In the Sanskrit epics of India there are virtuous demons. One of the heroes (an incarnation of the god of wind) even married a demoness. So maybe there can be faithful succubiBased on my understanding of the species, "monogamous succubus" is an oxymoron.
It's literally COMPLETELY optional, and you won't even see the options unless you cater your playthrough towards that kind of content, what are you even whining about? Also speak for yourself, I for one enjoy Netorase from time to time, especially if done right. I really dislike Netorare, but guess what, that won't be in the game anyways, and the Netorase is again, COMPLETELY OPTIONAL.
This is insightful, and upon further thinking - the game emphasizes a first person view much more often than other games which I like; also means less work for dev with split protag
, but not a criticism, it's smart design, as long as it's balanced with some third person so you don't feel like you have no sense of self. man of culture. If I could search tags by Swinging NOT netorare i would, but that gets you like 1-2 pages only.Well said, in regards to the succubus I would add that I feel like part of the struggle with monogamy for them stems from the trope of potentially killing their partner if they solely feed of them cause it either permanently or at least temporarily drains their life force & often enough that's either something the succubus can't prevent from happening or essential to keep themselves alive.Sure, the monogamy wouldn't fit with the most common depictions of succubi.
But authors aren't forced to adhere to that - look at how many related but different portrayals of various fantasy creatures there are - whether it's elves (immortal or long-lived, first-born or refugees from another world, generally good or just arrogant (or both), inherently magical or just as magical as humans) and dwarves (sure, short - but can they use magic or are they inherently anti-magic? Do they have guns? Are they primarily driven by greed, grudges, vows or more similar to humans? Do dwarven women always have beards?) or vampires and werewolves (compare world of darkness with various other systems/settings).
The common conception of the creatures provides a shared basic idea from which an author can then borrow and adapt, changing aspects so that they fit their vision - relying on the shared understanding to ensure the audience has a general picture and expectation, and then introduce their own variations and twists on top of that. (If I tell you you play a xzaragar, that won't do anything for you. If I tell you you play an orc, you've got basic idea - that idea might be partially wrong depending if we're talking Middleearth or Shadowrun, but subverting those expectations is also fun).
Also, I recall a succubus in a recent CRPG that can become monogamous, if that counts.
Anyway, in the hope of getting back a bit from the derailment of both the whining about future optional tags and the reactions to that... on reflection, the switching of PoVs works really well - the first person with visible body helps to convey a physicality and "you being the character", while the occasional third-person views give a good idea of who/what your protagonist is and scene-setting - the last scene of the update for example wouldn't work nearly as well in first person in my opinion (and at least for the female protagonist they also do a good job communicating pleasure).
I like hearing that, no pressure but if you decide to do it that would be great, or (but I won't try to make an argument for it if you don't feel like going that route) it would be even better if Valerie could (either temporarily or permanently) become the Futa to top the player. It would be a sweet pay-off for choosing to preferring her being the more dominant one (if that choice is supposed to have that sort of impact, it might be just a false assumption on my end!)An option later in the story for a female MC to transform into a futanari is something I think could be interesting.
Of course, this would be clearly communicated to the player and easily avoidable, so people who aren't interested in this type of content would not be forced into anything.
Monogamy is certainly rare for succubi in Rebel Duet, but not exactly unheard of either. Valerie is a particularly unique succubus, since she chose to bind her soul with the protagonist at the cost of eternal exile. Since succubi can only enter this contract with one human, she was already committed to the MC from the very start.
That's so bloody adorable, must protect at all costs!
(I like the protagonist actually having similar thoughts)
Maybe it is pretty stupid question, but looks like our succubi trying to make MC happy at all costs. Are there cute wedding epilogues planned?
They are effectively married already. The soul bind is a much stronger commitment than a marriage after all. But I wouldn't mind if they held a wedding as well.
That's a really good point! Well but it would still be almost unacceptably cute to have a proper, overly sentimental and cheesy wedding with aaaall the good stuff. Pretty dresses, cake, roses...all those things for the most lovable succubus in existence!They are effectively married already. The soul bind is a much stronger commitment than a marriage after all. But I wouldn't mind if they held a wedding as well.
This is definitely a good approach for this type of content and relationship, I'm always glad to have options in games for this type of relationship. Also, I really find the MC and Valerie's relationship super cute and their bond is already stronger than most out there.Monogamy is certainly rare for succubi in Rebel Duet, but not exactly unheard of either.

She's open to trying new things at the MC's request - especially if it would make him/her happy - but by default she's only interested in the MC and will not do anything otherwise unless you specifically ask her to.
If the MC wants to sleep around, Valerie can be understanding - and even find it exciting in some cases - as long as it makes the MC happy and they don't neglect Valerie as a result. There are some characters that Valerie will be upset about you sleeping with, however.
I imagine MC and Valerie in very cute and fluffy Disney-esque wedding outfits, kissing each other with only their upper bodies in the frame. Then image zooms out and it turns out they are stepping on a defeated witch and the whole scene is a bloody mess.
I haven't played too far, stopped when I realized how damn good this is & that I'd rather play when I really got some time to get lost in the game, but this sounds as if witches aren't very nice in this game?I imagine MC and Valerie in very cute and fluffy Disney-esque wedding outfits, kissing each other with only their upper bodies in the frame.

Just the one witch. I won't say more to not spoil anything.I haven't played too far, stopped when I realized how damn good this is & that I'd rather play when I really got some time to get lost in the game, but this sounds as if witches aren't very nice in this game?
But I need Valerie and the MC to both wear the most over-the-top dresses available & forge a bond that's also widely accepted in the world, no matter if their soul bond is much more meaningful anyway.
Thanks! Now I'm really curious because that means the game also goes in a different direction that what I assumed thus far, very interesting for sure.
Just imagine our succubi wearing cute wedding dress... Or they could come back on earth, and MC will tease everyone with his/her cute wife.They are effectively married already. The soul bind is a much stronger commitment than a marriage after all. But I wouldn't mind if they held a wedding as well.
MC: Hey boss! Meet my wife!
Yeah I'm really curious if we will ever see them go to earth, and whether it's permanent or just to visit. Even if we do, that will probably be forever away.
Anyway she should something about Joline. Maybe make her as mc's personal slave, or just passionately kiss mc in front of everyone.
