It is already in the game. Two years of being a fan and there is never art of the game before the narrative. The narrative seems to always come first, but then no one fuckin' reads the story and they are like "new event when?" Feels like it happens literally every release.

I swear 95% of this player-base doesn't know the story even happens unless there is art of it.




The dark elves in the game are basically cookie cut straight out of Forgotten Realms so you are in luck. Multiple sects all vying for power. Female dominated society. A Menagerie of slavery.

They show up briefly in Draith's arc, a one-off event with Jezera, and part of the Azaryl Ball. Presumably they will be a bigger part of the story in future acts- but the ground-work was already laid out both by the game and by their per-existing stereotypes which SoC has leaned heavily into already.

Ah, well, I've never encountered the scene in question. Does it require a corrupted Rowan? As I typically don't take that path with him.

Opal Games looks like they're from the same event; seems to be an upcoming anal scene.

What limits? I didn't see any.

My critique is valid for what is there right now, which is a lot - the game has been out and updated for a while. Nobody can say what happens later, but too little too late as far as I'm concerned. The dude who made Four Elements Trainer didn't need this excuse because he released good content from the jump.

Forgive me please for going off-topic for a moment, but I am really curious about the character on your avatar. That's Maria from Umineko, right?

I promise I won't derail this thread.

You‘re right; some races/monsters - like Mind Flayers, Beholders, Yuan-Ti, etc. - are the intellectual property of and thus trademarked by DnD, aka. WotC (Hasbro).

Pretty sure Drow for Draith is safe to use, whereas Duergar for Skordred isn't.

Many indie devs tend to give their fantasy races new names a) to create their own world, b) because they don't want Hasbro to sue their asses.

Chaos Dwarfs and Dragon Ogres are from Warhammer Fantasy mate.And they should be able to use the word Duergar as Duergar/Bogles are from English Folklore.

I didn't mention either of them in my original comment. Why are you talking about them, mate? :WaitWhat:

I was mistaken; they can use "Duergar" as it isn't trademarked. I just looked it up.

I'll end this discussion now as this thread is neither the place for it nor do I want to get smitten by a mod's OT-banhammer. :WeSmart: :KEK:

Oh sorry mate I did not mean to offend or anger you.Because you talked about trademarked races I wanted to point out that the game already has races that might be trademarked.

Both Chaos Dwarfs and Dragon Ogres are from Warhammer Fantasy franchise which belongs to Games Workshop.
I guess they can use Chaos Dwarfs as it is essentially 2 random words put together.

Dragon Ogres however is a Warhammer specific race that is probably trademarked.In the latest update they changed the race to Shaggoth which is also Warhammer related.I guess they can use the word Shaggoth as it is not the full trademarked name which is Dragon Ogre Shaggoth.

In the case of Duergar as it is a creature from folklore it cant really be trademarked.Just like how both DC and Marvel franchises can use the character of Hercules.
Just like I said earlier I didnt mean to offend you I tried to shorten my post which might have been seen as aggressive.Again sorry about that.

I hope there is a lot more Greyhide content soon, I want an update only focused on more content and scenes with him (and Alexia, together).

I'd have been fine with the Andras NTR route if he didn't become an asshole to Alexia as soon as he finally starting getting sexual with her, if he stayed nice to her forever it would be a lot better, that's what Alexia started faling for after all.

I really dislike the strategy aspect, any way to just skip it all and just have it be a VN?
