Your gripes with CoC II

[Sacremas]

You gotta love the sex scenes in more extreme erotica and hentai where never mind cervix bumping, it's full on penetration and outright womb-fucking. Like, guy who wrote that, you do know that a close equivalent would be someone punching you in the balls on every thrust right? If you don't think you'd get off on that, err, maybe keep that stuff to the more horrible rape scenes and similar rather than indicating anyone got off on that.

Fortunately, other than vague mentions of oversized dicks bulging abdomens, for the most part scenes in the game don't go to that much detail and you can just figure it's alien/fantasy anatomy going on. Or even more amusing, Vaginas of Holding that they can probably use to carry their loot in as well as in the case of Kitsune.

Womb/cervix hitting and outright penetration have been a peeve of mine for the longest time.

I understand it seems to be a popular kink, just like sizeplay is. Some people like creativity in their smut despite how things would turn out to be in real life. And said creativity can be very arbitrarily applied. Sadly, I am biased since realism plays a relatively big role for me and I fear the worst when large sizes which seem painful when inserted pop up, especially alongside the word "jackhammering". I want "my" erotica to seem enjoyable, not something that makes me wince. Their prevalence means hoping the characters in question have alternative smutty scenes. Like, Brint is a bro, but I'm not letting him get his stuff close to my main Champion's, and it's always frottage when the elf boy pops up.
It's a hard life when you are into dongs going balls deep but, judging by what I can muster, characters have the potential to house micro black holes within their bodies.

 

[Sacremas]

If you want to go realistic with extreme sizes, anal is actually a way better choice. Womb-fucking aside, if you want to go deeper than 7-8 inches or so on average, the pussy ain't the place to do it. In Brint's scenes, he'd basically penetrate the champ vaginally to somewhere around the median ring and no more, and if he wants to sheathe then the player had better be ready for some buttstretching exercises. Kas can still do whatever she wants, because she's a magical shapeshifter that can alter the Champ's body as suits her when not shapeshifting to be a perfect fit herself, but most other non-demons really should have some amount of logic applied, if anyone cared about realism. If they don't and Hentai level bulging stomachs are more the thing, then fine, but there's somewhat of a thematic difference there.

 

[Stzk619]

Okay, not really a gripe, it's just something I noticed.

I have to preface that I have a uterus. I cringe every time the game mentions a cock forcefully bumping against a cervix, especially if it's a sudden intrusion, which takes me out of the scene. I know a lot of the sex in this game isn't here to accommodate realism, and I understand that. Pornlogic. But deep penetrations, while they can feel amazing, have the risk of hurting the cervix if the vagina isn't well-prepared or if the intruding object repeatedly bumps--or slams--into the cervix.

Luckily, it's not common in the game and it varies by writer, but it's one of those things that make me wince when there is cervical shenanigans being mentioned.

I cannot express in mere words how relieved I am to finally hear someone say it. With caution and care, it’s hardly a bad thing, but a lack of tact can seriously be painful. I just wish that were better-known.

 

[cloer]

Honestly, it should be a no-brainer that stabbing something into any organ is probably going to be rather painful. Then again, a sense for reality and common sense is something that severely lacks in today's world.

That being said, the other side of the coin here would be suspension of disbelief. For the sake of the fantasy, I can accept that in this particular alternate reality of cum fountains, cow girls and fuck demons, things work a bit differently and evolution said "Fuck it (Hah!), if we're going with arm sized dicks we'll also have cervices (cervixes? cervicii?) that feel pleasure when penetrated and ballooned by gallons of cum to balance the books" and maybe everyone's skin and fleshy bits are just naturally more elastic.

How well someone can buy into that or project onto their own body even, is probably dependant on the individual consumer. Granted, men probably have an easier time imagining having two horse sized dicks and how it'd feel to cum stream instead of spurts than women can imagine penetration of the cervix and inflating the uterus being something that feels pleasuring instead of extremely painful. Simplified, the former is basically "It's like peeing but more pressure and constant orgasmic feeling" while the other is "This thing hurts and bleeds and makes me feel varying levels of discomfort once a month and you want me to imagine WHAT?"

So, yeah, different starting points for that between girls and boys.

...just like in so many other fields...

...huh...

This is more a gripe about my own dumbass rather than the game, but I finally turned on full manual combat after realizing the option actually existed, and oh my god combat makes so much more sense now


Full manual mode should be the default, because your companions have entire move sets they dont use on auto

 

[Acharehnus]

It's a shame because I like auto mode because it gives a stronger impression of your companions existance, it's more immersive.

Eh, full companion control has always been a hallmark of party based RPGs. For example, Dragon Age Origins, the greatest RPG ever made.

If anything CoC2 could do with modular party gear control as well

I prefer newer RPG's that give some autonomy to your party members personally like DA inquisition, ff15(the road trip bits at least), but I do like outfitting my party. That'd be fun.

 

[zagzig]

Manual's a good option when you're stuck on a fight but using it for every battle is just too slow for me. When I'm facing down the Marked Mercs for the 200th time I leave it on Auto control and click next until the bad guys fall down.

 

[Shrike675]

And then you lost to the elf troupe

 

[zagzig]

And then you lost to the elf troupe

Taking the fight at level 1 was a stretch, and yet even then Fritte showed my champion a lovely time. 5/5, would recommend.

 

[MarcoPolo121]

I'm conflicted. On one hand I'm hoping the next Backer patch is BriHaus because I think we've waited long enough but OTOH am on holidays away from my main computer so it's out of my reach. Ah well.

I 100% think we aren't going to get brihaus until Mayternity. Seems the perfect time to knock up a trio of cowgirls.

But, I too, wish to breed the Moo.

We know it's not, because Wsan said just a few days ago that there's still some content as part of the expansion that hasn't been written yet, though he's said it's 'very close'. Once it's written it still needs some review and coding so it's still going to be a while before it's actually implementation-ready. We're much closer to getting a different project he's been working on but not really described in detail involving Evelyn; he said it was probably two patches away shortly before the last one dropped so the next backer update (or maybe the one after) will likely have it.

Full manual mode should be the default, because your companions have entire move sets they dont use on auto

The reason companions don't use Ultimates (outside of Devotion) when computer-controlled is that there's no good way for the computer to know the best time to use those once-per-sleep-cycle abilities, and you really don't want to blow those on some trash mobs in a dungeon when there's no way to recharge it before a boss.

IIRC the reason Auto is the default is basically because companion control was added later. You can change it from the settings menu at any time, but like zag already said when you're dealing with repetitive mobs it's generally much faster to let the computer do its thing.

If anything CoC2 could do with modular party gear control as well

Companion gear sets are their equipment control, it's just opaque what stats their equipment has without digging into console commands but they do change to an extent.

Boy am I sure glad Gweyr blew unbreakable on the first trash mob in the abyss dungeon. That was smart of her

Guess it's gonna be mid/late March at the earliest then. Wish they'd finish it and put us out of our misery.

Evelyn, huh? Wonder what she could possibly be getting up to. Last I could tell she was still shacked up in the back room of the Frost Hound.

If you'd like a clue there's new Evelyn pics in the resources folder.

 

[dirt_code]

I've been looking at the libido stat since presence builds have been a recent obsession of mine but I feel like the cons outweigh the pros at every level.

From 0 to 35 we see no benefits, only drops of mental resistance with a -10 mental resist at 35.
We finally see a return at 36 with total changes being +5 sexiness, -6 focus, and -10 mental resist.
From 36 to 68 we see increases to sexiness and drops to focus with no change to mental resist.
At 68 we have +10 sexiness, -11 focus, and -10 mental resist.
From 69 to 100 we see increases to sexiness and drops to both focus and mental resist.
At 100 we have +15 sexiness, -15 focus, and -20 mental resist.

As shown, libido takes more than it gives and what it takes is imo more valuable than what we get. Sexiness won't see much use outside of dedicated tease builds while lower focus and mental resistance makes us much squishier to all forms of mental damage. I think a more reasonable exchange would be higher libido giving sexiness in exchange for lowering your tease resist, so you'd be a better teaser but specifically weaker against teasers instead of being weaker against all mental damage.

Oh damn, now I'm definitely looking forward for that expansion... though from what I've heard there will be some the other way around, including one going a bit more... blonde shall we say.

 

[MarcoPolo121]

You mean bimbofication?

 

[Sacremas]

That's the word, but I'm not sure if it got cut or not, or was a joke even. What I mainly heard was that there was an option to purify her, or that which is presumably going the other way. But given her dick is demon-given and theoretically a part of that corruption, I'd almost assume that would mean a dedicking which... doesn't seem ideal for that particular character. Would be like Cait ending up with A-cups all of a sudden, half the character gone, lol.

 

[Savin]

You heard wrongly

 

[SmithEK]

Who Evelyn? Hell that would just destroy her character. It's like bimbfying Kiro, just takes away who she is.

To be fair I wasn't saying I wanted it. I was just clarifying if that was what Sacremas meant. Since what else could "blondifying" mean besides a dye job?

I'm just going to leave this here...

Right, just providing context for the others. I kinda figured your comment there was a joke lol. Not that I'd be opposed in any way to a blonde cheery Ev, just let her keep her dick in the process. Given my main character is actually a dickgirl bimbo, they'd hit it off so well if so...

But honestly as long as I get that funtimes version in the resources folder already, I'm good, she's looking awesome.

 

[SmithEK]

Oh thank fk for that. I was worried for Evelyn then, I don't want to ruin one of the best dom dickgirl in game.

 

[MarcoPolo121]

I didn't see it happening anyway. She's got her fans who are definitely not looking for a bimbo version and given how long she's been in the game most probably already know whether they want to do her content or not by now. Anyone who doesn't like full package sans pussy futas with a domme side and would rather fuck a submissive bimbo is already indluging themselves with Jae'Lyn, the Maids at the Wayfort and several others.
