It wasn't "extreme", but it still managed to (at least) completely miss my point of sudden, enforced out-of-character behavior from the protagonist ("No matter how you played your Steele before, they now suddenly care about a version of honor that has no precedent anywhere else." (Yielding in a...

You gave an exaggerated example of the "We don't like X, we want X to be changed" side of the argument, I gave an exaggerated example of the "It's optional, just ignore it" side of the argument.

"Who cares about consistent characterisation? Let's take some random unrelated short stories, glue them together and pretend it's a game!" See? I can do strawman arguments, too!

The worst part of the stuff you mentioned is "doesn't set Yammi and Reaha free". The rest? For all you know, Bess/Ben is scrap when you find them. You have no idea that they even work, much less that they're a proper sentient A. I. when you sell them. The Pexiga is essentially catatonic as part...

I know that until my ship is big enough to warrant hiring Brandt as link helm, it isn't big enough.

Okay, another big(ger) post... Last time I got distracted by the precedentlessness of the "the loser gets to leave undisturbed because he yielded" code of honor, and didn't make it clear that the point was that "they need to get away, so let's force some random code of honor on the player" is a...

Yeah, "education through sexual slavery" is a ridiculous porn concept. Even here. But here it's a ridiculous porn concept that is incredibly well pulled off, credit to you. So, thanks for allowing me to have a demon servant while keeping my in-game conscience relatively clean.

I'm not saying I need to get to kill them, but this is essentially "letting them go for no reason whatsoever". You might as well have written "Steele though about stopping them, but didn't because he still had to pick up the milk" and it would have been just as in character. And it's almost as...

So, let's see... I'm technically in the "forced loss scenes suck" camp, though not as extreme as Coalsack - I'm fine with the guys getting away, though I'd prefer it to be more a "desperate getaway" rather than the "cocky vanishing act" we get. But that is minor compared to the third encounter...

He's your cousin's animal sidekick. It's animal sidekicks all the way down!

Even with that in mind, it just reads as "be careful with your choices when you're there" to me, not as "abandon all hope (to leave untransformed), ye who enter here". It's way to easy to misunderstand.

Thanks for the quote, but as I see it, it actually proves my (and Darth Meow's) point: It only says that it could have permanent consequences, it does not say that permanent consequences are completely and utterly inevitable the moment you choose Poe A as a destination, without a chance to opt...

The question is whether the player is informed enough to make a proper decision. The warning (which isn't in the mail screenshot above, so it's probably just in the hover text for the planet) apparently says that things can have permanent consequences, suggesting in turn that there's also a way...

Well, you can always sell stuff to Anno... (Unless you don't have her on your ship, but why wouldn't you want her on your ship?) Still, yeah, having a few more ways to sell stuff might be nice.

The Milk Bath scene has a chance to increase ball size. But then, the Vanae are right next to a tree that hands out a free "decrease size of body part" transformative.

Great, now that ship classes are brought up, I suddenly want an Extortionator-class ship called "Plaited Daisies"...

Ah, but have you ever seen your ship and their ship at the same time? Clearly they're the same ship, it's just that your cousin disguises it by putting it in a caped costume. Or maybe your ship is a magical girl and your cousin is its animal sidekick.

The whole "everyone has a room" thing is a question all by itself - the starter ship is essentially described as "cockpit, three bunks, shower"... By Star Trek standards, it's pretty much just a space shuttle, not a proper ship. But somehow, everyone gets their own room. "Bigger on the inside"...

Chelsie stays near the engine room, apparently because it's warm and humid over there, so at least she doesn't need a bed. But I think she's the only one with a non-standard sleeping place.

I never delete my emails, and I still can't find the Poe A mail. So, yeah, it's probably just a scene, not a "proper" mail.
