VN Ren'Py Nephilim [v0.5.4] [BuuPlays]

[jadepaladin]

Happier anyway, I'd still consider this whole adventure a bloody waste of time, and rescuing the pirate twins counterproductive but it would be a substantial improvement.

The problem with that is he's stagnating just staying in the capital.

All of these adventures are powering him up so he'll be ready to face the trials that are coming. Without Eliza getting crippled and his voyage to get the chalice, he would have missed out on so much growth, such as the healing crystals. Same with going to rescue Kira/Pearl. Diana is exactly the kind of sparring partner he needs because he's outgrown Eliza martially. All these baubles and magic he's picking up on the island will help him in his eventual fight with Taron and whatever lies beyond. We, as the player, know that Taron is a bit player in a grand scheme, and while Taron is definitely written weak, there's no telling what the next bigger threat will be like and the MC should be as prepared as possible for it.

Threat to who though? I mean, MC doesn't know about any of it - except Taron. He's the only one I'm after. After that I'll happily become semi-retired and head back north with Eliza. If it's a threat to the kingdom, they can have it. I feel like (among many, many other problems) MC is getting dragged along through all of this without giving him any good reason to do it, or to care.

Not just the baubles and trinkets, he's collecting allies. Whether you romance these ladies or not, Pearl, Diana, Luna etc, etc, etc, are going to be a part of our army.

Taron is after the MC. He wants the MC to give into rage/despair for some reason. We aren't exactly privy to the why but I imagine it has something to do with letting the other Nephilim get his hooks in him if he does so. It's specifically why Taron targeted Eliza and did what he did and later tried to disrupt the MC's growing relationship with the royal family. You're not gonna be able to be "semi-retired" because there are those out there that know who/what the MC is and want his power.

Except MC doesn't actually know any of that. He just knows that Taron's a dick. From a player's POV we might have our suspicions but from his POV he's running around the island to save people he doesn't like, at the request of someone else he doesn't like, for no good reason - when he actually has other stuff to be getting on with.

 

[storm1051787]

but from his POV he's running around the island to save people he doesn't like

No, you don't like them. Literally nothing the mc has does has suggested that he doesn't like them. Him befriending Kira, Pearl, the Islanders, Luna, Diana, the royal family is all stuff that's set in stone from a story standpoint and a large part of the story seems to be the mc slowly getting allies. The choice is whether or not the Mc's feelings for these characters is strictly platonic or romantic. But just because you don't like them or care about these characters doesn't mean the mc is the same.


Even the fact that the Mc rushed off to save the twins is because no matter what you do he at least views the twins as friends even if he's not interested in either of them romantically.

Edit: Hey, do you think when/if we find this diplomat we can accidentally fail to rescue him?

i think the diplomat will be another "beautiful" women for our MC to fuck why should he be a male? thats not Buu´s style, he "needs/wants" more women

 

[xapican]

where is that plank. You grab the burly, a shark or two will make it more interesting.

Why you don't go swimming in one of your rivers ?? in the outback ??

I still really have no idea why you're so eager to give Brenda a free pass. She's just as guilty of wasting the MC's time as everyone else in this woeful arc.

Not really... They haven't even met.
That said, if it's up to my MC, she'll die. He has no patience for disloyal people.

This arc... It felt like playing The Lust City again. The same assets, the same fog thing, the same manless tribe gimmick, and the game changing from a somewhat character-driven story into a fuck fest. It's too bad, I miss the light vs dark choices. I miss the MC having an actual personality instead of this wisecracking paragon of virtue and heroism he's portrayed as now.

Please, for the love of god, someone explain this to me - why do writers do this crap, why do they start a game and make a character say shit like this and then follow up with a seemingly important choice... who the fuck are you eliza - its the first time Im seeing you, we havent been through anything...

This gets explained by the story traveling back to where the MC meets Eliza after a flashback.
Not the best way to structure it, I agree. But! Hardly any of your choices matter anyway.

Doesn't matter. I can just as easily *accidentally* push her overboard (in shark infested waters with hands and feet tied in a bag soaked in fish chum) ... accidentally.

e6mill has it summed up in one graphic. Things with big teeth. Besides I live on the coast, too far to drive.

Dalen is training the lads while Eliza is training the girls in v0.5.4!
But is their training enough to be able to fend for themselves should Taron and his goons decide to attack?
Find out what happens in v0.5.4!

*sigh* Something is going to happen to Eliza while we're gone, isn't it?

I wish we had a different way to punish Selena than killing Samarah. I'd love to punish her thoroughly but not by killing someone innocent. Like killing her and letting the sister go should be a choice too. I really don't like letting them go after the shit she pulled but it seems wrong killing Samarah.

and I thought Selena was the best girl
