I keep getting an error "cant create an openGL 3.3 rendering context" what does this mean?
I can't say for sure, but it might mean that your video card won't run games made in Godot. Some "shader model 3" problem. Someone who knows more about it might be able to tell you for sure. If you're playing on a laptop with an actual graphics card in it, try right-clicking on the icon and running it with your other graphics card. At least on this laptop, the integrated graphics on the motherboard won't work.

Bestiality not inserted yet?
Bestiality is in, but only for the "sex interactions." You basically add up to three dogs or horses as extra participants in the interaction. They can only do certain things, and the text doesn't always align with the fact that they're animals. There's no CG bestiality and given the limited artwork in the game I don't suspect there will be any.

Interestingly, Strive adapted its sex interactions mechanics (as far as I can determine) from EraToHoK, which also included bestiality. I sorta wonder sometimes if the dev really wanted to make sure that was preserved, or if it was just something he thought the fans would want.

what happens when you accept the darkness monster deal?
Is that some new thing in the latest version? I'm still shy about updating. If I try it out I'll reply in the thread.

Doesn't Strive have a wiki somewhere? I thought I remembered reading about a wiki.

Two OSX notes: The portraits and bodies images mechanic is still broken. It's trying to use some file access permissions that are outside of the app sandbox and macOS no likey.

Second, adding abilities is broken, with no new magical abilities showing up and trying to use the abilities ie debilitate causes a crash.

Yeah. From the mansion screen, open the main menu. Open the options, then the "supporter" teb. Enter the code (fkfynroh) without the parentheses. You can then open the supporter panel for cheats.

Are you leaving town by yourself, or do you at least have your starting slave/companion with you in your party?

Hints...

1. Get Emily from the encounter in the Red Light District. Add her to your party. (A combat group can have up to 4 people, so the MC + 3 slaves.)
2. Don't fight bandits above level 1 to start with.
3. Only fight bandits that are molesting someone else when you meet them.
4. If the rescued stranger offers to reward you, ask for a material reward. You won't get as much of a reputation boost as asking for nothing, but the gold you'll get is priceless in the early game.
5. Have your slaves HUNT when you skip to the next day. This brings in food and supplies. You can sell excess supplies.

What exactly do I need to effectively fight on the Amber Road and beyond? Even if I gave my combat time assassion and bodyguard specializations I don't see it making that much of a difference. And the Elven Guards evade so damn much and do so much damage. I can't add anymore points into my party's agility...

I think that one spell--subdue?--reduces agility, which seems to reduce evade chances. Shackle might also do that, but I don't know for sure.

Just finish the game and unlock the endgame dungeon, how the hell i supposed to hunt/farm there? My party is pretty strong my gear is pretty decent but still die on 3-4 hit, try playing with debuff still nope. Is there any gear/stat enhancement (maxed out on lab stat)?

Again...

How to change the portrait or rename the slave girls ? it is even possible ?
I don't know if you can rename them except when they're first born or at the beginning of the game when you do PC and their first companion. But to change a girl's portrait just click on them in the roster go to customization should be the bottom left button and then full body image. Make sure to tick "assign both" on the pop up window that appears.

Also now that it dawned on me how do I grind Amberguard reputation? There doesn't appear to be bandits with hostages for me to beat up.

in the Elven forest (the map between the town with the magic order and amberguard) you can encounter beasts that attack travelers...defeat the monsters and ignore the travelers to increase Rep

Ive found once I have the following for the main character and one follower, the fights through the end of the main quest are pretty trivial:
  • Agility & Strength: 5+
  • Armor: 40% & 8+ (Umbar has a good cheap option once you've unlocked it)
  • Weapon: Either Elven Blades, or the Warhammer (again from Umbar)
  • Magic: 2+, w/ Heal & Acid Spit learned
Obviously, the higher the stats the better, but they do have diminishing returns. Once you're landing every hit, additional Agility doesn't help much, as it seems the mobs have a minimum chance to hit your team no matter what. Even with 9+ Agility, I'm still taking periodic hits.

Armor plays a bigger role eventually by decreasing damage taken by 10X in most cases. (Because of this, I've yet to figure out how to make the epic "Cursed Blades" even remotely usable.)

Armor is also why you'll need Warhammer & Acid Spit. Starting with Amberguard, some of those mobs will have armor so high you'll only tickle them if you don't have a way to negate it.

All of this seems to go out the window once you get to the new Dragon dungeon -- those mobs seems to go right through everyone I throw at them like paper.

Plate Mail is even better armor. 60% and 10 armor I think. This beauty + Warhammer will carry you to the end (with a little support of magic/skills). I've yet to try bonus content from this patch but word of advice: get yourself 3 Dragonkin asap and bring them everywhere you go. Sebastian will help with the former.
