I desire a rapier and parrying dagger. Rapiers are more damaging than they look, and they were sometimes used with a dagger in the offhand. I've mentioned it before, but we need more dual wielded weapons and that would be a perfect combo. Plus I don't want to wait to get Raphael's rapier. He doesn't even have a dagger. What a loser. It'd be even better if they were surviving weapons that were refurbished, so I could call them a more elegant weapon for a civilized age. I wouldn't mind getting some vampire stuff in. I'm not talking about the fearsome cumpire or the kitsune. I mean the traditional kind. I have a bit of a fetish for those. The whole corruption of the innocent thing goes well with them and they'd fit well. I doubt our friendly neighborhood cumpire would want to risk her bloodsucking running around. It could be small quest that ends with getting a corrupted rapier out of it. Potential life drain damage and having a consistent blight damage weapon. Oh well. I'm not confident enough to write so I guess I'll settle for the dreaded cumpire.

 

[GEESE]

can you even make a rapier out of bronze?

 

[Karamaru]

You can but it won't look like your standard rapier and was used in the past and looked more like a longer version of a gladius.

on topic: I hope we get a master bedroom in the wayfort we can place our main love intrest or multiple ones.

 

[Wint3rRyd3r]

Yeah but like Karamaru said, the blade is thicker and isn't a traditional rapier. There is an iron weapon already, so it could always be a commissioned piece or something from the past that was enchanted to be unbreakable. Or the spectral smith could always fix one. Somehow, Raphael has one and I think he's a different version from CoC1. Artistic license and suspension of disbelief could justify a regular rapier made of bronze, but I'd prefer one of the other options.

 

[WolframL]

Yeah, he's explicitly a deconstruction of CoC1 Raphael but not the same character.

 

[SomeNobody]

There is something suspect about the whole thing, why did that character of all of them from CoC1 warrant a "deconstruction"?
And he's not really any logical breakdown of Raphael from the first game, he's just a complete psychopath that is portrayed as some sort of hatesink in being completely and utterly despicable in every detail of his portrayal and actions. Compared to the previous character of the same name who was a simple petty thief that liked to style himself after the "dashing rogue" cliche.

In being such an over time top villainization-knockoff of an existing character that is an ardent follower of a God from Corruption of Champions 1 does Observer have some sort of beef with parts of the previous game?

I think he's a deconstruction of the dashing and mischievous rogue who flirts with everyone. And Coc1 Raphael may have been a thief who was good with a sword, but he was a creep who caused problems and was introduced by trying to steal our stuff, before running or trying (poorly in my opinion) to seduce the player. The rapier training is his only redeeming trait. Besides, in the first game you can only interact with him because he's trying to flirt so he wouldn't try to show any bad traits. Though the new Raphael does raise some questions. Why and how does he have a counterpart on Savarra, and who else could have a counterpart somewhere.

He committed the ultimate sin of not wanting to bone your character unless you meet a fairly lengthy list of requirements to match his taste in waifus in a world where nearly everyone else is pansexual so as to not screw the player for picking a certain transformation type/gender and even ditches you mid questline if you gain traits he doesn't like. As I vaguely recall he is pretty dickish about it when he shoots you down, as well.

Taoth probably transformed him into a Fox morph from whatever previous race he was. I think Lupine?

Because it doesn't take much more than a change of perspective and a few minor tweaks to turn the original character from the dashing rogue he imagines himself to a creepy predator... and he was already the creep part so it's basically just dialing the possessiveness the original character possessed up to eleven. Tobs mentioned that he's also picked up a few traits from a character from the tabletop games Savin runs, but I don't know enough about those to say anything further.

 

[The Observer]

As I'm fond of saying, a lot of Raphael's dialogue and actions are either the exact same lines he uses placed in a different context, or otherwise paraphrased.

Yeah well context is important, specifically the actions being taken by the character.
This character being a ridiculously psychotic clone of an unrelated character from the previous game is just bizarre. Why the decision to bring about such an unnecessary 'reference' in the sequel?

That's an extremely petty mindset and to the detriment of this game's writing.
Have in fact heard people elsewhere complain about CoC2 writers inserting crude strawmen based on those (fictional or otherwise) they dislike or disagree with, at the time wrote-off such claims as just baseless shitposting, is it actually a thing that happens?

Have you heard of Hirrud?

Have you heard of Hirrud?

The minotaur who had the catgirl harem you rescue? What about him exactly?

 

[Tide Hunter]

The minotaur who had the catgirl harem you rescue? What about him exactly?

I believe it's been stated that he's supposed to basically represent a mentality seen among some players of being entitled to complete control over the other characters their player can sex, and decrying anyone who's orifices aren't exclusively open to the player as being "Nice Time for Roo'd" and the like.

 

[The Observer]

Because Tobs really doesn't like CoC1 Raphael.

Not true. While he was creepy, insulting of the player for not meeting his very stringent standards and was by and large a coin toss for his intended audience, purveyors of Harlequin novels as to whether they liked him, I don't hold any personal animosity for the character in and of himself.

Actually from what I remember, the character was (allegedly) sort of a meme about a specific member: HiredGun. Not sure if they were ever a member on the forums (or the discord), but they did post under the updates for CoC2 in the past.

Here are the comments made by this member when Hirrud was first added to the game (here's the link to the specific patch update this was on, scroll down to comments):

Spoiler: Screenshot for those too lazy to click the above link

Other than that it can pretty much be seen that HiredGun was anti-futa and pro-full female (basically pro-vanilla). As mentioned in your post, said member was also heavily anti "thots" in their own terms, and viewed NPC's that weren't monogamous to them essentially "cucking" them.

Above screenshot (more anti-futa stuff): this link here (read comments).


Above screenshot (even more anti-futa stuff lol): this link here (read comments).

So yeah, that's about it. Feel free to derive your own meaning for the (alleged) inclusion of said member as an NPC.

Sorry for the lengthy post, and sorry for possibly derailing this thread with this post.

EDIT:

Don't forget all the times he called random NPCs "cumrags"/etc.

Alright well, if that's what you gleamed from their posts, I'm not going to dispute that.
I do feel bad for raising this and not showing all of said member's posts, so I went through the CoC2 Update threads on the forums "Home" tab and compiled all of their messages into a .txt, which is attached below.
Please bear in mind that the posts in the .txt are out of context, but more to be used as a reference tool in order to truly determine their use (or disuse) of the specific term quoted above (by searching the .txt).

No offense (genuinely, not ironically) intended by doing this edit, I just want to be as comprehensive as possible - and not poorly represent this specific member. As mentioned before, the .txt has all their posts, and links to the threads each were on (if context is desired).

Apologies once again for possibly derailing the thread, and bringing this up.

Lol Oh hey there's me in there.
Bold of him to assume anything of my relationship dealeos (and that I have a girl, hah) rather than just that I understand how Fengame 'verses work, unlike his little baby brain.

This guy wouldn't have lasted on the forums, assuming he wouldn't get banned for being such a troll first.

And now you are making Hirrud (no association with aforementioned user) into a hot cumrag made for the player. Karmic justice?

[Hjui]

Yeah, there's enough playing around with genitals already (like the siorcanna having human-type penises) that it could be done, with the caveat that you'd be making yourself only mostly-hornet because alchemy shenanigans or whatnot.

Savin has said there is a hornet TF being edited/reviewed so it's probably only a matter of time.

Since this is getting added it would be nice to have the ability to impregnate some of your companions with eggs if you've fully transformed into a hornet and have the oviparous perk.

I'm pretty sure ovipositors on the player have been given a "no". Probably for the same reason as no non-bipedal body types being allowed.

 

[WolframL]

Ovipositor for the Champion is indeed confirmed as not happening, ever.

 

[Kaiserr]

For the Champion to receive a warg as a gift from one of the boreal elves, which can work as a summon ... would be pretty cool.

Solveig should have a [both] scene.

For the love of god if it hasn't already confirmed. Please give us an option to chill at the tavern until we go into labor like how TiTs has it. With the decrease to stats I've just been doing nothing but lurking around the village in fear of getting stomped by mobs.
