Oh, boy - i tried to give this game an honest, earnest shot but the design isn't brutal or hard, it's /senseless/.
I know everyone in this thread is probably a fan of the game and a lot of you have written gameplay loops where you can prosper by picking mushrooms and leaving or cooking, how combat is to be avoided because you're just a random girl, but the game seems to be designed not just to be difficult and get Lona in brutal, sticky situations of lewd and dangerous consequences, it's built to essentially torture Lona to pregnancy, torture, and death no matter what you do or how careful you are.
Like the caravan mission having 15? orcs, plus additional orcs that join after the timer - a series of 1-square wide passages in which orcs block the path, and it takes approximately one hundred and fifty pounds of food to have enough energy to kill a single orc in the early game. Maybe if I managed to get to level 70 or so it might balance out to be even a little sensible, but my god in heaven this game needs some TLC in terms of the balance knobs unless its intentionally supposed to be horrifically irritating (which I cannot imagine it's meant to be).
I understand why there are so many scripts and mods floating around and I think i'll give that a shot for the next few days and see if that makes anything more fun, but a WONDERFUL concept seemed marred, especially in the early game, by devastating and unbalanced resource management and malicious AI (such as serving drinks always ending in your equipment being ripped off and single-frame activation rape and cunnilingus with 0 sexiness and 255 dirt.
Sorry for the vent, but i'm going to honestly and earnestly give moding a shot and want to give it an honest try before I give up, and if i didn't vent, i'd have just deleted the whole thing.
