The title really explains it. What do you think of Erika? She's my first big project so some honest feedback regarding her is appreciated.
If you've never heard of her you can find her at Burt's badass mead hall in mhen'ga from 8 am to 4 pm

Also, after I finish the expansion for Erika/Lerris/PC threesomes the next project with Erika's name on it will be the Erika sluttification expac. So if you have thoughts or questions about it please share them.

I enjoy her a good bit she's not too boring, she has the troubled past card(which always help imo), sex scenes are quite enjoyable, gotta threesome with a Gryvain which is always nice, and I can buy her drinks which alone is pretty great!

Don't really have anything bad to say about her.

She's great, especially the public scenes. Slutification sounds perfect for her so can't wait for that.

As far as criticisms... Little strange you need a pussy to degrade her, which also blocks you from the follow up hate fuck scene. Oh and her wiki bust isn't available in 0.7.123(hopefully not intentional).

Personally, I like Erika. She has a good personality and a lot of potential. For what content she has now, its really good. Her public scenes are also pretty good as well but i havent really done them that often so I cant really remember them right now. If I had to say which scene I like the most? Then Id go with the degrade scene because holy mother of hell was it hot.

I mean, how more can you assert yourself over her than doing this?

"You start to lazily ride the unimpressive dick inside you. At least feeling her knot spreading your horse-like pussy brings you some pleasure. Taking advantage of this, you repeatedly pop the knot in and out of you."

Like jeez.

Though of course I do have a few slight gripes with Erika, though I think they are small ones.

I dont particularity understand why you need to be in Rut to butt fuck Erika, I kinda find it kind of weird. Theres also the small tid bit with the same scene being a tad bit short compared to her other scenes, at least to me. This one isnt on you, but her bust is fucked up for some reason. Her Adj bust isnt in the game when it was earlier. The only bust now is YohSL's bust. Not saying its bad or anything, just...... well..... Adj. That is all.

Thats pretty much. I hope I gave at least adequate feedback, cause id love to help in anyway i can with with improving any future Erika content. Im especially curious of this sluttification X-Pack you're talking about. Maybe you can tell us a little about it later in the thread so we know what we have to look forward too?

But anyway, thanks for bringing us a lovely shemale cat lady into TiTs and I think I speak for a lot of us when I say Im looking forward to more.

Wait, what? I didn't know that. How do I trigger it? It sounds awesome!

Also, is it a one time thing?

You buy Erika some X-Zil-rate, go for public sex, and select Threesome and there ya go!

her wiki bust isn't available in 0.7.123(hopefully not intentional).

That's a bug as far as i'm aware... took so damn long to get the bust on the wiki page...

I like her character and her scenes (Like the rut scene so more of those would be great since I'm a fan of femsub and using toys on her). Though will we either meet her slutty mother and how much willpower do you need to last against the female Gryvain. Also will we meet Lerris's girlfriend

Erika comes off to me as well designed and well written. However, i'm rather biased against (yet another) girl with dicks at this point. Think of that what you will.

I went into Erika blind, like I normally do, and ended up liking her. She's not in top 5 characters or anything, but I still think she's a solid. Well written for sure, and she backstory is pretty good as well. Her sex scenes are also boner worthy, so you've got that going for you as well.

I do however have two issues with the character though. 1) Her hands down most interesting sex scenes being locked behind needing a pussy and having a hard personality is kinda wacked. While this isn't a huge problem, it would be GREAT to at least not have the hard requirement. Like a 10/10 change. Maybe offer a cock degrade path as well? But that might be overkill.

2) When I first started to sex her and she whipped out her big box of toys I got SUPER excited. Remember, I went into her blind. I thought she was going to be a sex toy based character for a moment, and all of her scenes would revolve around the use of different toys. That would have literally made her the most interesting character to sex up in the game. As it turns out that isn't really the case, and I got super deflated that it's only one scene. I realize that isn't really an issue with the character, but I feel like the sex toy angle could have been much more fleshed out and really made the character pop.

Erika has the potential to be a very interesting character. She's definitely, very solid.

That being said, she does need something to help her stand out from the other dickgirls.

Now, probably the best way to do that is through the use of sextoys. As Fr0sty said, it was a little disappointing that there's no more use of them in her scenes. Imagine using a fleshlight on her as you nail her nail from behind, or using an three pronged dildo to DP yourself and nail her ass, or frotting with a specialised fleshlight.

But all being to, she's already fun and she does have a good connection to a long established character, you've done well and thank you for creating her.

I think she needs help standing out when compared to other characters. The best characters are usually the dynamic ones that show some growth. For example, Reaha/Sera becoming more responsible. Bess slowly coming out of her AI routines. Embry becoming a bit more confident as she transitions into a girl (although I didn't like how the solution was to simply throw money at her). In CoC, there's a lot of characters with character development. Kiha, Urta, Helia, etc.

Though I understand she's going to have some work done on her, but right now, Erika just seems to be a shy and cute wishful thinker that you can buy alcohol for for some fun public sex scenes (which are great btw!). I can see some potential in her wish to become female but I would hope it's done in a way that hasn't been done before (such as Embry). I would also think there is potential in confronting her family, both with her mother and sister.

First of all
I did not expect this many replies in a short time :eyepop:

Ok to answer some questions. (Not all of them are questions but shut up)
2) When I first started to sex her and she whipped out her big box of toys I got SUPER excited. Remember, I went into her blind.

well, there's a thing to add to the expansion. make the new scenes involve her toys prominently.

Im especially curious of this sluttification X-Pack you're talking about. Maybe you can tell us a little about it later in the thread so we know what we have to look forward too?
PC will convince her to let him/her take a control of her life

The first step will be her publically degrading herself

Then the PC will trust him/her to follow his/her command to make the modifications ordered to her body. A Property of Steele tattoo one her butt is the only mandatory modification.

The final step is fucking Erika with a facial finish and recording her statement of being your slut and uploading it to the extranet.

Something along these lines.
I would also think there is potential in confronting her family, both with her mother and sister.
confront her mother? probably not and confront is definitely not the word to use when talking about her sister. You can let her catch up with Lerris in the threesome expac.
Also will we meet Lerris's girlfriend
that would be up to savin, the person who wrote Lerris

Will this involve giving her a vagina? I have not played her content (I haven't played in a few weeks now, I'm not even sure if she's public content yet), so I don't know if giving her a vagina is a thing or not yet.

Regardless of the answer, this sounds like exactly hte kind of character my Hard personality characters have been craving... Especially the Property of Steele tattoo. Hnnnnng~!

I'm guessing that the answer may be no, but among the possible changes there would be the option of give her a bigger dick/testes, and another option to give her catnip (the anthro cat TF item) to make her a cat-morph.

I thought you wrote Lerris as you connected her with Erika so will we meet the slutty milf?. Also I think her gaining a vagina and keeping/loosing her dick and balls could be a thing as Erika says she hasn't got one because its expensive and not trusting a doctor. And the fact she wants to be Steele's slut means she would most likely agree to it to please them.

How severe are these mods? Are they just minor things, like bigger naughty bits, lactation, and a pussy, or will we have some Bess/Ben levels of customization?

There won't be an option for giving her a pussy, not even a hard pc is that much of an ass.

As for the customisation options. You can increase the size of her ass, boobs, lips, cock, and balls. Her clothing will also change to be more revealing.

Welp, that leaves me out. She seems well written to me, but yeah, as soon as I found out there was no vag involved I backed off and have not gone near her since.

I'm liking her so far, leaving aside the issue with adj bust not being in-game:

-I dont understand why her degrade scenes are gated behind "hard" steele, i find he's just an ass for the sake of it and nothing more (and i consider myself to be an asshole), i also dont understand why you need a vag to do it once you have a hard personality, is she supposed to be interacted with a herm steele?

But meh, is just my opinion.
The planned expansion is sounding quite nice, i just hope her scenes aren't gated behind the same hard requirements.

It's supposed to be a femdom scene so that's why it's gated behind a pussy.
As for needing to have a hard personality. Well, chuck that up to inexperience.

i just hope her scenes aren't gated behind the same hard requirements.
Don't worry I won't gate the expac behind a personality.

Also on a note regarding the expac.
I forgot to list lactation on the list of possible mods. Possibly different types of lactation but I'll have to look into that.

Any chance the xpac could also include the removal of the need for a hard personality completely? It seems pretty universally disliked...

While I don't usually play Hard personalities myself, I gotta say that it's kinda nice to actually have some personality gating at all. After all, right now it basically doesn't matter, so diversifying it a bit is really nice

It's an okay first attempt but there's a ton of room for improvement. In general the character feels very rote and the writing itself adds to this impression with a very robotic tone, especially the dialogue.

An example excerpt:

You decide to ask her why she is drinking this early in the day.

“Well, it’s not like I’m getting hammered. Have you tried getting drunk on this stuff? Besides, going out to drink is an excuse to leave home, hoping to meet someone nice, but I lack the confidence to chat up strangers since I’m generally not comfortable in public.”

If she doesn’t like the cheap beer then why does she drink it?”

“All of the other drinks that they offer here are ridiculously expensive. The mead tastes wonderful, but I’m not going to pour my credits down my throat. And the X-Zil-rate is even more expensive; plus apparently it makes you horny and I don’t want to start popping boners in public.”

But still, why is she drinking this early in the day?

“Later in the evening there are more people here, and I really don’t like it when there are lots of people hanging around getting drunk, being obnoxious and loud.”

So she doesn’t like hanging around other people?

“No, it’s not that. Well, kind of. It’s being around drunks that I don’t like, I like hanging out with you and other friends of mine.”

Not only does it sound like she's reading her own character notes out loud but doing so in the driest possible way, and there were multiple instances of chains like

"(question or statement)"
"(direct answer to and partial restatement of question or statement)"

That's absolutely the most boring way to write dialogue and also the most common trap for newbie amateur writers to fall into, a rote say-what-needs-to-be-said style of extremely practical, and therefore extremely dull, way of delivering information. Even from a characterization standpoint: isn't the character supposed to be closed off, repressed, antisocial? Why is she going on a long tirade to a stranger as a response to each question? That doesn't coincide with what you're trying to portray.

Reluctant, terse, unsatisfying answers would have worked better here with Steele trying to pry more out of her. That would give characterization context to things like the degrade scenes, which seem to be the meat of the character: Steele got tired of this wet blanket tightly-wound person and decided to drag it all out of them either with booze or sadism. With as big a self-destructive tendency as this character has it's just not interesting when it feels less like Steele Jr. picked up on this and exacerbated it as coming across a very flat and deflated person and then deciding to bully them for no real reason. Memorable characters have content that all ties together, that flows sensibly, and most importantly showcase personality. Most of the scenes I've read with Erika here don't give me a sense of her at all; she feels almost dead and generally unreactive but follows the scenario because she's supposed to.

I'd say work on dialogue and setting the stage for character arcs so it feels like things that happen have a reason to happen - those were your two biggest weaknesses here.

Oh, I also meant to say that a sense of progression would have drastically improved the content. I know most people do it with a generic "pick your scene" format but for this character, where the theme seems to be degrading them and turning them into an exhibitionist slut from a repressed and bitter loner progression is essential. Being able to go straight to the degrade scenes doesn't make sense.

What you should have done is start with the toy scene - give a sense that the character has been taking out her sexual frustration on herself with this surprising and vast collection of toys - then maybe have a scene where Steele Jr. uses some of the toys on her in public, surreptitiously, then publicly, then the exhibitionist drunk sex, then drunk threesome, then degrade and so on as opposed to gating the degrade scene behind the hard personality and figuring that if Steele Jr. is an asshole then they'd just do this kind of thing.

Follow what makes sense for your content, not the standard formulas for other people's stuff. If it's highly dependent on progression and feels odd to do in isolation then gate it behind a progression.

Not a writer but what balitz Method says seems right to me specifically about her giving evasive answers that frustrate Steele into punishing her.

I'm fine with gating some content behind personality types if it makes sense and a hard personality being more prone to enjoying degrading someone else makes complete sense to me but still don't agree with the vagina requirement. Femdom sure, but its not like you're required to have a vagina for the game or actual people for that matter to see you as female.

For the setting in general the old standbys become clumsy and near-useless designations since anyone can mix and match parts at will, guys can look just like girls and be mistaken for one and vice-versa, some walk around with utility belt crotches in wheelbarrows and the parser just takes its best guess. So it's more about the ~spirit~ of the scene. Femdom with a TiTS hodgepodge person could work but that would also require some flexibility and a good understanding of what people want out of those scenes.

Classically it -is- emasculation using a vagina and even with a butt that's usually with the cunt's shadow looming over it - like "you're not good enough to breed with me/your dick is so pathetic that I'll only be able to feel it in my ass/I'm literally crapping on your sad dick" and so on.

Since the writer's new that's asking for a very high difficulty adjustment to the scene that's almost guaranteed to be beyond them at the moment.
