And, finally--digressing even further--I would love it if NPCs had memory. Referencing or discussing previous interactions independently, reminiscing, etc.
I suppose that all of these points, stats for loyalty, jealousy, a memory system, etc., just illustrates that there's room for growth in immersive NPC behavior.
About the stats you mentioned (jealousy, possessiveness, etc), I think they can be achieved with the current stats.
It's just a matter of being creative with code (which, unfortunately, it has been the case lately with scenes. Sorry Vin, but is true).
What we really need, is to have stats to separate kinks.
A stat for bestiality, another for group sex, etc etc.
Perversion doesn't handle them separatedly, and no matter how much of a pervert someone is, there are some things it will never do (for example, as much as a fucking perv I am, scat is absolutely out of the question -as well as others-).
Unfortunately, disabling the kink folder is not a solution, it removes a lot of content. Personally, as much as I don't like golden showers, I won't mind other NPCs having the kink.
Going to a job interview. I'm naked apparently.
initiating sex with someone, another character turns up.
Sometimes i have sex in the air.
I'm literally a sadist. But "Your character will not like that" when going for rough.
Raping someone (The one being raped loves it)
Raping someone (The one being raped is too tired)
The bartender, whom i want to spike, is also the bartender suggesting me to spike the drink.
-You're lacking office/formal clothes.
-Mixed up scene indeed.
-It's always like that. It's made to load faster, and so you can move the actors around to the exact place you want.
-It's two different stats. Likes rough means you'll go faster and harder, need to increase that stat.
-So? If the other is a masochist, it will enjoy it.
-The other has low energy, and sex stops. Is a mechanic so the scenes have some limits.
-So?? Just as you think on spiking the bartender, it doesn't means he doesn't thinks about it too (besides, I guess it could be really hard to spike the drink of someone working serving said drinks)
Is this a game where bugs are fixed over time, or should I just accept it as it is? I've been making a list of wonky things under the assumption that if i post them, whoever makes the game will take note and fix them at some point.
Welcome!
The game gets updated fairly often, and bugs are, more or less, fixed. Sometimes lol
Bar: Often, when i do a task (like a quest - "searching for william") a task bar appears over the map in the bottom right corner of the screen and slowly progresses. But then, I'll have a sudden event (example: sister is good at music and wants to help me be better) and once that event is over, my task bar stops - no more quest progress. So I have to re-start the quest from the beginning - and even then, a new event might pop up and stop my bar progress again. So, my question: Is there a way to get the bar moving again without re-starting the quest?
I had the same "problem" when started playing. It's not a bug or problem:
You have the game set on "pause" when an event pops in. You can disable the option on settings (I think).
Personally I leave it like that, and when the event scene ends, you just press "spacebar" to ressume the interrupted task.
You can also "pause" purposedly a task the same way.
For example, you go to sleep (which will take several hours) and you can pause (spacebar) to do anything else (which of course will end the sleeping task).
In your example:
after sister event, just hit "spacebar" to keep completing the task.
Bliss: My character is married. My wife doesn't sleep in the same bed with me. She sits in a chair all night lol. A little odd.
Lol true.
I guess it can be asked to have at least the model of the wife/lover next to our character.
(or maybe could be modded?)
: Clicking on people at work in the office is a little funky. I like to "work together", hopefully to build relationship points with co-workers. So I click "work together and when it's done, i have to use the camera to chase the NPC around to click it again. It would be easier if i could just set an amount of time to work with them, or make it so the NPC doesn't wander off right when a task ends.
Work is, indeed messy.
Personally, I like it, it makes the place more lively (and realistic).
But I get you mean.
If you use talk/chat, the NPC will move close to you or viceversa, but it'll stay there for awhile.
Or you can move the camera to one side of the room (or a corner) to always have everyone on sight always.
: How much are you expected to work in order to keep your job? I generally try to adhere to a M-F 8 AM to 5 PM schedule and keep getting praise from the boss. I am starting to think that all you really have to do is click "work" once per day, 5 days per week? Is that correct?
Honestly, work is just an excuse to have sex events.
You could indeed do just one run of work daily.
If you do more, your job stat will increase, meaning ALL the other jobs will increase earnings. More importantly, having high job stat at office work means promotions: you'll get a raise, new scenes, a personal secretary, etc. (all of these means new scenes available)
: I have a male character who is only into females. I decided to try out organized crime. But the mafia boss said i had to have sex with him to join?!! Did I read that right? I'm not trying to poop on anyone's parade, but I'm not into that and I wanted to see what the mafia thing was all about. Did I miss something? I just want to add some Goodfellas into this porn mix, you know... wife is oblivious at first, i have a sleazy girlfriend in a secret apartment, I whack a guy for buying a fur coat with our heist money and drawing attention from the cops, that kind of thing.
If the boss is a female, is not strange lol
If it's a guy, you just had bad luck, as having sex is just one of several random options.
: There is an event where you go on a double date. The intro text seems to be absent... I'm just immediately given a choice to agree to something vague or not.
That scene is what we're coincidentally talking some days ago.
It's absolutely fucked up, so unless you're really curious about it, just skip it with "no".
: There are a number of times where my partner and I end up clipping through a wall in certain positions. Generally not a big deal, but if you end up making sweet love in a movie theater, you're positioned half inside the floor. I think you should set it up so that the sex activity occurs up front by the movie screen, which is where the lowest floor level is.
Again, new to the game
Use shift with movement to set the characters in the exact place you want (you'll note that some positions are meant specifically to be placed in certain... well, places)
shift + wasd to move around
shift + middle mouse (wheel) to move up-down.
(shift also works with left and right mouse, to more adjustments)
: I recently discovered the joy of hitting C during sex scenes, which allows you to see from your character's perspective. This is fantastic. But one time, when the scene ended... my character's head went missing. Like he literally had a big hole between his shoulders. I quit the game and restarted, and my head came back, thank god.
There are several glitches like that, unfortunately.
Simply too many data for each character.
Next time, try going to bathroom (or somewhere else), do something that requires the game to load characters, instead of closing the game.
: By far the biggest issue I've encountered in this game so far is having to hold down a mouse button when moving the camera. This is because, when a dialogue or event pops up, I can't look around, because if i click the mouse, i advance the conversation. So for example, if a woman approaches me and hits on me, many times I can't see her, so i can't decide if i think she's hot or not. I can move the camera around with wasd keys, but i can't rotate the camera. So often, I only see the woman's back.
Another problem I had when started lol
When there's an event, or anything that has a dialog, use the right-button mouse instead to pan camera around (and wheel to move up-down)
Anyway, none of these glitches hinder my enjoyment of the game much, honestly they make me laugh. Thanks again everyone for putting this together, I'm still reeling from it.. it's like I discovered a hidden city full of riches.
Just wait ti'll you find out how simple is to tweak scenes to your liking...
Welcome!
JFC, that was a lot of text! *facepalm*
