and well, by why not offer a silver lining at the end. It's human nature, that's why happy endings where the norm in Hollywood for the longest time.
+1 to hoping for an eventual good ending. Would love to finally be able to send all the main "baddies" to the underworld and ride off into the sunset with Robin.

Does Vrelnir even remember what he wanted the game to be like? I, for one, don't remember what I watched yesterday. xD

I mean there is no "main" story. Its just a sandbox with some lore sprinkled around in its multiple side plots.
I don’t even think you can get all the lore without going completely hoe depraved since some bits are locked behind separate RO’s storylines. I could be wrong but with the structure of reaching there you gotta harem to get to all of it

Aye. The game is, in part, a response to the deteriorating state of the world, and the UK in particular, so it's hard to avoid reminders. To forget would be to go mad.
Okay, but so are hollywood movies with happy ends - responses to the detiorating state of the world. In the confines of the movie, things CAN be made right, there CAN be a happy ending.
I believe escapism is the word for this.

Otherwise, you'd better hurry up and implement grooming gangs.

He probably can't depict minors plus everyone is already Rapemaxxing in DOL. I am more interested in knife fights , imagine someone walks up to you,calls you a 'scallywag' and now you have to duel them to death:PogChamp:

Escapism may be a thing but this game isn't it. Plus some of us like the hopeless crapsack world it is. The Hollywood urge for a happy ending is what screwed us over from a very good but bittersweet poignant ending to the newest Final Destination. They thought the OG end was "too sad" and so they did the fake out thing yet again.
So... yeah I rather like the dark scrambling to survive helplessness DoL gives us. If I want a decidedly happy feel I'll play something else.

It is funny when I introduced this game to afew friends who aren't British and they were boggled at the idea you could get in trouble for using pepper spray in self-defence and thought it surely would've been made up.

And I do play something else when I want that. DoL is for one kind of mood, if I'm looking for wholesome joy I'll pick up Our Life Beginnings & Always or its sequel, Our Life Now & Forever. In my opinion, both are really effective eye bleach.

Ive always hated how people cant grasp the idea that a bittersweet or even dark ending cant be good in its own right. Everything has to have some kind of shitty deus ex machina to swoop in and save everyone or have absolutely stupid plot armor or something and its just really annoying. Sometimes a piece of media makes you feel like shit after finishing it and that is the point of some media which makes it entertaining in its own right. Trying to white wash everything into some kind of happily ever after cop out ending is just silly. Such a large portion of media already has some lame cop out at the end that you can basically assume that whatever you are reading watching or playing is going to have one which just means that 80% of the time you can just assume thats how its going to end and be right. I would rather have the option of a bad ending or at least a bitter one open instead of just watching something trying to guess what kind of dumb bullshit they are going to pull out of their ass to make a happy end.

I strongly agree. I remember reading a story a few months ago that was good up until the ending, then wrote a long post with my ideas for fixing said ending. I explicitly remember saying that I like GOOD endings, and good doesn't always equal happy. That the author actually introduced a plot hole just for their have a cake and eat it too ending. Can't stand that stuff. I mean, I love happy endings, but not at the cost of the story's quality. Some creators understand that. I had no complaints about how Killing Stalking was handled, and I currently have no complaints about DoL.
