Before I came to F95, I just considered swinging and sharing to be a thing some adult games had, but didn't realize how super sensitive people can be to it. I think that swinging and sharing can make for a better game IF it is written correctly and used correctly. It definitely has a lot of potential to be a more mature and complicated theme.

So here's the thing - I don't have any current plans to do swinging or sharing, but if I did include something like this, it would be sharing and it would be in the Bard or Druid route, because that's where it would make sense. However, if I ever did include sharing, there would always be a choice not to select it. If I'm designing HEROES OF CELTICA so players can make a virgin playthrough, then you will be able to play it and avoid any of the sex content, too.

In the Irish mythology, the women can sometimes be objects for the men, but also sometimes crafty free agents. Queen Maeve, one of the main characters of the Ulster Cycle of mythology talks to warriors she wants to recruit by offering "the friendship of my thighs". I thought that was a funny line.

How do you get the Forvorian wife ending?
Become the Crafter class (i.e. the route select "fail state") and choose to take Cloda as your wife.

So what's the deal with suspicion in the Druid route? Do I want to maximize it to be the comic evil mind-control villain or something?
As the game progresses, you will want to keep your suspicion under a certain threshold or your schemes will be discovered. There will be actions to increase suspicion and actions to decrease it.

When will 0.4 be released?
The releases roughly work in 6 week cycles, but I'm not setting hard dates. Making this game is a hobby for me and I'd hate to go to work to then come home and go to work again on Heroes of Celtica. Making the minor-updates slows down the progress on the next full release, but it helps to get more eyeballs looking at the game here and on places like Reddit. For the my highest patrons, v.0.4.0 would come out around mid-February, which would make it roughly late March for the public release.

That's the choice to not release her from her life-debt right? I've tried several combinations of choices leading up to that, but I haven't been able to get crafter after choosing it, always one of the actual classes

After all the modifications I made to the prologue for the class requirements, it may be impossible to get that ending now. However, it was possible to get that ending in the first version of the game.

NOTE - I've tinkered around and fixed it to make it possible again, but it's on v0.6.0 of the game, so there will be a wait. Basically, the act to bond her was reduced to 2 evil instead of 5. That means if you can keep good under 4 and evil under 1 when you make the decision to bond Cloda, you can get that ending. It will be very hard to get, though.

Dirks out! It's time for the Bard route of HEROES OF CELTICA to begin! Thank you for your patience!
But it's not just the Bard route starting that you get, but the darkening Druid route also continues.
Join me as we delve deeper into the myths and characters of Celtic Ireland,
and the return of a familiar face from the prologue!

You are 'the Scythian'
Not to be 'that guy' but I'm pretty sure Scythians and Celts never met each other irl in history. The Celts come from the British isles and the Scythians are from what is now Iran. Sure, the Scythians were nomadic but to my knowledge, they never entered western europe, at most eastern europe/russia.

Sorry, it's just my inner-historian that wanted to rant =P

Gonna try it out now ^^

Some foundational myth suggests the Scythians settled in Ireland, it's believed to this day to varying degrees, though far less. You're almost certainly correct, it's likely Christian revisionism. Just worth noting that it was written hundreds of years ago.

Scythians are the Irish Gaels also known as Milesians in Irish mythology
they are not Celt originally they come from modern day Russia and Ukraine

The Book of Invasions is a Christianizing of the early Irish founding tales, so we don't really know what is lost. In those stories, the original Children of Mil came from the east and got to Ireland through Spain, via a very circuitous route from Scythia. This may not be totally incorrect, as Europe is thought to have been first populated through Turkey and also through the Caucasus and the eastern steppes by nomadic peoples from the area that would later become known as Scythia by the historians of antiquity.

But the actual archeological and linguistic evidence of the Celts has come into doubt. For most of the 20th century, it was believed that the Urnfield and later Hallstatt cultures from central Europe spread across the continent to France, Spain, Britain and Ireland. This then became the La Tene culture, which are the Celts as we imagine them through Roman eyes. So the idea was proto-Celts radiating out from the Austrian region. But of course, the idea of a unified culture and language is also wrong, as there is plenty of evidence to suggest lots of variation in the areas where there were speakers of Celtic languages.

However, there is also a competing theory based on linguistics and archeology that suggests the Celts evolved from bronze aged proto cultures in the western Atlantic (including prehistoric Ireland), which then spread east into central Europe. The evidence used is linguistics but also the spread and decline of certain burial sites and artifacts with common characteristics (e.g. the Bell Beaker civilization).
