...It's interesting to see that both examples ended up with the FWB route. Perhaps I made it too difficult to reach the girlfriend route? I suspected it was the other way around, but I might be completely off. This is for new games, of course. Reaching the girlfriend route is way too easy with existing saves from previous versions...
To be honest, I cannot see the MC wishing to end with Primrose as his 'girlfriend' vs. just FWB, I haven't reached that part of the update but they don't really seem to share many interests and keep a lot of secrets from eachother and he still hasn't elucidated her relationship with her father. Add to this the presence of the many other females of interest to the MC, he seems like the type to have Primrose available on the side, kind-of like the Dryad [my personal favorite of the models] or really any of the Fey and Samarra as well. While the MC gets to profess his 'love' for Evelyn, I didn't really pick up on that being more than remote physical attraction coupled to jealousy of Thaddeus encroaching on another male's territory. Once Thaddeus is warded off, wouldn't he be happy just to have her devoid of another male companion...
Callie is the same, though the set-up of their relationship could have surely blossomed if it weren't for the lesbian thing - waste of such a good model for a male-protagonist porn game, imho. Still, I like her willingness to pose for him and the like, though SHE is really the character in the 'sister' role rather than Evelyn in this game, and honestly Evelyn seems more like an Aunt or a Cousin, maybe the Uncle's daughter, but whatever.
My second favorite model after the dryad is Nell - oh wow is she ever killer :heartcoveredeyes:... SOOO excited for the continuation of her balcony scene... SHE I can see becoming the MC's exclusive or at least primary GF, but I may be projecting a bit there.
Alright, so now my contribution to the various theories -
Thaddeus is involved in the conspiracy to wrest power from the Princess or just control her, perhaps he needs to be present at the coronation to enact a spell to put her under his control. He planned the assassination of Merek in advance of this and is trying to mold the MC as a willing participant in the coup. He may also be a former lover - or rather 'seducer' - of the sister princess. The story of the second sister's death is a partial fabrication, Thaddeus was somehow involved in getting her killed... Either that or he really was in love with the dead sister and blames the princess and is seeking a means to covertly stop/defeat her unbeknownst to the other characters. I would guess that he or a co-conspirator used the chameleon scales to gain access to Merek per Primrose's story. Thaddeus has access to and knows how to use the scales from his prior relationship with the sister who was a practitioner perhaps under the tutelage of the previous crone. Another possibility - Thaddeus himself was a pupil of the crone and learned from her the same sorts of skills as the MC is now learning - 'invade mind' and 'remove inhibitions' and has been using them to further his ends...
Those are some of my guesses there.
Regarding the crone, she could be the supposed dead sister who didn't
quite die after the fall but was first found and rescued by the original crone who made a deal to save her life or somehow the two switched bodies, hence the delay in the event of her death and the finding of her body as told in Thaddeus' tale - the sister brought her dead body back to be found after the switch was made. From time-to-time she uses chameleon scales to make her ugly body look like her former body. I do not think that she was directly involved in Merek's death, though it may be that she was in the town in disguise and witnessed the death.
It sounds like the princess is under the control of either a sorcerer or a demon or some combination thereof, and there is a threat of the demon unleashing destruction on the fey and all mankind, hence the fey concerns and Merek's vision, not yet sure how the MC screwing around will help to counter that... unless through breeding lots of human/fey hybrids is somehow protective
Oh, the woman at the water, I seem to recall the pixie saying she wasn't Fey but maybe a sorceress, my guess is that she is neither but a body inhabited by an 'angel' - hey, if there are demons in this universe then why not angels of some kind, and did you see her eyes if you try something with insufficient agility and wake her up
She is waiting for the demon to put his plan into action, but I have no idea why that would make ANY sense, so I wait.
Enjoying the story and the models, verymuch looking forward to more, especially implementation of those actions currently given 'locked' placeholders such as 'perversity' levels. Thank you.
