The plot was pretty predictable. Hell, Ilias couldn't have exposed her "evil plans" from the first chapter onward more blatantly if she were holding up a neon sign. It's that the writing is good enough that it works beyond being a porn game. Read: beyond being a porn game. If we wanted to scrutinize it, we start with an easter egg in Paradox where Promestein gives a TEDtalk on how more widespread acceptance of monster girls will inevitably lead to the extinction of the Human race.
I mean, there is a guide, but also, that's one of the easier fights. If you quit around the rhythm game boss, yeah, I'd agree that it's bullshit. With Iron Maiden's second fight, though? I'm disappointed.
And yes, rhythm game fight is some bullshit. Even Sphinx isn't that bullshit.
That's not even remotely close to what happens. All the other bargests are still hostile, as are the other monsters. The barghest you do spare at the end of the first act of chapter 1 eventually becomes a helpful npc you can trigger for certain instances (looking at you Mu's section). Lampas actually
while the mantis monstrosity [/spoiler] will fuck off outta the fight if you spare her, and has some good stuff in her special room later one.[/spoiler] It isn't just a "join me or die" situation, either. Your character demonstrates traits that apply to their morality, and future encounters are influenced by that. Heck, I'm pretty sure you can't get Mother Rabbit in the recollection area if you outright murk her, and her story is pretty tragic for what is effectively a Nemesis character.
You mean your best friend, who joined the army five years prior right after you went into a coma and the demons invaded? Yeah, he's had time to figure out that there is a lot more nuance to this conflict, especially when that one Lampas
The game punishes you as Undertale does for killing indiscriminately. For most of the demons, they're trying to survive. Humanity hasn't exactly given them a fair chance, which, granted, they didn't leave the best impression. At the same time, you have the M.O.W.'s and characters like Mother Rabbit whom don't want to hurt anyone, but circumstances aren't fair. And Haru and Liz
And again, not gonna spoil Mu, but... man. Just. Wow.
Monster girl quest makes it clear through dialogue that it's a combination of survival and being outed from Human society due to Ilias that made the monsters aggressive. In certain instances (pro-coexistence cities), that's not the case, and those monsters are even peaceful. A lot of the monsters Luka does encounter are outliers, even in Paradox. I mean, a slime in Iliasville is going to find itself on the wrong end of a pike. In the case of Harpy village, they felt they had no other choice given the nature of the region's religious beliefs.
He starts out pretty opposed committed to the first law of Ilias, actually (don't lay with monsters). It's to the point where Alice rapes his virginity away and tries to soften the outcome with "w-well, I was a virgin too, baka!"
I um... you didn't play Shrift, did you? I mean, yeah, the Lampas do do that, but a lot of the time it's milking farm or blissed-out submission. Getting corpsed is a rarity in the game, only because the demons understand that a Humanity on the brink of extinction isn't exactly sustaining your species long-term.
Responding to the idiocy...
