What are your gripes/criticism of TiTs?
- Thread starter TheInfamousImmortal
- Start date
Nice to see everyone being productive members of society.
This reminds me of, "if lesbians like masculine women, why don't they just date men", which is dumb. I don't know if that was your intent, but that is how I read it.
You alternate between melee and ranged weapons. Using one basically puts him on guard for it, so you use the other instead. Unless that's what you were already doing and I read it wrong.
I mean I can tell you you're definitely outside the target audience cuz you don't like girlpenis.
But also yeah, the game doesn't really care about you-the-player's kinks or turn-ons. Also if you lose combat (intentionally or not) you might end up getting assfucked by some big burly dude and your Steele's gonna love it like the anal whore he is and cum buckets from it. So, y'know, there's that. Content between the PC and "waifu"-type characters is pretty much always consensual, but the whole nature of the actual gameplay loop, such as it is, is the same rape-or-be-raped from CoC1. The non-combatant NPCs are just window dressing.
Steele's pan, though. Loves everything about everyone. You the player might not, but I'm pretty sure a cup of water could find a way to make Captain Steele pop a boner.
Someday.
personally i think we should all stay hydrated, to help this cause we should all pop boners to cups of water.
There's some validity to not wanting your straight character to suck on a dick, really. I don't think that's a very controversial opinion minus all of the gender identity/sexuality discussion. Fuck I wrote this comment like a day ago and now Savin has made one already. Anyway if you don't like penises attached to women you can get by in TiTS but you might not love it
I don't think straightness has anything to do with it, they just don't like dick. That's perfectly valid, but being an ass about it sucks.
There's not enough ways to get cold resistance. Aside from radically transforming your character or opening up TiTSEd, you're basically fucked if you want to go anywhere on Uveto that isn't the main landing station. There should be, for example, some kind of medipen that temporarily grants cold resistance, or gives you fur for just a little while.

Cold resistance is almost entirely granted by equipment, as per the 'no/minimal racial bonuses' rule. Just get your freezing resistance above 20%/35%/50% (depending on how far from Irestead you're travelling), equip a Heat Belt, Arctic Warfare Belt or Shelter Drone, or use a thermal pack, and you'll be fine.
Yeah, thermal packs (gained from Tlako's welcome baskets btw, Chroma) are dirt cheap AND don't take up an accessory/shield slot.
There's been a problem with Accuracy in the game. Even as a 50/50/50/50 character is frustating how often you miss while the enemies have pin point accuracy. God forbid you play Melee Merc ( I love it but still trash compared to Tech or Ranged Merc).
im not on this level but i agree, i feel so violated after witnessing the breed scene and not having pregnancy after
I don't know why, but this was the funniest shit I've read today. Bravo

When I first started playing, I tried to do a pure lesbian, pure female play-through. I quickly gave up on that do to lack of content. Then I switched to a fem herm and I just viewed all the dicks attached to females of any variety as ultra realistic strapless strapons. That was much more to my liking. Now, I'm still not a fan of males, the only one my Steeles ever intentionally fuck is LDC, but I quite enjoy dicks on the women now. My best advice for new players is to keep an open mind, as they'll be happier and get more out of the game.

I had a similar first experience, though I switched to full males instead of herm, until I went full circle and stuck with pansexual female sluts. I don't mind dudes as long as I have a hot chick for them to fuck. I do agree with your advice, though, you'll get the most out of it if you have an open mind, but I could say the same for life in general. If you just want to fuck chicks, you'll at least make it through the main content pretty easily, it'll just be a shorter trip and you'll have to grind your stats more so you don't get ass-fucked by dudes.
I love pure lesbian stuff but I love women dicking down other women more. In the end, most of my writing is the latter. 'specially since if I get handed down a character design from on high, you can almost guarantee it's got a dick.
"Pure females" and "pure lesbians" are legitimately hurtful terms that proudly transphobic people actually use, and it really sucks to see them here constantly. Just say "dickless" or something.
I would just like to take this moment to state that it was no my intent or desire to be hurtful or any kind of phobic. I have had gay, lesbian, and trans friends of both varieties. I admit that I sometimes speak or type without thinking, and for that I apologize. In this case, I was simply trying to get my point across.
Sadly, we live in a time where if we open our mouths and words fall out, there is a high chance that someone will be offended or hurt. What Phil Anselmo said is true, "you can't please all the people, all the time".

Except cuntboys are a thing in this game, so dickless doesn't say anything about their percieved femininity. I think the "pure" bit might be a bit much, as it alludes to a sense of idealism, but sexuality exists on a sliding scale. What else indicates an egg-bearing, dickless, culturally feminine individual who is only sexually interested in other feminine, dickless, egg-bearing individuals, to the complete exclusion of other genders and/or sexes? Currently, I can look up "pure lesbian" in a search engine, and I can find sexual content and dating sites pertaining to the above. When I look up "dickless", I only find insults and humor pertaining to a percieved lack of masculinity. And a band I had previously never heard of. Interesting.
I will say that something more like "fully female" probably fits better in that case than "pure" female, all things considered.

In addition to all the other fine advice: The Hirudo Devourer can help make up for low Freezing Resist, as long as you're not taking too much damage. Ironically, Tech Specialists are best served by using Armor with Freezing Resist, since they are least dependent on Armor (Smugglers really want Evade). I'm hoping there will be some other area with a hazard so the Shelter Drone will be useful someday. It's overshadowed by all the other options, and it's very high bonus resistances only work out of combat.
They can also be bought from the Essyra Trading Post. The Welcome Basket has two other items you may or may not want. Just make sure you keep an eye on remaining duration. Oddly, they count as Equipment when you store them instead of Consumables.
Bonus Hit Rate is your friend. Also, Ramshackle Power Armor (Roz) gives +10 Accuracy, and the Mark II Aim-assisting Eyepiece should help. FZR Fire Suppression System can cause the Deep Freeze debuff, which lowers target Evade by 50 (and causes hilarious amounts of damage with the Custom Shock Gear or Saurmorian Hammer, because it doubles damage from Crushing attacks).
I don't usually think people say things with negative intent, but because they don't realize it can be hurtful. I wasn't trying to call you out specifically, just the wording.
I did specifically mean "dickless women"(because females sounds weird) or "dickless lesbians", and the "cuntboys" would be "dickless men".
1. The codex is a bit of a mess to say the least, everything is kind of crushed together in the stats and perks screens and on mobile the scrolling for the lore entries refuses to work properly
2. Early-game can get grindy fast trying to earn experience and money
3. Lust builds are underpowered, there are a good number of enemies that are immune to lust and the tease damage cap means that unlike traditional damage builds it's impossible to defeat enemies within one turn making grinding far slower
4. Taint takes far too long to reduce without the use of the timeskip cheat
5. Pregnancy also takes an annoyingly long time without timeskip

2. Mhen'ga is bad, yes. The biggest issue is you can't sell items for anything near their full value. Money gets a lot better once you recruit Anno and can sell to her for 90% of an item's base value. It flips later, and money is no longer an issue. You can easily get huge amounts of money betting at the Uveto Stadium if you have high Intelligence, and enemies can drop some valuable stuff. On Zheng Shi, Mining Robots are ridiculously lucrative, but they pale in comparison to the Custom Bet at the Blackjack table, where you can double your money every time. Either Blackjack needs to be nerfed, there's going to be a huge increase in costs, or money is no longer a concern.
Leveling: It's possible to get into a Ship battle when travelling to Mhen'ga from Tavros. Winning will give you enough XP to go to Level 2, and you can extort about 1000 Credits, if you don't mind becoming a bit meaner (easily dealt with). Tip: Evade when the Z7 has high (60/70+) Energy. If you can successfully Tease Naleen, I find it's pretty easy to go from level 2 to level 3, but Mimbranes are a pain in that part of the Jungle. Once you get the ZK Rifle from Carl, it's a lot better. After that, beating up Vanae will get you to Level 4 quickly, and their spears are very valuable, but you can't sell them for much until you recruit Anno. I'm not sure where the best place to sell them is if you don't.
3. Tease weapons (like the Slut Rays) benefit from your Sexiness (as far as I can tell), and can be fired 4 times a turn by a Mercenary with Rapid Fire and Second Shot. Lust weapons also scale with your Physique/Aim just like any other weapon. The Royal Shard Bow can two-round the Treated Zil Male (with Shoot First, at least). Picking up Bimbo Siegwulfe can also help, although her Tease value is static and enemies become more Tease resistant as you progress. She also gives you a Sexiness bonus equal to 10% of your Intelligence.
Some enemies are a lot easier to beat with Tease. Overseer Maike doesn't enter her second phase, Bored Jumpers will heal HP damage, but can't reduce Lust.
Smugglers are probably best for Tease builds that don't rely on the Mercenary's Rapid Fire + Second Shot combo, because most high Sexiness armor/clothing also has high Evade, and Smugglers get the most out of bonus Evasion.
5. Your apartment on Tavros has an option to skip to the end. You can also increase pregnancy speed. Fertility and Virility Speed Modifiers are averaged to get the pregnancy speed. The current maximum Fertility bonus is 1100% (1000% from Laquine Ears + Incubator), Virility speed is always 100%. (1100 + 100) / 2 = 600.

You're forgetting Breed Hungry. The maximum legit bonus is 1200% or (1200 + 100) / 2 = 650.

You're right. Most sources come with other side effects, so not everyone will consider it worth it, but it's there.
Maximum effective bonus is 650%. (6.5x faster).
For comparison (base length is in hours):
Raskvel: 336 = 14 days
336 / 6 = 56 = 2 days, 8 hours
336 / 6.5 = 51.69 hours
Milodan: 2880 hours = 120 days = 17 weeks, 1 day
2880 / 6 = 480 hours = 20 days
2880 / 6.5 = 443.07 hours
RK Lah: 4320 hours = 180 days = 25 weeks, 5 days
4320 / 6 = 720 hours = 30 days = 4 weeks, 2 hours
4320 / 6 = 664.61 hours
Mirrin (longest pregnancy in the game): 9660 hours = 57 weeks, 3 days, 12 Hours
9660 / 6 = 1,610 hours = 9 weeks, 4 days, 2 hours
9660 / 6.5 = 1,486.15 hours
We'll ignore possible negative effects of accelerating brain development because future technology.

In addition to @Theron 's points on weapon-based lust builds, I find a tease-based lust build is also very effective if Steele uses tease attacks often and is otherwise a tank, with weapons as a back-up for lust resistant/immune enemies (most of whom are easily dispatched and/or weak to either electric or burning damage).

'Psychic' being used as a synonym for 'psionic'. For me at least:
*While it's okay for such beliefs to exist within a purely sci-fi universe, having those beliefs be correct in the same way as they would be in fantasy isn't, as that kind of defeats the purpose of the 'science' part.
- 'Psychic' carries connotations of actual magic, including not only what we see psionics do but also things like predicting the future (non-scientifically, of course), communicating with the dead, etc. that don't belong in TiTS, as well as mysticism and other unfalsifiable, pseudo-scientific (at best) beliefs*.
- 'Psionic', while still being sufficiently not well understood that it is effectively magic, doesn't carry those fantasy-esque connotations (at least, not as much as 'psychic' does) and sounds like something that can, in theory at least, be described rationally and scientifically.
