Damn it, you are NOT reading me.A woman can have Masculine points, she could be an MMA fighter!
She can have Masculinity 100 and Femininity 100, she knows how to be a man when she needs to and a woman when she wants! The points talk about this.
Don't expect to have Masculinity 0 and Phenility 100 and want to act like a man. That won't happen.
If you evolve the game focusing only on the feminine side, the tendency will start to be more feminine! What's the problem with that?
The point is that you only want to see two poles, but the points are fluid, you can make several combinations.
I am NOT talking of the points and how they work. I am talking of HOW you get them.
The dialogue options that give points, both for male and female, are BAD. The only reasonable choices are the ones that give NO POINTS.
The difficulty is the getting of those points with BAD choices.Imagine that a woman with a high point of femininity is a model, charismatic, delicate.
and a woman with a high level of masculinity is a car mechanic, who wears overalls and loves to get dirty!
Now imagine that the same woman has stitches on both poles, she is a delicate model who loves fixing cars and has no problem breaking one or two nails.
I don't see any difficulty in understanding this.
You keep defending the wrong argument. I am NOT against the points system, I am against the Dialogue options that get you the points.
You see nothing wrong, I see nothing right. There wasn't many Female points to get with a MINIMUM of dignity. All options for them were really, really bad. The Male points were given with abusive and asshole options.
Do you understand NOW?
Temper those down. As it is right now, the game is going nowhere near your supposed vision. The only females will be extremely submissive, and the males over domineering assholes. That's what comes out of the options you made them choose to get the points that they need for either.
So, if a player is attracted to the Male options he'll NEVER choose the Female ones. And vice-versa. Because they are Polar opposites right now.
And, TO ME, they are unbearable, both. So, either people play this as a points game, fuck the story, fuck the options, I'll min-max everything and save scum to get all content. Or, they'll play the polars, because, the middle of the road options don't give points to advance the story or complete quests.
I repeat: The problem is not WHAT the points DO, is WHAT you have to DO to get the points.
You may argue until you are dead that points allows this and that, but if you don't fix the options that attribute points, no one will ever see the game as you think it will go.
Do what you want, the game isn't what you write about. And will never be if you can't understand the criticism.
Peace
