It is all on the back burner.
When I was discussing Lust I meant more on its effects on the player, both in combat and during sex scenes. With high enough lust, you apparently "can't think about anything other than sex", and same for high arousal. You could be at 100 Lust and 99 Arousal, and your options don't change. I realize in recent years there's been a huge push against non-con stuff, particularly in this sphere, but in any game that features corruption, there should be times where said corruption takes control away from the player in the process of corrupting them. To use an example, Karryn's Prison, where in certain situations the masturbation menu will come up during combat. Yes, you can force yourself to not masturbate, but the fact that it comes up at all is what I'm getting at. Another example would be Trapquest, where your character chooses to submit instead of resisting based on if they're too horny, or in too much pain, or too submissive, or too slutty, etc.
As wonderful as that type of combat event would be, sadly it's far beyond Inno's skill to deliver.
Fairly sure even in that case you actually need to rebuild it from github to get it to actually work. Honestly you might be better off with proton emulation or something.Linux
We already have this functionality in the game, way at the beginning with Brax in the Enforcer's HQ, where the option to lie to him isn't selectable without the Observant perk, or in how more sex actions are available for selection as your corruption rises. Just have some other actions be restricted based on lust, arousal, corruption or fetishes. Not letting the player select resist when they're on the brink of orgasm, for example, or if they have a fetish for giving blowjobs, when they have a dick in their mouth they can't take any actions that would enter the resist stance, things like that. High enough corruption disabling "beg to stop", or even disabling the resist stance entirely, that sort of thing.
I tried using Wine for the exe version and it was so busted as to be unplayable. Missing images, constant failiure to parse dialogue, even worse lag spikes, and the like.
The whole game suffers from a syndrome of being wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle. You can gather every fetish in the game and still be at 0 corruption with the only consequence being slightly more vulnerability to lust. Addictions are non-consequential since Ralph sell the cure in bulk and every random imp happens to carry a bottle. In the games own words, sealing enchantments are a minor inconvenience. Several races are functionally identical to each other. The more unique races usually have abilities that are either useless or out shined by other options.
Yeah, that is the issue with a game with randomly-generated NPCs. CoC/TiTS have scenes written for characters, LT has scenes written for a load of dice rolls. CoC/TiTS' scenes are comparatively well-written, but you are locked down to whatever the scenes are that have been written for that character.
The appeal was the sex engine, it has worked better in the past or at least had some more potential back then.
For sure! The biggest problem with CoC and TiTS is how restricted it is to what is written if you do something special but it is not added to the scene you are out of luck. Like being a centaur is just having no scenes. I get the idea and like it too to be able to apply what you want. Maybe it is me but have no idea how to fix the scene without doing a insane amount of work. Like it is fun for a bit but if you have the same-sex scene at the start of the game and then at the end you have one with for example 10 options more will it make it good?
It did? What changed and why was it changed? Same for the companion system strange to hear it was removed.
To be fair it also has the bigger issue of just meaningless rewards, any gear you find which is meant to be boss loot drops and stuff, is just ass. Because much like skyrim, you can just make a better item using whatever clothing is laying around. The enchantment limit is 100 different per item, which is beyond what you'll never use since you have a enchantment point limit.
Funny you should mention that. Part of that one mod beta is a balance pass, reducing the limit to 10 while making enchantments both more potent and more expensive. You can still have your rose enchanted with +50 Arcane and Physique, but it costs a couple thousand essence. Even funnier is that reducing the enchantment limit also reduces the size of save files and therefore the load times.
When I first found this game, it looked like something that could go somewhere.
