For a minute I thought you had misspelled exorcised, then spell check told me that excised is a real word so i guess I learned something new today.
It isn't that people take it super seriously (though there are several aspects which people do take seriously), but the main reason why things like that often get heavily shot down is because, well, I feel like "de-dick Etheryn" (along with "de-dick Berwyn") is one of the most common requests made in this thread and the Gripes thread. Often it's recommended for people to search for things themselves. This site has a search feature, and while it's honestly pretty bad a lot of the time, it can still let you look for if this topic has been discussed before, and get answers to your questions and requests that way. If you can't find it in the search, then ask away.Regardless I've learned my lesson. This is a super serious porn game and just throwing out ideas in the "what would you like to see thread" is illegal unless you've read all the backstory and know all about the writer's personal fetishes. Reminds me why I've made at max like 7 posts here.
Well sorry, I guess. I honestly figured that in a thread that has 162 pages no one would care, much less get salty.It isn't that people take it super seriously (though there are several aspects which people do take seriously), but the main reason why things like that often get heavily shot down is because, well, I feel like "de-dick Etheryn" (along with "de-dick Berwyn") is one of the most common requests made in this thread and the Gripes thread.

My thought process was entirely just "oh wow, this game's cool now. CoC often had interesting directions you could take companions, I might as well piss into the wind about these characters I like." The fact that this is apparently a thing and that people actually have taken sides in it is just so divorced from anything I would have considered that it blows my mind.The reason people here don't like de-dicking is because it's viewed (and unfortunately, often done) as character assassination, turning what is usually a brash, confident and self-assured character with a dick into a mewling bitch who only wants some more dickings. I won't comment on that since I myself have written the most pandery companion in the game, but I personally only plan on writing it as part of a character arc.
And before anyone says "well yes but the meaningful character arc was implied", it wasn't. For every 1 person asking for Etheryn dedicking as part of a grand thing to make her feel like a woman or whatever thing they've come up with, there's 99 asking just because they want her dickless so they can fuck her like every other woman in the game. Just look at any blog post for evidence.
It's a somewhat unfortunate situation because both sides get boiled down to garbage, and the issue comes up very often so it's become a sore point.
Additionally, I should point this out, the vast, vast majority of our paying customers like dickgirls, and want more of them. We've polled this pretty extensively. There is no silent majority out there waiting for us to turn the game into a utopian harem paradise, not that anyone here has implied that.

Real talk, this. It just seems like a classic case of "stop not liking what I like". The only reason having the option would necessitate assassinating that character would be if is if it was written that way and writing it that way would defeat the whole purpose of doing it in the first place.....Glances at existing cast.
I feel like we hit utopian harem paradise a while back... Not really sure how their relative status as futas really affects that.
Well I didn't know that. My God, is there anything surrounding these games that doesn't have a massive history of insane community baggage I need to brush up on?Some history about Izma:
Izma was never meant to have dedicking. The author was staunchly against having Izma dedicked. The community at the time so brutally and vociferously mobbed Izma's author until said author was run out of the community, then proceeded to shit all over their character by doing exactly that.
Bringing up Izma brings with it that entire train of baggage.

Now I feel guilty for enjoying it. I hope that the author is doing alright.Some history about Izma:

Nobody mobbed you for having MILF gob at middle of the town that people can not fuck? I am impressed.Hey
I don't have a massive history of insane community baggage you need to brush up on
YET
Oh they still doNobody mobbed you for having MILF gob at middle of the town that people can not fuck? I am impressed.
Fuck. Well, you've managed to make a pretty good game despite all that, so genuine kudos to you. Lesser men would have split.
Hey

You do have a massive history of insane community bulli though.
Fortunately, now that the interminably long appearance rework is finished, every one of us can admire Champ's thights. And it's all thanks to you.
Have you done the Rift content yet? There's already the seeds of something like this (except it's magical tattoos) that will allow you to breathe and communicate underwater, though that's implied future content rather than something implemented. Gardeford has mentioned there are plans for a 'blue whale mermaid' in the distant future so assuming that's still coming there will be more aquatic races eventually.what about mermaids? I found very rare mentions. sorry if already discussed)
I think it would be great to have a transformation that gives you temporary external gills, like a newt, to be able to communicate with mermaids on their territory.

(the gills would fall off when the PC leaves the water area)
what are you hoarding? I assumed if you only placed special gear in the chest it would hold everything and then some. If it's consumables or common items can't you just sell it and buy it when you need it considering you have excess amounts of money?The game desperately needs more storage space, am butting up against the limit despite having what I believe every currently available upgrade and having returned some uniques to their owners.
Just got done donating to the orphanage to max it out, with all the pointless sacks of coins I now possess could melt them down and forge chests outta the stuff nevermind buy more containers!
Does the short sword have a different description than a regular one? Because I've been tossing it every time I make a new character.The wine is a gift from Ryn so don't feel right just dumping it and I saved the short sword you get at the start of the game for sentimental reasons. Apart from that I've been clearing out the couple of other 'generic' type items I kept in storage.
The storage capacity is going to need to increase sooner rather than later as new content keeps getting added and more uniques drop (like the Silver Mask which is what started tipping things for my stash.)
Awwwww. Now if only the wine's Libido-reducing effect worked as well on Ryn as it does on us, we could help her with her perma-horni and get drunk together at the same time. xDThe wine is a gift from Ryn so don't feel right just dumping it
