So I hate bringing this up just as someone is switching the topic, but after looking at the Einen situation I’m a little concerned. Someone brought up the fact that we have no true rogue/thief equivalent (save for Ryn, who’s more of a Ranger), and that prompted me to go look at the final companion count. Not counting additional sets, we’re about to have four mages (Kiyoko, Viv, Agni & Berwyn) and three tanks (Atugia, Azy & Arona). After that we have a healer, a ranger, a dancer, and a berserker.
No disrespect to the authors, and I understand that this is a porn game first and that this is entirely funded by donations. I also acknowledge that I may be making some generalizations about the characters and their roles. But I’m noticing a ton of overlap and I seem to recall that at some point there was an entire document dedicated to preventing just that. On top of that, a couple of these companions haven’t gotten meaningful progress reports in like… forever. I’m looking at Quinin particular, and if I remember correctly Savin said something akin to ‘getting updates on Quin’s basically pulling teeth.’
So here’s my question: what happens now? Are abandoned companions going to be scrapped or given out like Berwyn? Overlapping companions reworked? And why was Main Street in particular the deadline for companions?
