Absolutely.The way in which even very strange things are presented but are still fully believable within the context.
Abnormal for us, but perfectly normal for them, contextually.

What's interesting with the Egypt motifs in this games is under the Ptolemaic Dynasty, there was a lot of incest that was sanctioned, Cleopatra being married to her brother for example.
Back when they thought that keeping their bloodline "pure", not having it diluted by another bloodline, was the right way to go.What's interesting with the Egypt motifs in this games is under the Ptolemaic Dynasty, there was a lot of incest that was sanctioned, Cleopatra being married to her brother for example.
And again, it was never about the "bloodline". It is about the right to rule in a monarchy. There are about four reasons for it, and neither is "ah our blood must stay pure ahhh".Back when they thought that keeping their bloodline "pure", not having it diluted by another bloodline
True, but it one of the few cultures, other than Zoroastrian Iran, that had such practices among the rulers. I am not suggesting it was common practice among the populace, merely pointing out the thematic connection.Ehm, nah, it is a very specific kind of incest for legitimisation purposes, mother of the pharao must be a sister of a previous one (since who the hell knows who is a father of the child, but who is a mother is always clear - it serves as a proof of a bloodline). Brothers married sisters for the legitimacy, but there was no vertical incest to speak of.
Sure, wasn't clear enough. It is not about "bloodline" as in "mix as little with outsiders as possible" like some sects right now, it is a proof of belongness to the line of rulers. For example, mother of the pharaoe could have been a step-sister of his father, but for as long as she was included in the family in an obvious and clear way, it was accepted.You do see the problem, there?
Weird to us in modern day maybe, but it all seems quite plausible in a dystopian reverted Egypt. And isn't one of the reasons we play these games (other than t&aThe weirdest part of the story is how MC is grooming his youngest into being "pretty and available", and her mother and sister see nothing weird or wrong about it and even joke about it. That's really gives a feeling of a dystopian future of changed morals.
BTW, does wife really accepts it? She isn't jealous for changing her for a younger model, or anything like that?
I think that freedom of choice is part of what makes the game absorbing, the fact that you play as you choose, rather than on rails.Back to the original point though, the game gives you a lot of choice and free will.
She is an alpha all the way.
It's avoidable.BTW, do you have to bone you oldest daughter, or is it evadable?
She's fully on board. Ain's punishment made her horny as well.BTW, does wife really accepts it? She isn't jealous for changing her for a younger model, or anything like that?
but a damn shame, if you ask me.. one of Z's best scenes, in my opinion.It's avoidable.
I should note however that it is a bit of post hoc reasoning on my part, as I came into the game when the foundation was already set by Z, including the interfamilial boning.I myself tend to think more of cultural/historical references... such as marriage between siblings and first degree relatives being common practice in the pharaoh's dynasty (reason why they were riddled with diseases and defects), incestuous practices in the bible, cultural mores where it is, or was until recently, common practice for brothers of deceased individuals to marry the widow, and in certain cultures for men to have multiple partners...add to it a share of ancient greek sexual liberty and a dash of spartan/zulu militaristic communal upbringing that transcends familial bonds, and that's kind of where my head is at when I come up with lore bits to support our depraved little kinks and turn it into a somewhat believable social construct. As for the more BDSM side of things, I draw from classical literature such as De Sade, Histoire d'O and other staples of the genre, mixed with a degree of personal experience. but again, that's just my 2cents, can't speak for Z on this one
That is correct. You may want to hold out until the new update which should be released soon, but that is up to you.Hi,
ok, dump question incoming (you have been warned):
I admit, I am quite new to this board and the game especially. Nevertheless I love the game and I cannot wait for an update. Did I understand correctly, that 0.09c is the most recent (and quite young) version? Did I understand correctly, that this version has been released in April 22? I know, I am impatient.
Thank you for your work, Zetan!
Haven't you seen this? https://f95zone.to/threads/desert-stalker-v0-09c-public-zetan.68105/post-5923005I need a signature image from this game because I'm pretty sure it's on my "Best of" from this forum...
I thought such things would be put in the first post so I took for granted there was nothing in the thread.
