I am too, Morrowind might be clunky as fuck from a gameplay perspective, but in terms of immersion, world building, and lore, it is hands down the best TOS game, and if we're being honest, Bethesda has lost all talent needed to make a game like that.
Well good thing for them is they probably don't need to make a game like that to be successful these days. They can make a shallow, generic bug ridden open world game and would probably still make money based on hype alone.

Can someone please tell me what the fuck 'Azura' from 'The Elder Scrolls' has to do with a brothel/sex club?
You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
The whole club stands symbolicly for the way Bethesda is treating its players. Basically the carnations stand for gamers that buy Bethesda's games at launch only to get utterly fucked for 4 weeks until the worst bugs are fixed.

Which reminder me, that I shouldn't buy Starfield until the end of November. (Or waiting until the Pirates doing their thing)

Yeah I have been using the walkthrough mod which was recommended.
I tried the new version with and without mod. Didn't make any difference. Saves don't work from that particular spot..
Yeah, that's why I never use them.

I would actually recommend using the skip function. Outside of the...two or three "free roams" it allows you to get through the game very quickly while doing exactly your choices instead of using "a savegame" from someone who might have taken different choices.

How do you call it?
"A woman getting fucked with a dildo".
Pegging is one of the sex words we have a clear and unambiguous definition for. About 20 years ago, Dan Savage (and his readers) intentionally selected "pegging" for the express purpose of describing a woman fucking a man in the ass with a strap-on dildo.

I'm looking forward to the Veronica update. She's certainly the least fleshed out of the carnations, and the dev has the opportunity to do something great with her. Both Rose and Felicia have already developed some sort of relationship with Edwin, while his relationship with Veronica still feels rather professional. It's gonna be interesting to see what makes her tick away from her gym and the Club.

I also hope we see more of Ian in the next update. I've really grown to like Ian, and I've become very sympathetic towards his character. I've been thinking about his dynamic with Edwin for a while now, and I've finally decided to comment on it, as their relationship has always bugged me, and I just realized why. I've noticed that Ian looks at Edwin like and older brother, and Edwin generally only tolerates him because of work at best, and treats him like a nuisance at worst. Ian's certainly been putting in the most effort in keeping their "friendship" alive.

Ian gets a lot of flak on here, but I feel like he's a much better person than Edwin. Ian feels like an actual human being, while Edwin feels a lot more cold and aloof, almost like a sociopath. If I had to put it into words, I'd say Ian is a good person surrounded by bad indluences (Chuck, Kat, his parents), while Edwin is a bad person surrounded by good influences (Vicky, Ian, Hana). To me, this dynamic serves to paint Ian as a misguided young man, led astray and neglected by the people he trusts, while Edwin appears "good" on the surface, but there's an unsettling darkness bubbling underneath. I also suspect he's a bit of an unreliable narrator, but we'll see just how fucked up he is as the story progresses.

I mean...Ian is cheating on his girlfriend with his former nanny (among a lot of others). Edwin did what exactly? Help her "cheat back", when the dig was already up? I mean overall it probably depends on the decisions you take, but I wouldn't agree to that assessment (at least not for the way I played my MC so far).

Edwin is straight up a sociopath/psychopath, I think that's pretty well established, he is someone who is obsessed with and gets a 'high' off having power over others, and he has a superficial attachment to other people and his primary concern with these attachments are not the people themselves, but how they reflect upon him, take for example his mother stating that she has no idea who August is, why would it really make that much of a difference to Edwin if it had been August or some other porn producer, it's because Edwin's actual concern is that he didn't want to suffer the loss of face due to the people he works for having pimped out his mom as a whore, and Edwin's mom is obviously lying btw.

I personally hoped for some route where Mina gets fucked by Edwin in front of Ian, and I think there's still a chance of that happening, Ian seemed to get turned on by Mina making out with Edwin during the drinking game early on in PC, and I think there's a possibility of Mina indulging in some rather dark parts of her psyche, torturing Ian by cucking him with Edwin is certainly something that would fit into her fuck list.

Eh, I wouldn't say this. It's pretty obvious for a renowned armchair psychologist like myself that he has issues, some form of dissociation, but I wouldn't go as far as to call him a sociopath and definitely not a psychopath. He can clearly emotionally connect and empathise with others, so no.

Disagree.
Edwin has sadistic tendencies which he seems to have somewhat channelled through his sexual preferences as he grew older but that is a far cry from being a sociopath. He does not lack empathy, having show instead time and again that he loves his mother. And his hability to put himself on the shoes of the carnations (and others), to try to understand a bit what they are having to endure.

if you want a exemple of a sociopath in Pale Carnations you can simply look at Chuck or Kathleen. They fit the profile a lot more than Edwin.
