Phew, quite a lot to read, I shouldn't have done silly things such as sleep and work ...
So in general I like the new system, brings back fond memories of the olden times and works pretty well, it is obvious how much love and creativity has gone into it. A few kinks here and there could optimize it but with CTRL skipping a possibility a mission doesn't take too long if just repeated for some XP or similar. I do think though that the first mission should be more easing in - either slightly change it or make an eaven easier, so that you can get accustomed to walking around and exploring and testing without failing most tests. As it stands, the first experience is more likely to fail than not because players still don't know what they are doing, don't know the map, and will stumble into the wrong things. Give MC a contract with somebody experienced who will explain "recreation areas", and maybe some indication on whether or not something is likely to fail. But it is - to me - a major improvement on the one click contracts which did not have any feel about them at all.
However, I feel that in the long run this can become very grindy if we need a lot of money for stuff or a lot of experience to advance the story. If I remember how often I spent a day at Wilfred's with three "daylight" and one "nighttime" mission CTRL skipping to get the money for item X, I dread doing the same in this system a bit, although I am not advanced enough to truly judge the balancing so far.
Another aspect that I think hasn't been mentioned are the character portraits to know where to find somebody: great addition, the drawings look great, however in my opinion the comic style clashes with the general graphics and very distinguished look (especially post update) of the interface and just doesn't gel. Pics from renders would be more boring but IMO also less intrusive.
Just to counter this point (has been made multiple times, but I can only counter one opinion and chose one constructive one) while I want some content, I also prefer some gameplay - hence why I can't stand Kinetic Novels.

Not a big problem or anything, and not sure if this is just an oversight or some such thing, but when going to talk to Wilfred about Luna's knife, the talk option was greyed out, but when I clicked on it the thing about Luna's knife was there and lit up as well as the part about him wanting to talk to the MC.
That was something I noticed but haven't commented on myself. Wonderful addition in my opinion. I agree about the chibi style pictures. Cute as heck, but not very consistent with the rest of the art style in the game.
No problem, you're welcome.

Personally I would completely agree with you. However, the tag definition on this forum mentions simultaneous sex (aka "group sex") of at least four harem members at once. Again, personally to me no group sex would be needed to qualify but the tag has a different definition.

I'm not sure as I haven't gotten them yet myself. I'm just going to wait until I can get more gear and stat boosts from events then go back to it after a bit.

Well, there are technical aspects which can be overcome but sometimes an old save wouldn't also make sense anymore if the story and/or mechanics change. Add a new stat - what should you use as a value for some advanced player? A storyline has been broken up or fused so the point the old save was in just does not exist anymore. Place where you are has been taken out completely. (This is generally speaking, not all of it applies to this specific game.) So sometimes an "import old save" wouldn't work.
Just one of the risks of following a game in development pre alpha - nothing is set in stone. Even more so, the more gameplay is involved instead of "just" telling a story. It is different from playing a game and then having content added through DLCs or similar. I hate redoing stuff as much as the next guy, but it is a risk I am willing to take for the experience of watching the game grow. It's a personal decision whether you prefer it this way or want to wait until a game releases. But I guess you cannot have your cake and eat it too here, at least the risk is there.

"Acceptable"? That is a word that doesn't apply here. We do not have to accept anything. Supporters may, but even they knew what would come. Hopes does not have to run this update past us. You can like or dislike the update. You can like the update but still think the long time wasn't worth it. But we are not in a position to call something "unacceptable". That would be a good contender for "most entitled statement" but alas ...
... this guy of course takes the cake.
Hello again!
Is the flag that you mean is the one that the dialog mentions at the last part of the map? if yes, how do you get it at the marketplace, it seems that i can only get the package and nothing else.

Well, since some of the more "strict" Christians (especially in the US if compared to Europe, dunno how it is in other parts of the world) are very much about virginity, the, ehm, literal "loophole" presents itself at the back, so you can fuck like the bible told you to. (Never mind that it didn't, that the pure technicality of an intact hymen can be bad anyway, that it could be repaired, etc.) Which leads to the situation, which for my culture is strange but can also be seen in quite a few games around here, that anal is an earlier "base" than vaginal.
Doesn anyone have a save file from after 0.06 that works ? My last save file is from that version and I get an error when I want to load it and I don't really have the energy to go through the whole game again ...

Huh. When I go to the market there is the option to buy the flag for $50 then you go all the way west and set it up. First time I waited the whole time and Wolfred showed up complaining about how long I took. Second and third times I set it up then just left and went to the church. However, I failed the first two checks when the nun was joking with you, so that may be why I had to do the flag method. Because of failing the checks (I think) the nun that played the joke on you was ...really enjoying herself because of it, and then when the little scene ended I got the pants automatically.
So, if you beat the checks you might want to change some gear so you fail them.

Next time do a search for "saves" or something. Old saves do not work with this version due to a massive overhaul of the game mechanics.
No, you are misreading it
What this means is "all relationships are sexually active" not "all are have sex with each other". If MC is, for example, having sex with Isabel, Luna, and Gracie with none being mutually exclusive, then it gets the harem tag. However, this is FURTHER distinguished from a harem ending, where this arrangement is known and allowed by all parties and it carries into the future. Again, no requirement for any group sex to occur.
I see, i didn't do the mission until i was finally able to pass both checks, maybe that's why i dont get the flag method,again thankyou very much for you help!
