I feel like we are getting into schrodinger's cat territory with this. We aren't in the multiverse theory whereby in some alternate reality an action is being taken right now by alternate Antherak that is opposite to what you are now doing (he isn't wanking to furry porn). No, it is just a visual novel with branches, that's all. If you choose to take an action or path then a result happens, if you choose not to take an action or path then that potential result does not happen and never did.
I understand and fully agree like i said. I was just expressing wishful thinking that i would have liked. The game is made how it's made and this late nothing will change and i'm ok with it. In a more mediocre game, i would just have run through, deleted it and moved on, but when i happen into a fantastic post apocalyptic fallout type setting with compelling story, banger music and interesting characters, my dislike of a kink gets pretty low like i've said i'm not the pitchfork and flames kinda guy. I much prefer having a good game like this one, be grateful that i can clic no and go on, than not have it. This is one of the games i follow and hope that it will be completed.
Speaking of, i've discovered this game only a few weeks ago and didn't even post my impressions yet. My 1st run, i picked limited violence (i had a game which the demon impregnates a girl, then rips her insides to get the baby) and since then, i'm always hesitant at first to pick extra violence options. Get home from the intro and right away the daughter tries to jump my bones. She seemed angry i told her no. I continue for 1o minutes to get a feel do the decayed mission and mostly get black screens when i picked the killing them option, then start reading the journal.
What a wonderful addition! I get an understanding of the world, figure out incest is a given and normal thing, read a bit about the factions, some which i didn't encounter yet then reset my game. This time, i go with gore on. I cannot tell anyone now to have it off. It is great. It is not overdone and add a fantastic additional depth and i feel you do miss a lot of context and great scenes by not having it enabled. Just as something i said a bit before with that mission at the decayed camp. Adding the hanging corpse, the butcher area and so on, such added atmosphere.
I mainly went the way of not killing everything that moves (except decayed, fuck those guys, can't wait for the clash with the old mentor to happen). I went the way of the positive progression and being generally helpful and protective to myself and my family while still being sarcastic to people i didn't like and to most of the factions. I'm a powerful MoFo, let them beg me for help.
As for the factions: I like the Queen, but told her to go fuck herself a few times and kindly reminded her i could fuck her brains out whenever i would choose to. The mutants are mainly ok, so neutral for me for now, but i will not let them raze the city and deprive my family of luxury. I try to negatively interact with the decayed when i can. I was neutral with the raiders too, but the sisters actually grew on me and really like their content. As for the hive, i did one of my only 2 save scum to see both ways before deciding. Either way, you loose a side character and have a scene. As much as everything told me the monsters were bad, i just loved the ambiance, the black and red flashing and that great scene with the mother, wow, will come back sign me in! I didn't like the wife's sister and husband and her kid arc. I see no reason to always remind her what she could never had and assume it will be and arc to culminates in cucking the looser husband? I was also disappointed that on the repeat nighttime scenes with your wife, you mainly just play with her and can't actually have just real sex with her. MC should also just buy another battery and go get back his old car and give it to Shani, else she gonna be walking ALOT. Trying to fix both my basement and fairy to grow my harem. My second save scum was with the mute sister at the end of the raiders portion as i was curious. Damn, i didn't expect the MC to be that brutal on what probably was the first time someone even just touched her, let alone defile her in a traumatic way. So i reloaded and will try and put her in my basement (as all pretty girls should go) as i wouldn't want her life to go from miserable to even more miserable by throwing her to the raiders. I hope we still will get some small Shani sidequests from time to time using the character swap function, like finding the zone stalker's wife and telling her that her family is dead.
I like the soundtrack. Not so much the arab/indian? theme ones, but the more rockish pieces the raiders have are bangers and the hive piece was candy. I wish the pictures of the save files were a bit bigger to more easily distinguish which scene you want to replay and a gallery would be nice.
Overall fantastic game, would recommend to anyone and is worth putting some things that are off putting to you to the side as it is not a big price to pay for a game with this quality.
