Least Favourite TiTS Character.
- Thread starter Number13
- Start date
(Oh boy, this thread. Obligatory reminder to keep critique to the characters and avoid attacking the author him-or-herself.)
EDIT: Doctor Badger, by such a huge margin that I'd convinced myself she didn't exist until reminded later in the thread.
Embry, for sure. She's probably really cute, but I hate hate hate how she was written entirely to have her transition story be her big central arc when that should be a complete non-issue for a coreward race in the TiTSverse. Like, there are so many more interesting ways to approach a trans character is a setting that's presented as being so liberal about at-will body alteration than having to contrive reasons why her race can't take body mods. I'd have much rather seen something like a post-transition character who you only could ever find out was modded if they told you way after the fact, or someone a douchey PC was manipulating into gender-bending to suit your tastes (before having to deal with some sort of cost ramification, maybe a one-way trip to Beth Carver's office).
Kelly is a close second. Everything about her visual design rubs me the wrong way. Furry, multi-cock, that coloration... it's enough that I've never wanted to so much as talk to her. :V

I don't like the Myr and other planet-company. The lot of them. I dunno why, part of it is just probably the theme of the planet nixing any real aspects of adventure and what not. Maybe I just don't like ants, subconsciously. Dunno. It has made the past while of Myr content rather grating, admittedly.
Beyond that sweeping argument, probably Deliliah. Re:gender identity threads mostly, I don't like how the character was handled and, personally, I think it hits more "This is kinda messed up tbh" levels then "how lewd."

Penny, Kiro, Emmy. I don't like furries. I don't like hyper animal dicks. I hate the fact they're exactly the same character, done three times (four if you include Urta), a stupid amount of the main dev's time spent setting each of them up simply because that character gets him going.
The deuce of it is Fen isn't bad at writing character development. If he'd just consolidated the lot of them into one or two characters it wouldn't be anywhere near as annoying. As is, it's a massive chunk of his writing I am under no circumstances ever going to read.

Wow, you guys took all the good ones pretty fast.
Well, I already don't like dickgirls, but I can tolerate them most of the time. All of them except for Kiro and Emmy. They're just, I dunno, excessively dickgirl. I wish I had a better way to describe it.

I don't mind hating my character for the fetishes, but to say they're all the same person is a bit of a gut-punch.
I'd probably put my least favorite as Embry as well. Aside from Savin's complaints, I know the IRL person that she's modeled after, which makes such a simulacrum jarring.
Nyrea are probably up there too, which is strange, given they should tick so many of my fetishes, but they're just too weird under the surface (and Renezuo's spike-cock picture didn't help things). I am really looking forward to Uveto, though.

They're dickgirls who have a heavy, even central, focus on their dick rather than having their dick be just one facet. That's super hot for people who have massive dick-girl lust, but I can understand the turn-off if that's not your thing.
I regret certain design choices. The more I think about it, the more I wish I'd gone with something like either kitty-cock nubs like a kaithrit, or else something like tiny prehensile tendrils like Minerva's. Oh well.

Isn't her race/family deeply conservative and against it though? Or is it tied into the whole not being able to mod, so they don't like it?
Well... Maybe this is because their fetishes are more prominent than their personalities? And, since that are the same fetishes... It creates a recognizable signature.
About the theme - actually, lots of them. For design, most of the "aliens", especially whole Myrellion, also New Texas deserves cyclonic torpedo. And for personality... Can't say I really hate someone.
I'm not a fan of Kiro, in the kaede prequal it was shown that she straight up raped Kaede* which kind of ruined the whole character for me, its one thing where its some native primitive who you have been warned about and whose culture looks at sex differently or needs it to survive, but Kiro is a civillized, cultured alien who is aware of the law. Then in her talk scenes she talks about how she hates slavery (which in TiTs is always sexual) and slavers giving her a very hypocritical vibe.
* I know Kaede enjoyed it, so it leaned towards the consenual side, but what if Kaede wasn't a slut? What if she was some innocent girl. It doesnt matter if Kio's victims enjoyed it or not its the fact that she doesnt care.

Nonesuch and Sav covered my dislikes of Penny, Kiro, Emmy and Kelly pretty well. (Pfft it wasn't until Sav described Kelly that I even remembered her by name...) Cause after the first time I ran through her horse/bunny herm content I took a policy of staying clear. Which has led to minor confusion regarding recent posts in other threads. People mentioned a Kelly and caused me to wonder if there was new backer build character I hadn't heard of. I'm sad that isn't the case now...
I not particularly fond of Aurora either. She feels out of place in the porny hyper sexed setting of the game. I hope the bat loli won't continue to be the only example of her species in game... A sexable adult bat person would be neat.

I think my distaste for basically Myrellion as a planet is well on record at this point, so I won't go into details here. Suffice to say there's a reason my creative output skyrocketed when we started in on Uveto.
Other than that...look, unlike Nonesuch I actually do like furries, and dickgirls, and I'm actually pretty fond of Penny. I'm still really skeeved out by Kiro even on runs where I go through her content. She's exactly what I would hope a dickwielding Steele is not: excessively hung, basically treats women like toys. She also collects panties, which is really gross and I kind of hate that we automatically do it now too. Having an option to refuse would be nice.
Emmy I'm okay with, but I wish her dick wasn't so comically huge that she's titfucking herself under her suit in her official art, and yeah it's hard not to feel like she bumps up against the other two. Penny is my favorite of the lot in fair part because her dick is the least outrageous. It doesn't help that actually getting to the point of having sex with Emmy is a highly unintuitive process: without the aid of the wiki, someone playing this game on their own could not possibly figure out that you don't need the flower because of how weird and highly specific the dialog path you have to take is. And for all that setup time, both in game and in Fen's dev time, I don't feel like a lot is really gained unless you're highly into her fetishes. It's just too much complexity to gate the reward when the reward is so similar to things we already had.
Bess and Embry both fall into the same space for me: I like JimT as a writer very much and am saddened by his leaving, but he also wrote a pair of bubble characters. Bess in that her complexity was a mistake as anything but an engine test and has made her functionally impregnable to interactions with other characters, Embry in that she invented a problem that otherwise does not exist outside her one specific species just so that Steele could solve that problem. I don't hate either character, but I thought we were trying to avoid bubble waifus for TiTS after CoC was flooded with them.

Oh boy, I'll keep this as brief as possible:
Gene, his "alpha" personality and speech rubs me the wrong way, big-time. The only saving grace is that, thankfully, the writer put in a path to reject him, whilst still being able to use his shop.
Every. Single. Treated. Character. Bimbofication and similar male-centric transformations are *not* my cup of tea, and I avoid them like a viscous, toxic sludge.
Del, as I dislike sissification and other forms of forced gender-transititioning. However, this is more due to the writing and situation the player and the character is put in, rather than the actual character of Del.
Dr. Badger, see my opinion on treated characters above, it goes double for her. Absolutely haram.

Which characters I dislike completly depends on my mood during playing it, weirdly enough. oO
Most characters are interesting, personality wise, (maybe because I forgot the rest
) but the thing I actually dislike are oversized dicks & boobs. It was certainly easier to ignore that part without the busts (but they are to good to be turned off, what a dilemma x_x).
The only character I somehow always dislike is Kara. No idea why, but somehow she rubs me the wrong way.. Well it makes deciding between her and Shade easier

I blame, for the lack of a better word, the porn focus of the game for that. As a player, you just spend a lot more time and have a lot more interactions with the sexual aspects of the characters. It's true for most of the sexable NPCs, and it's a necessity. I'd love to know more about Kiro's piracy-related escapades; her conquests; why she maintains such a questionable, super competitive dick- and self-centered facade/attitude. Or Penny's life in a bad neighborhood and her street smarts; her weeb and sport's fan sides; her cop routine; the dom side of her switch nature. But those aren't in the focus. I haven't done enough of Emmy's content to know for sure, but I'm willing to bet that things like her gun-nuttery, her past on one of Ausar core worlds and the experiences with bigotry take a backseat compared to her struggles with sexuality and libido further down the line.
On the other hand, Kiro and Penny do have enough differences even if you look at their sexuality. But you have to dig pretty deep into their content for those difference to start showing.
I liked other, not-transition-related, aspects of Embry (both realized ones and ones stuck as abandonware) much more, however I didn't find the arc itself grating. Probably because I'm strongly lodged into a 'traditional' society (Heil, Putin!) and don't see anything inherently wrong with making one core race into a bastion of traditions/cesspool of bigotry. Definitely liked her existing arc more than I would have another opportunity for PC to be an evil manipulative bastard, with or without karmic retribution involved.
There is not a single character I dislike, and if I have to pick the least liked one, that will be the current version of Rival, for being an intentional throwaway cliche occupying one of the character slots in the main quest. Even they can get better pretty easily though.

Oh God. Right. I had just blanked out her existence by the time I replied first. Lemme fix that.
None with their personality being much more prominent than said kinks, at least for me, and a good chunk of those for whom the opposite is true. Besides, that may be a faulty assumption, but I've always thought that Fenoxo needs to be stricter with conservation of details for his characters and so he prioritizes porn-y aspects.
@Corivas
Oh yes, the doc. I ratted her out so fast on my main save I forgot about her. Still wouldn't have been my pick, because while I don't find oversized badgers very sexy, she has the derpiest bust and a couple of derpiest scenes to her name.
It is actually interesting how much word "highly" is essential here. Even as much as I like dickgirls and furries I barely can get into them.
And Aurora is nothing more than big "fuck you" for all who are into things which are blacklisted here.
Lol. Me too. She is soo awful I've failed to remember she is there.
Her race isn't immune to mods, they can still mod themselves but their immune system is so strong that they are forced to buy TF's that have a FAR stronger dosage than normal TF's.
It was her family that was traditional and were disappointed at her reveal for them that she wanted to be a girl.
As for Penny, Kiro, Kelly, and Emmy I really do like "furries" and hope that there will be more added in the future. But the one thing that rubs me the wrong way with them is how Hyper/Overly sexulized they are or can be. As for Kelly, when I realized where her content ended I decided that she's not with the time. Cause IMO, her content just seems to stop abruptly.
I think I'm gonna have to agree with you on that one about Emmy and Kiro, Sav.
I agree with that, we get a brief glimpse at Penny's past. As far as I know, I don't think Kiro has talked about her past at all.
And you would be right about that.
I don't understand what you mean about that part for Embry. Also 'Bubble Waifus'?
Also I would have to agree on with Woider, Bimbo's or Bimbofication ain't my cup of tea either.

Why Aurora and not Crazy Carl or Colenso then? Just because of 'gotta catch 'em all mentality'?

Indeed Badger is a character that I think many of us have blanked out...
Isn't there an option to flirt with Carl? (I've never made use of it though so I'm unaware if he's sexable or not.) Colenso would be an interesting potential lay. A sex scene with him would probably have a lot of silly mode potential... I'm not into m/m but damn that could potentially be really funny as fuck...

Both Crazy Carl and Colenso are male and their busts don't show ideal bodies.
Crazy Carl and Colenso are children? I wasn't aware of that. I guess I object to them, too, for the same reasons I object to Aurora.
To be serious, my objection to Aurora is she's an unaccompanied (no parent or other guardian figure) kid in the middle of this highly sexualized game universe. It's not the not having sex with her that bothers me at all. It doesn't help that I find the "offbeat kid genius" archetype annoying.
It's a little insulting that you jump to the idea that it's a "gotta catch 'em all" mentality and that people object to Aurora because they want to have sex with her.
I'm neither here nor there about Aurora, but if I've got a concrete problem with her it is the fact she's got a preeeetty ambiguous bust, at least her non-Gats one. I don't look at it and think "that's a kid", I look at it and think "you act quite childishly for a sixteen year old". Wouldn't be much of a problem, except, y'know. It's a porn game.
EDIT: Also yes, Dr. Badger, collectively blocked from memory, actually is the worst character, etc. etc.
