If I can be frank, I am not big on the nothing is forever hype train. It is very well written, in many ways too well written. The thing is the dev writing it writes from a very realistic approach and a lot of scenarios are grounded into a proper build up and approach that encompasses a lot of safe practices people need to do IRL.
The issue I have is I play games to get away from that reality, I don't want that amount of realism when I just want to fish around in kinks and desires. Unfortunately, many games do cross the line and go from kinky/hot fantasy to just straight abuse, and the novelty in NiF lies in that its a far healthier approach and well grounded in its realism.
It's damn hard to find a nice balance between the two though. For instance, I love the idea of watersports and even scat in a fantasy setting can be hot, but to practice it in reality is just a huge no. The way NiF is written addresses consent and lot of things in a healthy manner, but I am not looking for realistic safe practices when I am playing a game.
I think NiF is a perfect game for people who can't distinguish fantasy and reality and need to understand how healthy normal relationships work and how to discuss and communicate with your partner. For a kinky fantasy game though, its quite dull and misses the mark there.
A lot of games miss the mark to be honest, or I'm just too picky. There is a lot of things I find hot in games but its obviously bad if not outright illegal from a realism point of view.
I personally want to see a game that isn't rooted in a matriarch society where the femdom goes hard but from a place of "this is because its wanted" not as a form of abuse/punishment (most egregious sinners among this is the femdom games that require you to lose to get that kind of content, because its a "fail").
I don't know how to express this clearly since I have had this conversation I think many times but I just can't communicate it well. I think femdom comes from the female in charge and catering to what SHE wants, and with the domme taking responsibility of you giving over that trust means that she will also be aware and think of what makes you happy as well. Be it selfish, abusive, humiliating, kinky, whatever else, so long as it comes from mutal attraction and/or love that all parties are on board with, and that is understood by the nature of playing the game, not having a full break down of consent and discussion of what is the do's and don'ts of the relationship.
