Okay, so since We're on the topic of the timeskip once more, Id like to ask/suggest (though I am well aware how big of an implied suggestion/change that is):
Wouldnt it be better from a Sexyness/Kink Perspective, to have the Timeskip only span ~8-9 Months?
1. all the Girls will be highly pregnant, which is kind of the optical Point/definition of the Pregnancy-thing.
2. If all the Girls have children then, its
- implausible for many of them to go about their daily business (Kind of a big Deal for Squad Leaders and especially Party Members. Are all the Girls to abandon their Kids or are we gonna have diaper-changing stations at Bonfires in the Dungeons? ^^
- kinda hard for Ryen. If his Kids are born already, it will be a hard Thing for him not to turn into the Patron Saint of Deadbeat Dads, being off Questing. Thats kind of a bad character development being forced on him, and kinda out of character, especially if you play/consider him as a Good Person.
3.But that also leads me to my biggest Worry: Their Storylines will probably be unsatisfactory in any way:
- Either we cant sleep with them (which I would assume, since the Timeskip is likely < 18 Yrs, and Im not into that anyway, so Id be very fine with that) in which case there will be a metric Ton of Dialogue and character Development for its own sake, with little payoff. There cant be that many useful Items/XP hidden in these Sidequests, especially since each of them will be fully optional and since they will be available in a huge number of Combinations, depending on who is pregnant, they will have to be independent from each other. Also, as much as I love your writing and characters, and consider this one of the most well written Projects on F95 - having Dozens of Characters with entirely optional Stories, and no CG Payoff, would be stretching it.
- or we can sleep with them. In which Case Ryen will become quite the monstrous character if you want to get 100%, and the Timeskip will have to be so far that not only the children will age (and the player, as opposed to the characters will have no Connections to them) but also many/all the Characters will have to change at least in appearance, if not Personality.
Long Story Short, I wanna say: Give us Bellies, not Brats
(If you need the timeskip to be longer than 9 Months for some Story Reasons, you could also easily explain the prolonged Pregancies by draconic Heritage. If they can get hundreds of Years old, there is no reason why their Pregnancy should last as long as that of a Human)
But, to repeat from the Start: I also know how friggin tall of an Ask that is, even while I don't know how much work has been invested into the Post-Timeskip stories and Characters. Just wanted to give my Thoughts on the Topic, and hope it is somehow fruitful
