Pretty sure a lot of folks made that point loud and clear to Cari after that incident with Lauren and a certain "bad end" back in OIAL...Dude is just clogging all the threads with the same copy/pasted request ( I guess reading the tags is too much of a work), but it's good to read that Caribdis will never put such a thing in his games ( nothing against it, it's just not my cup of tea).
Agreed, when I read that same question in the PC thread ( it's one of the two games with that kinks that I'm able to play since the story and the characters are just too good) I was confused for a moment as well...
Yeah I can understand, I never played that scene ( I really couldn't force myself to do it) but I read the reactions were really strong in that regard.
Either that or they're intentionally instigating a fight within the threads. Wouldn't be surprised if it was though.
Even in some cases, when the question's been already answered as best as possible by other users, some other people just keep asking the same question ad nauseam. They either don't check the tags or don't bother in using the search bar at minimum.
IIRC if you chose to sell Lauren to the Yakuza it closes her route and MC gets killed sometime after.

Okay I'm kinda confused there. I don't understand what point folks were making ? It looks like it's Caribdis who made the point loud and clear by punishing netorare/sharing with death (a well deserved one may I add). People who don't like sharing and/or netorare should have been good with that, right ? Or am I the weird one ?
Well in that continuity, Lauren would be a sex slave even after the MC died, if I understand it right.
Wow okay well that's horrible and I'm glad I've never played it either. But it's still doesn't make sense to me. The only people who could make a point here are people who'd enjoy sharing. You share, you get punished. You don't share, you're all good. All we have to do to avoid pain is to make the right choice (much like the Regina scene in Eternum even though it's less extreme). Were they just mad that the scene exists at all ?
Apologies if I'm not understanding your statements, but yes, some ppl cannot even accept that a game could contain certain content that they don't specifically like, even if its very easily avoidable, or hell even has a "turn off all x content" option at the very start of the game.
Complaints about that choice, because a lot of people felt it was unnecessary and too cruel toward Lauren, of course the majority expressed their concern in a civil way, but I read there were some harsh words about that.
I believe you're referring to Luna's outfit in the Red Herring server (it does look similar albeit a different colour iirc). There's also a trio of the Witcher themed wallpapers released sometime ago. These are the links if you wish to take a look at them.
I mean I can't stand to see the characters suffer either, but I'm not going to complain that it's there if I can easily avoid it. I don't even want to see that scene. Even when someone showed the picture of Penny crying in this thread I quickly closed it because I hate it, and I know for a fact that I will never play this scene myself. Thing is I kinda enjoy knowing there's a bad path I can avoid / have avoided. It's relieving to me, like I can enjoy the good path more. I don't even need to know the details of said bad path, just that the path I took is better and that the bad one is entirely and easily avoidable.Complaints about that choice, because a lot of people felt it was unnecessary and too cruel toward Lauren, of course the majority expressed their concern in a civil way, but I read there were some harsh words about that.
In a story that was pretty much positive ( despite some very serious points) like OIAL putting a scene like that was seen as a low blow, and I'm honest here, I was glad to know what to do beforehand and avoided that, because I don't like that type of event, even if they are meant as bad ends only.
I just don't like them at all, I already had some issues with the few darker games I play, I don't want to even hear something like that for games like OIAL, or Eternum.
Call me a softie but I really can't stand to see the characters suffer when I can avoid it, I leave certain types of games to those who find these themes interesting, when I play I want to only relax and play a great story with a " and they lived happily forever" ending if possible and nothing else.
I mean there's already the reality to make me depressed, I don't want to see that in my fantasy as well, thanks but no thanks.
Anyway I hope I clarified my point of view about the discussion, and why I don't like to see certain themes or endings in the games I play.
See ? Isn't it just better to enjoy the good path patting you on the head and smothering you in her chest when you know there's a bad path out there that can't reach you as long as you stay safe in the good path's arms ?
