Yes. This game seems designed for the player to get stripped in battle and lose fights pretty frequently. The fact that it's so piss easy kind of makes it hard to engage with a huge chunk of this games content in an organic way.
It actually kind of reminds me of games that have a half-assed virgin route.
The difference is in those games you have to play in a certain way to skip most of the content, in this game you just have to.... not suck at this very easy combat.
Counter argument:
Just play the game to the end for the story considering it's good and also ignore the large chunk of non-combat related H-Content that was far more interesting than any combat H-Content will ever be anyway, then go to the Recollection room and lose on purpose as much as you like to whomever you like or do so after finishing the story since the world opens up to more content anyways (except certain bosses but w/e, recollection room has em).
If the only type of content one enjoys is rape and forced pregnancy then yeah, most of the scenes will be locked away for you and you have no "real organic" way to engage. Although wait no, you do.
If you follow the story line and instead of focusing on earning money by means of combat and instead explore towns, jobs and NPCs in a curious way, things come naturally and the MC slowly opens up to sex in a pretty decent way.
In fact, this was the way that can be approached naturally if one doesnt tunnel vision on combat sex:
- Tavern Job in Port town, groped a lot
- Florist Shop guy who's taken her heart, her virginity and made her addicted to sex with him
- Garrison prostitution to earn money again as she spent it all on equipment in the capital
- brainwashed sex with goblins in Seleme
- groped by horny homeless dudes in the slums and watched a dude jerk off
- went to the beach for a break, taken by bunch of playboys
- sold herself in prison to a bunch of dudes for money so she could send a letter
- finish story, do prostitution in pleasure district where theres plenty of content to be explored
Besides, exploring the world for content rather than constantly getting combat raped in an RPGM game is the meat of it, no? Combat rape being a thing you can avoid is a good thing also if one wants to lose her first time or w/e to a specific enemy or NPC, no?
I personally really despise games that force scenes and combat rape onto the player because if I wanted to have no choice I would just watch porn and if I wanted to have serious engaging combat where losing = rape I'd download a bunch of skyrim mods. This is an RPGM game, there is limits. And even if there are a very few rare gems that do, one has to make some compromises if other parts of the game shine brightly, which they do here. Although for me this one is a rare gem all things considered.
Side note, combat is easy for the first part of the game but gets harder later on. Stupid me never bought out all swords at the blacksmith so I was stuck with the sword from the garrison, making me significantly underpowered for the later chunks of the game. To say combat was engaging for me would be an understatement, it wasn't a cakewalk and losing could happen fairly easily depending on the enemy.
