So I do love this story, however, what the Hell is that fight? The MC blocked the attacks of the Orc with his sword... *Look at the Orc Chief* *Look at the MC* Nope, not happening, the Orc has arms bigger than the MCs legs, their is no way without magic he would take that sort of hits.

A more realistic fight would have been one where the MC levied his dexterity to avoid the Orc Chief's hits, not just stand there and block the hits, its insane, nobody in their right mind in particular not a warrior-mage would fight like that against an enemy that clearly possess vastly superior strength, that ways lies getting crushed by brute force, dodge and weave, hit and run, those are the ways you'd win that sort of fight, not by trying to counter brute force.

Also the MC at times was holding the blade of his sword with his bare hands... wait WHAT?! He'd have lost all his fingers before the end of the fight, when you see moves like that in some fantasy / medieval movies or shows, do you know what those characters have? GAUNTLETS, they don't bare hand grab the fucking blade of their swords, its insane.

At one point the MC had a big opening... and he slash the Orc across the chest... why?! Its pointless, that wound would have hurt but nothing else, if he had done the same instead to a limb, in particular the legs he could have crippled the orc, possibly cut an artery and basically signed his death sentence instead he just pull a meaningless hit to the chest, not even a thrust to the heart, but a worthless slashing attack.

Frankly I think an Achilles fight like at the beginning of Troy might as well have worked better here, just have him go for the Orc weak points fast and take him out quick, it feels like the fight was stretched to avoid the MC looking too OP, but so much that was done just doesn't make sense for a trained warrior to do that it still make the entire fight looks dumb.

Edit: alright, nice update, gotta wonder though, no kids around at all? I get the old chief was sterile but were none of the other males getting down and dirty? You'd think an orc pregnancy lasts a week and the baby reaches adulthood after one more given that there seems to be nothing but adult orcs in the tribe...

I knew I should have attached an image. That was a while ago. She is the orc shaman, namely did she give you a titty fuck and blowjob back in the day. If you are interested in her, just say yes.
Is the Goddess supposed to always to look pregnant or did she decided she wanted a half orc baby?

OK, so I got an error right after loading the previous save(loaded fine, click to move to next frame, error/crash, ignore, reload same spot, click goes to question if you are on Gweyr path or not.) here is the error

Yes, I'm running the Mod. Not a huge deal since I remembered to try the play again after the crash. Thought I'd mention it both for the Author and Modder(Thank you both!) and for anyone that might not have remembered to try the "trick".

To be fair that was intentional at the moment. That wasn't all the tribe watching the fight. There were still people in the huts etc. And then there was the... technical limitation that I almost ran out of RAM doing the scene before I even thought of kids. That and yeah, didn't really want them to be around that fight scene either, I mean there is a failure condition to the fight.

Sure, but there is a reason why he drank the potion at the start.

I wasn't really going to into the combat potions too deeply, but simply put: They increase the users strength and durability, downside is death in prolonged use (and quantity) and they don't last that long. And it is one reason why humans can fight creatures that are much stronger than them for short periods of time.

That and I call divine shenanigans, wouldn't be the first time nor the last that the divines would remove their favours and blessings, not that they do that much (yes, I'm joking on this part). Realistically, most of the fights aren't going to be realistic as is, if they would be most of the humanity would be dead. Although that would make interesting narrative overall. Unless I put a everyone in full armour, nor even then, I wouldn't expect realistic fights as is.

As far as grabbing the blade, it happens with or without a gauntlet/glove. It can be done safely, will you lose fingers? Not really. There are risks involved and there are always risk of severe injury when doing so, but he isn't grabbing the opponent's blade, he is grabbing his own to control it and he doesn't apply pressure to the edges. And grabbing the blade during fights with bare hands is a historical fact (it has been recorded and modern medieval sword instructors do teach it). Safer with a glove/gauntlet? Yes, absolutely, and far better control. But it can done without losing fingers. That and I am in the mercy of assets makers. Half of the gauntlets I have are more bracers. And half of of the four that I have don't look anywhere near good without the armour in question. And I would have to lose the padded tunic, which itself is more light armour than just cloth. But it is one of those things you don't really know unless you are making things.

She is almost always pregnant, she is the goddess of motherhood, love, lust, and bloodlust. Outside of the bouts of bloodlust she appears as "pregnant motherly figure"... with an axe.

And as usual public release time. If you need additional links wait for the OP to udpate or from the blog & Discord as usual.

Please note, if you had issues with saves before, chances are things might break because reasons. I was able to run it through, and so were most of my patrons without issues. But just to let you know.

0.13.0 was 1.79 GB 1716804771688.png
while 0.14.0 is 2.05 GB
1716804860754.png
Why? Depends on the original image size. All the images in update 0.13.0 were only 669 MB (205 files), in 0.14.0 they were 2 GB (646) files, this is the RAW png's, so yeah there is that. There are three times the images then previous update.

Fair enough but i haven't spotted any kids in this update or the previous one, not just for the fight, they are around right? Like, it's not that you don't have working models for them or can't do it for some reason, you just forgot/didn't think of it?
