update was usual aka shortish and plot advanced just a bit but still was good.

With regard to the frequency of updates, it's to each their own. Personally, I like the frequent update even it they are relatively small, because it's easier for me to maintain continuity. Of course I'm old as dirt with a bad memory so a large update once every several months causes me difficulty remembering what was going on and my previous choices.
Like I said to each their own. This way you can play every 3rd update, or whatever works best for you, and I can play each one before I forget what's going on...

This is a common comment on several games that update frequently, but the updates are perceived as small.
When you are given choices in how to handle things, even a single choice, you can effectively double the amount of scripted paths in your game. So with the last update there were seven possible outcomes (I believe...when I was editing the text a lot of it runs together) so it becomes more complicated to test and to QC.
LikesBlondes and Ptolemy want to keep their players engaged and their method of doing that is regular updates. A lot of us, myself included, are very engaged.
Some folks seem to prefer the long waits that go with other titles such as for instance City of Broken Dreamers or Being a DIK. Both of those games do massive updates, but do them very infrequently. Some folks like that. Some do not.
Personally I prefer the method our developers are pursuing in their work here. It keeps us guessing, reading, and yeah, replaying, just to make sure we got all the info we need to "Think" we know what is going on.
Anyhow, Peace and happy All Hollow's Eve!

Does your character have the Whisper power?
I know that is probably a silly question, but I need to ask.
Peace
Thanks Arigon.
Yes, I have the Whisper power. I don't have the Claws one, although it seems unrelated here...
BTW, I still haven't understood if there's a sort of limit for the powers... I mean, the way they are presented heavily imply, to me, the fact that you have to choose if get it or not, because there's so much "slots" available overall... Or else why not simply get them without prompts and that's it. But if this is the case, not even knowing how many powers I can get at the end, make the choice simply a blind shot in the dark...
First chapter has quite a few rng moments to acquire power points. if you want to have max power better to use a walkthrough or somebodys save if you want to have all power play through. This is best way to get all special powers.

Great game, I'm always down for these heavily story driven VNs.. Would've been better with a lil more romance and control tho, like there's alot of females being introduced but neither of em are LIs for the MC or even just side character for him to have "fun" with, we also don't have any options really it's more kinetic. I don't recall any lewd scenes in this game since episode 1 aside from the time we could choose to minipulate the cop chick into having sex with you while her kids are sleeping, but that's practically rape. I'm not even sure what's going on with Sharon, it feels like MC and her are building some kind relationship but there's no progression and the rest of the chicks, the MC has no interest in them and treats them like shit, with the exception of Laurie of course. There's just so much that could've been done with the characters, the the hunter chick could've been an LI(you know the enemies to lovers trope) , Laurie and Sharon are perfect LIs and Astrid could've been an Li for a dark path, like if we could make our MC evil.

Well, to break your heart: You can have sex with Carmen. Also I count her as one of the five LI.

Cant really call them LIs when there's barely any romance story around them involving MC.. 99% of Sharon's scenes with MC are just main story stuff, there's barely any scenes with Laurie or Astrid and so far 90% of Carmen's scenes with MC is him being a dick towards her.. But clearly you played it further than I have seeing that you said MC does have sex with her. there's another girl, a pharmacist or something, don't know much about her cause thats where I'm currently at.

No no no
She is a pet at best. I will not have a love interest that has tried to have me and mine killed. Fuck that. Thankfully we are not forced to be nice to her

Man, it seems like forever since Calisto said that she was coming for a visit. I've really been waiting for that encounter. I hope it's not next year at the end of the damn episode when she finally decides get off her sweet ass, and visits the mc. Even with the current girls surrounding the mc, Christmas without mommy would be too lonely.

Love Interest is not the same as sex partner, particularly in the take on the vampire condition that the developers are using. If you are familiar with Vampire the Masquerade, then you can get some insight. It is not a direct port over in terms of lore though.
Sex wise, the vampires of Rebirth have to meet the *for the males anyway* condition of full up on blood. Next the actual desire has to be there. Intimacy through sharing blood is more intense. I get it that you are looking for lewd scenes, but that is simply not what this story is about. There are plenty of Asian vampire and succubus type "games" out there that will fill that need.
Rebirth is more of a vampire story with the spice of the love interests and your grab for power. It is definitely not kinetic as the story results are very different based on selections you make even back in Chapter One.
The definite love interests are-
Calisto- confirmed
Sharon- confirmed
Laurie- confirmed
Ivy- confirmed
The fifth and final one is hard to be 100% sure on, unless you actually know whatever you think you might know, and the best bet is Carmen.
Mirri is not, Astrid is not- both confirmed.
Sigh and Sad- Zephir is not........ though I have asked repeatedly. Often... and made no secret of it.
Our Goddess Inanna may be a Love Interest IF Carmen is not, and that is really the thing of it. We have met all the love interests that will be in this story. Whether there are more who show in future works by the guys, who knows. -Confirmed.
So for this story, you have to make choices that affect your relationships with the girls, your powers, and possibly some other "things" to be revealed soonish.
The developers have worked out a pretty complicated mythology for all of this, and are doing a fine job of keeping the group here and other fans guessing.
I hope you continue to enjoy the story!
Peace
So let us all be clear. This game must be evaluated on its own, independently of any material not presented with in it. This means that the only "lore" from Vampire the Masquerade is the lore that the game presents as its own. This means that, in the absence of that presentation, we can only evaluate the potential relationships based on what is presented in the game.
So it comes down to this. Regardless of the continual claims that this is a vampire story and not a 'porn" game (to put it differently a game with a focus on the intimate sexual interaction between the MC and the various female characters), the simple truth of this storyline is that the writers continue to dangle hot women before us, have one of the most visible sleep naked beside us every night, and tease us relentlessly, apparently with no intention of ever making her available to us.
Can't have it both ways. Either these various stunningly attractive women are available for sexual (and hopefully emotional) interaction or they are not. If they are not then they are not love interests, because they are not available to be loved. Pretty damn black and white.
I've said this before. If you don't want to have the sexual aspects in this VN because you want a sexless vampire story then stop dangling the women, who you will not let us be with, before us. End all the flirting and nudity. Quit yanking our "chain". In what 2 and a half years, 2 and a half seasons, there have been fewer than 5 possibly 4 sexual encounters for the MC? Lose the tags your game hasn't delivered on and go forward.
The writing isn't bad, actually, while I find the pace slow, the writing is pretty solid. The technical aspects are top notch. Just quit advertising what is becoming ever more clear you have no intention of actually delivering.
