Imagine you barely have any butter left, but you have a large piece of bread. That's this game. Every fetish is barely touched upon and spread out widely over too many kinks.

Bilbo said it best. "I feel thin, like butter scraped over too much bread." That's Seeds of Chaos.

Hopefully in there next game, they won't make A MILLION characters, and tone down the voyeur aspect(watching tons of inconsequential characters having sex, when the same effort could've been spent on creating porn art for the MC and main characters), and instead focus on a few characters, going deep into getting to know them, and having deep sexual kinks with them.

Still, surprisingly, people subscribe to their Patreon, despite only getting little of what they enjoy, so that's interesting, good for them!

The exploration map was overkill. They could just showed a map and you left click where you want to go. Going from hex to hex adds NOTHING, except take up massive development time. If they want to preserve the element of surprise during exploration, they could've adopted Dragon Age Origins style of map exploration.

There are several kinks in game that get sufficient attention. Cheating, Corruption, and Submissiveness. (Though I'm sure fans of those kinks will say otherwise.)

Like 85% of the content has elements of cheating in them.

Almost every character has a corruption route/routes that are more fleshed out than any of their other content, and the setting just really, really fits being a submissive bitch well (for both MCs).

Alexia is a doormat.

Rowan is such an absolute bitch-boy compared to the other characters; sexually weaker, physically smaller and weaker, magically weaker, even intellectually weaker depending on the writer. Part of this relates to the writers tending to focus on major characters (who tend to be better that other people); but it is mostly irrelevant how it is the case since even though Rowan might have characters he is superior to, he interacts with them meaningfully so rarely that the bulk of the narrative focus is on how inferior he is.

But yeah....if you are looking for the things you personally like to get attention and it isn't within the scope of those 3 things you might as well give up. I basically have. I used to be a mega fan of SoC- but where it is heading just feels bleak and underwhelming at this point; I've checked out a bit.

Game is best suited for bisexual submissives with a cheating kink and a corruption kink. If you aren't that; most of the game's sexual content is just antagonism.

If you are only some of that your pie slice gets smaller. Same with other kinks ad infinitum.

Funny you'd say so, when at the same time he can also look the most powerful mage in the game in the eye and just break like a twig her pathetic attempts at dominating him. Or literally beat into submission edgelord elf swordmaster. That's sure some signs of a bitch-boi with nothing going for him. Also, while some characters may be physically bigger and/or stronger they still get defeated by Rowan pretty easily because hey, these happen not to be also intellectually superior but quite the opposite. Andras being an exception because hey, plot armor.

Just checked recent poll on
You must be registered to see the links
. And have some takeaways from it:

"36% of people happy with goblin plot line"

Ouch, only one third of people are happy with goblins
And it will not be so bad if not the follow up information.

"61% are glad we are adding the Fae plotline"

double ouch
I remember commenting that goblin plotline has completely different vibe then other parts of the game and it seem not only me noticed that.
PS "The vast majority also choose to play with NTR turned on (91.9%)."
Confirming the fact that Ntr haters are loud minority, as i suspected.

When the NTR is basically the point of a game/story, I'll avoid that game/story like the plague. That's not the case here, since it's optional content that's pretty easy to avoid without turning it off.

Last time I checked this I was told even if you turned ntr off you could still share the wife, is that still the case or do you need ntr on for sharing as well?

Not really, after SpeedApple's stealth NTR addition to Jiikage's Rising, i've been turning on NTR to shut it down when the option appears, can't really trust the ones behind the story since they'll try to pull a fast on you.

Also, kind of odd to not see some Pirates of the Caribbean or Lord of the Rings jokes considering that Nasim resembles Orlando Bloom.

I think you can probably chalk the Goblin storyline bit down to the fact that people are bummed that the giant titted goblin queen lady hasn't done anything yet, it's lacking in artwork, and it's moving slowly. Give it a few updates and poll again and I'd say the approval ratings will be higher.

I honestly think she couldn't care about him cheating, she's just jealous that they're not giving her the attention

To be fair the Best Succubus gives Alexia even more attention than she gives Rowan. That gif is misleading :v
