I'm trying to play without mods for the first time ever and the grind is genuinely insane. If you don't spend your influence in the right order you're adding like an hour of grind each time lol.
And then when you finally get through most of the influence grind you suddenly need loads of cash for the powers

There are certainly a couple of points where purchases with Initiative influence order makes a big difference. (Buy a power THEN access to public ops!)

Cash slowly takes over the bottleneck position from global influence gathering around the 3rd or so power purchase. Then initative influence becomes the bottleneck again as the discipline shots start getting expensive and cash is building up faster than initiative influence.

The only NTR content i've seen (assuming no other girl is on a relationship) is when you fuck Sandra afther setting up her relationship with Derek (the invite over scene in particular).

Giving Sandra to that douche is bad mojo in the first place. True Chads just let him play with his balls.

First of all, great game :)
I have found a couple of bugs/exploits...
  • If you save on the screen " Time Passes while you sleep" and reload from that screen, your nightly energy gain is applied again. It doesn't happen with health though.
  • If you change aura and go to your profile page, the effects of the new aura apply to the people in the room. Basically you can use the 3 auras at once except in the few occasions where your profile is deactivated (Larson's office)
  • Minor Favor states that the costs is 2 charm and 20-persusarion&natural social, but while playing (asking personal questions) I only see the charm and the 20 favor
I am playing with Better experience Mod, just in case it is the mod. I have most of it deactivated, so I doubt that's the case. I just wanted the increase chance of events part
 

aaahhhh

I'm assuming the NTR is still a thing in this game..? Is there anyway to avoid it? I enjoy this game but as soon as I found out about the NTR I quit playing. Haven't touched it for a year or two, so wondering is there anyway to completely avoid it now or is it still there?

Any option in the game or a mod that's active? I just don't like getting cuckolded lmao, I don't mind doing the cuckolding though.

there is no ntr, there is actually "sharing" when you break them and make them nympho and dont change them with mindmap. you can actually mind control in a trait that forces them to only have sex with you.

Since Baal7734 appears to be active here, allow me to include another bug report.
Unstable Transformations from Polymorphism are currently inaccessible due to a set of errors in screen_combat.rpy:832, 865, and 898:
Code:
if combat_menu == "KSIS" and player.power_PER >= 1:
These if statements should be elif instead; currently, they overwrite the Unstable Transformations' buttons displayed in the preceding if statements.

A quick search of this thread shows this bug's been around since July.

Amusingly, I only discovered the bug because I was digging around to bypass the checks that stop players from cheating to access all the transformations from Polymorphism. I understand the allure of enforcing authorial intent and meaningful choice, but in a game with this much grind, locking content away and requiring additional playthroughs feels disrespectful of the player's time. To see all Polymorphism content would require four playthroughs (one for each of three forms, one more for Monster Cock and Gender Quick Shift). An option to reset the Polymorphism perks for a mild cost would be much friendlier.

Speaking of grind, the grinding required in this game is preposterous, and this is coming from a guy who's quite tolerant of grind -- I cut my teeth on old JRPGs after all. Personally, I think it feels so bad in this particular game because there's not enough sense of progression. Upgrading Enhanced Senses quickly leads to nudity but it takes a LOOOOONG time to get anything else after that. Requiring two different currencies to buy powers (money, and influence for resistance) makes things even worse because even after grinding up enough of the first currency, there's still only more grinding for the second currency to look forward to. And when you finally manage to buy a new power, it turns out that, before level three, most are prohibitively expensive to use or just not very good, so you get to look forward to grinding up even more money. In the end, it feel like each grind leads directly to the start of another with no reward (it's a porn game, the reward is porn) in sight.

Even JRPGs have acknowledged that grind is not a popular game mechanic; look at the FF8 remaster for instance, you can straight up play at triple speed to alleviate the grind. I hope you'll see fit to cut down the grind in your game as well. Or don't, it's your game to do with as you please, and if I'm any example, the tedium driving people to cheat basically gets you free QA. :D
