2handed weapons are balanced with the assumption they will occupy both hand slots (even if I feel like they lack a bit of oomph compaired to dual-wielding)
Also, it may or may not be a pain to code.

..........that's a fair assumption to make, but I can't see that as a strong enough argument that could be made for this case. In my vanilla experience playing through CoCII, outside of save editing you can't ever really be "overpowered". I can see how strong the perk could potentially make some late game warrior builds by letting them use stats from 2 two-handed/non-light weapons, but even then the enemies we'll be facing by the time we can even use this 9th lvl perk will more than be able to handle said stat combination. Many of the better 2H unique weapons have a negative stat to counter how effective they perform, the stat tank from two weapons could in itself prevent any build from being too strong, it'd either require a attribute or equipment change to compensate preventing any one stat from ever being too too high.
If need be, I will gladly code it myself I'd be more than happy to. But I'm not just talking about two-handed weapons here. Like @Shrike675 mentioned, warriors being able to monkey grip would let them use any weapon in either weapon hand slot, so you do two shields, two quarterstaffs, two non-light one-handers.
Honestly the perk is more for character headcannons and less how effective am I in combat. What with lvl 7 granting 2 mutually exclusive options for perks - for warriors, Tough Skin & Cleaving Strikes offering PCs a defensive or offensive path of play - I figure lvl 9 will more of the same, just another offensive or defensive perk to futher specialize your pc's type of fighting style. So if Giant's strength is the offensive side, the defensive side of that could be a perk that grants warriors passive health regen once drops below 50% and +15 armor, +15 power & +15 evasion so long as the health is below 50%, call it Battle Junkie.
I'll say this: If you can dual-wield two 2-handed weapons, then why would you ever use one 2-handed weapon, or 2 one-handers? And if the reason is the negative stats, I'd like to point out that the two-handers also have a lot more positive stats. Excluding the stuff like the pike and straight pike, you'll typically be getting a lot out of the two-handed weapons that could definitely outweigh the negative stats that some have. Even ignoring the fact that you'll definitely have higher damage on the weapons, the stat bonuses are generally too high for it to be reasonable to say that the one-handers would be better for the bonus stats.
And even if it wasn't for two-handers, if it only let you use non-light one-handed weapons as light weapons, things would be... mostly not actually that bad, actually. While I'd say on average non-light one-handed weapons are slightly stronger, the only ones where one feels like a straight upgrade over the other are curved blade>short sword, flametongue>sanctified gladius, mace>club, and Ashelander>sharp sickle. I'd still be cautious about it, but I don't think letting one-handed weapons be used as if they were light weapons would invalidate the light weapons.

I'd like to see plantfolk "seed" with the oviposition perk much like harpies "egg." I'd of course want my plantfolk to be able to get the oviposition perk without first becoming a harpy. I'd also like to see mothfolk with oviposition have mothfolk eggs/babies instead of harpy eggs/babies (maybe this is different now, I haven't tried in a long time).
IDK about the first part, but… the elves would likely have severe “issues” with you trying to pull the second one.
You already can get both from Farrah or Jael'yn even without accepting the elves offer.
You know…I think I would like to bring my kids for a visit in the wayfort. On my main char, bring Kinu to see that her father actually has a job or something.
"This really isn't necessary, Father," Kinu says. "I am well aware of the Wayfort. I sometimes meet passing traders and some of your guardsman to barter for feeding. In disguise, of course."
"No," you tell her. "I just want you to see that there's more to your barbaric, old father than a deadbeat dad who just knocks your mother up and disappears for long stretches at a time. I am hard at work keeping the world safe."
All at once:
Kari: "Welcome back, my mate! Our pack is growing. Soon the hills will sound with the howls of hellhounds once more!"
Daliza and Narcia: (running by, harpies and Mitra clinging to them) "Baron, we are not pack animals or transport wagons for your brood!"
Vatia: (opening a sleepy eye by the fire with three little snake kids) "Mmm.... warm. Come cuddle."
Meira: "We had another one. Just your Court Wizard hard at work. It felt sooo good. I can see why mother loves this so much."
Aileh: (Flying down with Freja and Kasyrra in disguise): "Look, grandma is visiting!"
Zhara: "Another egg for your growing flock, bossman."
Elthara: (Visiting with two pregnant acolytes) "Lumia be praised! I can once more wear my sacred pregnancy robes, Champion of Frost."
Amidst the din is Antonina, holding her pregnant belly, the Alraune holding up a fertilized effigy seed, and goth Drifa with a superfetation belly.
"Yes..." Kinu replies. "So much different than when I visit the Kurokawa den... and home.

I'd just like some generic scenes we can repeat when feeling like it now and then with the whole den, both during their time in the Orb and after. The fact your other children are just an after thought is kind of annoying. I understand it with most of the other characters you can have children with because... they are babies, can't do much with those kids. But with Kiyoko's they are already grown up to an extent.
Hirrud is already such a bitch that turning him into a bimbo actually makes him more masculine.
Btw, are their any interactions between the Cat Harem and Fem Hirrud.
Also, Komari preg when?
To be honest, while Kinu has some daddy issues with us, from what little we barely see of the others... really not sure they actually like us... like at all.
... Mind, can't really blame them. We've barely even "acknowledged their existence" a day of their lives.
See, I on the other hand (which means this only applies to me), have never gotten that impression. Nothing she said ever led me to think she didn't like Champ or even love Champ. I just never got that. If she did say something mean or bad, I can't really give it much weight to all the other interactions, I'd have to assume it was a one-off writing discrepancy. I have Hime Kinu on my main and the other on my dark knight, but while one dislikes her mother a bit more, I never correlated any of that to Champ.
This is what I think too. I've never seen anything in her interactions that implies she's got an issue with us - if anything I think it's the opposite, she often seems to seek the attention of the Champ when you interact with her exclusively. I too have Hime Kinu on my current playthrough.
I think Shgon was referring to the other kits with that thought, though.
Like yeah, Kinu might have some issues with us, but overall seems to get along.
But the OTHER kits? The potentially many, many other kits that we hardly gets to see or interact with (because the writing isn't there)?
Those kits might not actually like us. Like, at all.

I also have Hime, in my eyes it’s just a matter of trying not to alienate us and she is choosing her words.
Kinu may not say it, but our perceptive champ notices she still wants oraise and attention from us, if you have scholar background for example, Kinu will be happy if you help and give your opinions and critiques to her art. She loves playing shogun and is happy when you win (specially if you have enough wisdom and orders her not to make it easy, which she smiles even more).
And the one moment that guarantees that she does not dislike her father at all: when you let Hime Kinu Head pat Kitsune champ for the first time. You can tell she has been dreaming of doing that ever since she was a child.
Yes, she does. It’s just that is not the same thing as having no lingering feelings over our long absence. Kiyoko even brings it up in towards the end of the Winter Wolf quest.
That being said, the ones I was talking about seeming to not like us all that much, were all our and Kiyoko's other kids… not that we even “interact” with them all that much. Which itself likely plays a rather big role in said feelings.

I mean, lets show poor Tobs some mercy. If they wrote interactions for all the kids, they'd be writing that content until they drop. Kiyoko wants that big family after all. XD

Eh, “all” of them would be overkill, but there’s like 3-5 other named ones we can’t even interact with ourselves.
Hell, people constantly complain about not getting so much as a heads up to Kinu engagement, but… IIRC one of our daughters was hurt bad enough in the attack on the den to get a change in career paths, and… yelp, that’s the last we need hear of her.
We kinda come off as a really freaking detached parent to all but our eldest fox kid.
That’d be Asagiri, a timid girl that has been known to disappear if you’re not looking for her due to her low presence. “Morning mist” or Asagiri fits nicely. Still I need to headpat her!
And yes I know most of the names children, Aya, the second born, Tatsumi, our first son, and Asagiri the third daughter. Wish we could interact more with them.
I can get behind an expansion on the Champ's Kitsune family - and giving at least the eldest children more depth. Perhaps less so in the Dream, as that's supposed to be Kinu's formative stuff - like shaping her adult personality, choosing her weapon, etc. But definitely after the release - perhaps frame each to have different outlooks on their "father" - I could imagine Aya harboring resentment towards the champ, Asagiri could be feeling neglected and just wants them to see and acknowledge her - interact with her, like the champ did/does with Kinu. While Tatsumi could present an awkward nature towards them, that uncertainty of how to interact with someone you know you're supposed to have some connection to, but don't know how to bridge the divide between.
All in all - an expansion on the family would be nice.
About kitsune, I was thinking...
- Cait and Ryn receive stat bonuses from quest items or some encounters.
- Could Kiyoko gain bonuses based on the number of tails she has? For example, for every tail beyond four, she could gain +X Spellpower? (x being 1 or 2, probably)
Training dummy with exposed hit and damage calculations for ease of build and bug testing would be convenient. Could make it a wayfort upgrade or put it in the Hawkethorne gym. Bonus points for additional options to set its defensive stats.
Clementine pregnancy, I'd say of characters that currently lack pregnancy content she needs it and deserves it most. Cute as hell character, amazing nating press scene, and a good romantic bond with the PC. Give us Clementine pregnancy pleeeeeeaaassse!
