VN Ren'Py Nephilim [v0.5.5] [BuuPlays]

[Dessolos]

I'd accept taking Alice along for some kind of development like Eliza got but narratively it wouldn't make any sense since Alice needs to stay at the academy to keep learning. She got done dirty. She's set up to be childhood friend, the expectation is she would be the Eliza of the story but that's not how it played out.

Only one I can see the MC bringing if he is leaving Eliza behind is Luna tbh

Same - I’ve been upset that MC was at the castle and Eliza was at the Inn. Dev either did too good a job with Eliza or not good enough with anyone else. There isn’t even a second place. Without Eliza this game wouldn’t have a good LI. I’ll probably check out until late next year sometime.

I think it's a bit if both tbh of course it heavily depends on you. Alice needs some better deveolopment , while characters like Luna and Amelia to me felt like they started to get to a level of character deveolopment. Amelia in particular I find reminds me of Eliza at the start of the game , so if she did get a good amount of content I could see myself liking almost as much as Eliza.

The dev said he expect the chapter to be finished around September or August

That wouldn’t help at all. I don’t like adult Alice - I don’t just mean romantically. I don’t like her and want her to go away.

Yeah, Amelia is quickly becoming a second favorite for me, particularly after her trip outside the city.

I am curious who will be going along with MC. I'd be a bit surprised if none of the existing LIs come along.

not me I don't like it when a LI disappears from a game's story no matter how much I may dislike or hate them , so unless she gets killed I would like to keep seeing her from time to time. Even Kira who is my 2nd most disliked LI in this game I don't want her to disappear unless there is a story reason like her getting killed. With that being said if there is an option in the upcoming chapter for her to get killed id take it most likely. I prefer just to turn the ones I dont , dislike or hate down if it's not a save for them but see them in the actual plot here and there.

THB, in this case, I'd be happy if all of them (minus Eliza of course) disappeared and no new Lis showed up. To me this is a 5 star game when Eliza is in it and a 3 star game (with no Lis) when she's not.

Well I don't agree with any of them disappearing for me it would make the game a tad dull and lifeless to me. But I do agree Eliza is what makes the game without her I wouldn't like it so much her scenes are always the best. Like the last update when they were doing naked yoga or whatever it was perfect as the scene wasn't about it being sexual the entire time only towards the end it was just Eliza being Eliza which comes with the scene being goofy , funny , wholesome and just enjoyable all around.

It's not my game to write, but at this point I'd forget about the whole revenge thing if I could stay with Eliza. If MC really has to go without her, then we should stay with Eliza and follow her story and he can briefly fill her in on what happened when he gets back. Anyway, I'll play the next update just to see what's going to happen for the next little while and then I'll be done for awhile. MC promised Eliza way back in Chapter 2? 3? that he'd never leave her alone but he seems to do that almost all the time now. I'm starting to dislike MC.

yeah im waiting to see the reason as to why. I kind of knew he was but just didn't want to say incase I was wrong. The first time he left her he had a good reason. This time I can't think of a good reason he would do so unless he is afraid Taron might do something to the others while he is away and I would agree with her staying behind if that is reason. However if it's just a gut feeling that wouldn't be good enough for me. id like there to be some kind of proof or something else bad happen and he has to pick does he help out the pirates sisters or stay and help out his friends in the city. Or better yet Eliza helps out 1 set of friends and he helps out the pirates that would be acceptable to me if something bad happens to them right before the voyage.

About disliking the MC I will say I really disliked how after getting out of the dungeons he went and saw Eliza last she should of been FIRST.

Yep, there is no good reason unless she's paralyzed again.

I would be even less likely to leave Eliza alone if I thought Taron might come back. No excuse is going to be good enough this time and honestly, once the reunion comes in the fall I'll probably play through everything in between with the skip button and a walk through mod. And I agree that Eliza should have been first - the entire last update should have just been MC and Eliza.

See I disagree as I think Eliza can handle Taron he doesn't seem like a threat to any supernatural beings. Like the MC or Eliza. Now if it's about the MC getting revenge well that's a different story , but I kind of want Eliza to kill Taron more than the MC right now.

She might be able to, though Eliza might be in trouble if Taron uses her mom against her. The point is that I wouldn't leave Eliza alone. I was upset that they weren't sleeping in the same place in town. It's the Devs story to tell but he keeps throwing away the best part of the story. MC's relationship with Eliza (and Eliza's general presence) is what makes this story work - when she's not there, it doesn't.

Yeah I admit since we got back and we helped purify Eliza it feels like Eliza time isn't as important anymore to the MC to me. While some of the plot points do work without her it also lacks the charm when she was involved more with things like at the start of the game. I didn't mind sleeping in the castle but the entire time I was thinking why can't we ask if we can bring Eliza with us to the castle , so she didn't have to be alone at night.

I suspect that it’s because the dev wants to give us alone time with the other lid but for me there are no other lis - there are only a few that I even like and none I want to fuck.

yeah I assume that's the reason as well. Which is reasonable tbh. I just wish we didn't have to sleep without Eliza as I dont like the maids that keep showing up.

Same. I like Sylph (mainly because she's a good friend to Eliza - and MC keeps leaving Eliza alone), I'll probably give the bartender a job at the farm if she really wants one ... but that's the extent of it, she'd be a girl who works at the farm and that's about it. Everyone I either want to kill (the pirate girls), they annoy me and I wish they weren't around (Alice, Luna) or I just don't really give a fuck one way or the other about them.

For me when it comes to the house / farm I'd just get rid of Sylph she annoys me , No Kira yes to Peral. Alice sometimes if she can tone down how desperate she is for our affection and attention cause I do like her but she is starting to be a bit to much at times. The maids can stay in the castle. Otherwise id let everyone else so far live with me or visit whenever they want.

To be fair this is the common issue in every harem game, in order to give fair representation to each LI others have to get sidelined. I would much rather have half or less of the LIs and see more of each of them than have a million LIs that you pump and dump.

I'd rather get rid of the harem entirely - or at least make it more like Between Two Worlds where there are a few Lis but one main li and being with anyone else is completely optional.

Yeah, I enjoy good poly/harem games, but they definitely can get "watered down" when the number of LIs gets too high. In my experience, I find a sweet spot of between 2-6 works best for me in most cases.

Asides from the number of potential LIs, aren't all of them optional in Nephilim too? If you aren't on the harem path for BTW, you'll still be missing scenes just like in Nephilim. Just feels less impactful because there's less proportionately.
