Am i doing something wrong? I just reinstalled but it tries to open through steam?

 

[rickthedick]

So can I or can I not impregnate the girls? And if so how?

So can I or can I not impregnate the girls? And if so how?

Yes you can - (almost) all of them. And speaking of how...

Should I start with bees and birds, lol?

 

[Xythurr]

AS OF v5.2.0:

The game scans for .bat files and steam_appid.txt in its base directory (where Ravager.exe etc are), and quits during intialization if it finds any as an anti-piracy measure.

For now, the easiest fix would be to use the .bat method but rename the file to .cmd, or launch a command prompt in said base directory (Ctrl+Shift+Right Click -> "Open PowerShell window here" in Windows Explorer) and manually run the command:

lib\py3-windows-x86_64\pythonw.exe Ravager.py

I've attached a bypass that works for the time being: Extract Ravager.cmd to the same folder as Ravager.exe and use Ravager.cmd to start the game.

IF you have used any other cracks/bypasses before on the same installation make sure to delete any .bat files and (files ending with) steam_appid.txt from the base directory.

Well this isn't working for me. It starts to load but then the program closes. FML I guess.

So can I or can I not impregnate the girls? And if so how?

When you come inside them, it sets the relevant flag. In later chapters, it checks for the flag, and does the pregnancy stuff if it's set.

There is no RNG. If they get a creampie, they're pregnant. With the exception of the elves. They operate under different rules.

Ok I don't want to join in to beat this dead horse.... but I'm going to anyway, because it's fun. Let's keep it 50+50 here. If they wanted Val and Naho to come around. They could write them to come around. The trope of mortal enemies to acquaintances, friends, lovers, etc., ain't new. It's been done before. Hell with Maelyes in the game, it's been done here. But the one key difference between them and her, is proper acknowledgement. All 3 of them have a bone to pick with the lizard bois. Could say Maelyes is the one with the biggest considering her many dragon sponsored struggle snuggles. But only she is allowed to be confronted with our (optional) contradictory actions.

You're given 3 chances to show her you're different. Each one having an impact in how she views you. You can save her in the forest from becoming a centaur cock sleeve. You can then spare her in your confrontation where she tries to kill you. You can then not only forgo channeling your ancestors, to engage in some forced loving. But you can also choose not to take her to pound town. Even when she begs for it. (And might I add, that shit was well done. Hit you right in the feels if you do it.) Then you're able play therapist/guru and talk it out with her. Which I guess technically make it 4 chances..... eh, we're all learning on this journey! Which ultimately culminates in her not only coming around. But becoming your personal (or shared) royal guard. Now that's an arc.

We get bumfuck all with the other two. They don't have an arc. You can become the Lizard Pope, bringing peace and prosperity to the kingdom! And even that ain't used. That's not on the character attitudes, that's not on the dark setting, that's a choice by the devs/writers. Which is fair enough. Not everyone will get that type of content.... I'm not bitter about it. I ain't mad cause my baby Naho won't acknowledge my love. I'll just keep her in the cage forever. Because they ain't exactly giving me much to work it!

Hear you—and yeah, the “mortal enemies to lovers” arc is a classic for a reason. But the reason it works—when it does work—is because it’s built on earned development. In Ravager, Maelys has that. She’s given space to confront her trauma, witness change in the dragon, and—if you play it right—form a shaky but believable bond. It’s still messy, dark, and emotionally raw, but it’s designed to have multiple points of divergence. Her arc acknowledges your past and builds toward transformation.


Now compare that to Naho and Valzira.


They aren’t just characters who hate you because of a misunderstanding or a single traumatic event. They hate you completely and consistently—and the writing reinforces that at every turn. Naho isn’t waiting for a heart-to-heart. She’s proud and unwavering in her belief that the dragon must be killed or scared away. Valzira? She’s brilliant, venomous, and only "values" you once she’s been literally mutilated into helplessness. These characters don't bend unless you break them. That’s not a failure of writing—that's the point.


Claiming they "don’t have arcs" is missing the narrative intention. They do have arcs—just not ones that end in redemption or mutual affection. Their arcs are defined by domination, degradation, and the consequences of the being in the dragon’s path. And that’s what makes them effective within the framework of Ravager. They’re boundary markers. Emotional and moral lines that, once crossed, can’t be uncrossed. Maelys can be healed. Naho and Valzira can only be subdued.


And yeah, the devs could give them the Maelys treatment—but it wouldn’t feel like a natural extension of their stories. It would feel like the game was trying to have it both ways: letting you be the tyrant and be loved by everyone you’ve destroyed. That kind of contradiction only works when the narrative builds room for it. With Naho and Valzira, it doesn’t. And trying to force it now would feel like retrofitting empathy onto characters who were deliberately deprived of that path.


So it’s not about "missing content" or "dev laziness"—it’s about narrative integrity. If Naho or Valzira did start to come around after everything you’ve done (or not done), it wouldn’t feel like an earned victory. It’d feel like narrative betrayal.


And honestly? That’s part of what makes them great. They hate you. And they stay hating you. That bitterness, that resistance? It gives Ravager its edge.




Sure they don't have as much weight and content as Maelys, but even if they did it would fit isn't going to end with them wanting forgive or befriend you. I personally, think it's a good thing. I do want more content for them but nothing that changes who they are.

Valzira is too struck in her ways and wouldn't give a shit if you are different from other dragons. You fucking had her beat up and kidnapped, fuck you. Also she kinda hates your kind in general. Mae was pushed to a point where even hatred was pointless to her and she just did what she did because that was her purpose, until the dragon gave her a new one. Naho would be the same, you took everything from her it doesn't matter if you are a good ruler or not. She's still your slave and if youdo get the option to free her, what the fuck is she going to do? Return to the pack that either serves you or got wiped out when you went to war against them? I don't see a creditable way of them doing the enemies to lovers and I honestly don't want to see it.



At the end of the day, I'm like 95% sure the writers won't do anything drastic to these characters. It just wouldn't fit the tone of all that's been established.

they've changed something yet again, confirmed. game closes on launch, tried every old solution that used to work, on the new version. i don't have any steam-anything whatsoever on my rigg, and new version refuses to launch.
well too bad (not for me, anyway), i'll unwatch this thread now. it's not worth anymore wracking my brain over this game, there are literally hundreds of other ones here i've yet to try out.

She’s brilliant, venomous, and only "values" you once she’s been literally mutilated into helplessness. These characters don't bend unless you break them. That’s not a failure of writing—that's the point.

Maelys isn't a character who just hates you because of a misunderstand or a single traumatic event either. She has been raped and hurt by multiple dragons over many long years. That's why she looks the way she does and can't heal properly. So just like the other two. She hates dragons and hates you by extension. I know what these characters are. And when did I say it's "a failure of writing"?

Claiming they "don’t have arcs" is missing the narrative intention. They do have arcs—just not ones that end in redemption or mutual affection. Their arcs are defined by domination, degradation, and the consequences of the being in the dragon’s path. And that’s what makes them effective within the framework of Ravager. They’re boundary markers. Emotional and moral lines that, once crossed, can’t be uncrossed. Maelys can be healed. Naho and Valzira can only be subdued.

I'm not missing anything because I'm fully aware of "narrative intention" when it comes to them. I literally said "that's a choice by the devs/writers " so what are you talking about? And it changes nothing of my point. But yes they do have arcs. I should've added two extra words to my comment of "like this" to clarify what I was referring to. Although I thought people would've understood what I was talking about, but alright. I think you're making what they are a little more grandiose then it actually is. But sure, if you see it that way.

And yeah, the devs could give them the Maelys treatment—but it wouldn’t feel like a natural extension of their stories. It would feel like the game was trying to have it both ways: letting you be the tyrant and be loved by everyone you’ve destroyed. That kind of contradiction only works when the narrative builds room for it. With Naho and Valzira, it doesn’t. And trying to force it now would feel like retrofitting empathy onto characters who were deliberately deprived of that path.

How would it not feel like a natural extension? You act like they have an actual core story. That isn't just stay in dungeon until you interact with them. Neither one of them has an actual defined path, outside of hating from the sidelines. They are just there, with things you can optionally do to them on the side. That doesn't currently go much of anywhere. Meaning they can easily be molded as needed, if needed. Or simply expanded upon, since the game ain't done.

So it’s not about "missing content" or "dev laziness"—it’s about narrative integrity. If Naho or Valzira did start to come around after everything you’ve done (or not done), it wouldn’t feel like an earned victory. It’d feel like narrative betrayal.


And honestly? That’s part of what makes them great. They hate you. And they stay hating you. That bitterness, that resistance? It gives Ravager its edge.

Who are you quoting? When did I say these things? Is it a past comment I made or something? And how would it not be an "earned victory" to get them to turn? It would require decent writing and effort/right choices on the player, if not half assed. I think we have two different definitions of what an earned victory is. But narrative betrayal? Why are you acting like these two characters are really written that deep? Come on now. And gives Ravager its edge? You must be joking. These two character barely move the needle. The entire game is where it gets its edge. Both of them could be removed and this game would continue easily with small tweaks. Like what is we talking about.

Sure they don't have as much weight and content as Maelys, but even if they did it would fit isn't going to end with them wanting forgive or befriend you. I personally, think it's a good thing. I do want more content for them but nothing that changes who they are.

Cool. Fair enough. Now that we're at the end. What does anything you've said thus far. Have to do with or change my original point, of whether they could be written different? Or whether it has been done before in general? Or done in this very game with Maelyes? And then with this last bit I highlighted.... so you agree. Then what was the point of any of this? If by the end you ultimately agree with with my point? You don't want to see it? Fair enough. But again.... what?

I've been using the exe file from this post: https://f95zone.to/threads/ravager-v5-2-4-4minutewarning.26476/post-16397195

if you just copy the exe file from this download into the folder and overwrite the one that's there it works fine. This download has the drm removed from the exe. Not sure if there's been other fixes since then, but this is the one that's worked for the past two versions for me.

Download the latest version from TERMINAL and it works with no need for a workaround and it doesn't open STEAM.

There a big difference between where Maelys starts compared to Valzira and Naho. Maelys is sad and disillusioned, and feels abandoned by her people and her goddess. So when you show her some care and concern, she feels validated and is receptive. Valzira and Naho, meanwhile, are living their lives and doing their thing, and then bad dragon comes along and completely upends all their shit for completely selfish reasons. They have no reason to even begin to like you, they were doing fine until you came along. You have nothing to offer them that they didn't already have until you took it from them. It's certainly possible to write them liking you for some reason, but it wouldn't make much sense.

Oh sweet baby jesuz, I know it ain't this difficult to understand. This was not a 1 for 1 comparison between Maelys and the other two. Neither Valzira nor Naho are a new concept. Both of their types of opposition has been done before. I then used Maelys as an example to show that they are more then capable, of doing it themselves. But the writers chose not to. I literally already addressed that point in my very 1st comment. I don't know what you or the other guy are trying to argue. Because nothing either of you have said. Contradicts my overall point.

Especially since by the end you both admit.

It's certainly possible to write them liking you for some reason, but it wouldn't make much sense.

That I am right.

Whether you think it would make sense or not. Is completely irrelevant to the point I was making. So again.... what?

 

[Blaq Mask]

They could write literally anything, that's not really an argument. Wether it would actually be any good is the issue. They could write mother marrying zizerix if they wanted to, it would just be really dumb based on their established characters. Like, what in Naho or Valzira's character or story would lead to them liking you, aside from enemies to lovers being a trope that exists? Or is this just another one of those dumb fan wanks that want something shoehorned into a story just because?

 

[GrandPaBrowning]

Hateboner. Hatefucking. Hatecuddling.

 

[Blaq Mask]

Hateboner. Hatefucking. Hatecuddling.

I don't think hate fucking applies to people you like lol.

 

[GrandPaBrowning]

I don't think hate fucking applies to people you like lol.

Allow me a bit of mental gymnastics - hatefucking is complicated.

It's not just hate, its a layered cocktail of detesting and attraction. The: "I HATE YOUR GUTS BUT I WANT YOUR DICK IN MINE" kind of situation. She hates him, but she also wants him, and she hates herself for wanting him, which gives the edge to that want, making it a circle (that would realistically lead to something bad, but we are talking smut fiction, so who cares).

And honestly? I can see the two hatebonerettes like this. It may make less sense that other options - but know what?

It would still be motherload of fun.

And besides, I just like to see some silly contrasting situations. It always gives extra edge to fantasy. No coincidence the mother of all overused hentai tropes - the ahegao - is so popular. There is no logic as to why orc penis inserted a few hundred times in elf girl's vagina would make her fall in love with itself. But it's the very nonsensical nature of the situation that gives it characteristic appeal. Perhaps, an escapism is the main driving force behind this effect, given it is anything but realistic. But regardless of that, it is undeniable that some silly porn antics that make little to no sense also make for a lot of fun.

Sometimes the logic just have to go for experience to improve.

 

[CuriousKiyo]

Like, what in Naho or Valzira's character or story would lead to them liking you, aside from enemies to lovers being a trope that exists?

Act 3: Dragon: "I'll let you go, as I was like 3 days old when I captured you. Please don't try to kill me."
Angry Lady: "Grrr, you're on thin ice Mr. Dragon! I'll let keep going with your conquest because [INSERT REASON HERE]."
Chapter 2: Angry Lady: "Well gee Mr. Dragon, your kingdom's prosperity is >4 and your mercy score is >5. Maybe I was wrong about you and you're net positive to the world."
Dragon: "I will now come visit your house. On the third one we have sex."
Or something like that.
