It feels like it will be like in the devs first game and the manwhore path will lead to you getting the choice at some point (for a single LI and one or multiple variations of throuples but no harem) and all girls will be fine with it and get over it and everything will be good.

I dont reaaaallly like this approach but im pretty sure it will be like that again.
Oh yeah, I see, The Author... Played it a hundred years ago. Makes sense.

So I still didn't figure it out, does the manwhore path lead to a harem, a threesome, or complete failure?

So as long as you haven't committed to anyone and are only having sex with women that generally get along, should be fine until you eventually need to pick a solo or throuple (of which the dev has said there will be two).

Again, I agree in part, but not in depth with your assessment. Els is a noblewoman who is heir to her family's roles, and takes that seriously. She very much does judge herself from that perspective. Did you forget that?

As far as Val goes, that "playing the heel" with women is a reaction to the public perceptions caused by his bitch ex-gf painting him that way in the public media. He seems to have been very hurt by that, and acting this way (seeing as we both believe that it's not his nature), is purely defense mechanism to keep potential LIs from getting too close. Again, this is a different aspect of his behavior being affected by public perceptions.

In my game, I chose the hero route in the ring, not the heel route, mostly because I liked how those choices impacted Kana's and Alistair's relationships. I didn't think that promoting the rivalry between Val and Alistair made sense in the context of their wartime relationship. I also really liked Kana's perspective as someone who was at the top of her sport.



I agree that they're perfect for each other. I am most fond of Els and Kana as LIs in this game. I don't see where you get anything about Frenzy in Els persona or background. I don't think that's even been hinted at. It's quite possible, as those who hold control the tightest often do so because of what they believe can be released without it. If you've ever been in a real fight, there's no such thing as total control of a situation. There's always unexpected variables that can happen (though this is less likely in a VN, unless the writer wants that to happen). You never know if the little punk you're facing off against isn't a master martial artist, or has a well concealed weapon, of if they have friends watching from out of sight, or are kids of the local policeman. Els had done a tactical analysis, and definitely was fighting from that space. In a fight, everyone is trying to win.
Yes, she takes her role as a noble and heir apparent seriously, however she's not happy with it. Everything she has, except the military service record, comes with an asterisk. They are all somehow tied with her being noble or wealthy. She's not happy about her family sponsoring the vet centre. She doesn't defy it, because it's the right thing to do, but she definitely doesn't like it. And I doubt it very much that she was talking about the nobilty or heirdom when she said "legacy" to Valentine's question about what she wants.

Valentine was a heel long before meeting Verity screwed him over. It started in highschool and he perfected it somewhere between Zaina and MMA. Probably because of Zaina's death, he was a fish in the barrel while in Southeast Asia. And he was always popular with girls, even in highschool. He's handsome, he's literally 2 metres tall. He's certainly strong and dangerous. What choice did Asian women have, other than becoming his chew toy? Being seen as this puts his mind at ease. Verity's lies was just a convinience for Valentine on that front. Sure, he didn't like it while it was happening, but he's certainly cool with the result. It drives certain kind of women to his bed after all. And those who are closest to him know that front. Els complain about "the wall" while in the pool. Viridiana told something like "he was always the sweetest but good at hiding himself" on multple occasions. Even Kana realised that Verity screwed him. So that heel image goes way deeper than you think.

I play with walkthrough mode. I agree with you that antagonising Alistair wouldn't sit right with Valentine, after all they've been through. I go after Kana only in my harem game, which isn't my main, Els is. But I go infamy as much as possible, without ruining the critical stats of close ones. Alistair, friendship/rivalry. Els trust/secrecy. Viridiana acceptance/grief. Amrit confidence. Ines desire to protect. Kana injury. Now these are the real stats for each LI. And even though these go hand in hand with love most of the time, I try to lower the love stats of LI's I'm not interested while keeping critical stats as high as possible.

I am very fond of Els, because I like her to myself, not Valentine, but real me. I've been through with those issues. I also don't fight anymore because of the dangers of street fights, though certainly not as well as Valentine. Els is very controlled and calculating, in a not so bad way, that makes her pent up frequently, like you put it "those who hold control the tightest..." However, I didn't mean controlling the situation but one's own actions. Els try to control her own actions, but certainly not the situation so it may get out of hand easily. Val on the other hand can control that situation quite well, even in the ring, so he excelled on control front. Els watching him in the octagon, seeing with her own eyes that he is super chill and in total control, also helped her keeping calm in the beach fight. I believe she trusts him more than she trusts herself in a fight. She knew Val had her back through and through. She was confident that she could beat that punk, for sure. But she also had Valentine to lean on if things got out of hand. While Valentine was as cool and collected as he was walking in a park.

That spoiler screams at me not to fuck Trinity if given the opportunity on a Kana path. Though right now it's hard to see Trinity even offering something like that. I can't think of anyone else with a hate relationship at the moment. Vi/Els have mutual respect, Ines/Amrit have banter but are friends.

yeah she is the only one I can think of too. Maybe Lucyna down the line? She had some flirty vibes (nothing overt though). Not that I would consider it in any case.

What a complicated game. So can I fuck Katie Afton or not? I won't hurt anyone's feelings, will I?

it's really not that complicated. Feel free to fuck around. Until now the only girl that could potentially become a conflict is Tracy (with Kana), but there is barely any content with her anyway so maybe in the future. I generally don't go for side-girls as it's just a waste of time outside of pretty renders (Katie, Serena, ring-girls I can't recall the name of etc.)

I thought about Lucyna too when i read the comment. But she seems rather friendly towards valentine and kinda only says good things about amrit too so dunno

kana seems to be reconciling with blonde bitch too

Bro, you don't know what you're talking about! How can Katie or Serena be a waste of renders, they're both great. The only thing that annoys me is that Serena and Elspeth are besties and neither of them can help but tell the other how they spend their time with Valentine. I can't believe they are really okay with that. It's a trap!

I didn't say waste of renders, just waste of time (for me personally), since nothing worthwhile will come of it at the end. I generally don't do side-girl content in most games for the same reason.

regardless of how friendly she is with Valentine, Amrit wouldn't take it well, so that's a no-go for me. They are rivals, kinda like Trin and Kana.

Why does no one consider the feelings of manwhore players? Lots of lewdable side girls are exactly what we play for! :Kappa:
Okay, okay, I agree, we need more Els.

EDIT: I mean manwhore players not just male!!! :KEK:

Its kinda sad that Els whole trauma (and probably change of character) regarding the military service roots from a misunderstanding.

She felt doubted and challanged while in truth her dad just didnt wanted his girl (and favorite) having to go through the stuff he did went through but never meant to doubt her ability or aptitude.

Hello my lovely people, another week another update. The above render was just one of the the ones I whipped up for Valentines day last week. I ended up putting it in the render vault, but I figure one or two people will enjoy it so why not, it's posted.
Weekly numbers here, We have about 3317 rendered of the 3627 posed. Finished up that last big multi person update so now it's mostly just smaller scenes that need to be finished up. I do also have two scenes that as I'm looking at them again I'm not really happy with them so I'll probably plonk away at those two, they're fairly short though so should be an easy and quick process.
Anims just waiting on those last stills and then they'll be the last parts of the update I start cracking away at.
Not much else this week. I'll be out of commission for the next day or so, I'm housesitting for some folks for the next few weeks so I have to pack up all my shit and move it over there. Also I'll be having another art stream for Blue Belts and up this Sunday the 23rd at 1pm Pacific time, assume there will be spoilers for something. Not sure exactly what yet.
Thank you as always for the support, and I hope you have a wonderful week.
Sláinte!
