Yeah I agree. Having multiple endings to a route is nice because you get to see more out of each character and get more varied scenes that way. Bad endings in general are a great mechanic because you can add content you otherwise couldn't. I just like the happily ever after endings for the warm and fuzzies myself, but any Renee route could really only have one happy ending with a hundred bad ones if you mess up even once.I think the Claudia route had a really good version of a bad route where it's a prolonged story line. I think Renee could have that.
Good route, you get her to learn to trust another male and all that jazz.
Bad route, you do something that makes her insecure, so as she's beginning to feel affection for you, she can't trust you and spirals negatively. Nothing you do can ease her insecurity, but since she wants to have you she gets abusive.
I think people complained about the valentines route mostly because of NTR. Also there was no alternate route that let the MC be dominated. Just discarded. The Claudia route have a bad end that wasn't complained about nearly as much, if at all.
The non redemption arcs like Rye's bad ends, are still in the context of a story where Rye had a redemption arc. Where a given futa starts out hostile and is secretly warm and fuzzy if you just dig deep enough and earn her trust. I want the non-redemption arc to be more than a bad decision that ends the game after one scene.
And yeah, I agree the maledom has to be kept to a minimum. But I just hope it happens fully at least once. Not just male-on-futa, but male-dominating-futa. It becomes deliciously taboo in the context of this game's world.
I can understand wanting non-redemption routes too given the context of the game and the fact that it's called Futadomworld for a reason and that why we're here. The bad ends as nice as they are tend to feel unfulfilling because of how short most of them are. I feel like they missed an opportunity in Rye's route where Renee asks if you want to have sex right there in the hallway. That could be a great bad end where Rye find Renee plowing you on the kitchen table almost like with Danny back in the day.
Also it's kind of funny to me that a bunch of people into the futadom setting and the whole world the game made all hate NTR. Weird how that works.
