You don’t have to visit them ALL every day, right? I don’t know the numbers, but I can keep them all within the highest affection threshold (which I can tell because of the dialogue) with only one visit every 2–3 days, which means I only have to visit 2–3 girls each day. Is there some benefit to keeping them all maxed out as opposed to just 80% (IDK the actual numbers for the thresholds)?
As for the NTR, I’d put up with it if I had no choice (I’d spam click right through), but I’m definitely not passing up the option to disable it, since it’s being given to me. I think it’s just safer in general to make unpopular kinks opt-in (unless your entire game revolves around one); if you think people who get triggered by the 2–3 NTR scenes are unjustified, what would you say if those 2–3 scenes were scat instead, or guro?
I wouldn't care lol, I've seen plently of fucked up VNs where that stuff was part of the story and completely non-optional. Most of the VNs in this space were inspired pretty heavily by old school Japanese VNs which were heavy on incest, guro, rape, NTR, group sex, sharing, etc., of course there are plenty of vanilla ones too but a lot of them are fucked up. The more vanilla indie western VNs/games started getting big after Patreon got popular, and vanilla people started bitching about fetishes they didn't like and the whole western scene got more vanilla. What's funny is you can go into threads of old school Japanese VNs uploaded on here and find people asking if that stuff is skippable when that's not how games are/were made in Japan, and they are core to the story. So I would absolutely say the exact same thing.
Also, NTR isn't "unpopular", both actual and the new fake definition that includes sharing and orgies, people who hate it are just really vocally angry and tend to brigade so they think there are more of themselves than there actually are. If you look at any objective porn metrics from game sales to hub site data you'd see that NTR haters are a minority.
When I say visit them everyday, it's more each day u should sleep at a different house. For now its only 4 girls that need u too sleep round often. Keeping them happy means there more likley to want sex & be up for u cumming inside em.
The NTR that people claim is in this game is more sharing (apart form one scene where a Werewolf cucks MC but Mia thought it was him so it was more an unknown rape situation). The MC dosent lose girls to men. I cant stand NTR I games & I understand that but any scene where MC shares with other males has a lore reason that makes sense to the game. If the option to avoid is there then that's fine. I'm just saying if ya gonna get pissed at least get you're working right lol.
Recent years people have decided to use NTR for sharing/group sex/ promiscuous characters who aren't LIs for some reason, and it absolutely pisses me of, but it's W/E, can't do anything about it at this point.
I’ll give you that the goblin ritual is sharing*, but with the werewolf, the giant, etc., even if you don’t lose the girl (full-blown NTR), you’re still getting cuckolded and forced to watch—it doesn’t matter if it’s for story purposes, it’s going to put a lot of people off.
*I think the the lore justification is kinda flimsy, however: it’s supposedly so Shakala can get sperm from many worthy males, but I find it very hard to believe that all of the random goblins in her village are strong enough for her to want to mate with them—correct me if I’m wrong, but as far as I’m aware, you’re the only one who ever proved his worth to her. I could maybe see the goblin who teaches you that sword technique as having done it, but yea.
The lore justification is not flimsy, I was gonna explain it but
DomWolf already did an excellent job. Also goblin females pop out babies like nothing, doesn't matter if 1 batch is a bunch of runts, that just means they'll die off sooner if so.
True.
The werwolf cucking scene is optional, thought i don't know if it was from the get to go, or if he implemented it later on.
The goblin ritual is also avoidable for a while now (luckily), mc simply says new boss, new rules.
The giant has 2 scenes, the first one is/was always avoidable through winning a fight iirc, the second one the ritual isn't, thought i think the dev plans to make it avoidable.
That being said, the giant scene is fitting, the priestesses of that goddess are all glorified whores, which provide sexual service for donations, i'm 100% on Nergals side so far...i'm curious if the MC tries to change that cult, otherwise i want to take that sweet elf girl back home.
Yea, loving the Qetesh stuff, hopefully Tinkerer doesn't change his plans for it due to the easily triggered.
