Hello. I love Trials in Tainted Space and would welcome even more playable species, but that being said, are plans in place for the future to possibly make Ovir a playable race? I thought it might be a fun alternative.

Ovir is a "playable" race if your character uses the transformation items (Ovir Ace and Ovir Positive) to turn into one, but as a starter race (half-ovir), that has yet to be determined, if at all.

I meant as a starter race, half-ovir, I've been careful about transformation items in this game so far. Thanks for letting me know!

I think we have a nice selection of starter races already though... making too many of the alien species available as starters would also kind of defeat the purpose of a transformation smut-blob like this.

The PC will never be a full alien race at the start of the game, The only full blood you'll ever actually be is Human/Earthling. All others you will be half-human half-something else.

I disagree. There is still plenty of room to move from any given halfbreed into something different and many TFs are for species it is impossible for Vic to have bred with, like the Zil for example, so the PC could never start out as bee-person.


Hell I'd argue that it's lore-breaking for the PC Steele to not possibly be a half-breed of any race discovered before your conception that is compatible with humans if even a tenth of what we've been told about Tricky Vic is true.

Well, remember, Vic still picks Steele Mom from a list of candidates he deems most appropriate/suitable, so that list can be as long or short as Fen wants it to be. Personally, I imagine it'd be pretty short. I think it's kind of weird that Vic knows so many different females of other species that are willing to have his kid totally out of the blue as it is, but my problems with the pregame sequence are well established by now. :p  

Well when you're a 200 year old super rich playboy, it would be weird if you /didn't/ have a list of women willing to be knocked up by you, besides its not like he hasn't knocked up people frequently before hand (and as far as we can tell no one complained enough that even Steele Jr never heard of his half-blood siblings existance before the games start, so Vic is doing something right).

It's weirder that none of his bastard children or their mothers tried to stake any sort of claim on inheritance. An eccentric horndog who owns his own company and is worth a ridiculous amount of money would naturally attract plenty of attention, especially if it's to sire a legitimate heir, so that part's not strange at all.

No, having that is... pretty weird. Giving birth to a child is not like getting some piece of memorabilia from a space celebrity. I'm positive there'd be a whole slew of females willing to fuck Victor, that's not really a question, but taking the leap to having his kid is... pretty huge. 


Because remember, this situation does not involve Steele Mom marrying Vic, having a happily ever after with him while they raise their child together, and becoming a family. This is essentially a kind of surrogacy, which is not something any random woman would be willing to do for another person, even a super-attractive, super-rich celebrity like Victor. There's no explicit mention of Vic offering any kind of reward or compensation for doing him such a monumental service (not until after Vic is already dead, IIRC), either, which sort of implies that whoever he picks would just be willing to have his kid... for shits and giggles, I guess? It's something that's always bothered me since the very first time I played TiTS. It makes no sense.


Thank you for reminding me why Victor is so supremely detestable.


This is a pretty glaring plot hole, honestly, and yet another reason I have an issue with Victor. The "Magnificent Bastard" trope is all well and good, but being completely irresponsible has consequences, no matter how invincible someone thinks they are. The only Steele bastard we've encountered thus far is Shade.


From Shade's bio:


So Vic clearly did nothing for her, and Shade's mother (who is totally absent from the game/lore herself at the moment), for whatever reason, didn't try to pursue anything. It'd be pretty easy to prove Shade was his kid. We can do that nowadays without much issue. Also, Shade was born on the kaithrit homeworld, which is hardly some kind of fringe planet, and Vic certainly wasn't rushing when he was with Shade's mom. He just irresponsibly got her pregnant and then wandered off to do other things.


*fights need to vent simmering rage about Lil' Vicky for the hundredth fucking time*

Yeah i really don't like Vic for these same reasons poor Shade x(

You'd be surprised by the amount of instances of fans and groupies desiring to carry the baby of celebrity x.

Also I'm pretty sure, that Victor wasn't aware that Shade's mom was pregnant, let alone pregnant with his kid and Shade's mom wasn't aware that the male Kaithrit millionaire playboy she was fucking was actually Victor.

The fact that Vic was having this much casual sex and didn't ever think to do something about his own virility is evidence that he's a piece of shit. It would have been simple and easy for someone like Vic to do that. He's living in the super advanced future, it's not the kind of heavy, life-changing decision it is IRL. He could have at least been taking Sterilex every day (inb4 "Sterilex didn't exist back then").

Maybe he was taking sterilex and didn't notice that the 24 hours of it's effect ran out, but that's kind of a stretch too. Then there is the situation that led to Kaede being a baby-daddy. Also there is the sheer amount of anonymous, casual sex that happens apparently in this universe.


edit: also what Krynh saind after me.

The long and short of it is that there's no way to excuse Victor's conduct. He's a piece of shit.

So is half the TiTS universe.

Weeeeeell, you know what forums these are, right?

For some reason.  ¬¬

I was more under the impression that Vic was more part of the symptom along with everybody else, not the source.

Okay, @Savin, I've gotta ask: Do you have some kind of like... "accidental" or "unplanned" impreg thing you're secretly not telling anyone about? Because I'm noticing a trend here. :p  Never really noticed how much you use that scenario until right now.

At least Kaede is there for her kid, though. And isn't roaming around making more just for the hell of it.

Yeah, two or three times out of... like a hundred NPCs sure is a lot :p

This basically par the course, someone creates a thread, question gets answer and the rest of us decide to just derail and shit post it to hell until someone decides to lock it, unless they're extremely amused by the discussion and just let it go until it gets to a point it's flaming ball of crashiness and THEN closes it.

I did wonder why did this thread suddenly doubled in post cont.

We need the Dorna Parents x-pack. :p  

*Briefly wonders how far Syri's incest boner stretches

Well, it's just that I can't really recall you ever writing any major NPC's that wanted to have kids is all. :smugdog:  

Did Helia want to have a kid? I'm genuinely curious because I accidentally wiped away my CoC save before I got to Hellspawn

Sex is only fun and casual when peoples' lives aren't being changed forever by it!

Some people might get a kick out of possible/accidental impregnation. Personally I prefer Ellie's way of just daring the PC to do it.

Where's my lovey-dovey mom-and-pop couple with a few kids that they planned for and raised in a stable environment, huh?

I ain't writing it, but I'd probably fap to it.


Also, the new bakery bunny is kind of a mix: the first time the PC knocks her up its a happy accident, but thereafter she's totally into it. "Breed me more, senpai!"

Did Helia want to have a kid?

Weeeeeeeell, her biology made her want to. She goes baby crazy for a bit, and then immediately regrets everything.

That's... Actually, parent/child incest is really icky to me. Siblings are great, cousins are great :smugdog: , but parents/aunt/uncle/grandparents? No thank you. Something about that "elder/guardian" status really doesn't sit well with me. Which is odd, because I really like motherly, caring MILFS... just as long as they aren't actually my mom. Might be because I'm me, though. I dunno.

Not really my fetish either, but I'm still curious on how far Syri's pervertedness goes  xD


I can be forgiving of mom incest though, but that's mainly because I don't self insert and mainly view it as unrelated milf porn.

like motherly, caring MILFS...

These and the more mature vibe they give off are things I really enjoy about MILF characters  :$


Shade is awesome!!!

Oh...

Understandable.

Typical bunnies...Pretty hot though...

Oh God... don't tell me that's how Saen-puss is gonna play out.


Say it ain't so, Savin. :eek:hdear:  

If we don't pester him about writing Hellspawn 2.0 we might avoid that fate.

If I ever get back to writing instead of just living on these forums like some kind of wretched internet castaway, she won't be the only one that's like that... :D  

Stop. Teasing. Us.

It's the only way I can even try to make myself in any way endearing! I'm sorry!


Teasing and Ranting are my only two modes!  :magical:

What about adorable writing? Is that something in the middle :p  


Hmmm. I think this thread has pretty much stopped discussing Ovirs now...

WHY DO YOU WRITE SUCH SADNESS?


Oh God... don't tell me that's how Saen-puss is gonna play out.

Because characters making horrible decisions and having to live with the consequences is my fetish.


And no, it's not. No pregshit for Saendra ever. 


I have worse things in store for her.

But then the champion proves to be a decent father and doesn't go the helspawn-cest rout and teaches their spawn to fight with sword&board and teaches her to not be a slut like her parents and helspwan learns how to play the guitar and Helia gets all teary-eyed because her daughter got to do something she never had a chance to...   :$

I dunno. Accidentally getting her knocked up on top of her usual capacity to be completely unable to not get into a shitton of trouble sounds like plenty of suffering potential. Moreso if the pirates figure out the baby is the PC's and think to exploit it to try to gather the probes.

That a quite potentialy bad thing for her... especaily if this child turns out to be girl not boy nor herm. And ways that pirates ay use it for probe opening...that give me cribs.... No Xeivous no more cruelty let Savin just be cruel to her :D What if he take your idea to make her live more miserable than he orginaly planned?

Like I said before, as long as we get a rocking boss fight out of it then I'm cool with this.


Though the horrible decisions thing is probably why I don't really like Saendra or run through her content all that often.  The anal-only certainly doesn't help, but I really can't stand being around incompetent people, and that extends to fictional people as well.  It's the same reason I find myself frustrated at Kara even though I really want to like her.  Helia had a rough life, but she generally felt like she was capable of taking care of herself in Mareth.
