Ok so I spent over a week playing this and it is quite enjoyable, and animations/sex sences are good quality. I do however have a few sugesttions and bugs to make the creator aware of.
Firstly the ecomony seems complety broken.. I mean the whole reason you start the Whorehouse is because it is meant to be a money goldmine.. However its earnings are poor at best, I mean even with all 4 girls {with all servives offered at renowed that are possible} and best reputation and 2 upgrades on the brothel I was earning less per week then I can doing just one court case in the basilica, I personaly think the money you can earn in the court system is broken, but it has to be because the brothel doesnt cut it.. I mean you are paying millions and millions in house fees and materials for upgrades so you have to get it from somewhere. But even the court system can be hit at miss.. get a senator off a teason charge or raping a vestial virgin and you can get less then 100 from it.. other times u can get half a million reward for a single court case.
The girls.. Fasti I can get all 6 servies offered to renowed and same with Maeve all 3 offered but Parmida and Inga both will only go to available on buttjob, no matter how many times you try and train them. But why arent more services offered? Is it becuase you havent done the animations for those skills? I thought maybe you unlocked extra servives once you got there shyness/nudity taboos down but no such luck.. same with personal quests... after finishing the drinking challenge with Inga or finding Fastis brother and having him live with her.. no extra services are offered. I got stuck with Parmida with her Perfume.. I bought the expensive one in town becuase I couldnt find the desert rose... and she didnt like it much but the quest says wait for few days and it has said that for months now with nothing seeming to trigger it. Even though I have since managed to find the desert rose perfume there is no way to give it to her as you can only offer her clothing.
Bug with storage, If you buy something that you can carry and it doesnt offer you the chance to send a cart to a location, you can get stuck with those items because if you want to add those items to a location you already have sent a lot of materails too and you try to go there and add those items it says storage full (even though it isnt as you can send more items there by cart). Also early on in my game I bought a few dresses for my girls and put extras in my storage at the brothel.. but If I go to remove those dresses to my character I can do it howver the dresses never actully get removed so u can just repeatlly remove dresses till your at carry weight and then go sell them over and over.
Skills.. the Socail and Rhetoric work fine as you can train them up to 50 off a npc.. however Merchantile is broken, not only can you not train it.. but the way it currently works is really bad.. so currently in order to raise its level you have to buy something and try to bargin for it.. and then you have a SMALL chance of getting a possible chance for increase of merchat skill at the end of the week (if you reflect on the week).. now that itself is bad.. but it gets even worse.. every single product can only be bargined for once.. regardless of who you buy if from or what town your in... So for example if you buy like any normal person.. and select a load of materails to send to your villa or sister house for upgrading and then hit the bargin button.. every single item will give you a chance to maybe have a skill upgrade at the end of the week. However you have just locked yourself out of ever getting a skill upgrade off every item you just bought.. in ANY town and off even differnt merchants. So then only way to garantee gains for this skill is bargin for products indivually...and save scum at the end of the week.. constantly loading it if you dont get a marchant gain.. because once you run out of new products to bargin for you will never upgrade this skill.. (or better put never have the chance to have a chance at upgrading this skill).
Your sister, once you have bought the villa in Roma and upgraded it once the game tells you that your sister should be bale to move to rome now.. however when you visit her and talk to her about it she says she still has stuff to do in the provinces.. that is despite upgrading her and her husbands house twice.
Graphics bugs, once you have guards on the brothel and leave to go anywhere in rome the guards follow you on screen to the next location. If you go for the option of buying a guys house he didnt pay taxes on rather then getting a permit for new house the guy who was goignt o give you the permit is forver stuff at the basilica location and is on screen even during court cases.
So currently in my gameI have 3 questes that dont seemt o go anywhere.
Parmidas loyalty: stuck on wait a few days ( its been several months).
Descent into Infamy: says spend time talking with Charis. I have done this two seperate times. But currently dont have a option for a thrid time and she wont move to Rome.
Become a man of note in Roma: I have 85 socail skill but have never met a patron in the baths.. even if i spend mutipule days there socailizing.
Ideas for making the game better... well for a start one of the most boring parts of them game is traveling round and finding the small quantites of materails you need for upgrades.. Why cant you send that useless Oaf Kreon out to buy stuff for you.. and tell him not to come back till hes bought X of whatever item you need. At the very start of the game when you have 20 merchant skill and have to buy things you can switch to him and see he has much higher skill but you cant buy things with him. Its a bit of a kick in the teeth.
Servants.. it would be great if you had speacialzed servants for differnt tasks.. like Kreon could be your merchant fetch pony.. you could also have a doctor on staff when you get hurt (when you implement the combat skill) and maybe if you add more girls to the slave vendor.. you might think some girls are too good to keep as whores and want to keep them at your villa for youself only.. maybe even add a way to presonalize your villa depending on what sort of Character you are.. Ie if you all about respect and being a do gooder you might have a more formal party type house.. but if your going down a infamy route.. maybe more of a orgy/sex dungeun type of uprgades or your villa.
