Only 2 solo saves for me. Gabby and Mason. The rest will just be friends. Although, I've lost touch with all the games that I play now. BG3 has occupied my brain since it released and I doubt I'll be playing anything else for the foreseeable future. Including Starfield, which I haven't even installed yet.
Hopelessly lost in Faerûn...
Don't send help....

He is already ending some of the rapists routes because of the amount of variables in the newest update. I don't think this is a feasible thing for Neon to add on top off all the possible routes and variations still in game.

One thing I would recommend for the newest update Neon, is adding something to the Risa scene (if you don't smoke with her). Obviously feet aren't for everyone (myself included), so I would suggest adding an option on top of the accept/refuse options. She says no sloppy seconds, so have Guy say something along the lines of how he isn't a feet guy, and ask for a handjob instead. Obviously you can just actually add that if you want, but assuming you don't, throw in another line of dialogue where she emphasizes the no sloppy seconds, as in she doesn't want her bare skin where another woman just was, hence the footjob. She's got socks on, so it's fine, but no skin to skin contact.
This will make the scene flow better as it isn't this awkward yes/no fetish prompt. It'll feel a bit more natural without actually having to add anything to the scene besides a couple dialogue windows. The added context would help a lot, especially since she sits on your lap if you have both lust points, so fetish only without any explanation/alternative is a bit odd. The alternative would of course be to just actually add a handjob. That would presumably come in either a hotfix or during the Chapter One remake.
Just a small suggestion from a guy who thought it was weird Guy couldn't at least ask for a handy instead, especially given your love for expansive options. Though I suppose this update did balloon and you were slave driving yourself to push it out by the end lol.

I don't think I ever published the uncensored version of this here, did I? This is one of the features I did for Wanton Weekends, my bi-weekly feature on Patreon/SubStar where I share naughty bits of art or story.
Yeahhhh, it's that last part that's the real sticking point. :'D If I had my druthers, every sex scene would have a dozen options, but I'd lose my mind sooner or later. :'D I saw the footjob as kind of a natural outcome of Risa lazily playing with MC's dick while stoned, and riding him as a further consequence of that. Like, she probably touched his dick accidentally at first, then on purpose, ad when she still didn't get a reaction decided to up the ante a bit. But, I don't intend to keep Risa lovers waiting too long for more content with her.

You can tell how dedicated Neon is to this game
The game has heart & soul imo
Also, I can't believe I did my waifu list and forgot Gabby she is number five on my list

Five people is too big for me. Guy will already have a really hard choice having to choose between Ashe, Nikki, Viola, Britanny and Mason.

So, NeonGhosts, I think I've completely finished the dark playthrough with Ashe and I've had time to think about it. Sorry for the big fat fucking wall, btw.. I really have mostly nothing but praise to give; loved the pill scene; loved all the different little branches of choice and the dialogue and reactions and narrative beats that resulted from them; they all felt special and unique in their own way.
Having said that, I do think I agree with others who have said the branching (for the dark route anyways) got a tad out of hand. I think I get where your heart was on this... I'm not a writer, but I think I've been in that situation where there's so many interesting possibilities that you creatively fall in love with, that it's hard to scrap one or synthesize two. But, I really do think it would've benefited both yourself and the players if you had streamlined a little.
I'm not sure if you're planning on making any changes or simply leaving it as is, but if the former, there's a few sequences that come to mind. For example: letting Ashe leave after dinner could've been meshed with apologizing in the hot tub, as for me, they felt very similar in vibes. I think I get why you logically separated them, though; letting her leave doesn't drastically change the dynamic and maintains her fear of you and is probably purely a move of caution for the MC; apologizing, however, completely changes the dynamic and instead makes her angry; but I'm still convinced it'd be better to just merge them. Whether that'd be moving the apology to post-dinner rather than the hot tub, or what, I don't know, but I feel it would've been the right thing.
You could've also done away with the option to rape her straight after dinner and instead forced the hot tub and then the rape since it's the exact same route if you choose to double-down on the abuse. Or, alternatively, you potentially could've just removed the sober rape entirely since it wasn't really a scene anyways and instead crowned the pill scene as 'the rape scene' (may have to change how the pills are obtained, not sure). This would keep the hot tub sequence purely as a branching point to either continue the abuse, albeit in a toned-down way, by toying with her and rubbing her nose in it (and that pissing part btw, good lord) leading to that beautifully horrible scene of the MC leaving her crying for 30 mins while he nonchalantly watches TV; or to attempt to apply the breaks and apologize, leading to that whole confused and angry reaction from her (with a hint of pity at the end, loved that, chef's kiss). I truly honestly think this would make Ashe's date so much cleaner from every perspective, but perhaps you don't agree.
Those are the main choices/scenes I can think of off the top of my head, but there may be others that could be shored up a little. For example, perhaps combine the OnlyFans & orc tv choices into one, since I fail to see the point in the orc choice remaining by itself, especially from a player's perspective; why skip opportunities with the girls for some monster girl scenes on TV? I'm of course completely open to the idea that the payoff of all these splits will more than make up for it, so maybe you can ignore this criticism. But from a player's perspective, it was honestly quite overwhelming.
Other than that, I think you forgot to branch the pill scene properly; if you give her pills, you have to calm her down in order for her to conk out and begin that scene. If you're instead mean to her, she acts as if you never gave the pills and it's impossible to start that sequence. And there's a few scenes here and there that are missing images, but I'm sure others have already bug reported them.
Anyways, thanks again for all your incredible hard work! I can't put into words how appreciative these milked gonads are, homie. I think I'm going to continue my good playthrough today; I look forward to reflecting on my thoughts about it here at a later time

Same tho I did play the evil path after I discovered it was in the game after my fist playthrough as I didn't have the patch at the time but after watching / reading the assault option for Niki I kinda skipped past any others that were similar I just wanted to see the content or if there was any consequences for the mc.

To your points about the wild branching in this one: totally agreed, I just went a little nuts with it. Part of the problem is that I didn't have all the content written or roadmapped before I began rendering it, so I was kind of driving the train while I was laying the tracks. Not the best way to do it, and for the next chapter I've written a pretty thorough roadmap for the update, with clearly defined possibilities.Those are the main choices/scenes I can think of off the top of my head, but there may be others that could be shored up a little.

As far as the choices for stuff like tv show vs the cam show, I actually floated an idea on Discord that people seemed kind of interested in. That being that each activity that the player does that night (sleeping with Ashe, watching TV, watching the cam show, playing with Risa..) would add an exhaustion point, and once an arbitrary number was reached, MC would basically fall asleep wherever he was.
So, he might have sex with Ashe (+1), watch TV (+1), watch the cam show (+1), and play with Risa (+1) -- then there'd be a check at the end of each scene, like "if exhaustion >= 4: MC automatically falls asleep," whether it's with Risa, Ashe, or on the couch. That way the player could get a few scenes, but not necessarily all of them. I dunno, I'd like to return to that, while also streamlining some things. For instance, I wanted to make it so that going to visit Nicki automatically triggered the Risa scene, too. Since you have to pass through the lobby and all. And the scene where Ashe is drugged should really have extra options to leave and see Risa, or watch TV. Etc.
The pill scene is actually intended to function that way, since Ashe doesn't get a chance to finish her wine if you berate her and force her to eat off the floor. And let me know which scenes are missing images actually, because I don't know if anyone else has reported them. :'D The other problem with having so many paths is that it's really easy to miss things like that, even with a legion of kind folks playtesting the builds.
As always, thanks for your thoughts, Phil! Glad you enjoyed the update, warts and all.

Speaking of which, how polyamorous can we be still getting a good ending in the end? Since it's not, at least judging by the tags, an harem game, will we be able to fuck ourselves dickles untill committing near the end or will there be conseguences if we don't go pretty much monogamous?
I ask because like Gaby and Ashe, and i think Nicki too speaks about being MC's GF, which presume it's not compatible to sleep with them all.
What are your plans?
