it's more like they don't want to make a habit of fulfilling some random player's petty revenge fantasies.
and i can respect that. its their game and they CAN do what they want, id just prefer that when people criticize a design choice people dont challenge it with double standards that make no sense. you cant catter to everyone nor should you.it's more like they don't want to make a habit of fulfilling some random player's petty revenge fantasies.
thats what you get for livin in a [SOCIETY]I like beating the shit out of the people in the LG-BT. Sadistic, entitled little shits get what they deserve.
You want the combat losses to be more like actual rape? You want the protagonist to explicitly not like it and want it to stop? Think about what you're asking for.
The change from CoC was one the staff deliberately made, and while the current model is by no means perfect it's better than any alternative so far tried.
Yeah. I wouldn't have even mentioned CoC if I didn't like the way they handle it there more...
What @Rainy Daze describes as 'ravishment fantasy' is fundamental to the CoC/TiTS model and is extremely popular. Whole AA franchises like Monster Girls have been built upon the premise of the PC being overpowered and used by exotic, sexually aggressive beings. It's not realistic, of course it isn't, are you complaining why your character doesn't scream with pain, keel over and then spends six months in rehab every time they get shot in a FPS? Does this strike you as 'slimy', that the developers of those games are not properly articulating what violence, war and death are really like to their audience?
I also don't think there's the significant difference between CoC and TiTS that you're positing. Some of the scenes in CoC are a little rougher, particularly the older ones, but the same mechanic of 'you basically enjoy being sexually used' is in effect throughout. I certainly wouldn't hold anything up within it as an unflinching portrayal of rape.
I think what you're angling for is a separation of this content from the game mechanics themselves, such that you aren't 'forced' into the stuff you don't like because you lost. I'm afraid what you're after there is a different game entirely. The frisson of risk, a contest with actual stakes on the table, is I think the very essence of the core mechanic of these games. There is a way to avoid the loss sex scenes in TiTS without min-maxing though, inserted for players just like you: It's called easy mode. Turn it on, forget the content you don't like is there, and have fun.
Lovely to see love-hate for the LG-BT, btw.
Don't they like forcibly milk you for your seed to sell if you have a dick? Or is that just stuck in the docs and didn't make it in or soemthing?They beat you they just take your money, IIRC. Maybe I'm wrong there and am misremembering
To get back on track i am not a fan of Nastizia , Mitzi and Lumi .
No fan of bimbos, crazed chemists or playful catgirl princesses?
Yeah, I can't blame you for disliking Lumi. She's a hell of an enemy to put up with for my semi-bimbo and fuck-hungry characters, I have to avoid Tarkus and thereby lose out on a week of frontier fun with Bianca. Riya's a pain as well, I avoid her at all times outside of the breeding quest unless I want to see how many Void fucks I can beat up on a mission. Zeph (who's another of these abrasive, dommy human futas) can be rough around the edges and in the sack, but at least she isn't a troll and a Black Wing, and shows some tenderness once she's knocked you up.Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Lumi. She's way too obnoxious and op. I just groan when she shows up and run.
Or goblins and goblin accessories. I hate goblins. Bimbos are cool though. Really cool and enjoyable. Also, playful catgirl princess has a certain tumor attached to her as a requirement.
I've always had a desire to see how kaithrit treat those with the rarer set of sex organs among their species for myself...plus it's free fertile princess pussy. Hopefully Nonesuch gets around to showing us to Tenevo.The one true reason I like Nastizia is her name. Princess Nasti is an iconic designation if I ever saw one.

I should probably hang on to the Arc Caster in future saves rather than selling it then. And the lust gain sucks ass as well.Yeah fuck Lumi! Though to be fair, fighting her with electric weapons is much easier but not worth it for the lust gain after combat.
Unlike a certain overtreated catgirl and her fellow mercs! Though I suppose Shizzy's resemblance to a certain futa I've seen in the works of a futa artist makes me a bit softer towards her.If there's one positive thing I can say, she's not forced down our throats and can be ignored and not accidentally stumbled upon with no warning
The probe stuff is a tad bit of a pain, I agree. It's either shelling out cash for something that is rightfully Captain Steele's, or the Platinum 180, or letting Jill thieve the coordinates to Myrellion. I don't think much of Shekka otherwise unless I want the omnisuit, but now that you mention her outfit is an allusion to Miranda's, I think I like her a bit more!Shekka's not that bad and I'm just salty over the probe thing and I appreciate the reference to best girl Miranda

I have to agree. It's really hard to dislike a lot of the characters, at least in the sense that they're just poorly written, because most of them aren't poorly written(I'm looking at you throughout all of this, Shizuya and her crew.). Even the characters that we "dislike" are mainly because they are intentionally written that way, and although we claim to hate them, they make the world feel real by making it so that just like real life, there are some jackasses we'd like to put in their place just as much as we would real life.Keeping in mind that this is intended to be a porn game, I pretty much like most characters, including ones that in real life I would see as extremely problematic. A lot of people seem to dislike Riya, for instance, and while if I actually met Riya in real life and interacted with her in the same way as she does in-game I would probably dislike her, but within the game I don't really dislike her. I don't even mind Beth Carver that much, or characters like Shade/Amara Faell, Illustria Po, etc.
I guess you could kind of figure out who I don't like by looking at characters whose scenes I don't enjoy (as in not the scenes themselves are badly written - I just don't really care to watch their scenes), and there's really one character who I just have no interest in whatsoever and that's Mitzi. I just find her completely uninteresting despite saving her and putting her on my ship. I don't like Tove characters either, but that's an aesthetic preference and not really anything on them as a character.
I don't even mind Jack/Jill Steele. Hitting on them in-game has been quite fun.
Probably my favourite characters right now are Sera (surprises me that she's so polarizing, I love her scenes), Anyxine, Zephyr, Syri, and Anno, in no particular order.
