They totally caught my eye as well. I kept hoping to start a convo with them rather than the muscley girls lol
There are a few muscle girls in the game, but generally there will be girls for all sort of tastes.
As for the girls pictured, there is nothing....yet! I have a cast of town citizen that serve as background, and when I need a new character that live there I generally grab one for that cast.
Only real complaint was that is was a bit too on the rails though, and often I found myself wanting to be more in control of things... like I'd rather have not fucked Martha or promised her children, I've got no interest in her... likewise 0 interest in the wife of the lord/father yet the MC is lusting after her sometimes. Celeste is another that I'd not have chosen to be with. Oh and I find the french maid dresses a bit silly for the slaves, but that's a terribly minor complaint.
That's because I want to show the girls being pregnant in the game, not just at the end of it. That mean a shitload of renders to make if I give the choice.
An example: A scene with 3 LIs. 20 renders for the scene. If you can chose which is gonna be pregnant, that means 160 renders for the scene to account for all the possibilities, if my math are right. And that's only with 3 characters.
On the full length of the VN, that means thousands additional renders to make. I could do it but...I have quite a lot of story to tell, and I want it to progress at a decent pace.
That's why most games shows the pregnancy at the end, not in the middle of the game. Since I want pregnancy to be a core kink in my VN, I had to make sacrifices.
I figure the troll kid decision depends on the whether or not the author is a Killer DM type. If he is, it won't matter we'll be hurt by either decision. If not, it might not matter either way. Or maybe sparing the troll will setup an Androcles' Lion situation. Or maybe it'll come back to bite the MC, literally even.
I am a DM in real life, but not a killer one. It depends of the situation. Some choice have a wrong and a bad answer, some are more grey with upsides and downsides for every choices.
That one in particular is a classic dilemma. The original is about finding orc's babies. Are you gonna kill them knowing that orcs are always evil (in the setting), or are you gonna let them live because they are innocent, for now , knowing that they will become murderous bastards in the future?
It makes you think about morality, nature vs nurture, that sort of things.
Even in the real world, the earliest mentions of alcohol being bad for pregnancy date back much farther than most people think.

I mean, it's mentioned in "The Book of Judges" which scholars believe was written sometime in the late 7th or early 6th century B.C.

Of course they didn't know why it was bad like we do now, but they did know it was bad.
Great post!
Indeed, middle-age people knew, for the most part. They were not stupid, just less educated. But they knew cause and effect.
If they saw, again and again, that women that drank a lot gave birth to deformed babies, sooner or later they made the link.
And they did not have magic, like in the setting, or the guidance of a god that can talk to them via their Heralds. And, due to the Curse, their clerics teamed with mages to study pregnancy in great detail.
