Kiyoko references "gunboat diplomacy" even though the world is at least a thousand years away from inventing guns.
Kiyoko's kids all refer you as dad even if you're a lady. wish there was a feminine honorific for them to use.
but worst of alll...
You can pet a lot of the kitsune, but you cant pet all of them

Because it precisely describes the situation in a way that the player will get it immediately. Tobs is clearly using the term deliberately. If you're not going to bat an eye at a fantasy culture just happening to be Japan with the language and everything, an anachronistic term shouldn't be too much to deal with.

oh I was batting so many eyes at the existence of "totally not japan," but thats happened so many times in fantasy stuff that its harder and harder to give a flock.
Hey, if the response to people griping over something is just "deal with it" then people will keep griping about it, and thats something you'll just have to... Deal with :V

Anachronisms. Neutral since 1617.

For those that missed the point, anachronisms aren't inherently incorrect or wrong. Read the definition. Examples like this "gunboat diplomacy" in a pre-gunpowder setting aren't fuck-ups, they're a conscious writing style. So like it or don't but quit calling it out like it's a mistake, deal with it, and move the fuck along.

I wasnt talking about the gunboat diplomacy there. "The word gets the exact meaning across without any confusion" is a perfectly reasonable explanation.
Yeesh, whats the deal with the fenoxo fandom and responding so venomously to any kind of criticism. Chillax!

That's fair. It's the usual message-board thing where the regulars have seen a revolving door of fresh faces show up and all complain about, ask for, or demand the same things. For the new person, it's just a thing; for the grognards, it's a Whole Thing, inextricable from a long parade of people and the memory of arguments past, none of which the new person knows about.

And yeah, a lot of the regulars, myself included, are...pretty enthusiastic. Makes troubleshooting and guides pretty easy, but also means that we - not to speak for anyone else - can get a bit overzealous, too.

Okay, so. In this, I have a new gripe, and a few old gripes.
First is my new gripe: Several TF items have TFs that are tied only to the raw version. And like, certain effects, I could probably understand tying them to only the raw form (Especially height, as it seems that height changes are only tied to raw for any tf item that changes it and I'm fine with that), but there are so many effects which target a specific part but which are only available for the raw form. For example, the Bovum Sherry ties femininity, butt/hip rating, and lip mod to the raw version, and Minoblood Wine tied femininity, cum multiplier, and lip mod to the raw version. Why is this? Femininity can be changed with pink and blue eggs infused with Soft Mud, so why is it that these items can not change it with Soft Mud? Why is it that lip mod is also not affected by a Soft Mud-infused Bovum/Minoblood, considering that it is affected by a Soft Mud-infused Cackle Berry or Wolfsboon/Lycanthorn? Why is it that the Bovum's butt/hip modifier can only happen raw, rather than with the Juicy Peach, given that Minoblood can change the butt/hip rating with a JP infusion? Why can Minoblood can't affect the cum multiplier with the Chestnut infusion, when the Virility Booster can?

It's not just the two minotaur tfs, there's also Cat's Tongue Berry having its cock, breast size, and hip ratings all tied to its raw form, the Carrot Cumpcake has thickness and hip rating tied to raw, Gold Eggs have femininity and Fertility tied to the raw form, Brute Beets have cup size, cock size, ball size, femininity, tone/thickness, butt rating, hip rating, and ear length all tied to its raw form, Root of Man has its femininity, cock size, and breast size tied to the raw form, and there are several others. Why are there so many aspects to these TFs tied exclusively to their raw forms?


Second: Why is it that you still fall asleep when you masturbate? I almost never use the masturbation options anyway, given that you have to be in camp or at the tavern to be able to masturbate, but why is it that jacking off or even milking yourself has you conking out until the next morning? This gripe has been said before, and given that Savin's said there's a strong possibility of getting rid of sleep-on-fap, I'm wondering why it still is the way it is.


Third: I've said this before, but why can we only fuck Etheryn monstrously with a cock larger than 12 inches? I do understand that there is, I think, a mechanic that lets you train Etheryn's ass to take larger cocks, but since she starts out being unable to take larger cocks, that effectively limits me to either having a cock below 13 inches long (what I currently do, even though I'd rather make it larger), not fucking Etheryn (which I don't want to do because she is one of my favorite characters), or being an absolute asshole when fucking her (The game does not warn you before selecting the assfuck option that you must fuck her in a corrupt manner if your cock is too large, outside of the first scene where Etheryn needs to cum, and if you don't have a cock larger than 12 inches at the time and grow it later or if you just don't look at/select that option at the time, then you'll suddenly be told after you've selected the assfuck sex option that you must do so monstrously, with no option to go back and select something else.)


And finally, to revisit the thing that Puffy_Princess said two and a half weeks ago: Why does Cait offer her ass to the Drider Queen? As she says when you give it a kiss after fucking her pussy, "I'm saving that, you know." She's an anal virgin, and has apparently been saving her anal virginity, but why is she saving it if she's just going to freely give it away to a random spider-lady? Sure, she's doing it for our sake, but so what? What if we want to get egged, or don't want her to get egged? We don't get the option to say "no, actually, just egg me and not her," if you're in the loss scene the game does not let you spare Cait, it just automatically has her get egged. And it's not even some important character story moment, to show that she and the Champion has grown in terms of trust and she's willing to sacrifice something precious to her to save him/her. Instead, some random enemy who we can never even learn the name of gets to take her anal virginity and she acts like it's no big deal despite how she's been saving her anal virginity, and also given that, according to her in the "children" talk option after you've cum in her pussy "I don't need to be getting all knocked up while there's demons trying to steal my friend's soul and my sister's missing. Got more pressing things on my mind than breeding." Despite both of that, when doing the "Eggs?" talk option with Cait afterwards, she acts like it was totally fine, like she didn't loose something that she's been saving for a while (her anal virginity) and that the fact that she's also been impregnated doesn't matter since they're technically not her children. I do think it is pretty neat that the "chaste kiss" tooltip and scene no longer mention her being an anal virgin afterwards, but still, it feels really weird that she'd just easily give it away to a completely unimportant character who she has had no interaction with beyond getting into a fight with her. And then she doesn't even let the PC fuck her ass now that she's no longer an anal virgin. Also if the PC has been egged the Drider Queen will normally not egg them again but if Cait is there then she'll get egged despite the PC already having eggs in them, so Cait doesn't even have a reason to sacrifice her anal virginity for the PC to avoid getting egged there.

I did check the scenes. The Drider Queen egging Cait says that it was written by @BubbleLord , the writer for the Drider Queen, rather than Savin. The "Eggs?" discussion is also written by BubbleLord, rather than Savin, and same with the random scene where the eggs in Cait's stomach will sometimes make a loud sound. Not to try to put down anyone's work, as all of the authors working on CoC2 are great, and I really like the Marked Mercs, Sugo, Ninian, and the Drider queen, all of which were written by BubbleLord. But it feels almost like, with the Cait eggings, he simply forgot that Cait is an anal virgin and is saving her ass, presumably for somebody special. I say almost, because he demonstrably did not. The scene where Cait gets egged mentions her "unspoiled butthole", and also it says
Your friend throws her head back and tries to moan as her anal virginity gets conquered by the powerful ovipositor, yet she can't get out more than a peep before the queen wrestles her back into the kiss. Cait is no longer an anal virgin!
So the scene explicitly mentions her anal virginity, and thusly, that means that he know that she's a virgin. But in the scenes following, it gets treated like the fact that she lost her anal virginity is of absolutely no consequence whatsoever, despite explicit statements.

Though perhaps, Cait's anal virginity isn't quite intended to be taken seriously, given that the writer for the Chaste Kiss scene was written by SomeKindofWizard rather than Savin. Still, it seems odd that Cait would be explicitly saving her anal virginity despite having a profession and faith which largely center around sex, meaning that it must actually hold some importance to her as otherwise she almost certainly would have lost it long ago.

The Wyld Elves are mostly Garde's thing. :U

what are you talking about. What character are you incapable of avoiding?
Vari, for instance. No offense but I don't care for her or anyone/anything she is a gateway to. So I'd love it if I could just avoid her entirely while I'm trying to beat up NPCs up north.

Kinda small gripe is when you visit Vari to see the kittens it makes it seem like an hour or two but jumps through to the next morning.

Remember when anal was evil?
Sir Please enjoy the privilege to joke
When I was a gentleman in his salad days such an action was punishable with a Life sentence of penal rectitude [normally served away from the general population for your own safety]
Be thankful that you do not live in one of the 71 countries homosexuality is a criminal offence or worse the 8 countries where it is punishable by death.

Not trying to poop the party just remind you of things to be thankful for and things we may have to fight for

My biggest gripe is how often the horny elf in the Old Forest shows up. I've fucked him at 9 AM game time and had him reappear at 3 PM, begging me to fuck him again. Even Ryn isn't that needy. Have some dignity and find an effigy or something if you're that desperate.

Also, not really a gripe, but it's a little odd to me how eggs you've laid and the contents thereof are still referred to as "your" children despite the champion only acting as an incubator. Those driders are no relation of mine. I actually want them as far away from me as possible, but releasing them into the wild is irresponsible and killing them would make Gwyn cry.

Keep in mind i really love the game and that these are just minor gripes/annoyances i have with the game.

The Appearance tab. It feels very inconsistent and sometimes just leaves out information altogether. For example when starting out as an orc it only says the nipples are black, but not the lips or pussy. And later when transforming or expanding those body parts it sometimes shows up and other times it doesn't say anything about the color. Or when my character gets a bovine/cow pussy it barely shows any information compared to an equine, sometimes referring to it as "alien" or "exotic".

There is no option to switch between imperial and metric units, and just feels like a weird mix between the two.

Would have liked more accurate status effect icons outside of combat, would be nice to be able to just glance over and see what affects the different party members instead of just a red or green star.

And maybe some form of penalty when vaginally/anally stuffed, or even when in your later stages of pregnancy? Seems weird you can just walk around normally when stuffed with eggs and/or 15k ml of fluids with no consequences.

That one's by design because there's a table of descriptors that the game can draw on so it's not the same thing every time, which would get dull and possibly look very clinical.

I actually do wonder about the *Filled tags myself, since I can't recall any scene that changes if you're already filled before starting it and if they affect gameplay it's so subtle I've never noticed. The Cum Covered effect does affect Tease attacks though (per the combat math doc) and late-stage pregnancy does reduce Agility. But yeah, the only thing that the Filled effects seem to do is give you an indicator of just how stuffed you just got and how quickly it's leaking out of you.

There is already a debuff in the form of overburdened for the latter, and even then I do not like it and want it either being able to be circumvented or gone.

Punishing players for engaging in their sexual fetishes is completely backwards in this kind of game IMO and gameplay enjoyment takes precedence over any attempt at so-called realism in this regard.

God yes, I end up switching to magic for whenever I want to indulge the preg fetish since the agi debuff hurts so much. Removing it or at least, making a perk that you can obtain to cancel it out would be great.

If it's by design then i can live with it, but i just wish it didn't leave out as much text as it sometimes does.

Didn't even know that was a thing, but yeah i agree that if it still were to be in the game, a perk to nullify or reduce the penalty for pregnancy, or even give positive effects depending on the level of pregnancy could be a great addition.

When on the topic of pregnancy, maybe add a status effect or something that shows if you are pregnant? Been a couple of times were i opened an older save or just hopped back in after a while, forgetting a character was pregnant and didn't really know if the text was indicating the pc was pregnant or just stuffed/fat, then suddenly be transported back to Hawkethorne to give birth. I know it's not that hard to check, but don't think there is anything displaying the stage of pregnancy and it would be really nice if it were a bit clearer and not having to go through several menus to find out.

I don't know if there's anything to display a specific stage or how much time until it comes, but you can tell if the PC is pregnant from the appearance tab, since the midriff/belly will be in a separate paragraph from the rest of the torso if the PC is pregnant.

I guess this is a gripe. I am getting annoyed with how eating a raw transformative item continuously is targeting one area even with other areas open for it to transform. My Orc character has done the Valentines day event a while back so she gained the demonic eyes. I am now deciding to eat more Brute Beets to get up her tone, hips and bust size without getting rid of her thickness. I figure to save it just in case I need to roll it back if I dislike the transformation. Every time my character eats a Brute Beet it goes straight for the eyes. I am going to guess that the coding makes it that eating a Raw transformation item goes for one of the area transformations (Face, Body, Limb, etc) over any of its raw transformations. I am just ranting to cool off some steam, If anyone knows how to up my characters Tone without getting rid of thickness I would be happy as without the event or rolling the die on a Belharan stew, I won't be able to get the Demon eyes back yet.

Edit: God I sound Whiny here.
