i played the game like 2-3 months ago so i forget some stuff and i dont think it was mentioned but still gona ask. do we (yet) as players know how long ago the characters formed their gang and how that happened ?
your comment made me think of reservoir dogs, hateful eight (im like tarantino stuff) the good the bad the ugly, you know stuff where characters dont trust each other and you never know can happen 10 seconds later.
It's not explicit in the game how long the team has been together, since I haven't really seen an opportunity to fit that kind of exposition into the dialogue smoothly, but there are a few scenes where it's possible to piece it together. Glasha and Roman have known each other for years and form the core team. Roman was approached with the job, and he brought Glasha in since they almost always work together. Markus was also hired by their employer, and Roman doesn't know him very well at all. Finally Crow was hired purely as a guide to the region, to make sure they didn't end up lost in the woods, so she's also more or less a stranger. There's layers to it which mean the whole thing can go south, because every single merc is in this job for a different reason, but I won't spoil the fun by going into it all here.
I'm mostly responding because i think it's the polite thing to do, not because i have anything noteworthy to add.
First, thanks for answering my critique/open air mutterings. Secondly with your explanation, of your usage of 'show don't tell', and with the glance at the content to come. You have persuaded me off the invalidity of my initial post. I can only reiterate part of the post. I'm looking forward to the next release.
Hey I love answering feedback. Constructive criticism is always appreciated, and I'll admit that if we didn't switch up the dynamic as the game progresses then you would be totally right. Hopefully future content can deliver on your expectations.
Also I hope there will be a Glasha and Roman ending.
Glasha/Roman content is actually the hardest to write because of the stuff I mentioned above. They go
way back, so it's kind of hard to make them fuck. Duski and I are constantly tossing scene ideas around for these two to make it work, and nothing has stuck yet (we came close with a very dominating Carmen/Roman/Glasha threeway, but it bordered on noncon and we didn't want to risk it with Patreon's new rules). Then again, we originally had no intention of letting Crow be dominating in any route, but after pitching some ideas there is now a route where that's possible.
So the short answer is, if you want Glasha/Roman endings, pitch us some scene ideas that would make two long time allies end up fucking. Any that I like I can put to a vote and we'll see what sticks.
