Honestly, that's kinda what I feel makes moral options have weight. Like, many have talked about how Bioshock almost had a great moral choice system, but it got ruined by executives saying "we don't think the public will like this" and making there be extra rewards for the good path, just delayed. What makes moral choices interesting is when the good path and option has no reward, or substantially less reward than the evil path. I don't directly want to be evil. I will generally be motivated to pick the moral option. If you put two billion diamonds in the pure path and one piece of bread in the corrupt path, that further disincentivizes picking the corrupt path, because from a utilitarian view it is also better to be good. CoC2, at the moment, largely has its moral choices like that. The pure path gives boatloads of content and rewards, the corrupt path gives you corrupted versions of two npcs with infinitely less content than on the pure path. Because of that, I basically have no reason to pick corrupt options outside of when I'm romancing Kas (and even then it's mainly because those options are sexy and not evil).I really feel like COC did pure content better. I mean really, you could be the hero of your dreams in COC, save everyone and purify everything. It was so much better.
I would like to see more pure content. Let me save some orphans just because I can and get nothing for it beyond the satisfaction of making the world a better place. And while we're at it, can I please help Garth tend to the inn? And don't even think about having it be a paying job, I just think he needs the help and Jae isn't doing any real maid work, let's be honest. Oh, and some missionary sidequests for Sanders would be great, where you can bring food, clothes, and other necessities to those in need. And perish the thought of rewards! A good deed is its own reward!
It's about time we get COC2 on track to being as great as COC1, fr fr.
I find CoC1 to be very confusing in its layout and workings. TiTS was a massive improvement, while CoC2 feels more like a sidegrade to TiTS than an upgrade. CoC1 does have a lot of really good stuff, but it was all very disconnected and didn't make anything clear.Man, am I really one of the few people who thinks CoC1 was nothing to write home about?
It was my first Fenco game, might I add, and I didn't quite like it: getting used to the UI alone was rough.
CoC2 >>> TiTS >>>>>>>>>>> CoC1.
Also:
CoC2 is its own thing, it's not CoC1, never will be.
Comparing them in X or Y aspect is pointless.
(Half expecting to get boo'ed for this)

It's times like this that remind me that most of our content isn't really "pure" or "corrupt". It's stuff that's meant to work for both and not exclude either.I really feel like COC did pure content better.

You and I played different games, then.I seriously like COC more than COC2 because:
[...]
The MC can be more consistent in the way they are written
For me it's noticeable that the MC acts way different around certain NPCs in COC2. When they could take no BS from others before (depending on how you play them), they are suddenly letting themselves be walked over by the kitsune? Not even a choice of having an internal monologue about how or why they'll tolerate this. In COC, I usually play the same way in my playthroughs (mostly good, saving lethice, ending up with either: Kiha, Ember, or Arian as lovers), so maybe you've noticed something I haven't.You and I played different games, then.
Nope I never really got on with CoC1. CoC2 is much better imo.Man, am I really one of the few people who thinks CoC1 was nothing to write home about?

Almost like CoC1 is a pure power fantasy, which isnt that fun for most people. CoC2 is a lot more grounded, and the champ isnt someone who has any fucking sway on how anyone deals with anything, all we are is someone who was made to be the hero because we were at the right place at the wrong time.For me it's noticeable that the MC acts way different around certain NPCs in COC2.

Maybe, but you can't deny we had the kitsune on their knees. Even if we have no sway on how they do anything, the fact that we have no choice in whether we bend over backwards to their life-essence vampire butts or not even though it's been made clear that we can put them in their place is unacceptable. We don't even get to have our character be annoyed by them even though they give us plenty of reason to. Besides, just because this game isn't a power fantasy doesn't mean you have to be a complete chump either. Ever heard of Goblin Slayer? The MC isn't remotely close to being the most powerful, but no way you would ever describe him as a chump, which is unfortunately what our character is half the time.Almost like CoC1 is a pure power fantasy, which isnt that fun for most people.

People frequently like Kitsune characters... when they aren't being written by Tobs.I don't understand some of y'alls burning hatred for a race because some of the members are mildly dickish towards you. The Kitsune aren't afraid of you because you didn't come to the Den with malevolent intentions and you were ultimately on the right, isn't that enough?
That's... pretty much the whole point of the Corruption mechanic, in Corruption of Champions 2(TM).Because having the option to punish them makes you feel stronger?
I don't understand some of y'alls burning hatred for a race
I really wish CoC2 had a system closer to TiTs Kind, Mischievous, Hard alignments. I feel like it would help with PC consistency.What you should be saying about CoC2 is that it's alot more schizophrenic on how important/powerful the PC is.
Well it's not the race, per se. Just those ones in particular are annoying. Everytime you interact with them, they give off this air of superiority like they think they're better than you. Like they're doing you a favor by interacting with you. Our character gets treated like dirt, and is just okay with it. Even lawful good characters have a limit.I don't understand some of y'alls burning hatred for a race because some of the members are mildly dickish towards you.

Why do the Kitsune have to live in fear that they will be slaughtered in their homes if they don't appease the big bad barbarian? Because having the option to punish them makes you feel stronger?
Isn't it just Nakano who is wildly racist towards you? The guy who is disliked by literally everyone around him for his incessant larping (well, maybe except Kinu but idk). I'm actually drawing a blank on this, who else is racist towards you?I haven't done the Kiyoko rescue thing in a long time which I heard really bad things about so I might have different views on this.Personally it's their racism that turns me right off. If they can barely tolerate me even if I sell my soul to their god, have a kitsune family then I just don't want to stick around. "You'll never be one of them" is the message and it's successful.
I'm fine with this, disliking certain characters are pretty much encouraged anyways (Well Nakano is, Takahiro is a... Bubble character so you never know). There probably can be an option when finishing the Kitsune quest where you pick: "I hate you and never bother me again" which stops the random encounters. I just don't agree with the murder-hoboing.Well it's not the race, per se. Just those ones in particular are annoying.

The slander will finally end on the day Komari is made sexable.
If my character ever sexes her and I am in control and not in "chumpion" mode, it'd probably be some rough "pillaging barbarian comes across defenceless woman" roleplay stuff. Maybe that would finally vent out my frustrations of the kitsune? Probably not, but that could be fun for someone here.I admit I'm probably biased because of GILF fox, but to quote the great Loveless with all their wisdom:
Hey, if we're frustrated at the kitsune but can't do questionable stuff against them for some reason, dominating their leader seems to be a good compromise ¯\(ツ)/¯ . Especially with the evidence popping out 1 or 2 months later. Might be good catharsis.You want to roughly dominate Komari
I want her to claw me, bite me and draw blood while she guilt trips me into getting her pregnant meanwhile she gaslights me into believing this is what I want.
We are not the same.
Indeed, it really speaks to the psychology of players who want "corrupt" content added, that any choices or paths added to the game that aren't overtly--if not cartoonishly--self-serving or outright evil then must be "pure" content. It seems to me a very toxic black and white view.It's times like this that remind me that most of our content isn't really "pure" or "corrupt".

Nah, what's that gonna change? She's just like the rest of them, her bad end speaks for itself.I admit I'm probably biased because of GILF fox, but to quote the great Loveless with all their wisdom:
To be fair, we did commit home invasion; and with most American's attitude towards such situations we're atleast lucky they didn't try to pull out magic AR-15s on us.Dirty barbarian at our gates, maybe we should talk? Screw that - kill!
How is it devolving? No racism or personal attacks so far. What I'll never understand is why there's seemingly a pushback on player freedom, if someone wants to be the righteous person everyone looks up to, why can't they be? In the same vein, why shouldn't people have the choice to be downright evil either? Or maybe somewhere in between, who knows, you're the player of an RPG, you should have the freedom to decide. Most of the forms of corruption in this game only involve just cumming or being cummed in by demons when it can be so much more. You can do a few questionable things here and there, but that's really it. Also cumming in the baker's food screams: "Weirdo!" than "Oh my gods, how evil!".Indeed, it really speaks to the psychology of players who want "corrupt" content added, that any choices or paths added to the game that aren't overtly--if not cartoonishly--self-serving or outright evil then must be "pure" content.

I thought it would be amusing to put the shoe on the other foot and satirically request content based around the idea that I can't be "good" enough, but I think too many people took me seriously.
But I digress. I believe the way things are done currently is largely the right choice, although improvements could always be made. I think sprinkling in smaller "corruptive" interactions along the way would be the best move going forward. More things like the baker in Khor.
Though I see this thread has devolved into Gripes Thread 2 again currently...
It was more like:To be fair, we did commit home invasion; and with most American's attitude towards such situations we're atleast lucky they didn't try to pull out magic AR-15s on us.
It WOULD be nice to have a second way into the Den -- maybe Orb!Kiyo could give you a hint as to a way in?It's rather annoying not being able to do any Den content if the Champ I'm playing would never agree to help Evergreen.
Body snatching, forcefull body transformation (gender change including) with non-violent marriage or become living sex toy. After that death in battle looks almost tempting. And whether it's canon or not, that doesn't change the fact that they are capable of it and think it's fair. Sick bastards.they probably just kick you out if they beat you up anyways.
