I was questioning this whole corruption thing not because Bezvy is my favourite. I'm not even sure if I have favourites. Good characters are good and bad characters are bad at their things, it's not a competition after all. I was just trying to apply logic and info we already have about a character in discussion to assume the certainty of mentioned events and how much sense they make to me.
She wasn't as bad as many of the other guest characters, I maintain that she's one of the best for sure (don't agree she's better than the majority of the main cast, but to each their own) but her dialogue in the very beginning felt like something I'd read in an RP, and the attack on her lair by dragonslayers didn't add anything to the lore or depth to her character, it felt mostly like "look how strong I am".
I would contend nearly all of the content with the people from neutral territories is as bad/worse in terms of quality. They all come across as the generic antagonist tropes when we've actually encountered them, which given the past few pages of the thread delving into valid reasons why they'd hate giantess being discussed, its a bit disappointing we don't have any content exploring that. (Maybe Pyeka's path with taking back her Empire, (plausibly a neutral land now?) could be a way to delve into that).
).The neutral territories definitely are a bit lacking in the writing department, I wont disagree with that. That said, I was talking about just the giantesses, which there are none associated with neutral territory, and because of that it's unlikely we'll ever get a super deep dive into them, given that we only learn about places that have giantesses associated with them. I definitely agree that neutral territory should be expanded upon, because they drop hints that it's deeper than "here be people you can squish with impunity", most of all in Eliete's route with the guy- at least the way I interpreted it- so traumatized, so filled with (understandable) hatred towards giantesses due to their overwhelming might that leaves a grown man impotent and helpless in comparison that he just wails on her foot with a sword that can't hope to harm her, just to try to take some bit of power back. So long as no giantesses are associated with it though, I doubt it'll ever be developed too deeply.I would contend nearly all of the content with the people from neutral territories is as bad/worse in terms of quality.

But getting back to Seinaru in particular, I liked the very concept of her trying to help MC get somewhat stronger, at least in so far as a human is concerned. I think that's an angle to the entire game that is horribly missed out on, that even if the overall lore is MC is helpless vs fullsize (especially guardians), at least he could get to a state where an accidental stepping on him, or boobs swung into him by a giantess turning around while on a table wont kill him.
Perhaps the eventual path Val-Klis's route with potions will lead with MC being able to consume a potion/tonic to help his ability to survive, but in general that path being dropped really was disappointing for me personally, especially when I seemed to be the only subscriber back then who wanted to see more. (When I realized I spent more on this game in two years than I did on DLC for EU4 in 10....
the only giantess that i can recall that lives in the neutral territory is bel from guest characters so we should get to know how it is to live in neutral territorys in a couple of years after the main game is done
I agree. The whole concept of neutral territories must be clarified more than it is right now, and for that we need a bigger scale of how GG world works outside of kingdoms and nearby lands. Right now this territory appears to be extremely dangerous for someone who lacks any fighting skills: chaotic, torn apart by all those plunderers, giant demonesses and monsters. But the lore tells us that in environment where infrastructure bigger than a temporary camp will not stand for long, there are the whole criminal villages, which, for some reason, manage to be self sufficient, even hire mercenaries for protection. Existing like that in absolute anarchy doesn't make much sense to me. Perhaps the fact that neutral towns consist of mostly criminals only applies to towns close to kingdoms borders, which are perfect spots for plundering, illegal hunting and forming a black market, while more distant settlements upkeep their economy with farming, fishing, hunting, and trading with neighboring villages without all that close border turmoil.
Since it's a sponsor update it'll definitely be Bev, maybe Madea again, maybe Vai'klis.
IIRC Silver_crow117 was talking about Orphelith teaser, also Madea and Regina, but I'm not sure.
Unsure if a more recent version is out yet, I just saw Margarita update just now so not sure. Could be old.
