Okay, so. In this, I have a new gripe, and a few old gripes.
First is my new gripe: Several TF items have TFs that are tied only to the raw version. And like, certain effects, I could probably understand tying them to only the raw form (Especially height, as it seems that height changes are only tied to raw for any tf item that changes it and I'm fine with that), but there are so many effects which target a specific part but which are only available for the raw form. For example, the Bovum Sherry ties femininity, butt/hip rating, and lip mod to the raw version, and Minoblood Wine tied femininity, cum multiplier, and lip mod to the raw version. Why is this? Femininity can be changed with pink and blue eggs infused with Soft Mud, so why is it that these items can not change it with Soft Mud? Why is it that lip mod is also not affected by a Soft Mud-infused Bovum/Minoblood, considering that it is affected by a Soft Mud-infused Cackle Berry or Wolfsboon/Lycanthorn? Why is it that the Bovum's butt/hip modifier can only happen raw, rather than with the Juicy Peach, given that Minoblood can change the butt/hip rating with a JP infusion? Why can Minoblood can't affect the cum multiplier with the Chestnut infusion, when the Virility Booster can?
It's not just the two minotaur tfs, there's also Cat's Tongue Berry having its cock, breast size, and hip ratings all tied to its raw form, the Carrot Cumpcake has thickness and hip rating tied to raw, Gold Eggs have femininity and Fertility tied to the raw form, Brute Beets have cup size, cock size, ball size, femininity, tone/thickness, butt rating, hip rating, and ear length all tied to its raw form, Root of Man has its femininity, cock size, and breast size tied to the raw form, and there are several others. Why are there so many aspects to these TFs tied exclusively to their raw forms?
Second: Why is it that you still fall asleep when you masturbate? I almost never use the masturbation options anyway, given that you have to be in camp or at the tavern to be able to masturbate, but why is it that jacking off or even milking yourself has you conking out until the next morning? This gripe has been said before, and given that Savin's said there's a strong possibility of getting rid of sleep-on-fap, I'm wondering why it still is the way it is.
Third: I've said this before, but why can we only fuck Etheryn monstrously with a cock larger than 12 inches? I do understand that there is, I think, a mechanic that lets you train Etheryn's ass to take larger cocks, but since she starts out being unable to take larger cocks, that effectively limits me to either having a cock below 13 inches long (what I currently do, even though I'd rather make it larger), not fucking Etheryn (which I don't want to do because she is one of my favorite characters), or being an absolute asshole when fucking her (The game does not warn you before selecting the assfuck option that you must fuck her in a corrupt manner if your cock is too large, outside of the first scene where Etheryn needs to cum, and if you don't have a cock larger than 12 inches at the time and grow it later or if you just don't look at/select that option at the time, then you'll suddenly be told
after you've selected the assfuck sex option that you must do so monstrously, with no option to go back and select something else.)
And finally, to revisit the thing that Puffy_Princess said two and a half weeks ago: Why does Cait offer her ass to the Drider Queen? As she says when you give it a kiss after fucking her pussy, "I'm saving that, you know." She's an anal virgin, and has apparently been saving her anal virginity, but why is she saving it if she's just going to freely give it away to a random spider-lady? Sure, she's doing it for our sake, but so what? What if we want to get egged, or don't want her to get egged? We don't get the option to say "no, actually, just egg me and not her," if you're in the loss scene the game does not let you spare Cait, it just automatically has her get egged. And it's not even some important character story moment, to show that she and the Champion has grown in terms of trust and she's willing to sacrifice something precious to her to save him/her. Instead, some random enemy who we can never even learn the name of gets to take her anal virginity and she acts like it's no big deal despite how she's been saving her anal virginity, and also given that, according to her in the "children" talk option after you've cum in her pussy "
I don't need to be getting all knocked up while there's demons trying to steal my friend's soul and my sister's missing. Got more pressing things on my mind than breeding." Despite both of that, when doing the "Eggs?" talk option with Cait afterwards, she acts like it was totally fine, like she didn't loose something that she's been saving for a while (her anal virginity) and that the fact that she's also been impregnated doesn't matter since they're technically not her children. I do think it is pretty neat that the "chaste kiss" tooltip and scene no longer mention her being an anal virgin afterwards, but still, it feels really weird that she'd just easily give it away to a completely unimportant character who she has had no interaction with beyond getting into a fight with her. And then she doesn't even let the PC fuck her ass now that she's no longer an anal virgin. Also if the PC has been egged the Drider Queen will normally not egg them again but if Cait is there then she'll get egged despite the PC already having eggs in them, so Cait doesn't even have a reason to sacrifice her anal virginity for the PC to avoid getting egged there.
I did check the scenes. The Drider Queen egging Cait says that it was written by
@BubbleLord , the writer for the Drider Queen, rather than Savin. The "Eggs?" discussion is also written by BubbleLord, rather than Savin, and same with the random scene where the eggs in Cait's stomach will sometimes make a loud sound. Not to try to put down anyone's work, as all of the authors working on CoC2 are great, and I really like the Marked Mercs, Sugo, Ninian, and the Drider queen, all of which were written by BubbleLord. But it feels almost like, with the Cait eggings, he simply forgot that Cait is an anal virgin and is saving her ass, presumably for somebody special. I say almost, because he demonstrably did not. The scene where Cait gets egged mentions her "unspoiled butthole", and also it says
Your friend throws her head back and tries to moan as her anal virginity gets conquered by the powerful ovipositor, yet she can't get out more than a peep before the queen wrestles her back into the kiss. Cait is no longer an anal virgin!
So the scene explicitly mentions her anal virginity, and thusly, that means that he know that she's a virgin. But in the scenes following, it gets treated like the fact that she lost her anal virginity is of absolutely no consequence whatsoever, despite explicit statements.
Though perhaps, Cait's anal virginity isn't quite intended to be taken seriously, given that the writer for the Chaste Kiss scene was written by SomeKindofWizard rather than Savin. Still, it seems odd that Cait would be explicitly saving her anal virginity despite having a profession and faith which largely center around sex, meaning that it must actually hold some importance to her as otherwise she almost certainly would have lost it long ago.
