The question is which dead god does the father want to bring back, Im suspecting the horned god, and since thats your nickname now, atleast with certain gods..., its yet another nail in his coffin.
The Horned God, eh? Who knows maybe I wanna go Dresden Files and Lovecraftian. Make the Fae the ‘Guardians’ of the Nevernever to keep out the ‘Outsiders’ Haha...Oh, wait! I have an evil image for this....

(There we go, Evil(Impish?) smiling Lillian for you all.)

Something I didnt mention, I redid basicly the entire 3rd chapter to get my "Official" save, and I came across a name again that felt, a little bit strange to me, In mythology a female Centaur is actually a Kentauride, or atleast it is in ancient greek, and being that the MC usually seems to use the older names to refer to Myths and gods where he can, I would have thought you'd have gone for the Ancient version, Centauride is used in more modern writings due to modern people changing things to fit how we like them..., but doesnt feel as "Myth'y".
That question was answered by yourself before I could get to it. It’s true. They are known as Kentaurides, but nowadays, most know them for their ‘modern’ name. I wasn’t sure the Players would know them by Kentaurides. And I didn’t want the Player to have to google the name as they might have done for the Mokoi.

So I am to blame for trying to ‘simplify’ it. Don’t worry, I won’t spare the rod next time…lol

I think you might be overestimating your audiences knowledge of mythology, initially I thought you were just spelling centaur oddly. :D

I haven’t gone too far into LoM (At the point where the MC is seting up a date with Emily.), but is it really just a copy of Jim Butcher’s work? Or does he do what I do, and puts his own twist on it?

Should I simplify it more then? I may have to add an explanation of said Myths...

His own twist, although one of the main theme is the Outsiders coming to finish what they couldn't do last time, and the horned god is a mayor player in the story

Certainly not from my point of view. Since I know your myths are largely based on actual mythological figures it just prompts me to look into them. Who knew porn games could be educational!

Didn't recognise Mokoi either (despite being Australian), but I thought you did a fine job of explaining why it represented a threat, so not knowing the details of it's backstory didn't detract from the game at all for me.

If you put too much mythological description in you may run the risk of scaring off casual players who don't like lots of text/details. Something like the codex Perverteer has in Tales From The Unending Void might be handy for those who don't want to investigate further elsewhere. That way those who don't care about it can just ignore it.

One way would be to use the more ancient version of the name and if needed then someone like Liz could ask "They're what?" And the MC or another myth could explain it for them which would also give you a moment to explain any difference yours might have that you feel needs explanation, most of the time both varients are similar enough that no explanation would be needed like Satyrs, fawns etc.

Id have hated to see Sammy turned into a Wendigo, which if you know their mythology you'd see the reason for that dark link... Since Wendigo's are theoretically Vampiric Orcs...

I actually thought about some other dark gods just now, and they would make Cthulu crap himself, as in "How the ???? am I being corrupted, I'm the mighty Cthulu-arrrrgh"
They were the big bad guys to the ancient Aztecs, Tamzumine, Demons of Twilight, Devourers, The Enemy..., not positive on the spelling, they're the reason the Aztechs feared the catholics, as their ancient symbol was the t, and from history the Aztechs did all their rituals and spiritual 'Games' to keep them at bay, but they were believed to return every 10,000 years... which would be... soon *Bogeyman jumps out*.
One friend of mine was Catholic until he researched and found out about them, and it decimated his faith

Don't know where your getting that idea from they are evil spirits from the folklore of the first nation Algonquian tribes. they are said to posses a human to influence them to invoke acts of murder, insatiable greed and cannibalism. I don't see how that is any thing like a vampiric orc.

Yes, in that tribes native lore your right, but in some sources that have orcs and elves etc they spread out the "Doom and gloom", so humans get vamps, orcs get wendigo, elves become banshee, ghouls are similar to the ones in game etc, thats why i mentioned it.

What you mean is work of fiction though, while the game lore is mostly based on a mythology mix.

This was a great update. The story continued to progress and we got some more character info and introductions. That said this update really set me on the course of just being done with some family ties. Mostly because of how i chose to play.

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

That ending though. This reunion can either go very bad(for Ophelia) or very weird depending on how the Dev decides to play here. MC winning technically leads to being chosen, i would guess, and i can't really see him losing to her at the power he's at so we'll have to see. Well then again the MC might be slightly weaken after some rooftop fun literally sucking the life out of him. Anyway, I'm eager to see how this plays out and for some Nessa time as i miss her already.

oh no, the amazons are yet to be properly fucked...the 3 amazons that the archon met are fiiiiiiiiiine, and there's a whole island full of them...if I was the archon, I'd take a vacation on amazon island and go full Oprah :you get a baby, you get a baby, everyone gets a baby!"
I like how you think!
