Had to find a version that didn't want you to sign in, but, yeah, that's the scene and, no, that isn't what I was thinking of. What I'm remembering has a slow base line and a little light percussion, deep male voice (think Barry White), maybe some back up singers repeating at the end of the line. Could have been pussy, could have been butt, might have been tits, but it's a thing.

Might need to do some weird searches to see if I can find it at some point - maybe some singer or comedian just set that scene to a drum machine or synthesizer loop...

Elduriel : for KG he has an excel sheet as Index for the safes. to keep track of the possible paths.

not really into that game myself, played it once like what, 2 years ago? Was turned off by the way too many paths and fetishes that I didn't like. Maybe I'll check it out once it's done

no judgement here, I used to use excel and browser bookmarks to keep track of my AVNs until I realized F95checker existed

It's a different expierience when you have the right documentation at hand,
Sorry but I'll stop talking about other games I always feel that I'm disrespecting Ceo in this case, and since this is one of my fav games, I really don't want to.

Why would I need to keep track of them when I have them in alphabetical order, organised by MC or FMC and whether completed and keeping or actively following? Don't need no checker I've never heard of to do it for me.

However, a VN with hundreds of variables to keep track of and multiple LI paths...then yes, I make a sheet

 

[xapican]

I like excel...so shoot me lol

I have a sadomasochistic relationship with excel, (I use it to keep track of my online workingtime, and to controll what the Translation comps pay me, so full program with all formulas, and diagrams etc etc) it is a invaluable tool.

you are right about that, not the first thread that got nuked for stuff like that

I still prefer my excel sheets over F95checker granted yet to check the app out but I doubt it has a way to account for my laspe of memory once in awhile and not being able to recall the last version of an AVN ive played. While Excel does unless I forget to manually update it lol.

Uhh getting Ice storm from Kaija? that happens only if you are under certain love points with her, I found it funny as I played trough both paths how her attitude changes

No it happens in any case, if MC says let's not get involved she says I am going in. Also she says go back on your own in all cases.

by the way did you get the scene with "big bad Kaija" in the apartment ? I know it is like asking pears from an oak, to you guy's since you dislike her, I mean instead of visiting Fiona in the studio.

I did and I enjoyed it to see her breaking down, I hope we'll see her in similar situation more.

What about XVIIIb? It looks similar too.

I own several Abions. That Molay replica is a wall hangar, but the Albion, while made by modern methods, is "real". The Type XIIa also tended to not have a curved cross - usually one of the straight styles that gave the true "crucifix" look to it. The sword asset used in the VN uses a guard that is too broad, and a pommel that is too bulky - but it's difficult to do them to proper scale in an illustrated environment like this and not have it disappear.

As for the other sword found, an anthropomorphic hilt like that would have been a bit smaller - of single hand proportions and the sword type would have predated the Oakeshott typology - dipping back into the "Migration era" and even back into the bronze age. Very much associated with the Celtic culture and would have used a "spatha" type blade in the iron age - typically a bit shorter, usually lenticular cross section, no fullers. Leaf blades also existed and could have been used with that type of grip, but you usually see those in bronze/bronze age rather than steel/iron age.

What about XVIIIb? It looks similar too.

An XVIIIb is a much longer sword with a much more slender blade, and typically having a much longer grip. Blade cross section is typically a flattened diamond and there is no fuller. It dates much later, to mid-15th into the 16th century, while the XIIa started to appear more mid-13th century. One of my Albions is of this type.

Too bad it's such a small render...

She's carrying the anthropomorphic blade that was also recovered. I was suspecting she's from a VERY OLD Celtic family and when she left "a few years ago", she meant "centuries".

As noted in my other comment - the grip is too big and the blade too long to be accurate to what it's modeled upon. If they reduced the asset to only 50%-60% (spitballing), it would be much more plausible.

Yeah, I'm happy that we now have the a bit of an excuse to talk about swords and sword fighting along with some historical facts, and after all Ceo is closer to what it was historically as some other good VN involving these kind of weapons, plus he has some nice "Assets" as well, By the way what kind of swords had the Elven soldiers did you see them by any chance ?
Edit: check his Discord under Art I'm shure that a man of culture like you will enjoy it.

Didn't notice anything in particular. Unfortunately, Linnea was carrying something that reminded me of a "commemorative" (i.e., non-functional) piece, and William's appeared to be based on the Conan sword, but was hard to tell. Nothing historic about Conan...

While mom's katana is a nice weapon, tamahagane is shit steel (comparatively speaking) and has a bad time against opponents hardened armors - they were mostly used on peasants, so not a big deal there. Because they were made from iron sands, they tended to be brittle (again, comparatively speaking) so, unlike many Euro and MiddleEastern swords made with better ores, didn't work as well as impact weapons. I'm not saying they're useless weapons, but mom was right - the fighting style has to be entirely different due to the limitations of the steel type, as well as shape of the blade, single-edge, etc.

And the whole "back scabbard" thing - not really practical. It looks cool, but only really works well with shorter blades, and you wouldn't carry a bastard, or even most Medieval single-handed European swords, that way - just very difficult to draw quickly.

Finally caught up. A couple of parting observations:

And, finally:

With the possible exception of Dark Silence, I think all of you Kaija haters are just salty old misogynists pissed that a woman would dare do to "you" what "you" would have done to her if the roles were reversed.

And I was expecting it to be revealed that maybe the Templars ran brothels in Neverwhere or murdered babies or engaged in the slave trade, but, no - they just kept secrets and maybe didn't provide special protection to a celebrity here and there that started blabbing about Neverwhere, so other bad actors caused them to have "accidents".

Granted, William is a bit of an asshole, but most "Williams" and "Bills" I've heard of in politics and industry are also degenerate assholes, so no big surprise.

Maybe y'all are just the type that would go into "journalism" - not to get to the truth, per se, but to make sure no one had any secrets from YOU, and you'd make it your life's work to punish them if they did.
