VN Ren'Py Origin Story [v0.8.2] [JDOR]

To put it another way, his powers could activate rose-colored glasses if he sees anyone with a power which would be desirable to him that might not be conventionally attractive to him ... not that this world seems to have any women (except maybe mutated people) that would fall in that category ...

To confirm this theory we have to wait for confirmation that Riley and Parker do not have powers

I think Parker doesn't. Riley is still highly sus for me being Ghostraven until proven otherwise.

Something like that yea.

On the topic of there being no not stunners in the game so far, that would be a really funny way to have this idea proven. Maybe have a character comment on how someone is only average looking and wondering why MC finds them so attractive but from our perspective the character model is actual gorgeous like all the other LIs or something

Well MC would still be able to find people attractive normally whether they have powers or not, but that his Power will just work to prevent lack of attraction from being a barrier to gathering more powers.

i hope inferno will manage to escape and then mc gets somehow involved to "catch" her
heck, i'll pick an option to free her myself (only for the sake of getting her power ofc )

I dont doubt it in any way. She's presented much to likable to not somewhen become a LI. Furthermore if there's any thruth in it, the gallery pictures are showing her sunbathing together with other LIs

If you peek at the renders her name and that of Scarlet Shadow appear in the ? not yet unlocked, together with that of Dark Witch I think and a female name that I don't remember

It's been often talked about, about whether or not the various girls are actually attracted to MC or if it's largely because of MCs power making them be. But something that I would be be interesting, conceptually, is if the reverse was also happening.

MCs power's "prime directive" as some people have called it is to have MC fuck as many people as possible and copy their powers. To this end he has magic pheromones that cause people exposed to them to start being really attracted to him.
What I think would be an interesting extension of this would be if the power caused MC himself to become more attracted to women it detected powers in. MC not finding someone attractive would be one of the biggest barriers to him copying a great number of powers, and so his power would gradually work to remove that barrier

But if that was the case, wouldn't it be more "fitting" for him to be bi or pan to get as many powers as he can?

As a bisexual myself, I completely agree.

But as our good friend Fraser said, that'd piss off the straights.

Only if you're self-immersing. I'm straight and Idgaf about it. It's a character in a story that I happen to like.

As a straight, I would not want to play as a character that f*cks other men, too. Just the preference. But I am just finding holes in that logic.

 

[Dr.TSoni]

But I am just finding holes in that logic.

Objectively if his power pushed him to be attracted to both men and women it would expand the pool of power from which to draw.

Say MC was bisexual by default, and like in the current game there are no forced LIs, only this time there are main guys and side guys just like there are with girls. Further lets say some cool or interesting powers were given to these guys.

Countless idiots would bitch and moan that xyz power is locked behind being with a guy. It's all completely optional.
And yet the complaints would never stop.

But the alternate argument for that would be that the power can still be obtained by the pill, just like it is with females, so you could still get the power without having sex with the guy.

That is very true, and yet some people would complain. They wouldn't want anything to do with their cum being anywhere near another guy, and MCs cum is a main ingredient of the pills

Ruth officially took the spot of my favourite redhead in an AVN.
I'm sorry Sage...
