Just did some bits of "darkish/harem".
Well,I first tried to play as a stoic dude, friendly but not ready for any romance and never fallingfor boobs... But at some point it just felt natural to romance Eliza (at a time in a tavern, got on the romance part just because I played couple and still wanted to be honest with her). Some things didn't seemed corrects, like MC calling her with a sweet name and her doing the same ... Where did that come from ? Well, now I know, it's a scene I didn'thad because I wasn't romancing at the time.
Could be hard to "fix" but yeah, the fact that whenever you go on romancing the game react like you were always on that path can be strange.
I've a hard time with the dark path. I'm way too nice for that, most of the time it just feel like just sadism. Not "power hungry" or "power angry" or "loosing control of his power", just sadism. I can't relate to that in anyway and I find it too bad that you can't really be "an entity of order" that would be cold and be able to just kill without a care for his values. Here you call "for fun", even if it would be to show the "feeling of superiority" it doesn't get quite like that, there is no "Mmmm, I'm way too powerful for a little thing like you and you still dare to [insert act here] in front of me ?".
In opposite when going full light path I clearly feel that the MC isn't in full control, that the polars of his powers are always ready to tear him in a direction and force some choices... And the need of others.
I see that some think that Eliza's fate seem rushed/out of nowhere and such ... Well, when you do in an island named like it is named to find a divine relic from a god that seem like it isn't the god of butterflies and bunnies ... Well, let's say I'm not surprised by the result.
And I do like said result. We can have an Eliza that can become a treat/allie to the MC, someone that as the potential to be an equal.
What more, she'll probably go herself on a "light" or "dark" path with, this time, the MC serving as corrupting her or keeping her pure. We'll have two powerhouses with morality problem going together on a revange trip while impacting and influencing each other ... It can go as well as it can go really, really wrong. I just love that idea.
(Ok, now it's time for me to follow my formation, something about "being brief and synthetize", I wonder what it mean ...)
