I can no longer read Kuei-Jin without getting angry, LAKueiJin you remind me of the traitorous rat Ming Xiao :FacePalm:. No offence to you.

"None taken, neonate! One cannot expect reactions other than blind anger and emotional outrage from... your kind. Now excuse me, Cainite, for I, the Jade mistress of many faces, shall take my rightful place atop the Ivory tower! In the mean time I invite you, my naive champion, to take a nice maritime holiday in Santa Monica Bay with the Ankaran Sarcophagus!" - that's Mistress Ming Xiao sending her regards to you as she takes over LA ;)

Anyway, nice to meet a fellow "kindred" (eg Vampire: the Masquerade fan) over here! Kinda fun that with all the dark themes, vampires, werewolves and apocalyptic prohecies in the world of darkness, I always found it a more warm and less dystopian setting than the capitalist nightmare Tess has weaved in Karlssson's gambit! :LOL:

Think about it though - Kane's name alludes to one of two things. Either a cane/walking stick, suggesting Olivia might give him the Harry treatment or, you know, his cursed-to-never-win-any-trophy footballer namesake. Also, foot+ball = ballbusting! The stars align, and they all seem to suggest it's little slave Kane that's in for a spanking/ballbusting by Goddess Olivia, not the other way around! :LOL::sneaky:

Are you doubting Tess? Personally, I don't. Tess has always been consistent and done what she promised/announced... And as for the references in the MC's name, I think that the name Kane refers us to the biblical name Cain (yes, the same one who killed his brother Abel).

Where did I doubt her? I merely said she already wrote several paths where Kane is utterly humiliated and trampled under Olivia's heels (in the existing content) - I don't even care for one path where the opposite happens in the future. As for the name being a reference to "Cain", fair enough, that's one interpretation. It's nowhere near as fun as my jab at Harry Kane and Spurs but, fine, go ahead and ruin the joke! :LOL:

Do keep in mind though that Cain got punished by God for killing his brother, so that might still spell a ghastly K1 future for poor MC, where the Satan that's gonna torture him for eternity is probably guard Samantha... :sneaky: (yeah, i know Cain actually got punished with exile, nothing as drastic as being sent to hell, which a K1 ranking is pretty much the equivalent of, but Tess is God in her own game universe, so who knows how she'll punish him?)

At the end of the day I don't care if Kane gets to dom Olivia on one path, as my Kane will always be a slave to either her, Alessandra, Dominique or Juliette when I'm feeling spicy, but no I never said anywhere in this comment chain that I don't think Tess will deliver on that promise.

Is because the World of Darkness is naturalised and you can never really get out of it, so everything else seems more dystopian. And yes, for the time being, I've left aside the games with complex mechanics and lots of action and reaction and am relaxing in the world of adult visual novels that I've stumbled upon, looking for something beyond the vanilla content that no longer produces anything for me :whistle::coffee:.

You grow up and search the difference between canon and non canon, it's never possible for any creator to say, there are more than 1 outcomes to their single story in the same timeline without creating controversy among their fans, especially when their is a sequel planned from the same story/universe. Even if Dev hides some details while showing others like jacoyboy said here:

It wouldn't be possible in a clean way, I bet it'll turn messy.

Can you give any examples where writters did this without controversy like in any any other AVN or movie industry?

Btw thanks for being civil and not giving any irrelevant comments like some people do here.

I didn't explain myself very well... it wouldn't be about hiding anything... okay I think it's easier if I give an example, 'cause I kinda suck at explaining stuff.

So, take a look at what The Unbroken did in regards to The Author... the game starts and as soon as the MC from the Author is brought in, the player gets to choose which LI he'll be appearing with... if you haven't played the Author, it doesn't really matter, but if you did, you can choose your chosen LI... but in the end, the choice doesn't really matter because it's just a cameo of sorts and the choice has no impact on the overall stroy of the game.

The point is, for Unbroken, the "canon" part about the Author is that the MC ended up resolving his issues and ended up with a LI, but the specific LI isn't really all that important.

So you could do something similar for K'sG & a potential sequel, where the sequel starts and you either let the player choose if Kane was dom/sub or good/evil, and even choose who he ended up knocking up at the start of the game, because the only important "canon" or necessary part would just be that Kane & one of the sisters had a child and that whatever will happen at the end of the game happened.

Or the dev could just bursh past the details and simply establish that "the child was born of Kane and the Karlsson girl", for example. You don't really need to get into details whether Kane chose which girl or he was forced into slavery and milked of his sperm or any of that...

Of course, all of that will depend on what the sequel even is about, and what happens in the game... but yeah, that's what I meant, generally speaking.

Same for me mostly, as I'm not really playing anything except a couple relaxing survival games and adult VNs/RPGs these days. Except for the "moving away" from vanilla content part, as I was only into femdom since I was 14 or something, so I've never even tried any vanilla porn games! :LOL: I will probably retunr to complex RPGs once Bloodlines 2 comes out, but I'm not exactly holding my breath for it being even half as "good" as the original VtmB. I am actually from Transylvania IRL (as in, I was born in a small town in the Carpathian mountains of Transylvania), and my "Dracula Sense" :devilish: tells me that it's not going to live up to its predecesor... :cry: I hope it proves me wrong in the end.

I don't take dominant Kane for the "hero of the people" anti-tyranny revolutionary type tbf, so I'm not quite sure what you're on about here. The guillotine also fell down on Louis XVI, not just Marie Antoinette, and so it did on wannabe revolutionary Robespierre a couple years later so, you know, be careful what you ask for! ;) Commies like myself wouldn't mind a secret "good ending" where the k1-3s in the mines all rise up and guillotine the karlsson board decadent bourgeoisie to establish some direct democratic commune of the people, :LOL: but that also includes getting rid of all the male doms, you know?

Also, while Tess has indicated Dark Quean Olivia might end up subservient to Kane in that post that you linked, Kane has already ended up at the feet of his rightful cruel Mistress on... close to half the existent paths, so you're a bit like a guy celebrating his team's goal in a match they lost 5-1 over here... Femdom reigns supreme over the Karlssonverse! :cool:
Click to expand...
Femdom in KG is artificial construct and fanservice, and only the dominant Kane will have the ultimate victory by winning the Gambit. And a pathetic worm KaneSub with a cage on his dick, kissing heels of sadistic women and taking a strapon up his arse will never be the rightful Master of the Empire. It's as obvious as the change of day and night. Besides, Alexander has made it clear that his Empire can only be claimed by a truly strong-willed, intelligent and tough man who will gnaw his way to the top with his teeth, as Alexander himself once did. And losers have no place here.

We can argue about what the canon ending of the game will be, which will be taken as the basis for the next Tess game (yes, we'll be choosing from several final states of the KG world there, but a global canonical version of how Gambit ended should still be there(imo)... but the fact that the only person who can win in Gambit is the one who surpasses Alexander (in strength, brutality, intelligence, dodginess) is not even up for debate. Which means that it will be KaneDom and Olivia (if we want) who will ascend to the throne, eliminating all other contenders.

Okay, I'll be honest. Olivia is beautiful, but so is Angelica. And in all of my playthroughs, Olivia is the main LI for my KaneDom..So girl, you can rest easy, your little "brother" will never leave you and there will be a place for you on Kane's daddy's lap. At least I'll give you some pillows so you don't freeze your sexy ass off sitting on the marble floor at the feet of Kane sitting on the throne.. ;)
