Finished playing the new stuff and am sharing my thoughts.
The under the hood changes are real. i remember it used to take several seconds to boot up mercy to do anything, now it happens quickly. I played through all the new content and even some old stuff and didn't experience any bugs.
Some tings are of course not unlocking in vault.
maxima has no real strip scene so that's not an issue, but her dancing scene remains locked for some reason regardless of what costume I have her in.
After months (a year?) of waiting Lois has more content, and surprise, it's her sex and anal scenes, both of which are mildly animated. I say mildly because it's a back and forth between Lex's body in two positions, not the full sliding motion from Harley or Tala's blowjobs. I found this very acceptable. The leash scene at the daily planet leading to a sex scene was a nice touch, I hope it's implemented more int he future to give certain girls who can only do leashwork sex scenes a la carte that break from the usual parameters (think villains in Lex's room mostly).
And for the record, I much prefer Lois' new portrait set. Seeing her with that gaping smile whenever I entered the room got creepy real fast.
Roulette was as ever limited but nice. Tala's yacht scenes work for me now, so I am happy about that.
I liked the Almerac scene but, and this may be a nitpick, I feel the servants sex scene shouldn't have panned down so much.
It's weird to see two servants kneeling on a bed normally, and lex seemingly standing on it with no curvature to the bed indicating he's standing just off the edge. I suspect this was due to reusing the 'bronzed standing' male body. The angle just look janky.
For a 'quality of life' update I'd say this did quite well indeed.
Do I think, outside of that, that it was enough content? Hmm...
2 mid animated scenes for Lois, full leash scene, sex and anal with Almerac servants, sex with Shiva - not going to lie, it's light on story vs most updates but it definitely had just as many new scenes as their good updates (an no, I do not count an update that includes and entire event like prison or the yacht as 'standard'). All in all, 8/10.
As an aside, I get people who no longer feel a 'wow factor' with each new update. We probably wont have it for anything except truly unique scene painted from the ground up without reusing poses, bodies, faces or angles. It's very unlikely. Still, I do enjoy what we get here.
