So you rather want to remove all sex content not tied to the story itself? Because it does no sense to have the number of sex scenes currently in Pandora splattered into the story with no context. And it would make no sense what so ever to try make the story fit around all these scenes, or just turn the story into a clusterfuck of one lewd scene after the other. The purpose of these random scenes is just that random events taken place around the ship.
It's obviously too late now, but yes, an optimal situation from the very beginning would have been the Pandora system to not even exist.
Instead you got fewer (but longer) sex scenes, all linked to the story.
That's what Studio Fow is aiming for with the final reward of their "loyalty quests" but this will be only 1 cinematic for each girl.
My preference would be to have sex scenes always linked to the story and used as rewards for completing missions or reaching some point of the main quest.
It could be like :
- You recruit the girl : 1 sex scene
- You complete a side-quest mission related to the girl : 1 sex scene
- You reach a certain point of the main quest in which the girl is important : 1 sex scene
And so at the end it looks like maybe 5 (1 - 2 minutes) sex scenes for each girl instead of a huge numbers of loops. At the end you got the same amount of sex content, but it's just concentrated on fewer scenes.
Of course you get way less diversity regarding sex content, and it will be necessary to make choice for each girl. But it could also be a good way to reinforce the personality of each girl, like :
- Lily having 3 of her 5 scenes involving Mantic.
- Ela having mostly anal content
- Killission being on top on most of her sex scenes
So on, so on...
and you conclude the game with a 5 minutes reverse Gangbang scene involving the MC and his whole harem of course.
That would be my idea of how sex content should be implemented into the game.
