VN Ren'Py The Nature of Magic [Part 3] [Slate Interactive]

Being honest, I hope that's a direction we can take. Cause I have some impressions and suspicions that, if correct, would make me want to not have a number of the LIs in a relationship at all

At the same time, this is a porn game and I detest missing on content, especially of the spicy variety.

So if a modular system where we could shape the kind of relationship with each girl was implemented, that'd be ideal - including the 3 Grym girls, as I'm sure many folks, myself included, would want to revise their approach to them for whatever reasons suit their fancy.

Personally, I love everything about Anwen, but those nipple piercings are gigantic, massive turn offs. The face ones are fine and I even like them, but anywhere else just makes me want to nope out and I can't enjoy interactions with those things in there. But that is a subjective thing, and a very me thing, with folks having different takes and views about it.

Just mentioned that as an example because I don't want to mention or use Aine, the subject of the latest big hubbub, as an example and risk reigniting a conversation that already had all of it's constructive and useful things pointed out.

And hey, there's already a precedent canonically established for that "modular relationship" thing: the old man Cymhen himself, who did exactly that - fucked everything that moves without a care in the world, developing actual bonds with only a select few (Aine's mother being one of them).

Given that the girls all have been raised in a setting where all-out fuckery is normalized and expected, and anything other than that comes off as a shock and/or with surprise, my interest in a number of the LIs have plummeted.

Then again, I might be wrong about that, and hope I am. But I've seen (and actually met) plenty of them "wild girls" to have my expectations set very solidly.

I personally like piercings and tattoos, so Anwen is my favorite.

The way I see it, there may be some 'package deals' or inter-harem throuples like how if you look at the character sheet seems to group them (Bael & Fiadh, Orl & Lea, the Grym girls) which may give extra/expanded scenes, but I think it'd be easy to have a lover, fwb, and friend path for each. Unless there is an LI we haven't been introduced to yet, I don't think the scope would be too large with the capabilities the dev has already shown.

The only two LI's who started/took a turn for the worse for me was Bael with her lewd insta, and... well, we don't need to bring that issue up again. For Bael, I'm just not a big fan of LI's showing themselves off like that, whether before or during a relationship.

So...im gonna go and guess im in the minority of still fully liking Aine...uhh...long live dirty talk? i guess?

Aine is good in my book too.

It was a wall of text from some guy, where skimming through it. His main complaints seem to be that Aine comes across like a "high class prostitute/mega slut" that's really quite "gross". (lmao)...And acts like a whore, that has no interest in Rane outside of his cock. Cerys is the same but milder, and the sex talk makes them both feel "gross" and like "the biggest slags in school"...

He then goes on to say that because of that, Aine should just be a one time encounter and shouldn't be a LI. And that we should have the option of telling Cerys that her and Rane are "not romantically compatible" and have them break up because, CLEARLY all we should be thinking about with how eager they both were to have sex with Rane, and with how "slutty" they were both acting. That we should (I'm not kidding, he actually wrote this...) be thinking about "how many men they've been with" and "we shouldn't take either of them seriously romantically".

Because apparently now even Cerys?!?!? has been hinting too much that she's been with other men...

She literally saved her self for MC, I swear some people's kids can't read, and have really backwards views on sexuality...
