But still, i cannot tell you how much i DON'T want to see Leto have sex with Haylen...or even with Lily as a matter of fact, no matter what N_Taii cooks up for Haylen in the revenge ending it's going to be NOWHERE near as good as Aywin's ending where she becomes the like a personal whore for the King's (Noah's) personal guards, THAT'S revenge, fucking the woman who's in love with you is NOT. Haylen is a massive improvement in almost every conceivable way compared to Aywin but if i had to choose i'd still choose Aywin simply because she was Noah biological mother and hers was the only satisfying conclusion in the revenge ending of HC2, and not only that, but while it obviously makes sense for Haylen to agree without a second though to having sex with Leto, it goes completely against Leto's personality for him to fuck Haylen out of his own volition.
While I'm not vehemently against the very
thought of Leto ever having sex with Haylen in one of the endings, or in certain situations like the dream sequence we got in Update 15, I would be absolutely heartbroken if that wound up being her part of the Revenge ending instead of something closer to what happened with Aywin, because I feel like there is an important distinction between
power fantasy and
revenge, with the "Leto becomes evil and dominates all of the women into his personal harem" falling pretty firmly into the former. They're similar enough if you squint, but don't push quite the same buttons of appeal.
But on that last paragraph in particular,
I hope to god that whatever happens in HC4, if there's going to be a mother figure in it, that it's going to be a biological mother, not only because that way N_Taii CAN'T make the MC fuck her in the revenge ending because of Patreon's rules, but because a real mother NTR is objectively better than a step-mother NTR, and as a matter of fact i would also prefer if the MC's sister was a real sister as well like in HC1, but i don't see N_Taii making a game where 2 of the main heroines are related to the MC so THAT, i can live without, but for the love of god stop with the stepmothers...
I could not agree
more with this even if I was being paid a small fortune to. I feel like I must have said it at some point when Chapter 3's concept first came out, but between the two possibilities:
A.) having it be the character's actual mother like Aywin, without being able to have any sexual interactions with the protagonist, or
B.) having a motherly figure like Haylen with that door being open because they aren't actually blood-related,
The cost is simply too high for B to make the trade-off worth it in my eyes, especially when Chapter 3 hasn't played around with it at all until very recently. If that sexual tension was a major running theme throughout their relationship, I would at least be a little conflicted... but I don't know if one single sex dream from Haylen's POV out of 6-7 hours of content and a hypothetical harem ending where she has sex with Leto is enough to justify losing so much of the spice that made Aywin's corruption hit so unbelievably hard in Chapter 2.
I guess my overall point is that it feels like we haven't really gained anything tangible from Haylen being "downgraded" to an adoptive mother. It's baked into her character and the prologue at such a fundamental level that you could never change it without a pretty significant rewrite, but then Leto is still being written almost exactly the same as Noah was with Aywin (in terms of Patreon's content restrictions). That if we imagine some alternate reality where Haylen was written to be Leto's actual mother from the very beginning... how much content currently in the game would we actually have to lose? The one sex dream, maybe a few lines of dialogue from Haylen that hint at something, and if we're being extremely cautious, the scene where Leto accidentally walks in on her when she's undressed in the bathroom?
