First, thanks for the response, and I agree I did come off somewhat harsher than I intended, but I stand by all my points. There's no defiance in the MC, no refusal to comply with his abductors, and my annoyance stems from the fact you actually could in the beginning. when they first appear in your room you get two choices where you can pick 'resist' and I thought great, I'll go the defiance route first time through, then circle back and choose the pussy option later to see what's different.Dude, relax, there are tons of options in the game. Just install URM and enjoy the game. By the way, this bitch can be put in her place if the MC makes the right choice and chooses the Dom route.
She can also be punished and humiliated pretty harshly and roughly, but that will happen near the end of the current update (and there are a few options in this event - a little more gentle and or more harsh actions towards her). That's also where it will be revealed why she's trying to portray herself as a dominatrix bitch. Actually, appearances are a bit deceiving, but I won't spoiler.
In any case, the game is beautiful, and all the variables and flags responsible for one choice or another work as they should and really affect the story. Just because you didn't notice them doesn't mean they aren't there. In general, put URM and you'll be happy.
And, by the way, the game will explain in detail why the MC should try to save the world rather than run shamefully back to mommy. Just play and you'll get answers to all your questions. And yes, MC will be able to send a message to her that he's okay. Though I have a suspicion that we'll see her in person in a future update. Anyway, don't stir up drama for nothing, everything will be fine in this game.
But there is no defiance route. those were the only times you could say no to these people, other than refusing to call her 'mistress', but as I said in OP, even that gets taken away from you with no choice.
and as I said , its so simple to fix. even if you don't want to go down the 'shock collar' option, just say the portal needs to recharge for 17 days or whatever. we cant send you home yet even if we wanted to.
Just something. some reason why you would go along with these people. Hell, even an internal monologue 'ok, I'll go along with it for now but I'll be looking for a way out or a weapon every chance I get'.
And I know you said it gets explained later and there's a good reason to help, but that's missing the point. I (MC) don't CARE about their world or their problems. I haven't been given a reason to care. They abducted me from my, admittedly boring life for their own nefarious purposes. WHY they did it is irrelevant at this point. MC's ONLY focus at the beginning should be to find a way back.
I'm genuinely not trying to start an argument, and the reason I care is because as I said this is a great premise and setting, the models look really good, and there's lots of opportunity for character development. I really wanted to like this game, but the character is being driven by the story, when should be the other way around. The protagonist should be driving the story forward by the choices being made. you can still do the exposition dumps, but it should be on your terms. this is why its bad writing. everything is happening because the plot needs it to happen, instead of arriving there organically
Oh, and as an aside, anyone who says 'install a mod and its great', you're agreeing with me. If a game needs a mod, its a bad game. end of story.
