VN Ren'Py Nephilim [v0.6.1] [BuuPlays]

No, its the first time I hear about.....

Here you are talking about relaxing and sunbathing on the ship.....

Pearl is best girl .... and I totally don't say that because she'd kill anyone picked before her.

It's quite funny when she talks about going on a killing spree and people think she's joking while MC chuckles at their lack of understanding who Pearl really is.

Sure she's super cute and acts adorable most of the time but she's also the most unhinged of the sisters and enjoys killing a tad too much.

Sucks for whoever has to clean that room when she had finished "playing" with Brenda though.

Ava going for a blond instead off a redhead?...

I only usually go for other redheads in solidarity for the ginger sisterhood.

Pearl is like my own sister who's blonde, she gets to be in the group by association.

now the real question is: would she be better as a redhead?

Who ever said the Dev said we should play from the beginning I see why thank you so far it is worth it. His Aunt is freaky

Looks like a classical old german city....Rothenburg looks similar, Freiburg has similarities...but i think you can find that in other cities too
Don't think the dev made it a exact copy of a real city thought.

I feel ya, I'm contemplating starting a new game as well, there must over 20 hours plus of gameplay, but like someone said, I'll be using that skip/forwarding option a lot lol

Yea I'll have to by an auto key clicker

What are the changes in the reworked version ??

Haven't gotten too far still in the village but now he has interactions with his aunt and there is more I feel detailed options. Also I don't remember in the beginning of the game if you got preemptive option to choose to have a harem or a monogamous relationship. That option not sure how it changes the game. Does Monogamous automatically prevent you from sleeping with other women or not.

Charisma, intimidation, and leadership stats that grow with the choices you make and can influence dialogue.
A few new characters from the MC's early life were introduced as well in the early game.
IMO, having replayed from the beginning, the changes are too underwhelming to warrant a new playthrough. Choices still lack effect, and if you don't play a light-path fuckboy, you will still run into several (some severe) narrative inconsistencies. Not even the plethora of spelling errors was corrected.
As far as the narrative goes, characters and motivations still suddenly shift to lead to the next rule-of-cool scene the dev has in mind. Though he pulls off these scenes nicely.

It doesn't affect anything (yet) except for some flavor text. Even the monogamous answer isn't actually monogamous but indicates that the MC requires to have feelings before he's willing to share his bed. Sadly, it's not up to the player to decide these feelings, because even if you turn an LI down several times, the MC will still think about how he yearns for her.

Right Click on the 'skip' button. - It will automatically jump you to the next choice (not skipping).

(As someone who had 30 path saves - it's a lifesaver).

Oh yeah, I always just used the Ctrl key to skip never even tried clicking the skip button.

Just make sure you right click. Left click will skip. Right click will jump.

Ok, got it. I honestly might just download this game to catch up to the latest update. I also might restart maybe though I kinda don’t want to. But my saves are all a mess, and I like being organized when it comes to the saves.

Gonna be a long day.

 

[kazeiheikaya]

The new content definitely isn't worth restarting.
The problem you will have is, that the dev introduced skill points as well added other variables...so yeah pretty much needs a restart...

can you URM the skill points? lol cause I'd just do that personally

 

[Jantio1999]

Before she and MC left for the island, Pearl promised Brenda to kill her, because she was hurting Kira,

Yeh damn so many updates ago, I totally forgot about that bitch...

I don't know if Buu reads this forum, but this line and the next one need to be said by Kelly.

I'm finding so many errors on this replay that it's kinda mind-blowing.

One biggie has to do with the new intimidation/charisma stats. One big example, when dealing with Milton at the gate, if you choose to persuade instead of intimidating him, the following checks look for "if intimidation >= 1 ; else". That means, if you chose to intimidate the skank at the tavern earlier, but chose to persuade Milton, everyone will react as if you intimidated him, because you have at least 1 point of intimidation.

Until this last update, Buu pretty much only ever used boolean variables (true/false). With his new stats, he really should have taken some time to study how integer variables are used. However, in the example above, he really should have added a boolean variable for that specific choice and then checked it for the later reactions.

Mistakes like this are the one of the main reasons we end up having to start over after an update, since fixing things like this will either break saves, or take considerable effort to prevent saves from breaking.

Yeah, it really is too bad. My advice to devs is to store a player's every choice in a list or in unique variables, even if the choice isn't expected to play a role. That way, if plans change, the data is all there to be interpreted.

Nephilim has so many great opportunities to use a player's answers. Told Eliza that you keep people around because they're useful and they aren't your friends? This could've been used or brought up when the whole situation with the pirate twins unfolded. Instead of forgiving them because "I really do like and trust them," the MC could think that he'll keep them around because they'll be useful in the future.
The same goes for the house and their plans. We get a choice about how we feel about settling down eventually, and we can outright dismiss it. But then the deed falls into Eliza's lap, and the MC is entirely on board regardless.
Pretty much every choice we get to make could have a callback or effect later on. Sadly, as it is now, Nephilim just isn't a satisfying roleplay experience, regardless of Buu's claims that choices matter and that the player is the nephilim. There are just too many instances of the narrative invalidating players' choices.
