VN Ren'Py Nephilim [v0.5.9] [BuuPlays]

[Pixillin']

Just did a full "dark path" run - still didn't do anything with anyone except Eliza, but encouraged her to give in to blood lust and always picked the least-nice option when talking with anyone but Eliza. It doesn't change much. I would have been less-nice if it was an option (like getting angry with women if I had to reject them more than twice.)

Edit: Actually not everyone - I was very nice to Lucid.

I understood that the result of a dark path would not be seen until a fair way along. So it may still be coming. I also thought it involved corruption of the girls, so maybe rejecting them changes things again. I think we'll have to wait and see.

I think the Dark path more implies with killing , LI getting killed as a consequence etc etc instead of corruption

But other than let Eliza go a bit crazy with the fangs, I haven't corrupted anyone - or done anything with them except tell them to back up ... quite a lot.

You got me thinking and I had to check. It is corruption, (probably killing too, but definitely corrupting the girls).

Just gimme Rin, thank you.

Interesting ... I guess ... but I still won't. I wonder if that means no downside to Dark Path?

Depends on whether you like that thing or not. Personally I will never play a path like that.

I normally wouldn't either - but it doesn't seem to change much in this case. I have no interest in corrupting girls and making them my personal concubines. I'm only, exclusively with Eliza in this so if there is no downside, if it's just about the harem that I don't intend to have, then I can just make decisions on a case-by-case basis and not worry about whether it's dark path or light path.

Plus, every girl you meet wants you anyway, why would you want to corrupt them and turn their love into whatever.

honestly the idea of corruption seems like an odd concept in this game with how everyone in the harem is easy to catch you only need a starter poke'ball. That's why I never thought any dark path choices would lead to that till you showed that post

Maybe people just want variety since the girls seems to fall on MC's lap....

I've been thinking of learning Ren'py and making mods. I'd like one for this game that just automatically rejects everyone but Eliza - as in they don't even ask. Of course, that would make large parts of this into a kinetic novel. Thinking of doing something similar for a few other games where solo routes are possible but the dev makes it very difficult.

Sounds entirely useless

From my understanding once you make the Major decision that locks you in for good. So not really a need for such a mod tbh other than maybe if you replay the game and only want to Eliza on those runs.

In this game, if I do additional runs it won't be about Lis. At one point I did a Pokemon run and it didn't change my mind about anyone. Eliza, solo is all I'm interested in. Some of them I don't even want to be friends with.

Seriously, I don't know why all the praise for Eliza. If I could, I would rather choose the path of friendship with Eliza. The only thing I don't know is, if you choose the path of friendship with Eliza or the other girls, could they betray you? You could say that what interests me the most about Eliza, is knowing the other powers she acquires after becoming a vampire; so far, only her supernatural strength and enhanced reflexes have been seen. It's not that I hate Eliza, but in this kind of games, I've never liked that girl who "stands out" (let's say that's how it could be said) among other girls; for example, in this case: Eliza. When it comes to these kinds of games I prefer to value all the girls equally, and not talk or praise one more than another. But this is just my humble opinion.

I get what you're saying but after experiencing the harem route and comparing it to an Eliza only route, it just feels off. It almost feels like different writers even though it's probably not. On an Eliza only route, you get a very committed relationship with two people that are so focused on each other and their goals that nothing else in the world matters. On the harem route, you get that but then it's juxtaposed with the MC stopping to get his dick wet every 100 renders or so and putting about 1/5 of the Eliza effort in (except for Kira but that cave stuff took way too long). For total content, the harem route is obviously the way to go, you hook up with nearly everyone in the story. In my opinion, full harem cheapens the Eliza relationship because all of his dialogue sounds like playboy overkill when he's spent the day hooking up with literally everyone else.

So I basically keep two runs going. Eliza only and full harem. I don't really care about the dark path and I might work on it once the story is closer to finished.

Honestly I just love the relationship with Eliza even if it's very lovely dovey and that can be a bit much for some people. The way it's executed for me is perfect. It very fun and playful which are 2 of my favorite things to see in a relationship. Then of course it's wholesome and romantic too when everything is combines just makes for a really fun couple. In fact this MC and Eliza is my #1 AVN couple out of any game ive played.

Honestly the only other girls that can come close to Eliza for me is Amelia and Luna but they still fall short in comparison. If Amelia gets alot of content I can see her potentially over taking Eliza as my favorite. As when the MC took her out she reminded me alot of Eliza in the early chapters which was my favorite version of Eliza.

All the stuff Jadepaladin and Dessolos said

1) She is supposed to be the main Li, you meet her first and have more of a story with her than the others. You are as close as two people can be without it actually being incestuous. Her father for the first 10 years of her life was your surrogate father for the second decade of yours and his dying wish was that you find her and take care of her (another reason to never, ever leave Eliza behind - plus you promised her you wouldn't in like ... chapter 2? 3? something like that.)
2) She is the closest thing MC has to an equal. If he goes into a dangerous situation with any of the others, he has to constantly worry about them. With Eliza he doesn't ... at least not as much. She can hold her own in most situations.
3) All the lovey dovey stuff. Their relationship is great. Warm and intimate but also funny and playful. (really already covered in depth by the two posters before me).
4) It's me. In most games, I tend to focus on one Li who I really like. Harems aren't really my thing. Occasionally there are two I like, and occasionally there are zero that I like (don't tend to last long in those). I think that, in this game, if it weren't for Eliza it would be a zero.
