I tend to give leeway because I presume the authors aren't involved in the community. Unless they are, which is fine as well. So at least in my view it's not a failing of the character so much as a limitation of the author and the medium.
I mean, I can enjoy roughness a lot, I just want the person who fucks me up to then cuddle and pamper meTo me it just sounds like y'all want caring doms, not specifically soft ones.
I doubt Garret is truly a dom, I did a few of his scenes just to see what everyone was going on about.. personally he's a grade A asshole, who thinks he's some kind of Alpha and treats women or at least champ with little to no respect in sex, too sure about outside of bedroom. A big man who would no doubt shit himself when coming up against someone his own size and strength.
Nah, its all about framing. Like, there are rough scenes with Evelyn, like the Maid scene, or especially her Anal scene. But they do not read rough as Sera.To me it just sounds like y'all want caring doms, not specifically soft ones.
I've played an example of a game that does do this. At any point during the sex scenes, you can pick the option to say your safe word, and the character immediately stops and makes sure you're alright before cleaning up and sending you on your way. It works well there, because the engine allows the placement of a dedicated Safe Word button outside the text box.

So long as people maintain a grip on the difference between fantasy and reality, I don't see an issue with the game having stuff that would not fly IRL. I used to write a LOT of mind control erotica because it was what turned on myself and my readers. Neither I nor them for the most part would want to see that kind of stuff happen IRL.Yeah, like Philomena, I think that there's validity in wanting a fantasy that turns you on even if it's not necessarily best practice IRL, just as there's validity in wanting something closer to best practice IRL because Doing It Wrong either ruins the horny for you or facilitates bad expectations IRL. That's why I'm glad that Garret and Lyla aren't the only characters who shade into the edges of BDSM in this game, and why I'm happy to see people write (and write myself) stuff that's a little closer to the way BDSM's supposed to be.
I totally understand where everyone else is coming from here, but I really like that TiTS and CoC include what would be unsafe BDSM in the real world. The fantasy is being used and discarded by a bad person and coming back for more anyway because you're that much of a slut. Garret's content isn't super my thing because of the lupine PC requirements and emphasis on canine behavior within the scenes, but I enjoy that general style of fictional domination a lot.
Side note: Your username makes me smile whenever I see it. Really need to do another KOTOR playthrough one of these days!
I agree, I like that CoC/TiTs offers both sides of that kind of content as well as variety in other types of content. As much as I love getting the "good girls" in the softer/safer BDSM stuff, it's also sometimes fun to do the degrading/complete subby slutty mess stuff.I totally understand where everyone else is coming from here, but I really like that TiTS and CoC include what would be unsafe BDSM in the real world.

Not really. I can't speak on Jaelyn cause I haven't really interacted with her after winter city so maybe, but while the dom content, in general, outweighs sub content by a considerable margin, the vast majority of that dom content (like the other 2 you mentioned) has the player as a gentle or soft dom.There isn't? I feel like most Cock-Champion scenes are heavy on the dom side. Especially the anal scenes. There are also quite a few NPCs which touch that
Grainne, The puppy giant just on the top of my head. Or Jael'yn who goes into BDSM (I think? My experience with that is FenCo games )
Also side note: HK-47 discussing safe dom/sub content is also very amusing.
Yeah I mean I don't dislike Garrett and I was kind of into some of his scenes but even with the warning, I thought it was too hardcore. While some extreme stuff like choking is locked when PC is pregnant, he's still pretty rough on pregnant pc in other scenes so...yeah. I mean I would NEVER date characters like Arona and Garrett in real life lol.I explored the Garret stuff largely due to morbid curiosity. The fact that it had a content warning intrigued me and uh.... Absolutely not my thing lmao. Actually kinda left me upset after reading it. However I don't really care that it's in the game. It's there for those who want it and I'm not it's target audience, and recognize it as a fictional indulgence of something that would be no bueno irl.

Oh I like being a subby degenerate too and like some rough stuff but I think particular problems with a lot of doms are that there's not enough show of a softer side to them. I understand enemies/random mobs being rough on you since they don't care/know about you but the npcs where you can interact and build relationships should be different.I agree, I like that CoC/TiTs offers both sides of that kind of content as well as variety in other types of content.

This is why I like the fact that the game is open to pretty much anyone to contribute so long as you can write well. I can do hardcore stuff as much as the next guy, but I like a balance. So it's nice to see a writer doing the softer stuff.I like writing player domme (or player top, really), but I pretty much always go soft domme, lovedomme, momdom type stuff.
Fair enough. I mainly play as a VaginaChampion, so I have other issues with the "normal" Vagina scenes. Like, I am happy having the problem of too many soft topping scenes. Loss scenes generally work better IMO than victory scenes for me. They are framed in the sense of: "OMG dick is amazing, even if the dick-haver is a dick." I feel like most vagina victory scenes are framed the same, like "omg dick is amazing, even if the dick-haver feels bad now." The scenes feel like the dick is doing the work, instead of the VaginaChamp.Not really.

You know I think Hethia kind of raping him made him averse to being bottom or possibly being submissive. Doesn't explain all of his roughness but it's implied he was a virgin before Hethia fucked him. Dick virginity doesn't seem to be taken as special as vaginal virginity but being forced to get fucked with him having no control over it (and he was literally caged and kind of treated like an animal) doesn't do well for a 1st sexual experience. He made it seems like it's not a big deal since he's too prideful to admit it but it might have traumatized him a bit.Sometimes I wish there was an opportunity to turn the tables on Garret a bit, have a VagChamp be a bit more dominant than he was prepared for and start riding him like Hethia in Dog Days. Super macho arrogant guys finding out they're more of a sub than they thought is hot to me, and (grains of salt ready, it's been a while since I did Dog Days) Garret seemed opposed to the Hethia sex, but not so opposed that he had nothing good to say about it; so it might not be the biggest stretch that it was more the "I'm letting myself be raped to protect the loggers" that he objected to wholeheartedly than the "I'm being collared and dommed right now", and might be more receptive should someone do it to him in a less hostile environment. Or I might just be leaping logic because it sounds hot to me.
Yes! Finally someone sees it.Fair enough. I mainly play as a VaginaChampion, so I have other issues with the "normal" Vagina scenes.

What I want is more of twink-god Mallach, and his VaginaChamp scene. This scene was a ride, and a huge breath of fresh air. It was a scene where I felt VaginaChamp was topping, was in control, and was putting in the work.
Again, the lack of twinks in game is disturbing. I know why it is the case, but still...
