Still, it's always gonna bug me how very little if any role they play in the end game -- and, in many cases, at all in the game beside being either baby factories or methods of turning yourself into one...or both. I know, I know, porn game is porn logic: they are there for mainly that reason, but it doesn't mean even a porn game like CoC can't incorporate some non-smut game logic to it too. I heard a while back that TiTS might eventually have more than the 1v1 battle system it has now, so "gang warfare" is a possibility, and it erks me that CoC has nothing of the sort to make any of the myriad of followers, companions, and lovers/slaves more worth the often lengthy and tedious effort in gaining them in the first place. The good new is that at the very least TiTS looks to be breaking some of that mold and may not it its older age suffer the same issue. And maybe at some point the Revamp can incorporate some form of game-play effect to having a gang, even if only in a less direct sort of way -- say, in some kind of boss fight, Lethice or someone else, they can't use a powerful move because Kiha or the Gargoyle girl will swoop in and smack them on the ass, disrupting their focus. Or even something akin to some scene variations I saw in FoE where victory sex can have a chance for a follower in your party decide to participate. Maybe what you told Helia when commenting on her getting off on Minotaurs changes scenes involving winning fights against them in the Mountains later on. Or, maybe Zetaz comes in one fight at last minute if you didn't kill him to...WHAT A TWIST...start jerking off in front of Lethice or begins mercilessly humping her leg, distracting her briefly and giving you a free turn (but in turn raising both yours and Lethice's lust).
Eh, sorry for the daydreaming...I'm bored. (can you tell?)
