Yeah, sadly this game will always lean towards/be strongest for those on the harem path. Unfortunately, between the tiny amount of people who don't go full harem in a game like this and the sheer amount of extra development work that would be required to (coherently) make platonic or triplet only paths... it's just not really feasible to go too hard with it. So in that regard, it makes sense to nudge players towards harem.
I can fully understand and even agree with a mandatory triplet harem, it makes the most sense narratively, excluding any of them is asking for trouble. And the others are all, seemingly, optional already (if you have the heart for it). It just feels a little bad that Allison is the way she is (not enough to make me stop though).
Good call. Always makes me nuts when devs spend roughly equal time on the harem path and each of N singleton paths, for the like five guys that want less pussy in their ero-fantasy games. Being a completionist, I feel like I have to replay everything to see that content, which is rarely worth the effort. A better choice is to finish the harem, then if some very noisy single-path fans are willing to cough up big bucks to keep working on the game, add those paths as a background project while you work on your new game.
Very well put, sir. I feel the same way about Allison; I think "ditzy" went too far. She has gaps in her cognition that should be impossible for a teenaged girl with a healthy mind. The difference between "taboo/incest" and "abuse/rape" starts getting pretty fine at that point.
Don't worry, ppl like that regularly pop up on this and the other forum. It's best to ignore them, I guess.
Ok. I've tried using the walkthrough, but maybe I'm not using correctly. If I want to put Olivia on the 'Darkness' path(which I assume is where she needs to be to get this variant), what do I need to do? Because choosing every 'Red' option as it comes up hasn't been working for me.
What I did was reject her in chapter 4, then the use and deceive option in chapter 5 and in chapter 6, when she tells you that she loves you, say that you know.
Depends on how the games are structured. Harem games, sure. Best not split dev time. But even then, I say less girls total but with more development for each one is hella nice. A harem game with 6 girls stand a better chance of developing them than one with a dozen girls for example.
Sorry. It's my bad for taking the thread in that direction. Apologies to everyone who had stuff removed.
She's the only one that doesn't make me feel gross (and all my daughters are 18, in my version).
Oh, DMD stans get Big Mad if you even dare suggest that maybe D isn't fully capable of consenting because she's very clearly neither mentally nor emotionally developed. (Yes, I also made this mistake.)
You might be on to something there. I really struggled with answering the "age" question; at that point Allison had made the biggest impression on me, but Madison's physique just isn't a thing for a pubescent kid. Appearance wise the other two could pass for anything from 15 to 19, maybe even 20 years old. I think I ended up picking 16 because appearance-wise it was barely plausible with Madison and seemed reasonable for the other two, and every year older made Allison seem more mentally disabled. I decided seeing Olivia as "unusually mature jailbait" bothered me a lot less than seeing Allison as "disturbingly oblivious 18". And fuck it, it's a taboo game anyway.
To be honest, I re-downloaded the game without the taboo patch when it gave me a shot at Brooke's daughter. That's way too taboo for me. In the patched game I rejected her anyway, but Jesus...
I picked 16 as well because it seemed the most accurate (and not something that upsets me). They are very clearly not 18 and only defaulted as such because of Patreon, but nor are they undeveloped, young teenagers (ew). Also, 16 may not be Patreon legal, but it is legal, and it's certainly not more morally wrong than incest is. I disagree that it's barely plausible for Maddison though, I think you might be underestimating growth.
Yeah... when she was first introduced my reaction was "wow, she's adorable". Then the option to peak on the girl's friend appeared and I was like... oh no. It's a good thing this game makes every path optional and you can hard shut that door.
I don't think Maddison is not mature enough to consent to stuff, but she's also not (yet) interested, thus I am less interested in her than Olivia (who is frankly impossible to resist). That will probably change later, hopefully they do it well but it's going to be a bit unbelievable I think. The only perhaps believable plot line I could see is she becomes jealous of Olivia, or wants to be closer to Olivia again and feels she may be able to through you.
It's going to have to be done well, and with sensitivity. I don't really have any basis to agree or disagree with the assertion that Madison's emotionally/sexually prepared for a sexual relationship with her father — two of the three things Allison isn't — but if she's not emotionally/mentally ready to even have a relationship with him, she's either going to act out impulsively and destructively, or have to work through the latter issues before she can possibly deal with the former. If she's next, it's going to happen quickly and mostly out of nowhere. If she's third, they actually have time to build some sort of foundation. Whereas Allison, as written, can't possibly know what she's getting herself into, and unless Olivia can 1) get over her hostility to the idea; and 2) gently walk her through what she's about to do, and the potential consequences thereof, it's still going to feel icky. If they were all in school and there was some sort of sex ed class, it'd make this a lot easier. But I don't get the sense that Radiant intends to extend into a school year.
I dunno. As others upthread have said, there's an airhead and then there's a question of competence. I find her adorable and cute, and she's obviously attractive, but much in the same way I found my own nieces adorable, cute, and attractive, yet I would've violently murdered anyone (including myself) who tried to act on that impression. One niece used to constantly hug me, and for a while that was fine. Then she reached an age where it started to mean something else to her, and the hugs were restricted to two heartfelt but short hugs when I arrived and when I departed, which is how it's supposed to work. If she was still hugging me as much as before when she was eighteen, I'd have had a conversation with her parents. Not because I was worried about me, but because I was worried about everyone else.
I think the triplets are between 16-18, less or more than that makes no sense.
Not to me (referring to the last phrase), but I hate underage games so I can't be trusted on this point. 16-18 sounds right. That said, I don't see Allison getting to 16 (assuming she's the youngest, which isn't asserted) and being completely unaware in the way that she is, without some sort of massive failure in her upbringing, or within her.
