Polygamy in TiTS

[flying_moustache]

There's a lot of different factors at work there. Honor as a Stormguard's certainly part of it -- Shade's not happy about missing her quarry, hence why she stays on Myrellion for weeks. A lot of it has to do with her remationship to the Black Void and, moreover, the Dread Lord that's taken up on Myrellion and gave her the job. The biggest part, though, is probably that you were dishonest with her, and that your whole relationship was based on false pretenses and deception. That's the real kicker.

If Im honest with her and Kara, they'll fight, more or less kill each other and Ill probably never see either again.

If Im not honest I can sell Kara out to the devil or be an asshole to Shade.

...a shame I cant just knock both out with headbutts and dump them in separate trash bins at different points in the city.

I just want to sleep in bed with Anno and Syri erry night.

I haven't even met Shade yet but I like to imagine getting back at your dad for fucking Anno by fucking his daughter.

Meh, not really being an asshole. It's not like she's strapped for cash, lol.

Oh yeah, there was that poker game I wrote for CoC. That happened!

Adding a bunch of randomized events like that would help considerably, as would voyeur scenes.  Being able to sometimes walk into the diplomatic offices and spy on Lyralla and Juro does a lot to make them feel more like active characters, even though it's a small thing.

Well, now we're talking my language. Might look into writing a few of those at some point.

<3 voyeur scenes. would write them for anyones characters if possible. am writing one right now for savins characters. (though the pc isnt the voyeur, its one of the characters)

Revenge Fuck your sister?

You get +10 to corruption, good sir.

 

[Enigmatic D]

As soon as I saw the word voyeur, I had a scenario of the PC and Anno getting it on while Reaha watches and may join in my head.

I'm not saying every follower should be explicitly omnisexual and astonishingly tolerant along the lines of the characters Savin writes, in fact it would be good if we could avoid that. Like you I'd like to see monogamous or moral characters who don't put up with the PC having a large number of slaves and groupies on board, or if recruiting one character precluded another - think Kara and Shade.

It's not just about relationships - it's how your crew interact with one another as a whole. Think how much nicer it was in ME3 when you happened upon your crew talking to each other, rather than in ME2 where they all pretended the others didn't exist until the end. Of course it's effort doing that kind of shit, but it's worthwhile. Imagine if there was a mess area of the ship where some members of your crew could randomly show up, and play out a scene if they had one.

I must not have said that right...

What I was saying is that monogamous characters should be less common than the omnisexual tolerant ones. 

The bi/multi/omnisexual characters cater to a wider group. It makes sense that you can make your porn game sci fi ship a non stop sex party.

I would like to see the monogamous characters but tbh they would just stop you from getting a lot of content. Any character who doesn't want me to sha-boink every tom, dick and harry i see is going to have to bring A LOT to the table. I'm talking perks, sex scenes, an evolving story... because without all that an npc who wants my captain steele to be monogamous is just as unrealistic as the latter.

Moral characters who don't like you having slaves though... that could be a more common thing. Make it harder to play the game as a good boy/girl with slaves (because, lets face it, that's a bit of an oxymoron)

 

[Ormael]

Voyeur scene...mhm sounds like best solution we can come with atm. Or maybe at all. Some said about counting scenes to write depending on amount of followers. Well now it's not many but looking at number given for 20 of them (I pretty sure in a few years we can come close to this number) is well...it will make game huuuuuuge cuz of share scenes added for that reason. Cuz I not belive such scenes will be like 3-4 lines of text. So some of middle ground is needed.

And good we moved this thing about interaction of crew now when we got like...4 crew members aside PC to deal with.

I did write a birthday cake item some time back that I will probably never finish (and honestly, a birthday system might be a little too much for the game as it doesn't add anything very significant besides a couple of unique events). Regardless, it had a template in it to spit out setting blurbs depending on your crew setup. It wasn't particularly waifu/husbando-focused since they were just there to celebrate Steele's B-day instead of doing romance stuff, but the setup of multiple character interaction was there to account different variations of crew currently on the ship.

It went something like this:

Posse (3 or more followers):

• Anno + Syri + Kaede + Dane = Who let the dogs out? Bow wow wow yippi yo yippy yay, DA BOMB.
• Anno + Syri + Kaede = The slutpuppies be all up in your grill.

Trio (2 followers)

• Anno + Syri = The doggie sisters do that thing they do fur yer berdday.
• Anno + Kaede = The girlfriends give you sex toys for presents because that's how they woof woof.
• Reaha + Gianna = Gianna and Reaha talk about New Texas and you learn how to be all awesome and stuff.
• Gianna + Yammi = Gianna and Yammi bring butt loads of ice cream to the party, yay!

Partner (1 partner)

• Celise = Celise is all like whlk whlk whlk!
• Reaha = Reaha is all like moo moo moo!
• Anno = Anno is all like bow wow WOW!
• Dane = Dane is all like arf arf arf!
• Syri = Syri is all like woof woof woof!
• Kaede = Kaede is all like woof hai woof!
• Gianna = Gianna is all like beep boop beep!
• Yammi = Yammi is all like blub blub blub!

The list is a bit outdated since I last worked on it, and I'm not sure if Kaede is ever part of the crew at any point, but that was something I had in mind when thinking that project up. Too many doge followers!

But yes, I agree that there should be more of a mixed bag, with some characters having a network mesh of interaction, compared to other followers who may have straight-linear interactions. We also might need to keep in mind that not all the people you put on your ship are there for fucking or romantic relationships--but more often than not, it's the standard formula (because harem building is the one true goal!). So factoring relationships between other characters would definitely add to the experience, especially characters who are super picky with the kinds of relationships they'd rather get into.

If there is a guide to help take such interactions into consideration, I'm all for it. It can even range from just tiny scene blurbs to full-out choose-your-destiny type things.

You think I'm disagreeing with you and I'm not. All I'm saying is that every character shouldn't be along the same "I'm fine with you fucking everything, because I fuck everything too lol" lines, just because that's the easiest way of explaining the PC's infedilities. Hell yes there should be a big pool of ubersluts and slaves you can have massive orgies with, but chocolate cake doesn't taste so great if chocolate cake is all there is.

 

[Gardeford]

I hope all the waifu authors in tits remain active. I was sad in coc cause a majority of them had left or been "chased away" so they weren't there to talk to about this kind of thing. Since tits is newer its easier to contact authors

 

[Number13]

Just quickly mentioning, but it's quite possible to do Kara Quest 2 without meeting Shade in it. You just have to show her you're related with the probe (or lie about it) and she'll leave the planet. You can't exactly meet her in the quest if she's not on the planet anymore.

Agreed.

No yanderes, though.

Ah... yes

Nicely put btw

I wonder how a yandere would react if you werent so much attracted to other people as wanted to see her fuckin those people

 

[JesterHell]

Main Topic

I like the idea of having companions acknowledge each other and for conflict to arise when it make sense, an example being that you tell Embry you want a monogamous relationship while having a harem on board your ship.

Kara/Shade

I used to distract Shade and let Kara escape but then I found out Shade's heritage, now helping Kara makes me feel like a traitorous bastard for working against Shade, just like my rival.

 

[Fenoxo]

Nonesuch raises some valid points, but I do have some concern as to how it's handled. As the number of followers increases, the number of reaction scenes increases exponentially. My thought is that if you want a pure waifu who disapproves of you boning 20 of Savin's puppyslut followers at once, her response scene should be generic enough to be independent of the fuckslut who triggered it. That way when space follower embry is coded, she can flip out about how you let Dane fuck the whole way through your body and into the next slut - even if Mr. Thermic has left the community to pursue a career in romance novels. 

 

[Noob Salad]

boning 20 of Savin's puppyslut followers at once

litter when?

even if Mr. Thermic has left the community to pursue a career in romance novels. 

;_;

 

[Dragonman firebane]

Meh, Shade not getting a few credits she doesn't really need isn't really more important than keeping the Black Void from enslaving another person. I just base that choice off of what I'd do in real life. I wouldn't help my sister or brother capture someone and sell them for cash :S

dose shade even know that she working for the void or is this some sort of anonymous bounty dropped on the net?

 

[Karretch]

From discussion in the other thread around Shade, she knows

 

[Savin]

dose shade even know that she working for the void or is this some sort of anonymous bounty dropped on the net?

Oh yeah, she knows. 

 

[VantagePoint]

Not sure how you didn't notice, what she says to Kara upon encountering her is something like "Sorry, you cross the Black Void you gotta pay the price".

 

[Alexa]

 As the number of followers increases, the number of reaction scenes increases exponentially. 

s = f(f - 1)/2 
^^^^^^

That way when space follower embry is coded, she can flip out about how you let Dane fuck the whole way through your body and into the next slut 

Can we have Dane as a follower right now, or is it in the works?

 

[Savin]

Can we have Dane as a follower right now, or is it in the works?

Planned, I think. Or at least in the Wishful Thinking category. 

 

[JimThermic]

That reminds me, I've got to write some kind of scene where Bess/Ben flips out if you're dating another follower and you said you'd be open but not poly. She's got a miniature flip-out scene for sleeping next to folks and not her, but nothing on the Dane boning scale. Maybe also a scene where she's propositioned by someone as well, so you can see it cuts both ways if you decide to have it poly.

Will have to remember to add the same for Emb.

 

[Ethereal Dragon]

 even if Mr. Thermic has left the community to pursue a career in romance novels. 

Wait... what? on the off chance I'm being a dumbass, I'm going to assume this is a hypothetical.
