Yeah, good point. Better use the actual scene with "some time earlier" than just standing chibi (we got the glowing balls in Leto`s room anyway).A lot of letters from Bombadil

There was also this thing in HC2, i don't even really know what to call it to be honest, Feature ? Mechanic ? whatever, once i explain everybody will immediately know what i'm talking about. There was this thing in HC2 where if something sexual was happening in a room, and we had full control over Noah, then we were able to force a kind of perspective change by standing next to the door, and it would show 2 different maps right next to each other, one of them being the map where the sexual thing was happening, and the other one the map where Noah originally was, obviously.
Now i could be entirely wrong about this, but i don't remember a single instance of this happening in HC3, MAYBE there was 1 thing with Haylen in her room but even that's like a hunch at best. I guess the fact that almost every single Freeroam event can be interacted with is the reason why, but i kinda miss this feature from HC2. I remember there was a freeroam event for Haylen a while back where she was giving Jazon a blowjob on the second floor of the Church inside the kitchen, and it was not interactable whatsoever, the only way you could see it was if you were standing in front of the Church and you were watching it happen through the window. I don't know why but walking up to the kitchen door i was CONVINCED, that i would be able to force this perspective change and that i would be able to at least watch it from a bit closer than from outside of the window...but alas, nothing happened.
*Sigh* why stop there? We then dont know about amulets either, we would know nothing about anything, if we talking about ONLY MC POV. In that scenario the game would turn into the fucking mess and we HAVE to play game twice because we would lose 90% of the narrative and what actually happening in the world, because we only focusin on the MC and his surrounding. It is even worse at that point, because with your logic if we hear moaning and groaning, it can be heard by MC too, so if he is not an complete idiot, he would understand.the Duke and Rose are doing something with the amulets to power up the peacekeeper towers and that's all, with the moaning and groaning free roam scenes and Rose's guilty behaviour
Did you just purposefully ignore the sentence that started that paragraph or did you skim my post and just mash the comment button without thinking that maybe you should read the whole thing? I specifically stated that we shouldn't see scenes that are not important to the narrative... which means we would still be seeing all of the scenes that are important to the narrative, we just wouldn't be seeing the sex scenes. At this point in the game exactly zero sex scenes have been so important that we had no choice but to see them.*Sigh* why stop there?

Thats why all nitpicking and be "as real as possible" wont work in the games, movies and other fictional stuff, there must be assumptions one way or another, especially in NTR stuff.
Very good point. Its fine to have both, but from my side I also like just walking around and seeing lewd stuff happening, rather than having to press a button to see a scene. It should either be number 1 (because we dont have infinite dev time), or both, but having only 2 seems like a needlessly less good.I almost feel bad for saying this cause i'm usually pretty vocal about how interactive Freeroam events are infinitely better than simple Freeroam events that you can just...see, but i think that lately N_Taii has been going a bit overboard with them, and i don't mean quantity cause there's no such thing as too many freeroam events, i mean quality.
I first thought about this right after reading the post where N_Taii explained why the Updates have been taking longer lately and obviously the main reason in that post was that the quality of freeroam events have drastically increased over the years, to the point where they're more like smaller scenes rather than actual Freeroam events...and i think that is precisely what happened, for example the only difference between the actual scenes for Lily and the 2 freeroam events that were added in Update14, is that the location from where you can watch these scenes are different.
Now i obviously can't speak for everyone so i'm not saying that this is objectively bad, but for me freeroam events should not have to be triggered in order for us to see it and they most definitely should not end after we're done interacting with them...most of the time, i love the freeroam event where Haylen is having sex with Jazon in his room on a random morning and i wouldn't change anything about it, but it's a great example for what i'm saying, you can't see anything before OR after you interact with Haylen, only while the cutscene is happening, and as i said, i wouldn't change anything about this scene but the fact that more and more freeroam events are like this is something that i have a bone to pick with.
I'm at a point where i keep thinking about that one Freeroam event where Cyanna and Ulrod are having sex down at the docks in front of the warehouse and i'm almost like "i wish we had more freeroam events like this".
I'll give a better example of what i mean and how i would've preferred it instead: there is a new freeroam event for Lily where she's standing in front of the greenhouse just below Nezar's shop with those Heart icons above her head that indicates that there is something happening here, once you talk to Lily the scene starts, Nezar appears, Leto leaves, Lily and Nezar starts having sex, scene over, pretty straightforward, it's a good freeroam event don't get me wrong, but again, there is nothing happening BEFORE and AFTER you talk with Lily.
How I would've liked this scene more you ask ? Easy, the EXACT same thing but instead of Lily standing in front of the greenhouse, she's already having sex with Nezar inside, and you can only interact with those Heart icons on the ground, and once you do, the screen goes black and it says "15 MINUTES EARLIER", and THEN the exact same cutscene starts playing as the one we already have.

As i said at the beginning, i've been thinking about this ever since that post was made on Patreon right after Update14's first release, but i didn't want to write it down cause i knew that it would be a really long post and i was just too lazy to bother (and as i'm looking at it right now, it seems i was spot on unfortunately), however this week's PoL was released 2 days ago, and N_Taii ended the post by saying this:

This was what actually made me want to write this monstrosity down, i don't know exacly what i'm expecting from all of this, but maybe this will somehow snowball into a discussion or whatever. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (hopefully more than 2 people will bother reading it lmao)
send ithm... at the end of my save (update 13) it goes into main menu
