^ This. I agree with this completely. I wish Hreinn Games put a little more effort into KoD given the amount of time they've been working on it between updates. For me, there's a reason why I sit on KoD for several updates before jumping back in (outside of time constraints) -- so that there's a bit more meat on the plate while squashing a few bugs that might've popped up in the meantime.I'm asking for [Monsinne] to put a bit more thought into the scenarios. It's clear that he has to work with certain constraints and Nomo probably isn't willing to do completely different scenes depending on what path the player follows. However, better plotting costs nothing but a little time and inspiration.
I've had this exact thought a few times as well. ^^" Sometimes it seems like the team is inspired and put out decent enough content, and at other times it feels like they're just fumbling around and half-assing things. I get that they have their own lives, jobs, and other life challenges, but on some of these updates we've all had that thought "Come on, really? Do better." I just hope we'll see more of Sabia's indomitable will to survive and the wherewithal to carry out plans in pursuit of her vengeance despite everything thrown at her and any obstacles that continues to stand in her way regardless of her personality stats.Too much of KoD now feels like they went with the first ideas they got and the dialogue also seems like a first draft. And that's pretty disappointing, given how much time they have between updates.
The team has definitely skewed into exploring more of the submissive side and the captains lately feel more like an afterthought. Also as far as I know, Hreinn Games haven't capitalized on the whole "freedom-slavery" and "dom-sub" scale without it all feeling watered down to the same basic conclusion. Reminds of a quote... moment...
Still can't shake that same feeling even after all this time....a general narrative of a dominant Sabia using sex as a means to an end and using the desires of those around her against them, but playing the dominant route now is mostly just going around and just occasionally, almost randomly, having sex with something that came up, which ends up feeling jarring...
Here I'll actually compliment Monsinne on keeping Neve and Sabia's relationship fun in the way Sierra set up.
Alrighty all, be safe and happy gaming! Cheers!
