Alright, I've now finished every playthrough (6 of the 7) that I'm willing to do for this update. I'll do the Cass Death on the White Path next update or close to it's release since I don't have my old saves for it and 1.0 is going to be huge. Also because I've played nothing but this game non stop in the past 2 days now and I'm already starting to feel that little thumping inside my head when I read some text lol. Anyway, I won't bother listing the builds of the other 4 playthroughs. Don't need this to turn into an even larger wall of text. I'll do it at 1.0 though.
- My favorite scene of the update is hands down Warrior MC killing dozens of men. The slaughter was just so good. Mage and Bookworm slacking a lot. Like, Mage MC has some form of Tk that he used on Val and the Peasant but didn't use it to make some of the rebels kill themselves or their swords pivot into their allies? Even if he's not good at magic, that ability used in short burst would've did well in combat. Bookworm Elis, nothing to say. His only job is to rizz vampires and spit game with his elven language. Anything other than him using his big brain is asking too much.
- Which faction I liked siding with the most? After all of these playthroughs, the Nobles. Personally, I think they're better than Rebels and the whole Black Scythe side Cass was doing. The noble side is a bunch of old, but familiar dudes that aren't too far from their deathbed and getting them to be loyal seems smarter. Making it easier for MC to control the remaining younger members of their faction when the old heads die in a decade or so. Especially with Lockhart and Valerian in those high positions next lol. So for me, killing off their younger, more rebellious generation while they're in the wrong is better than letting them grow stronger over time and being a potential issue. Also, because I don't like the Elves using them to get an upper hand behind the scenes. As for which one was awful. That was the pacifist path with Catalina. Jeez, did I not like that one. Rebels path was alright, but it doesn't really work on any of my routes with what I like to do. If further scenes with Josephine require that path then I'll do it.
- Best sex scene of the update? I actually didn't like Elin scenes all that much. Both of her lust and love scenes felt like something that should've happened already and was almost predictable in how it would happen. I wouldn't say it was disappointing, but it's definitely not as hot after such the wait it took to get to that point. Legit was more turned on by her BJ when Elis dominated her. That likely speaks more of me than the scene quality though. So with Elin eliminated, that leaves Seraphina vs Cass vs Valeria. Cass gets eliminated immediately, but her scene was better than Elin. So with the sisters out of the run, that leaves the milfs. And I would say Valeria edges Seraphina. Largely because a handy isn't as hot when you got a thighjob several scenes prior to it. The assjob however was hot and what nearly put her over Valeria but I have to give it to her. Who said you have to conquer the west by force or with politics when you can just breed all of their noble women instead.
So that's pretty much my last remaining thoughts on the update. Next update is going to be a hell of time with all of these pregnancies showing up. Assuming they all counted at the time. One of my Elis got at least 10 pregnant women or close to it. Assuming they all were impregnated on that same playthrough. Those women being Rosa, Forest Nymph, Spring, Val, Aurora, Lia, Maya, Lydia, Valeria, Josephine and Elin. Forest Nymph and Lydia might not be on the same path and I don't remember if Josephine or Lia actually got pregnant so the number could be a bit below 10. We'll see.
