Judging from the answers, I take it it'll be impossible to romance all the girls at once. Or even several, for that matter? I saved Awiti in the forest, then reloaded to save her during the raid. But after the raid, she's nowhere to be seen. Now I learn that since my MC had sex with Sheva in the cave, her path has already been locked. That means the only sensible choice is to let Awiti die during the raid... which goes against what players pursing pure paths might want.
Evelyn wants to save people, so you want to save Awiti to please Evelyn (and keep a LI alive), but you actually shouldn't? You want to show Sheva it's possible to both have morals and power, but you do so by letting Awiti die? The "correct" choice is to show you're not like the rest from Dawn by showing you're just like the rest from Dawn, which is what will make the girls like you?? Letting her die during the raid is a bit different, but players who've so far been shown that pure paths require them to save people will continue to do so and reload to save Awiti. Which is what they shouldn't be doing this time...
In fact, even for players looking for a harem or corruption, it doesn't make much sense. For either, you want to screw all the girls, but to do so you have to let one of them die?? And that's without mentioning MC's sister who will inevitably want a relationship with him. That's already going to cause conflicts.
I don't know, sounds like different ideas sounding good on their own, mashed together without sufficient thought going into them, resulting in an odd, weird and conter-intuitive outcome that doesn't make much sense.
And since I've done the other 2 girls (Deneve having no content so far anyway)... might as well tackle Sheva too. Unlike others, I think Sheva is rather fine so far. The one thing I'd absolutely "change" is adding an option for players to interrupt the sexy time with Slug Lord. It's not like she hasn't established her character as being willing to do anything already. A small interruption, Sheva acting scared that the men would find out... easy to write a way out of this scene for players who'd rather not have it. Doesn't change her character, merely provides another option to satisfy players who'd rather their girl (or future girl, in this case) not shove a dick in her orifices that isn't theirs.
All that text and I honestly still don't know how you're reaching the conclusions that you are. I think you're making it out to be more complicated than it really is.
For example, I don't know how you arrive at the conclusion that saving Awiti ISN'T the pure path? I thought it'd be one of the more obvious good options in the whole game. Is this because
Yes, Awiti doesn't want to be with someone whose having casual sex with other women. She kind of just straight out tells you this. Not to mention,
is not the pure path for her. Again, Sheva straight up tells you this. You don't need to have sex with Sheva to romance her. In fact, casual sex hurts your chances to get the pure romance ending with Sheva.
Also, a lot of what you said is just wrong, so I don't think you're paying attention. Awiti is not distanced from you after saving her life. She becomes very comfortable, forthcoming, and agreeable with you because (by saving her) you show you're not a dick like the other Dawnish. She tells you her whole life story in the cave for God's sake. And yes, she did come from a family that's against violence. However, she's also come to accept (from both her experience and player choice) that violence is inescapable. Hence why she wants to learn how to fight, so she doesn't have to be a slave anymore. That's her arc, AKA her "point".
I feel like you skipped a lot of Awiti's dialogue in the cave. If that's the case, then that's on you. If you choose to ignore a character, then yeah, I don't expect you to have strong feelings for her.
As for Evelyn, I make it a point she's inexperienced, impressionable, and naive. So yes, making more corrupted choices and showing her that being corrupted works, will make her revaluate her own morals. She's lived her life very strictly for so long thinking that's the only way to live. By making the "bad" choices, you're showing her that there's other ways to experience the world. This is what gets her to open up to new ideas. This is the point made by Sheva herself in their scene together.
And again, you're not paying attention. Evelyn mentions multiple times, even before she turns corrupted, that she "finds Sheva fascinating". Read between the lines. She finds Sheva fascinating, they're constantly tense and going back and forth:
Yes, she's attracted to Sheva. I don't understand your point about comfort zones and voyeurism either. Her voyeurism DOES contribute to her corruption variable. She DOES establish her comfort zone with Sheva by telling her to go easy and only pushing her limits a bit at a time. Her dialogue will progressively change based off how many corrupted choices you've made. I've covered all these bases. And your advice about how her "path should be locked" just shows you're not really understanding how this game works. Evelyn doesn't have a single "sex" path the player can do (Few characters do. Most female characters you can have sex with through multiple means). Evelyn has three paths. The one where you ignore her, the pure path, and the corruption path. The pure and corruption path can both lead to sex with her, but its different kinds of sexual acts and much different contexts.
As for Sheva, sure, you're not a fan of NTR. I get it, some people aren't. Its why I put it in the tags, and I don't even label it "optional" anymore. However, I have to disagree with you again. There's no other scene that really shows Sheva TAKING ACTION to be cutthroat. She talks a big game and will push the player to make those kind of decisions, but doesn't do that much actual skeeving outside of that. That scene with Rapto is her introduction. It sets her initial foundation.
I think your confusion all stems from your initial idea that you should be able to bang every character in one single playthrough. In that case, you're correct, you will not be able to do that. You CAN pursue and have sex with multiple of them in a single playthrough, and yes, you can even have a harem (Again, I've already made this apparent in earlier posts. Ones not too old either, so again, you're free to read). Not every women will want to be in this harem, however.
I appreciate the feedback and the time you took to think about the characters. But I think you've lost the plot, and you won't accuse me of not putting thought into my work when you're the one whose skipped dialogue. And I find it especially ridiculous you think I should remove a character just because
you don't care about her and ignored her. You see, that's the beauty of
actually having meaningful choices with consequences. You can ignore certain characters completely.
