I've made a new save path with a storyline that allows Kane to be enough of a bad boy to use Amara (Kwame's wife) along with Dominique... Thanks for the idea and path outline, Mav. Now, I have to say, honestly... meh... I guess I'm too much of a romantic to enjoy inflicting pain on others for enjoyment. It just doesn't do it for me. However, it highlights how well written the various paths are and how many different and somewhat unique stories can be rolled into one. I lost a few things I liked... A more loving and attentive Dominique and the chance to save Nurse Reyes. I gained some things I didn't anticipate... The chance to see Juliette at her worst and a sponsorship I never wanted. Surprisingly, it was actually easy to keep Kane more good than bad. I think I ended Season 1 with 20+ good pts and a dozen or so bad pts. Kane did some shitty things and witnessed some really fucked up stuff. In this version I will have to push Veronica up to #1 sister. It looks like Dominique is just too damaged to salvage... *sigh* Kane may be a better fit for Angelica down the line according to some of what I read in the thread... we'll see... Dunno if I will feel it was worth it. All in all I'm glad I did this version of the story just to see it. It is well written, as I have said, and seems like a plausable path. I will still never see the sub paths though... It's just not my cup of tea. No judgement. I'm certain they are just as well written and satisfying for those who enjoy those fetishes.

So, for me, it's back to the story as I envision it... Paladin Kane. I have gained a bit more tolerance for the "dark side" and a greater appreciation of Tess. Thanks, Tess, for making the effort ito tell a great tale while allowing so many real choices in how it plays out.

Well, you are certainly worthy of respect. And you're probably not the only one who decided to become a White paladin KaneDom, it seems MilesEdgeworth also chose the path of the perfect warrior of light (let him correct me if I'm wrong). OFC, I have that save as well, but it ranks somewhere in 2nd place for me after the main "Gray" KaneDom (kind, with a moral compass but few points of evil.)

As for Dominique, she's actually that rare person that we can really make a big impact on.. I'm sure you know how to do that, and it would result in a very different scene in her underground house, and she wouldn't go down a dark path...(well, or won't tell us about it, hehe ;) )...Personally, I like both of her personalities, but I respect you for your choices.

Elena is quite elegant, although I don't know how she'll end up, you know she's become softer since she's been with her daughter.

It sure seems so, as of now but remembering Tess`s written walkthrough for chapter 4



Olivia End:
Major Choice possible: Nothing about Olivia is irreversible yet, but this is actually
a possible huge choice for Elena moving forward. Her narrative arc and what she does
in game could be hard to change in the future if Olivia commits a certain way.

“I think I’d want to try and use the company to improve the world somehow…”
Elenagood +3 (can open up Elena redemption arc)
Sister Good +3
Sister Trust Elena +1

“No use lying about it...I want and crave more power...even curious...sadistic…”
Elenaevil +10 (can open very evil tag team path)
(warning: some of darkest paths will be with evil Elena)



So, keeping my fingers crossed.

Yeah, Elena and Other characters such as Claudia will be affected by the actions of Olivia, specifically if she's Evil (demoness) or good! If Olivia's turns Demoness, Her faction will be filled with more evil characters, and if good, it'll be filled with good chracters! which obviously will affect Kane as well if you decide to join her faction!

I would say (but again, like in another VN thread maybe I'm giving folk far too much credit) that that would be a given, especially given the world they occupy.

At the end of the day, everyone looking out for themselves.

Juliette “Romancing” a sub Kane would be a given to you?

Why Romance any of the characters when You can Dominate them :devilish:
Click to expand...
I think, in the realities of KG, this question should be “Why would we, elite sadistic bitches, romance KaneSub when we can just dominate him?";)

With KaneDom dominance over the female characters, as you can probably guess, it's not all that obvious...And unless you count the Wpod slave girls, who are formally subordinate to KaneDom, but have completely different masters (and some female JF staff with the same situation), everything about the key important LI so far looks like a more or less equal relationship.

So, you're ahead of us. You have KaneSub crawling on the floor and may soon be able to participate in slave competitions in speedy movement on 4 limbs (hehe), while our upright KaneDom is still far from the situation when his sub females (really submissive, not because they were ordered so from above) will crawl around him 24/7 and fulfill all his commands and desires.

Not only is it not a given, but until now I thought it was impossible :oops:.

Again..no that isn't a given (and would be amazed if Tess implements it). I was referring to the bulk of her post....that in the world of KG, anyone should take it it as a given that everyone is looking out for number one.

So Alessa solo wont romance dom Kane, but will together with Celeste?
Click to expand...
Celeste/Alessa is classed as 'other romance'...ie...it's not a romance. You're all fuckbudies. Alessa 'will' romance a DomKane that is submissive sexually...known as the SecretSub Path. If you do not go down the SS path with her then no, she will not romance an assertive Kane, only SubKane on the SubPath which is a 'Sub' Romance because has to always be in control/charge. it's her personality...like Jules will not romance a good Kane, Delilah will not romance a good characters, Junko won't romance evil etc.

Why is that impossible? Juliette can gently and romantically throw you into a cage of lions or, smiling sweetly and sighing languidly, order her slave to throw Kane overboard on a yacht..:KEK:

It’s not impossible my friend! She went more in depth with it!

That doesn't sound very romantic :LUL:.

I am really surprised, I thought a romance with the beautiful snake was impossible, I mean I thought Sub Kane would end up dead or as a dog near Jules and a Dom Kane would execute her or treat her very badly, far from romantic.
