just my two cents but I really dont like the way the exp leveling system is now. With all the stop exp limits, its just kind of janky.......

Its like a serious disconnect from the story, or at least the grind. You should be rewarded for the time put into the grind. I may have to stop playing this if this is a final replacement for Dev control of the MC. Why make a villian or hero if he is just limited to the role of average joe? Get my drift?

The entire combat system is nothing but an absolutely useless shackles to me, all it is doing is yanking me out of the story and making me irritated instead of letting me get into the story and maybe enjoy it. It's detracting from the game/vn instead of adding anything important really.

Also many bugs, i got stuck on the nyx quest. After busting that slaver, journal says to visit her next day but nothing is happening, on a romantic route btw, if it makes any difference.

Then there's that old lady, i did not even know that there is any content with her or that she is an LI. Journal only tracked her quest once i stumbled upon it by pure accident, don't know why is it like this, shouldn't this be other way around? which makes me wonder what else could i have missed and that's annoying, or perhaps it's for the best if the missed content is anything like that shemales' fuckfest harem questline, but that's just me.

Didn't know we were supposed to lose to the Kraken, here's me trying to gather up enough gear to beat it.

Apparently, there are combat skills that you can take that don't trigger the Ancient Curse that negates healing.

The game isn't very transparent & explains itself rather poorly ...

I know nothing about not triggering the curse, but pretty much every character has at least one skill that removes negative status effects. Some even grant immunity for a short time.

I never tried to actually fight the Kraken since it got buffed. I just went there to see whats different. The main character and Elena got pretty much killed immediately, so I only had Myu and Markus standing. They did a little over 1k dmg before Myu got one shot by a crit. So tank and healer worked pretty well, I guess.

With the right attributes, skills and items, you might be able to defeat it.

I may have to stop playing this if this is a final replacement for Dev control of the MC. Why make a villain or hero if he is just limited to the role of average joe? Get my drift?

Also whats up with the Devs control on the stats? Who ever heard of you cant grow your muscles unless your smart? With all those stats tied together, we may as well just be making a flat character. Every stat is so tied to each other that nothing can grow unless you add to EACH AND EVERY other stat. WTF? I actually Loved the way it was before. I am having a hard time thinking that I can even reach the top tier skills with this kind of stat limitation. If need like 25 strength, that means all my other stats must be 21. That cant be done with only story/sex scene exp. Just cant be done.

Would be awesome if those issues get fixed. I do enjoy playing the game before these were implemented. I dont think these issues need to be fixed and should be reverted back to what they were. There is no problem with letting the MC become a power house designed the way the player wants. Just make the story something to remember and leave these basic mechanic issues alone after putting them back the way they were.

Fully agreed. I would be able to like to grind and reduce corruption again through combat. Its a medieval power fantasy, let the player judge how hard he should powerup. Though I would assume for the story to make sense they want us to be struggling at some fights...maybe implement some sort of trick story-wise for enemies to weaken us to specific stat outputs for that battle? Would work better and be a part of the narrative. I don't want to struggle against constant lizard-women while travelling around. And yes with the stats being tied together you don't really have room to build a certain way. It would be fine if we could just powergrind through levels.

there are a lot of tags here, but what would you say the Major ones are? I've been looking for some more good Maledom bdsm games, but I'm not sure that I want to play a 30+ hour game for 1 or 2 scenes.

I'd say it's not scene heavy. But there's two girls who become pretty submissive to the mc that I pursued. One is this hot blonde chick in charge of fighters, another is a foreign girl who you can keep to yourself or pimp out if you choose that route.

I actually agree to a great extent. The leveling system control given to the player felt meaningless. I didn't feel like I had much control over my character because he could only be leveled in the direction of a jack of all trades. So why make me do the chore of going into the menu and distributing points when they could just be auto distributed? Assuming the game is 3 times in length from what it currently is, and my stats are 95 str and 90 int... what's the point?

Another issue is now we are obligated to pursue sexual scenes with characters we might not want anything to do with. I always reject the furry, the dickgirl, and the guy you can rescue in that adventure's guild mission. But now I feel like in doing this, I'm making life more difficult for myself in the long run.

I haven't had time to play and I think they removed content and they are still in the prologue and chapter 1, right, I would like to know what's new and if they deleted the old missions? and that character development system is out of balance? And since the combat system is, I haven't been able to play I'm curious to know.

I was curious what level you could actually reach, so I started a new run. During that run I managed to win the Man in Black fight as well as the Kraken fight. I was hoping to get some experience points out of it, but sadly you don't get any for winning these battles. Well, at least the Kraken drops the crystal thingy. Would be nice to get something for standing your ground against the MiB guy, too. As for now, it's just a waste of potions and time.

I think I chose a path that gives me the most XP. Maybe someone has more? I am Level 13 now, about halfway to level 14 (2250 / 4550). I got 4 Perks, although I can't see all of them in the menu. The Perk menu doesn't have a scrollbar, so I can only see three of my four perks.
