FenLocke Challenge

[Ich_Hab_Keine_Lust]

Much like the NuzLocke challenge for Pokemon, the FenLocke challenge is a series of self-enforced rules designed to make the game more interesting.
I started working on this for my own pleasure about two years ago, but I've only played the game through with them once. I was holding off posting this until I played through the game at least once with every class so that I could properly balance everything, but I've realized that's not going to happen anytime soon so I'm publishing them as is. Maybe if I ever finish I will update, but anyway, point is that if you see a rule or a number that you don't like, feel free to ignore it, change it, add your own, whatever, and you're definitley not 'cheating' by doing so.
As for the rules themselves, I've split them into three separate sets which I'm going to be posting below. All three are completley independent of each other, so again, feel free to mix and match however you choose. (for example, you can play using rulesets 1 and 2 but not 3).

Here's a summary so you don't bother reading what you're not interested in:
Ruleset 1 makes the game more difficult.
Ruleset 2 adds a feminization component. Everytime something 'submissive' happens to your character you become more feminine. Everytime something 'dominant' happens to your character you become more masculine.
Ruleset 3 adds a random tf component.

Ruleset 1 - Difficulty
The aim of these rules is to make the game more challenging. There are obviously limitations given how easy the game is already, but playing as a Tech Specialist I was definitley losing a fair amount of battles. In particular, Tarkus and Uveto were quite challenging.

A. In Combat Rules
1. No running
2. If you are a level higher than your enemy, you must wait every other turn.
a. Unless you are struggling or standing up
b. (After level 10 this should probably be changed to "if you are two levels higher").
3. Fantasize - Every time an enemy hits you with a tease attack, you will have the following % chance to fantasize: A + B + C
a. A = (note: Will != Will + Resolve)
i. -5 if your WQ >= 75%
ii. 5 if your WQ <= 25%
iii. 0 else
b. B = (Only applies if enemy has a addiction/submission mechanic)
i. 0 if addiction <= 25%
ii. 5 else if addiction < 75%
iii. 10 else if addiction <= 100%
c. C = (This is your personal preference [i.e. not Steele's])
i. 0 if the attack does not particularly arouse you
ii. 5 if it does
iii. 10 if you think it is especially sexy (i.e. minotaur cum flick for me)
4. Attacks - the aim of this rule is to get you to focus on both aim and physique. (Of course you ignore this if the enemy is flying or has a ripsote, or whatever)
a. If you are hit with a meelee attack then next turn you can use a meelee weapon only
b. If you dodge a meelee attack then next turn you can use a meelee weapon, a sidearm, or tease
c. If you dodge a super meelee attack (i.e. high jump kick) then next turn you can do anything
d. If you are hit with a ranged attack then next turn you can use a ranged weapon only
e. If you dodge a ranged attack then next turn you can do anything

B. Out of Combat Rules
1. New Stuff - These are new additions to the game that I have not tested but just seem completely broken
a. No medkits (from Bianca)
b. No tents / camping
2. No Resting in a danger area
3. No Masturbating in a danger area
4. Lust Relief: (Of course you can make exceptions for one time only scenes)
a. You can only have sex with an NPC if you have at least 50 lust
b. You can only have sex with a defeated enemy if you have at least 60 lust
c. You can only jerk off if you have at least 75 lust
5. Stat Grinding rules: (i.e. Ten Ton Gym)
a. You are only allowed one day of grinding per probe you collect
b. You may only spend your grinding day on one planet
c. You may only grind an event once per probe.
d. Your grinding day ends when you rest
(So for example I can swim and lift and then I'm out of energy so my grinding is over. Or I can train with Ramis and Semith)
6. To prevent you from being overleveled, you must follow this level guide. Of course you do not have to do every quest on the list, but if you choose to do the quest, you should be at the corresponding level. (Note: some quests are listed at different levels for the sake of convenience. If this is the case, the actual recommended quest level will be in parentheses [i.e. Fazian(5)])
a. Level 1 - M'henga 1 + Haswell + Penny 1
b. Level 2 - M'henga 2 + Kase
c. Level 3 - M'henga 3 + Azra 1 + Carl
d. Level 4 - Saendra 1
+ Tarkus 1
e. Level 5 - Tarkus 1.1 + Anno + Azra 2 + Colenso + Kimber
+ Saendra 2
f. Level 6 - M'henga 4 (7) + Whorizon (7)
+ Myrellion 1 + Fazian (5) + Kara 1 (5)
g. Level 7 - Myrellion 2
h. Level 8 - Myrellion 2.1 + Ara_Kei + Kara 2 + Sellera
+ Akane 1 + Kashima + Penny 2 + Penny 3 + Pexiga + Riya (7)
+ Uveto 1 (7) + Uveto 2 + Deep_Sea (?)
i. Level 9 - Ula + Syri
+ Zeng_Shi 1
j. Level 10 - Zeng_Shi 2
+ Akane 2 + Kiro
k. Extra Content
i. Gabilani Vacationers on Tarkus after Tarkus 1.1
ii. Sydian Cuntboy on Tarkus at Level 6
iii. Lumi on Tarkus at Level 7
iv. Milodan Amazon + Milodan Brute on Uveto 2 weeks after first visit (Level 9 recommended)
v. Zil Bull on M'henga North East after Zeng_Shi 2

C. Optional Extra Hard Mode (UNTESTED JUST AN IDEA):
1. Slut mode: Only allocate 10 skill points per gained level.
2. Bimbo mode: Only allocate 7 skill points per gained level.

Ruleset 2 - Feminization
Just as a forewarning, this ruleset will require you to keep track of points after every single battle and sexual encounter.
The way this works is that after your score reaches a certain threshold you consume a tf that increases/decreases your femininity. Then your score resets to 0 and you repeat.
I want to stress that these numbers are created for my playstyle, which occasionally involves making 'mistakes', such as 'forgetting' to sell an expensive egg I picked up. If you are going to be taking this seriously, you'll want to adjust the numbers to make it harder. As for a reference, in my most recent playthrough by the time I got to Tarkus I had taken one Man-Up and one Estrobloom.

A. Score - Every time one of these events happens, add or subtract from your current score. (Note: Although I do think the scoring system should be different for girls, I've never actually gotten to that point with my character, so these numbers for "if Female" are all pulled straight out of my ass.)
1. Positive Scoring
a. If you are cool in public
i. +1 if Male
ii. +2 if Female
b. If you defeated a boss
i. +1 if Male
ii. +1 if Female
c. If you defeated a masculine enemy
i. +0.4 if Male
ii. +0.4 if Female
d. If you defeated a feminine enemy
i. +0.2 if Male
ii. +0.2 if Female
e. If you defeated many easy (i.e. low level) enemies
i. +0.1 if Male
ii. +0.1 if Female
f. If you have sex
i. +0.1 if Male (+0.3 if you are dominant)
ii. 0 if Female (+0.6 if you are dominant)
g. If you father a child
i. +1 if Male
ii. +5 if Female
2. Negative Scoring
a. If you lose your (vaginal) virginity
i. -5 if Male
ii. -5 if Female
b. If you are humiliated in public
i. -1 if Male
ii. -2 if Female
c. If you are gang raped
i. -3 if Male
ii. -2 if Female
d. If you are raped analy and oraly (by same creature)
i. -2 if Male
ii. -1.5 if Female
e. If you are raped analy
i. -1.5 if Male
ii. -1.3 if Female
f. If you are raped vaginaly
i. -2 if Male
ii. -1 if Female
g. If you are raped oraly
i. -1 if Male
ii. -0.7 if Female
h. If you are raped oraly by a female (cunnilings)
i. -0.8 if Male
ii. -0.4 if Female
i. If you have submissive sex
i. -0.3 if Male (-1.0 if it is humiliating)
ii. -0.1 if Female (-0.4 if it is humiliating)
j. If you are defeated by health
i. -0.6 if Male (-0.8 if enemy is feminine)
ii. -0.4 if Female (-0.8 if enemy is feminine)
k. If you are defeated by Lust
i. -0.4 if Male (-0.8 if enemy is masculine)
ii. -0.6 if Female (-0.8 if enemy is feminine)
l. If you masturbate
i. -0.2 if Male
ii. -0.2 if Female
m. If you give birth
i. -5 if Male
ii. -3 if Female
n. Per day pregnant
i. -0.2 if Male
ii. -0.1 if Female

B. Feminization (Feel free to make your own game like Amazon to Bimbo)
1. Game 1 - Bull to Bimbo
a. If your score reaches +8, reset to 0 and:
i. Take a Man-Up
ii. OR if your masculinity is greater than 0
s. 20% chance to take a Man-Up
s. 80% chance to take a Man-Up + ReductPro(Breasts)
iii. OR if your masculinity is greater than 40
l. 30% chance to take a Man-Up + Suma Cream + ReductPro(Breasts)
o. 20% chance to take a Man-Up + Throbb + ReductPro(Breasts)
l. 50% chance to take a Mino Charge (Take 2 first time you roll this)
iv. OR if you masculinity is greater than 69 get treated (BULL)
b. If your score reaches -8, reset to 0 and:
i. Take an Estrobloom
ii. OR if your femininity is greater than 0
r. 10% chance to take Estrobloom
o. 70% chance to take Tittyblossom
f. 10% chance to take Tittyblossom + ReductPro(Cock)
l. 10% chance to take Estrobloom + Pussybloom
iii. OR if your femininity is greater than 40
r. 10% chance to take Tittyblossom + ReductPro(Cock)

a. If your score reaches +10, reset to 0 and:
i. Take a Man-Up
ii. OR if your masculinity is greater than 40
l. 30% chance to take a Man-Up + Suma Cream
o. 20% chance to take a Man-Up + Throbb
l. 50% chacne to take a Mino Charge (Take 2 first time you roll this)
iii. OR if you masculinity is greater than 69 get treated (BULL)
b. If your score reaches -10, reset to 0 and:
i. Take an Estrobloom
ii. OR if your masculinity is less than 30
l. 80% chance to take Twink-ease
o. 10% chance to take Estrobloom
l. 10% chance to take Estrobloom + ReductPro(Cock)
iii. OR if your masculinity is less than 21 get treated (FauxCow)

C. Sexual Temptation - This rule was created to help me settle (ridiculous) dilemmas like "Wow I have 90 lust I shouldn't be able to resist Brynn's cock. But on the other hand that would be pretty gay I think I'll just leave." So I guess 99% of you guys won't find this interesting, but just keep in mind that my scoring system accounts for these these occasional submissive fucks.
Under this rule, you compute an equation and if the result is greater than or equal to your maximum lust, you have to do whatever your Steele is being seduced into doing.
(Note: Will != Will + Resolve)
(Note 2: d20 means you generate a random number between 1 and 20)
1. Lust + [(1/WQ) * 10] + d20 + A + B + C
a. A =
i. 0 if the situation will give you a negative score (i.e. raped oraly gives you -1 score)
ii. -1 * [(Masculinity * 2 + 40) / (8 * X)] else, where X =
r. 1 if humiliating sex
o. 1 if blowjob
f. 0.67 if anal
l. 0.5 if gangbang
b. B =
i. 0 if the character who is seducing you has no addiction or dominance score.
ii. X/4 else, where X = your score out of 100%.
c. C =
i. 15 if you have Breed Hungry perk and sex will be vaginal
ii. 5 + A if you have Buttslut perk and sex will be anal
iii. A if you have Corrupted perk
iv. 10 if you have Cum Highs perk and you are not high and sex will be oral
v. 5 if you have Dumb4Cum perk and sex will be oral
vi. 5 if you have Easy perk
vii. 5 if you have FaceFucker perk and sex will be oral (recieving)
viii. 15 + A if you have Omega Fever perk and sex will be anal
ix. 0 else
d. If you have Weak Mind or Weak Willed perk, divide your Will by 2

RuleSet 3 - Random TF
This ruleset is inspired by NukuValantine's game Flexible Survival (which I definitley do not recommend).
The rule is that every time you end up intaking another characters sexual fluids you have a % chance of consuming an associated TF. Some of these transformatives are really crazy (like anything William writes) so again feel free to pick and choose.

A. Calculate your chance to take a transformative using the following equation: (5 + X)% chance
1. X =
a. 5 if Taint is at least 25
b. 10 if Taint is at least 50
c. 15 if Taint is at least 75
d. 20 if Taint is at least 100
e. 0 else
2. Transformative to use:
a. Antae - Dove Balm
b. Ausar - Ausar Treat or Red Rocket (Roll)
c. Gabilani - Big Green Potion or Goblinola Snack Bar (Roll)
d. Galotian - Galo Max
e. Gold Myr - Gold Pill or Orange Pill (Roll)
f. Gryvian - Draco Guard
g. Huskar - Huskar Treat or Red Rocket (Roll)
h. Kaithrit - Nepeta
i. Kerkoras - Kerkoras Venom
j. Korgonne - Korgonne Snacks
k. Kui Tan - Nuki Cookies or Nuki Nutbutter (Roll)
l. Lacquine - Lacquine Ears
m. Lizan - Reptillium
n. Naleen - Naleen Nip
o. Nyrea - Nyrean Rock Candy
p. Raskvel - Ruskvel
q. Red Myr - [Red Pill or Orange Pill (Roll)] + Red Venom (50% chance)
r. Rodenian - Mousearrela
s. Ovir - Ovir Ace or Ovir Positive (Roll)
t. Saumorian - Orefish Shard
u. Suula - Siren's Bounty
v. Sylvan - Sylvanol
w. Terran - Terran Treat
x. Vanae - Sky Sap
y. Virdii - Lucifer Candy Apple
z. Xhelarfog - Xhelarfog Plus Pill
t. Zil - Zil Ration of HoneyDew/Pot (Roll)
o. Cat - Catnip
o. Dog - Canine Popper or Pupper Popper (Roll)
m. Deer - Taurico Venidae or Taurico Venidae Light (Roll)
a. Goat - Capraphorm
n. Fox - Foxfire
y. Horse - Horse Pill
f. Hyena - Cackler
u. Lion - Lion O's
c. Panda - Panda Pro or Pandaneen
k. Pig - Swineapple
m. Red Panda - Red Panda Pro Plus or Red Pandaneen Plus
e. Shark - Shark Bites
n. Sheep - New Ewe
o. Siren - Siren's Bounty
w. Tentacle - Tentacool
!. Wolf - Lupinol

A Note on compatability - if you are playing with ruleset 2, some of these tfs can cause problems by modifying your penis/breast size or your femininity. In this case, simply save scum until you proc a transformation that modifies none of these.

Wow this formatting is shit.
I'm going to attach a txt file

 

[Crablord]

i dont think my brain cells could handle this

 

[Paradox01]

i dont think my brain cells could handle this

I don't think my patience could handle this.

 

[Emerald]

i dont think my brain cells could handle this

I couldn't even get past the first post without going NOPE.

 

[Ich_Hab_Keine_Lust]

i dont think my brain cells could handle this

I mean, I know it's a wall text but given how its like every month that I see a someone complaining about how the game is too easy or how the game should have forced transformation, at least someone will find it interesting.

 

[Paradox01]

Interesting? Maybe. Realistic? Not even close.

If this were an on/off option, it might be interesting. As it stands, people would have to have a flowchart of your rules open next to the game window and check it every 9 seconds. Not to mention a cheatsheet/living document with every Perk and body part their PC currently has. And a scientific calculator. And an RNG app. Oh, and quick access to every single TF available in-game without travelling to and from every single store in the universe every 90 seconds.

There's increasing game difficulty and then there's...this. The gameplay should be difficult, it shouldn't be difficult to play the game.

lol you just described exactly how I play the game

I think the idea is good but it need to be simplified. The allure of the Nuzlocke challenge is how easy it is to understand and play, I will try to simplify a few things:

1) Inventory, aka What you can carry:
- You must carry only 1 weapon of each type(Melee/Ranged), and only 1 armor. If at any point you get more than one, you have to drop the excess before moving from that square.
- You can't buy extra space in your backpack, 10 slots is all that you got.
- You can only purchase items that are for transformations or items for key events (like a dress with classy tag, or stuff to Eitan quest), item for healing, refill energy can only come from drops or loot.

2) Fights:
- No running from fights.
- Can only sex one enemy per day.
- If your Lust is bigger than 50% you must fantasize the turn after you got hit with a tease attack.
- If your opponent missed his last attack you can use whatever you got otherwise you must use the same type of attack he used.
- You can only use items from the planet you are on, example: Mango can only be used in Mhen'ga.
- You can only masturbate in safe Squares or the Ship.


3) TFs:
- You can only save scum TFs that cost more than 5K credits. (The number is subjective but the point is if you get a cheap TF item you have to play with whatever it does to your character).

4) No grinding points, only can use from leveling up.

Personally I don't think that would be enough to make the game super challenging, Steele is quite overpowered mainly because they level up too fast. As a Tech they have acess to Paralisys at level 1 and shield+energy restoring at level 4. I suppose you can forbid yourself from using Specials to add difficult but then I think a few bosses may be too hard to face against, like Amara and Hopper.

That sounds brutal.

- Can only sex one enemy per day.

This is a good idea.

Yeah, I've been playing through on and off throughout the year and so far it's easier than I remember the first time. I think the most important thing in terms of difficulty is to follow the level guide I typed and make sure you're not a higher level than your enemy. If I had the time/interest I would experiment with only adding 1/2 points per level up, or maybe just choosing one perk every two levels. I recently found out that the charge weapon perk is really powerful. Maybe I could also try a playthrough as a smuggler or merc, maybe that is harder.

Anyways, glad at least one person found this interesting!
