Your gripes with CoC II

[Tide Hunter]

Brint's weapons seem to largely be made out of iron, steel, or some other grey metal, excluding the axe's sharp part and some of the smaller details. This feels odd, considering that most of the world, excluding the Kitsune country, uses bronze weaponry.

Put it down to artistic license.

 

[WolframL]

Yeah, it's the same story with why the Mercs have headshots showing armor made out of different metals when they all should be using bronze, artistic license. If a character is actually using iron or steel, the text will draw attention to it.

The kitsunes use bronze because it is easier to work than steel and it is cheaper, even so I want to assume that they only use it for tools or basic weapons, even so Nakano's Katana has to be made of steel by necessity, Khorminos seems to be or have been masters in architecture, I do not see why they could not have rescued the steelmaking of their past times

Architecture generally isn't a question of steel before the late nineteenth century.

The floofs use iron because they lack ready sources of tin for bronze. One of the reasons behind the establishment of their Greater North Savarra Co-Prosperity Sphere was to secure oil tin that they otherwise wouldn't have been able to use.

To elaborate, if we're drawing any analogues to tin in real life, it's pretty damned rare to begin with, as rare as uranium.

Malaysia got really prosperous (for the region, anyway) because of the fact it was the richest source of tin in the whole world for a good while. That, and natural rubber.

 

[Wint3rRyd3r]

The balanced swords are iron if remember right, and Lusina's sword is steel. Aside from artistic license, there could be more leftover weapons and armor that survived and they're just not important enough to get a description calling attention to it. And if we're just going by art, you can easily explain away Brint's weapons as painted. Azzy's weapons and ab piece are, I think.

I believe Lusina's new marefolk village dialogue specifically calls out that her claymore fell through a portal centuries ago. There's a reason it is actually, mechanically, one of if not -the- best weapon in the game.

Since we are on topic of materials are there any types of metal / wood / leather that are ya know present in coc 2 that dont exist irl (think of mithril as an example) ?

Well, dragons exist so there might be things made from their body parts (enchanting a la the Flaming Dagger using a drake's spirit aside) and we just haven't seen it yet.

 

[Paradox01]

What would be the ethics of killing a cow or a rabbit to eat and/or wear its hide/fur when anthropomorphic versions exist in the same world?

The anthro races would probably be uncomfortable, at least if they're present, but there's a difference between them and the livestock they share traits with. Though I wouldn't offer the puppridge cow girls steak without asking well in advance

So is that the parallel? I'm not passing judgement, just scientifically curious.

I don't know where the leather comes from. Besides, the royal leathers are all I wear that's leather. Brint/Brienne wear leathers no problem.

I think the Rune Fucker beats it.

In the logging camp, there are quite clearly wolf pelts in a predominantly lupine establishment, and the in-game text even points out that lupines must not have anything against hunting wolves. I'd guess the anthro races don't consider themselves the same species as their feral "counterparts" and are fine treating them the same way humans would (which, for the record, I 100% agree with).

 

[TrustworthyTraitor]

Checked the wiki , my main gripe atm is that there is no mention of what types of fauna/flora are present in the areas around hawkethorne or at all , like what sort of beasts could champ potentially encounter / discover ? Are wild elementals a thing???

Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about that scene! Thanks, Shepard.

 

[Savin]

I think so. It might actually be morally more questionable since monke are actually sapient.

My personal interp of the base question tho is that for the most part animal people aren't really bothered by their non-sapient genetic cousins but probably don't eat or keep them. Ausar, for example, have domestic lizards as beloved household pets. I imagine the Jassirans probably don't have a culture of worshipping their pet felines when they already have a celestial catboy.

Ah but Savin, think of all the time people there spend worshipping pussy

Now I'm wondering if ausar-ovir relationships have the same... stereotypes associated with them as human-ausar relationships.

That would certainly be interesting to explore!

 

[Mizukage]

Inari shoujo felt way easier to play through kinuquest with, though I guess it makes sense that Kinu fluff child would be better at hitting things after getting swole working the farm compared to hime being dainty from focusing on poetry and people skills. Though barkskin also just felt way more useful then drain.

So basically:

I think this subject could also be one of the uh, unsure of the word, things covered in the extended universe of like, hybrids, monster girls/boys. Forget which series it was but one of the conversations went something like, to a centaur, "oh you don't mate with horses?" "Wtf you say to me m8 I will kick you in the teeth and make it look like a accident". Ie They're *generally* separate, to avoid more extreme kinks for one and also because they don't want to be compared to "lessers", wolves and lupine are a pretty easy case though. Wolves are instinctual predators that when hungry will attack indiscriminately, lack the ability to converse, and even though they have intelligence they're below lupines and other humanoids enough to be children, same with most other animals. Like saying humans and monkeys are the same. Monkeys are brilliant creatures with a high level of intelligence, but still lack enough intelligence to where they can indiscriminately attack under certain circumstances, and generally people use the comparison at best a insult or at worst a religious heresy.

I feel like there's not enough non-sex content for Infrith with this new pack. It feels kind of out of place just jumping right into her basically adoring you.
"hey uh, sorry for breaking into your house, beating you and your teacher up and fucking your tits."
"yeah, it's w/e"
"wanna bang?"
"fuck yes, lemme worship you!"

Also, having not explored it yet, since knocking her up in the first encounter sends her home forever but her new content you can apparently knock her up and do a bunch of stuff afterwards, whats different between the two that makes her stay for this one?

Uh, during Right of Conquest you do NOT have her consent. You straight up rape her infront of her mentor who begs you not to do it and to use her if you must.

I know, I was more wondering if that was enough to make the difference, considering how big the orc warcamp is with conquest, rape and pillaging.

Then again, Hretha is pretty blunt about her and her priestess being a lot less... meatheaded than the rest of the camp. I guess they'd be less prone to brush it off like Arona or the others.
