I really enjoyed this update. While I definitely enjoy lewd content, I tend to get more into a game if the characters and storyline are solid. I think there was a major upgrade in Laurie's character. Although she comes off initially as a possibly tougher sort by virtue of the clubs where she'd DJ and some of the people who tend to frequent those haunts, for a while Laurie started to check the boxes of many girl stereotypes: hanging on your every word, wanting to make sure she looks good, jealous of Sharon (rightfully or not). I get that some of this was due to the mythos in the game (pretty much every thrall longs for approval of their master, for instance), but I was starting to lose hope that she'd be anything more than a bit of backdrop behind everyone else. Fortunately, with this latest update, she proves that, human or not, frail or not, she can still be a badass.
Not even my favorite character, but I still found it harder to connect than I thought it needed to be. I'm happy there was some substance this release. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised by the outcome of the fight, but I'm still uncertain how a Nos being feral makes them more potent than otherwise. Wouldn't they have the same abilities in both cases? Wouldn't, then, a Nos able to think more clearly be more likely to be effective in combat? I'm probably overthinking things, and I don't think it goes to the extent of a plot device, but it seemed a bit odd to me.
