I can't seem to ever trigger Dug and Brul waking me up for it.It does bother me that, since I've been a subscriber, I've been far more reluctant to leak actual updates themselves. Mind you I haven't before and the one time I was going to - think it might have been 12.0 or something - someone beat me to the punch. In this instance, I wouldn't mind doing it, though I'll personally wait until the full 13.x is out (in a week or two, just with the full content) before doing so. To be clear this isn't out of malice or some sort of knobbish internet superiority, but I object on a... professional? level?... to games being released episodically. I'd want all of you to get the whole thing all at once.
Most certainly for professionally developed games, but even in sex games (I'm not sure what the umbrella term may be), I'm of the camp - and have always been of the camp - that an update should have a couple of things to do, with the grand exception of some game that people enjoyed that was updated on a weekly basis. Even fortnightly is too long in my mind: for one half of the month it's 'Jim get's surprised in the shower', then for the other half it's 'Sharon get's fingered on the bus (to school)'.
Other than finishing the new content in a wank or two (repeats not counted), the name of the update would sort of give it away, but again I like a but of mystery and surprise: even in the 12-12.4 of KoD, sure there was Ornshakar stuff, Amelia and the gang stuff, Vehlis and camp things, but y'know what I'm pretty sure was never mentioned (outright)? Tekrok's ally (Gul isn't quite right) coming in for a shag. Was it mentioned that Sabia-Tekrok players would have an alternate start? Yes. Did it ever get stated what it was? No. Even convincing the 'magic orc' ("Guy's got magic cards... and magic hands!"), that wasn't in the gallery but an incredibly welcome scene. So when I see 'oh, this is the Yvla quest', regardless of what is or isn't in the update, my brain just goes 'yep'. 'That's it'. And it puts me in a minor funk to the extent that I don't even get pleasantly surprised when there are other scenes, just a sense of relief. "Phew! I'm glad there's something else."
I probably went off on a tangent there, but if you need any assistant getting on The Path, I'd be glad to help another acolyte. I'd firstly ask if you're using any mods on the game in general: I don't know what ones there are, but it seems to be something you can do. Then I'd just say that for the first ritual you have to actively avoid: allying with the shaman puts you onto the route where you 'become the receptacle' (wow that just became incredibly unsexy to me), and the second... just happens? You've woken one morning by Brug and Dul (hope I got their names right) which leads to the upside-down anal scene (apologies if that spoils it for anyone)... but I'm not sure what the requisites are / may be. I usually sleep between most scenes so it resets or progresses if need be.
If you need any help at all, please feel free to ask here or send me a message, and I hope you enjoy the update when you get it. I also hope I enjoy it when I get to it - wanked meself silly while it downloaded, and I should probably be doing that schoolwork...
But also- I respect what you said overall. I do think the games overall potential lay in Sabia's strength as a character to "deceive"
I think that any route where she becomes "a receptacle" should include a path or option to turn it on it's head even thought it was a bar scene buzzkill (as in maybe it should've been less streamlined)
But I hope you see where I'm going with that.
I was drawn to the game originally bc the first pics were of "the horned god's night" and seeing Sabia all done up (even though that's for the now defunct dajrab route) got me hot blooded.
I love all the ritual shit, objectification, and I think her learning about orcish ways by uh trial and error is a good move. But with the nature of the game should have some options as to how to engage in it.
