yea that way of looking at things is valid too, but the main problem is that it limits the type of characters you can roleplay. Im sure there were Nazi officers like Rowan, but there is still a limit to how much you can push this type of char and still make it believable.

Rowan is an actual protagonist as opposed to a blank slate. There are decisions you can make about him and his nature. About his fetishes, about his willingness to indulge in utilitarian choices. There is no protagonist so full you can't project anything to him. That said, on the spectrum of identification, Rowan is a more distinct character with more distinct motivations then most similar games feature. This is not a bug. This is a feature.

According to my history lessons, survivors recollections and some research on my own, the vast majority was actually thinking that.
The problem is, nearly no-one sees himself as bad or misguided. They either see themselves as people who have to
make harsh decisions because of the harsh circumstances or as people who generally want the best for "the people".

To see yourself as evil you need to truly accept a set of morality and ethic rules and then act in opposition of the morals you believe in yourself.

I think it is harder to create a believable character who seems himself as evil than to create a believable character who sees himself as a victim of circumstances who rationalizes his atrocities away.
Rowan is human and not some sort of demon. (And there are many works of literature who say that the fallen
angels themselves do not believe that they are evil...)

Sorry for the long post, but the matter of evil, morality and self-view in media is very fascinating for me ^_^

Freezes on mac version after Helayna sparring session "Rowan didn't have the heart to answer her." There is an "Exception: Possible infinite loop."

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
Exception: Possible infinite loop.

@JadeKitten I'm sorry to hear that. Please be on the look out for Lord Arioch's upcoming game Jessica's Curse. That one will have a female protaganist!

Anyone have access to the the shaya dance image that got posted on the Dev's site recently? If so, would you mind sharing it with your fellow peg-legged parrot aficionados? :^)

Hello, I'm really keen on the workaround for this error, I can't progress without solving it.

@JadeKittenLord Arioch's upcoming game Jessica's Curse. That one will have a female protaganist!
"my desire to have a large number of animations, full voice acting, and more"
"I'm working with a talented cast of ladies can act as convincingly as they can portray sexual scenes (and let me tell you, finding VA's who can act AND do adult work is hard!)"

Who is this game aimed at exactly? Why is voice acting a selling point?

This insistence on VA's is a serious problem, honestly. It's a lotta money spent because some people just can't use their imagination for character voices.
