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

[Dark479]

Ok so I got to the crazy island and after a threesome in a tent with two maidens the game is asking me if I want to follow Maze path or neutral path...but selecting Maze just seems to exclude the other maiden from future interactions soo...why would I do that? Is there a specific reason or benefit to selecting Maze over neutral here?

Nothing so far. (There is a chance later to get on 'Maiden' path as well as Maze path, but we have never seen Maze or the other one since.)

Ok soo I reached the end of 5.4 but I'm confused...why is Edvard trying to attack the camp to take Kelly when Kelly isn't even there at all? WTF? Is he dumb or what? Only Pearl and the MC came to the island. Kelly is still somewhere in pirate's bay or on the bloody banshee presumably...she wasn't captured by Diana so she's not with Kira.

I mean Kelly had no business being with the ambassador either so that's out of the question...why did this dude come to this island at all?

yeah, confused me also, if she is there no idea how she teleported then.

The cave sequence with Kira is honestly getting exhausting...I thought I'd romance her too because why not but holy shit she is NOT that interesting. It just keeps going on and on and on. It stopped being fun a long time ago.

If its helps: Its (even more) annoying if you decide not to romance her as you have to keep declining her avances again and again and again and ...

 

[Krytax123]

There is something that really annoys me with the Selena situation:

Why can't we punish her for what she did? I get the whole angle of becoming the monster and all that but the game only allowing us to taking it out on her sister is trash. Her sister did nothing wrong. If you want to be technical a purely 100% eye for an eye retaliation would be breaking the back of Selena's sister but I don't even want that...why can't we like break of of Selena's hands or something. Not even as sever as never being able to walk again. But even if the choice is purely to kill or not to kill and nothing else, why can't we punish the one actually responsible? Still dark as fuck but MC doesn't have to literally become as bad as Taron to still dish out some terrible retribution.

It makes the morality system cartoonishly black and white where you can only choose between hugging puppies levels of good or torching kittens moustache twirling levels of villainy. If you want the end game to lead the MC that far down the rabbit hole of evil that's also fine but it should be more of a slippery slope, not going from pure good to pure evil like flipping a light switch. At least for a very few of the more extreme evil choices there should be something like 2 or 3 levels of bad reactions unlocked based on the MC current karma. Only an MC that always chose the vengeance path without restraint should have the option to go all the way to those levels of depravity.

Bro this topic is beaten to death for a long time already, be glad we got what we have now. It was (even more) worse in the original version where it was literally a decision between "okay no problem, lets hang out soon" or "break sisters neck". At least the dialogue on the "forviging" path is way more firm and unforgiving now ...

... but yeah its still a stupid situation and i think buu concluded that too and therefore scrapped the whole selene thing. He obviously had a different idea about her development in the beginning, i suspect it would have required a lot of branching and and he decided at some point to go forward with less branching.

Thats why a solo LI path feels so stupid in this avn too. Eliza is my fav but i tried to play a path without her lately for the lols and the whole avn just feels utterly stupid. The eliza romance should be mandatory as it doesnt make a lot of sense otherwise.

To be honest, at this point this avn could be a kinetic novel. Your decisions dont matter, neither the decisions about the girls nor the decisions about evil/good path (when was this used the last time anyway?).

Imo buu changed his vision of the whole avn at some point, focussing on producing content quite fast and regular instead of going into the details and variations of the story which isnt bad per se but feels off when you take certain decisions.

Yeah hes apparently (very) stupid and just assumes that kelly is with the MC. In the end hes only there to give the mc a win against a (pathetic) enemy to convince even the last few doubting women in the tribe that hes the god blessed dick.

Im so fucking over all these mindless bimbo dolls throwing themself at the MC for barely any reason at all lol, i like the story but somehow the dev manages to torture (!) me with a endless stream of boring fuck interests who are so cringe and chumming up to the mc in way which want to make me puke.

I really like the story and subbed a lot of times for nephilim, but it feels like worse kind of filler than the dragonball filler episodes and i would never thought i would feel this negatively about lewds but they are so FUCKING BORING.

I even really like the design of some like Vex for example but whenever she speaks i feel like i did read the same stuff from at least 5 other LI's in the same avn already. Shes just a Kira light and already destined for the same outcome.

I just want a bit more focus on the story the balance is just so off. Usually lewds are a exciting switch between a story, a time to cool down, but here its lewds after lewds while im bored and waiting for the story to continue.

Im gonna snap if i hear these island barbarian bitches talk about the mc's "spear" one more time

Decline Kira.
"Wow Kira is hot"

Decline Kira.
"Kira's boobs are awesome"

Decline Kira.
"I can't wait to cuddle with Kira's sexy body"

Decline Kira.
"Kira is so amazing"

Repeat, repeat, repeat.

Decline Kira Permanently.

"Should I go visit and Kira in the middle of the night?"
"No"
"But I will anyway"
"Kira's boobs are just perfect"

There just isn't enough Kira. I need to hear her whine some more.

Tie her up and give her to Taron so he has to deal with her

To be honest I don't mind the whole all women throwing themselves at the MC. From a lore perspective it's clear that they are being affected by something external to instinctively trust and crave the MC...whether he has some godly pheromones or whatever it's clear they are not acting as they normally would.

In terms of choices, even if this becomes linear with almost no meaningful choices I just wish a few things would be handled better imo.

Nonetheless with all that said overall I still really love the game and I hugely appreciate the fast development time where we don't have to wait forever for updates. I have seen games with slow and much smaller updates end up much worse than this has been so far. All in all Nephilim is still one of the most enjoyable VNs I played.

I dont mind harem avns and girls being interested in the mc but they are all so ... easy i dunno. It makes them less interesting to me, its fine to have some easy LI's but they are all the same at this point. Some are slight variations of Eliza and some are slight variations of Kira and i guess some or slight variations of nothing (Alice).

If these girls dont have any story or meaningful character i would prefer to just watch porn instead of a pixel diashow, avn lewds are only exciting when the story/characters behind them are exciting for me.

Give me a good romance, or a fun quirky girl, a very smart girl or a kinky girl or a uber competent girl but she has to have something. Whore #57 isnt really appealing at some point anymore.

You just gave Pix an idea. Granted, he probably thought of it first.

Nope. That's a new one. I wanted to give her and her sister to Brenda.

Edit: Or arrive just in the nick of time, slide in under the sword strike from whatsername the sailor lady, and cut both of their heads off first.

That's weird, whatsername is what I call the herbalist that wants to fuck the MC like 30 minutes after Eliza gets paralyzed.

Her too. Too many Lis - can't keep them all straight, especially the ones we've only met once or twice. Diana maybe?

Yeah, this whole jungle chapter is drawn out way too much, the story barely moves forward because every other minute another forgettable girl is throwing herself at the MC or the MC droling after them...that was fine with 2 or 3 of them but yeah, i have quite enough of them and want the story to be in the focus.

Decline Kira.
"Wow Kira is hot"

Decline Kira.
"Kira's boobs are awesome"
...

I have the same impression with that queen of the jungle...i have no interest in her, find pretty much all other LI's way better and the MC is constantly drooling about how hot she is, and she is the best ever etc....like dude, just shut the fuck up, i can decide for myself who i want and who i find hot

It gets especially silly if you don't want any of them.

You can pretty much apply those MC thoughts to most girls. (It does stand out mostly with Eliza and then Kira, because they are the 2 you spend the most one on one time with).

I'm sure we could tie her up and find something she could do with that mouth
