ayo dudes could someone help me and say how do i get these locked scenes unlocked? View attachment 1546780
The one here on the left of knowing your place is called "manhandled". During the knowing your place scene you have the option to "show her her place" (what you took) or to let her run to her sister and letting her sister sort it out (the one you did not take which results in manhandled)

What does the MC look like?
Is it the screenshot of the guy with the shaved head, neck and arms and bushy beard that is going for a smooch on the belly-dancer girl?
Yes, that's him. I've heard people say they don't like his look or his beard, but I think F95 has them conditioned to only approve of a bald faced shota MC. Like the original poster, I'm thrilled to finally have an MC who looks like he is out of adolescence and in his prime. To me, the beard seems proper for the Egyptian setting (and looks badass), but I get that not everyone is a fan of it.

Thanks for the reply.

Ya, it does match the Egyptian setting I guess. I really don't know about the historical use of beards in Egypt. I also understand that beards are uber-trendy right now, so the look will probably be well received.

I have mild pogonophobia, that makes me itch if I look at a beard for very long. It is like the empathy feeling one gets when you see somebody cut a finger and flinch for them, only it slowly builds. So I guess this game is not for me.

It is interesting that you (and the majority of people lately) think beards look "badass", even as a kid I always assumed men with beards were hiding weak chins. Not sure where I got the idea. I mean, I am sure a lot of guys with small jaws beard-up to balance their look, but just as many guys probably do it arbitrarily.

Interesting, I've never heard of anyone with such a visceral disdain for beards, but to each their own. Don't know and never thought about chins, but I know in many Middle Eastern cultures the beard is rather important and can even be considered Wajib. That's why, to me, it makes sense to see some beards in this game setting.

Anyway, just note that a majority of the shots are from the perspective of the MC so you aren't staring at his beard at all times. Also, you mostly interact with women or masked men or monster men so it's not like you're overwhelmed with beards. You're really missing a great game, but I understand if you can't tolerate some of the visuals.

I don't know about you guys, but I am asking Santa Claus to bring that day with just Ain that Z promised a while back.
Maybe you'll get it while Shani is off in the zone for her Stalker trials. It would be the perfect time for them to have some one-on-one "interactions." Got to do something to pass the time, eh? I think his wife said they would have some alone time too...but I believe she said it would be after Shani returned. So until then, it's the Ain show.

That is helpful info. If a lot of it is from first person, I might be okay. I'm gonna give it a try. The game does look like it is very well done & I hate to miss out just because of hairstyles that I imagine are itchy. haha!

In a nutshell, the ancient Egyptians tended to prefer them trimmed or shaved. As Islam took over the area, the cultural preference shifted towards fuller beards.
Mostly true, though one shouldn't forget the 900 year period of first Greek and then Roman rule, during which time most, but not all, Greek rulers were shaved. From Emperor Hadrian onwards many Roman Emperors (who were considered Pharaohs by their Egyptian subjects) had beards, including the last one to rule Egypt, Heraclius. Whether rulers shaved themselves or not doesn't necessarily say much about what was popular in society at large. It's difficult to say anything about the larger population because of a lack of sources, but we do know that scholars in the Greek speaking half of the Empire (to which Egypt belonged) during that period tended to have beards as they were to some extent associated with age and therefore with wisdom. Also here's a picture I found from the Ptolemaic era with a bearded man:

I would contend that it does, since monarchies of that era, and Egyptians in particular tended to be personality cults. And everybody wants to copy whoever's in charge.

CK 3 sucks. HOI 4 has the same exact map, but with tanks and planes.
As if that makes it any better, it's also irrelevent to my post. HOI 4 is a war-simulator that spans less than two decades. CK3 is dynasty-simulator that spans almost six centuries. You don't get to learn much about history in HOI 4, you do in CK3. Far more important however: You play characters in CK3. You can go crazy and restore ancient pagan religions or even better, go completely nuts and create your own incest/harem based religion and through multiple generations of inbreeding become something close to a god. Far more relevant for people who also enjoy this game, I would think.

That's quite a stretch to be honest. You shouldn't equate modern personality cults with those of the past. Personality cults in antiquity were mostly a Macedonian/Greek and later a Roman Imperial thing (though mostly in the East of the Empire) that came about because the Levantine populations equated kingship with divintiy. Copying the dress and habits of rulers was very often frowned upon and often simply illegal.
