1. I've removed it and a few other things from the fox pregnancies. The first child of any kitsune is Foxxy.1. That's where I looked up that line, though. Here's the bit:
! Mariko
if PregMarikoDay>0: PregMarikoDay-=1
if PregMarikoDay=0 and PregnantMariko=1:
if MarikoBlessing=1 and NogitsuneBorn=0 and rand(1, 5)=1: NogitsuneBorn=1&MarikoNogitsune=1
MarikoBirth+=1
FoxKid+=1
MarikoFox+=1
PregnantMariko=0
MarikoBlessing doesn't show up anywhere else in the game using the search engine. Thus Mariko cannot be the mom the way this is currently created.
2. That's the way I discovered the Silver Spear and Silver Dagger both couldn't be used for the battle to slay a diety- but amusingly enough Meat's axe is perfectly fine.
3. In a less bitchy sounding topic (internet is horrid about that sort of thing), I've got a lore curiosity: Mariko has saved the players bacon a few times in various quests (you hear the ringing of a bell). So what is the "reason" that she doesn't employ this trick all the time? Like, I understand the player needs to go back and forth from hell for plot and such, mechanically. And also if there was no risk rewards wouldn't feel particularly fun.
4. But as the story is going along, Mariko is actually getting stronger, rather than weaker. ...Maybe she's sapped from training or bolstered Avee? Or something else is interfering? ...I suppose since she's on speaking terms with Death maybe she's been told to let you drop here and there to keep you honest? Dunno, haha.
Sounds like a fine weekend indeed!
Parting shots:
5. I can't remember - was there a specific look to Mariko's amulet along the surface? I.e. the logo or whatnot? I'll probably just do a flat silver disc sort of deal if there isn't.
6. When Foxy abducts the PC she breaks both bangles from Gobwife and First. Kinda feels like the player would scold her for that at the least. But even if they don't, they go from broken to instantly back to normal being accidentally murder death killed by Yvee and you come back. Not a huge deal, but something to explain it, or even a short scene of fixing them with Gobwife and First together might be a nice moment.
7. I had a idea regarding the ghost capture for Foxxy: Maybe when you use that path, the Ghost Mom or Avery asks if your intent is to capture or to kill. (I ask because if feels kinda weird to lewd her then take her out.)
8. Next, this is the lewd mansion, yeah? So if the option for the hands to be all gropey like usual are still active/toggled, when the trap is spun both Foxxy and the Protagonist are gangbanged/groped into putty by the ghosties with the mosties. That's one way to bond! So it ends with her in your arms, totally spent and exhausted.
You could even have Avery make a not too subtle warning to stave off potential complaints here or there, I suppose.
2. The axe is to replace the fact that Hamstring is not going to part with his. I also fixed it, the tag was misspelled.
3. She will literally die.
Mariko's response if you've done the prison quest before rescuing the shrine is:
"I helped you with Carver, can you help me?", she asks, so much more tired than she was before.
If she is weakened when Avalon is defeated she fades away due to lack of faith.
4. As the story progresses she gets busier and can't micromanage you, but at that point Avee is able to step up and go even further than Mariko ever could. I do have fights planned that are skipped/avoided if the younger Mariko is alive, but they're for when things calm down.
5. If you look in the items folder of the game there is a picture of a bell I once considered using for it. It is described as an amulet but I recall an extremely early draft of Mariko being a catfolk instead of a kitsune and it was a bell necklace that fell off. It behaves more or less like a Witcher amulet so maybe it is stylized in that way but with a fox motif.
6. I'll add a little note to that. Lo is industrious and has her kobolds fix your stuff.
7. I considered that and there was a special end planned where the ghosts dragged her into the mirror and she was stuck on the other side endlessly being ravaged by ghosts forever, but a lack of art made that option not very viable.
8. If there is ghost art that exists for them that I can use I'll absolutely write a scene where they join you at the manor for some fun times but I couldn't find a whole lot, at least not a whole lot that I could use.
Edit before post: Throw_AwayPower is correct on all accounts but I don't want to quote their whole post.
I've applied to a few wiki sites to start up a wiki, all of which never responded or locked my application.The more I play this game and read about what others have gotten up to, the more i feel like a guide in the form of a flow chart would be supremely helpful.
