Had some free time this weekend so finally got all caught up.

It was a fun ride. Weird way to end it, but that's life I suppose. Looking forward to Cardibis' next project.

Jokes aside I am continually impressed with the quality of his content.

I wonder if Caribdis plans how many sex scenes each update gets or if those are entirely dependent on the story plans.

Likely the former, though from my understanding he likely has a bucket list of scenes that he jots down and leaves to percolate until its time to decide what to use. Keeps things fresh and gives him a bit of elbow room in case he needs to improvise.

Also helps that the main story beats are done from start to finish and are jotted down as milestones so he has a bit of extra freedom in deciding when an event happens. For instance, the cliffhanger this update was meant to happen in 0.8. But given that he wanted the pirate event to be cooked a bit more, he moved it to this update instead.

Not to mention if 0.8 ends up being the Christmas update I feel like it's in poor taste for Orion to get shot during a Christmas Ski Trip, especially if Idriel's dialogue remains unchanged.

"You've been drunk on the pleasures of life, Orion. Maybe too much."

"Lady, it's Christmas. What the fuck do you want me to do?"

He's supposed to care. Problem is when you consider that he's taking William's revelations and the findings from Ekabar into account, coupled with his growing complacency due to his "wins," his growing powers, and how he easily scores with the LI's, and it pretty much doesn't come as a surprise that he would act like how he acted this patch (that being a person who's willing to be a lot more "rapey" and more focused on the gem hunt to the point that he disregards his harem's feelings or become a lot more vocal with his irritation towards people like Chop Chop). Simply put, he basically acted less like Orion Richards and more like his mythological namesake...up until he gets his comeuppance by the end of this patch.

Stacking up wins doesn't naturally make someone prone to sexual assault. If this is truly a core belief of yours, then I don't know what to tell you.

It enabled his thinking that he can pretty much do anything and "win," which pretty much lines up to why he got shot by the end of the patch. Doesn't help that Penny got turned on by that stunt instead of reprimanding Orion for it.

Also, stacking up wins doesn't naturally make someone suddenly indifferent about a date and likely sexy times that they were looking forward to a matter of hours ago. I mean, is this guy a horndog or isn't he? You seem to be arguing both sides of this depending on how it suits you at the moment.[

The man got handed a time limit to a quest by someone who's been giving them the slip for a while. Given Orion's behavior this patch (plus the compounded annoyance that he felt for El Coyote), he likely took that as a challenge before Nan made him realize that he got tunnel vision for it.

Also, if you checked the screenies I've posted, Orion basically outlined 2 goals for his Kredon trip: a) getting laid, and b) making a name for himself. So no, I'm not arguing both sides when it suits me when it's Orion himself who had wanted both since the beginning. And winning El Coyote's challenge and putting the gem hunt as priority is basically in service to goal no. 2. It's also why he got weirdly invested when the people at the tavern started talking about his alias and if someone like him could stand against Wyatt.

The callousness to Nova and their date also seems out of character given that the MC has been growing closer and more invested in the girls as the game progresses, not less. There has been no build up of scenes where the MC grows more distant or more removed from the girls and their feelings. Quite the opposite, there has been a steady build up of him being more invested in them. Hence, the callous moment with Nova is jarring.

Again, time limit (and getting tunnel vision for it).
