Have you tried getting her all hot and bothered during oral sex and fingering her ass? Then 'change position' to Anal and if you have her all loving she never seems to be able to say no, you can beat the roll by a hundred points (or more!) I've noticed.
You are trying to go in dry. Ask her for vaginal sex first, give her 1 orgasm, then switch to anal.
Make sure you developed your sexual relationship somewhat first via vaginal orgasms before trying this.
Perfect, that did it. Thank you very much!
Guess the two-hour-long foreplay sessions are a waste of time in that regard, since I always started with them and never could get Juno to agree.
Some thoughts on current implementation of sex system:
- Separation of foreplay/petting and "penetrative sex" seems unnecessary. Doubly so since it's pretty much things I'd consider part of penetrative sex arsenal. Ironically, I found the Seduction sessions more fun to mess with than main course, even if it could use a few additions (like fingering). Go figure.
- Penetrative part feels somewhat barebones, and I'm not talking about renders. Could be personal bias, but sex isn't JUST about stuffing a hole >.<
Also, current implementation turns the whole part into pretty mechanical "tour of holes" - get her to climax one way, immediately move on to get another part affinity point. Meeh.
From skimming through the code there seems to be a pretty robust preference subsystem to it, but it doesn't seem that well signaled/expanded on in terms of player feedback. Maybe have some more requests vinegettes according to the partner's preferences? Maybe she feels like rough doggy, or wants lovey-dovey missionary. On the flip side, if the player spoils them with what they want all the time, they gain Willpower (and potentially Defiance if Affection not high enough).
I'd also suggest expanding "body part" preference traits:
Soulful kisser - gets higher arousal and happiness from kissing (maybe also small bonus to oral performance and proclivity toward any kind of oral action, including post-coital cleanup), lower gain from degrading actions
Sensitive skin - likes being touched, higher reaction to things like lashing
Breastplay lover - better gains on targetted actions. Also, let us work with them during penetrative sex
Vanilla - could add preference toward vaginal sex to the existing effects
Buttslut - duh
Perhaps also have something like
Gentle lover - prefers (CAREFUL) sex
Likes it rough - prefers (HARD!) sex
The "normal/dominant/sadistic" traits are already in play, from what I can tell, but again - this is not communicated all that clearly. Not just when talking to her about sex (that could use expansion based on trait-driven preferences:
), but also during the act itself.
Would be nice to get some toys to expand the choices during normal sex, as well (though likely a lot more work with renders). Dildos/plugs aren't just for stand-alone play. Cuffs, rope and blindfolds aren't just for the rack and hard-BDSM sessions, but a necessary part of a well-equipped bedroom
Finally, why does sex end as soon as MC goes flaccid, rather than being something controlled by stamina? It's not like men go into a coma as soon as we splurge, and keeping a partner on the edge for that half an hour needed to bounce back leads to even better session after.
It feels like sex sessions need some mechanics to promote "focus" play. I suppose if something like traits I suggested above was implemented, it would be possible to reward multiple orgasms from same erogenous zone with increased gain if not in proclivity points themselves (though "+2 vaginal sex" gain at the end of a multi-vaginal-orgasm-session is hardly that much), then at least additional trait-improvement points?
In other words, if instead of doing "tour of holes" for +1 proclivity point gain for all oral, vagianal, and anal, the player focused on oral sex only, at least they would get +2-3 points toward "Oral Fixation" on top of everything else.
You only lose stats on anything other than the great assembly line, so long as you stick with the great assembly line you don't need to fear stat loss.
Messed around with it a bit - assembly line and munition production are decent enough. The latter in particular is pretty good deal, since you can hit +1 dex increase seemingly frequently enough. Not sure the time expenditure is worth it for Charm and Stealth, if there were other options, though. Then again, stat/skill gain in the game is pretty scarce in terms of real time invested, even if it's still much faster than "realism."
It feels like a lot of activities that should assist in raising stats/skills do not. Take gambling, for instance - is there even a chance ot raise dex and stealth that way? Would be nice to have an option to actually do some kind of sleight of hand (at a risk of failure) for better or more guaranteed earnings.
Hunting (which actually seems to reward the most skill points per attempts) likewise is just Survival. Why not Stealth and Ranged? Or Stamina? Or even Strength, when you get a big haul at the end of the day.
I think adding more potential stat/skill increases to existing activities would help mitigate the utter grind that the early game is right now. It's not so much that it's somehow "challenging," since there are few risks associated. It's just consuming crapton of real time on constant repetition with high chance of failure. At least even if you didn't roll the desired increase, something would improve.
Don't see a lot of "learning from mistakes" stat gains from failures, either. Doubt most of them are critical failure rolls. Hunting, again, seems to be the exception, perhaps because it saw more attention?
Last thing that comes to mind, a lot of the activities seem to take a lot more time than expected. This means limited potential for action during the day, which in some cases is... odd.
Perhaps dropping "sex round" duration to 5 minutes would work better? Right now you end up spending half a day just keeping two slaves satisfied. Can't imagine how it works with a full annex.
I'd personally also would prefer to see shorter duration of daily training sessions, but can live even with the 3-hour-long range practice or hours-long drinking binge just to get some rumors. I suppose a younger me, with more free time, would be able to appreciate the pacing a lot more. Now, it just feels unnecessarily limiting.
All things considered, great game. Really dig the settings, and the few "quests" I found definitely added to my interest. The prowler quest stands out in particular as a "tell me mooree!" storyline.
Writing is definitely GDS' strong suit.
On a completely unrelated note, I wonder if somewhere in the future the player could get an opportunity to start a new outpost somewhere in the wilds of Raana. Could be an alternative "home" for people who'd like to see more slaves (or just get their kick from "settlement management" titles).
GDS for Spheremaster 2494!
What's important is how Grim wants them to be in his game, not how they actually are.
For example i think most politicians are not smart/wise at all, they're just stubborn as hell and that's how we get idiots in high positions, they got there by sheer refusal to give up.
Intelligence 1 Charisma 8+ and high Speech in Fallout 1 and 2 extremely pretty fun to play.
Maybe I'll just play a Space Marine (Military/Military/Border Wars/Fortified-Melee Master-Sharpshooter/Young/Biggus Diccus/Stocky/Dominant-Frightening) as I play my regular character I detailed above. Thanks for the suggestion.
Vaguely recall Spice Mareens not being Biggus Diccus (or any Diccus, for that matter) by lore, but might be misremembering.
As for variable numbers in creation, that would lead to endless reloading for some people. That could be funny to watch.
By the Two Moons, please no.
