Your gripes with CoC II

[Alypia]

Lots of characters have the potential to become companions. They lack the writers and/or writing time to pull it off, to say nothing of team archetypes. It's a shame, but there are only so many hours in the writing day and so many zots in game development.

 

[wery12345]

And to avoid overloading the player ala the like 25 people you can have on your ship in TiTs.

 

[WolframL]

As Savin pointed out right in the primary design doc (and Tobs created an entire topic to clarify) there are Reasons that companions were limited to one-per established writer: It's a huge undertaking since they need to be a participant (at least potentially) in every major part of the game, interact at various points with all the other companions and have enough content in both gameplay and writing terms to justify their constant presence. Or to put it more succinctly, 'no bubble waifus'.

Since everyone eligible but Savin (and the unique case of B) only gets one character, that naturally restricts them to whichever character they feel the most passionate about, or came up with first, or whatever else contributed to why they picked this character over that character. I'm sure that in some other hypothetical leg of the Trousers of Time we could have gotten a different set of companions but that's not the world we live in.

Plus isn't Lusina Savin's character? 4 companions would transcend the normal level of hubris.

 

[Animalistic]

Also, come on now, we already have 2, arguably 4 companions that are more barren than a lot of major NPCs. Do you think the game could handle anymore of them?

 

[wery12345]

Ah Savin and his hubris of 3 2 of which are tied to town areas.

 

[Tide Hunter]

Plus isn't Lusina Savin's character? 4 companions would transcend the normal level of hubris.

He learnt firsthand when he attempted to do Shar as a fourth, that four certainly is too much of an undertaking.

Barren? I thought only Cait and Autiga was..

 

[Animalistic]

Add to that Agni and Azzy (well, when it comes to her vagina).
But I was talking in terms of content, not pregnancy.
Or in case Azzy and Atugia, lack of defining character. I still could not tell ypu what makes them them even if you pointed a gun at me.

 

[0th Law]

Y'know, I'm mildly miffed that there's no option to have your character be addressed as an enby.

 

[wery12345]

Still feels weird to have kitsune and kura be in the pick a fight option for a kitsune champ. Also a what?

 

[0th Law]

Enby. NB. Short for Non-Binary.

 

[Animalistic]

Asked before. Developers are not interested in changing gendered pronouns.

 

[IraMorti]

Random silly gripe since I like to play mage characters - Sanctified Gladius doesn't have the catalyst tag but the new Flametongue Blade does. Catalyst apparently only affects accuracy and crit right? So why does Flametongue Blade have catalyst tag with no accuracy or crit stats, but the Gladius does have crit stats but no catalyst tag. Mysteries upon mysteries. o_o

 

[De3ta]

can the gender option for male sex but perfered femme pronouns be trans like in TITS? or at least an option to not be shemale?

 

[WolframL]

can the gender option for male sex but perfered femme pronouns be trans like in TITS? or at least an option to not be shemale?

First, the question has been asked before and the answer was No. You can read some of Savin's earlier comments there for discussion of why the term is the one the game uses.

Second, because the game features naturally intersex characters as an element of several races as well as in-universe ways to transform one's body there are going to be situations where implying that they're transitioning would be equally inappropriate.

Third, TiTS is in the middle of a massive bottom-up recreation which has enabled the game to add in some features like customized terms which it didn't have before. That's not something this game has built in. While TiTS shares some writers in common with CoC2, it's not being worked on by the same team.

 

[wery12345]

Yeah "like in TiTs" should be the tell that it can't really be added, even before the Bottom up rework.

 

[MarcoPolo121]

Okay, minor quibble, but it does surprise me Jae'lyn has no straightforward anal stuff where she catches. I mean there's a scene where we tease her with a butt plug, and a few threesomes where she catches it in the ass, but no solo anal. Just something I raised my eyebrow at.

Also, TIL we can have a dream about Etheryn with a pussy instead of a cock. Hmm.

 

[wery12345]

It's a dream that's all it is, those are just a whole wash of impossible things, like 10 Kiyokos.

 

[kiby]

And it's a dream where you are being an evil asshole to her.

 

[Animalistic]

And this is a game called Corruption of Champions 2.

 

[Spidereggs]

And this is a game called Corruption of Champions 2.

Because it's a sequel to a game called Corruption of Champions - is "artifact title" a familiar concept to you?

Mom and dad stop fighting.

 

[Animalistic]

Yes, and CoC 2 marketed itself as spiritual sequel which includes corruption.
The game has examples where Champion can force their will on others.l
The game, if developers veiled it, could decide that a corrupt champion could force a vagina onto Ryn or anyone for that matter. So Ryns opinion, so to peak, litterly does not matter.
So, in culmination, I see no point in Kibies rebutal based on the fact that that dream was all about being an evil bastard as it reflected the corrupt champions inner desires in which they ignore Ryns wants and autonomy for sake of some prime puss.

 

[Savin]

So Ryns opinion, so to peak, litterly does not matter.

Neither does yours, but you keep posting it all over.

 

[WolframL]

And this is a game called Corruption of Champions 2.

The developers have been very clear that you shouldn't be using CoC1 as a basis to predict what CoC2 will do. That the word is in the title doesn't mean that every possible instance you can imagine of corrupting characters is going to be possible or of any interest to the writers. Tobs even has this to say on the matter:

Also corruption in this game isn't inevitable, you can easily play this game as a (relatively) good character.

 

[Alypia]

And it's a dream where you are being an evil asshole to her.

There's one dream for DK Champ where they force Ryn to have a pussy, and there's one dream for all Champs where Ryn just, like, has a pussy and it's described in a way that implies that it's what she really wants.

This is Not True and is a relic of early-dev weirdness.

 

[Animalistic]

OK, so once again, you are agreeing with me but presenting it in a way that makes it seem that you and I are on a complete different wavelength. We agree that it is up to developers to decided if they want something in the game or not. Thay in game justification do not matter. And that game can contain corruption of almost any kind, not that it should.

That the word is in the title doesn't mean that every possible instance you can imagine of corrupting characters is going to be possible or of any interest to the writers. Tobs even has this to say on the matter:

And did I ever claim otherwise? Where do I ever claim this?

 

[Wint3rRyd3r]

I always assumed the sequel naming was because coming up with another sexual acronym would be a pain in the ass. I mean Kas is potentially a grandmother, so VAG: Very Angsty Gilf, would work but doesn't sound as good.

Also I was always told that hamburgers were invented in Hamburg. Was I lied to?
