Your gripes with CoC II

[HK-47]

Ok let ! me clear up what I was saying, a lot of the transformations will turn you into a female grow boobs etc, was trying to transform into a manticore then bam the mc got boobs then I tried salamander and the boobs struck again lol. I'm not complaining or trying to force the creators to change their hard work I'm just pointing it out because I don't understand how salamanders and manticore are female only races not trying to start anything.

Well, Manticores are all all either females or hermaphrodites in the setting, so there is no getting around that with their transformative. You can just take some Wild Melon infused Blue Eggs to shrink them back down though.

As for the Salamander transformatives, you really shouldn’t be getting them if your gender alignment is masculine/gender preference is male, but honestly I’m not entirely sure they’re all working correctly, particularly the Corrupt Salamander transformative sold by Nash.

Lastly, for the Incubus transformation, either bite the bullet and drink the cum, or just use the save editor to give your champ the associated demonic features if it’s really that much of an issue for you

That‘s true to an extent, at least in regards to some of the light armor, but that still only amounts about 1/3 of the armor on offer. That’s hardly ‘most items’.

Fine, "most unique armor" then, there's a few very notable exceptions (Conqueror's Breastplate, Tiran Paladin Plate) and one very unique example where you get either the Tiran Nun Habit or the Tiran Vestment, altering depending on your gender, which personally I appreciate but when that was brought up last time there was at least one femboy player unhappy about not getting some sexy nun wear so... I guess you can't please everybody, lol.

For the most part Heavy armors are fairly gender neutral, but that pretty much means tanks in this game, which is part of what led to me making almost all my male characters tanks and my female characters light armor DPS types. Which feels like an artificial shift.

If we’re talking about light armor uniques specifically, yeah that’s true, there isn’t a lot of variety there. I only brought it up because applying that statement to all the armor/clothing available is a rather absurd exaggeration.

That said, I’m a shameless save editor who tends to add in Cait’s Hexblade Leathers on my black mage character, and then just ignore the description of it, imagining it to look like CoC2-flavored Witcher armor on him.

Edit: Truthfully, my issue with the available armor is that the heavy armor uniques are all so samey. With the exception of the Dragonscale they’ve all been breastplates so far, which I find mildly irksome. I mean, why not some chainmail, or maybe some Belharan laminar armor, rather than the same armor piece with slightly different stats over and over.

Corrupt Salamander?

 

[Sacremas]

Corrupt Salamander?

Ashen Leaf, sold by Nash in the Outskirts, for becoming a Corrupted Cinderscale Salamander.

How, exactly? I mean, certainly an argument can be made in regards to the underwear on offer, but over 2/3s of armor and clothing would be considered unisex.

This is particularly true of the armor on offer, since judging by their description most of them are practical armors, not fantasy boobplate, with the obvious exceptions of things like the Mail Bikini.

First, what I meant to say was that the majority of light armor and clothing seems to be written for female as that is how I imagine them when ever I read the description. As for heavy armor I tend not to wear them so I have little to talk about them.

Also correct me if am wrong but it seems the game lacks full body armor or is just me not reading them well.

 

[Bobonga]

Since head, hands and feet are different slots, there is no single armor that covers you from head to toe. The equippment in the "armor" slot only covers the torso and presumably the thighs as well.

It’s arguably true of the unique light armors but that’s really it. Heavy armor is pretty much entirely unisex, non-unique light armors are largely unisex, and there are a number of unisex or masculine options with clothing as well.

As for full body armor, that’s true. I think the only examples are Arona’s Chieftain’s Bronze set and the Panoply of the Holy City armor offered as reward from LumiaQuest, as those are the only sets described as being suits of plate armor.

If I recall correctly, the femboy player was mostly unhappy that they didn't get to choose. Like, having something like "You find a..." and then having the choice between the nun habit or the vestment would make it better for them. It's good to have differing aesthetics, but making it a gender lock (even if only on acquiry, since a female character turned male can still have the nun suit) is rather annoying.

Now that it's May-ternity, I'm really hoping we get to see the rest of BriHaus this month. Feel like we've been left hanging long enough.

 

[Shrike675]

Unlikely, wsan's may project is vatia pregnancy so brihaus is on hold for now.

 

[Loveless]

Unlikely, wsan's may project is vatia pregnancy so brihaus is on hold for now.

Is it? I think I heard somewhere that it was confirmed it's happening this May, but I might also be misremembering it.

You mean the salamander futa lady?

Ugh, we're never gonna see that stupid sidequest at this rate.

the naga, not her

 

[ShifterDreams]

One gripe I have is that for the salamander eye color in the tf is locked to gold when lore wise there's other color eyes naturally even if rarer and some npc salamander have non gold eyes (or even non black sclara)

 

[HugLife]

Is it? I think I heard somewhere that it was confirmed it's happening this May, but I might also be misremembering it.

Nope. The last word from him directly was "soon", which in game dev language could mean any time between now and the end of next year.

 

[WuskoKyne]

I have several gripes with CoC2 but i overlook them cause i love this game for the story and the....well everyone knows what I was gonna say anyways.

Gripe numero 1.) Upon visting Cassia and Rina. (Keep in mind that in my playthrough i did not allow Brint to be turned into Brienne) Cassia's nameplate refrences Brint as Brienne and not Brint. This had me panicking thinking that i hadn't properly stopped the armor from changing my big bull boy into a woman

Gripe number 2.) If you are going to let Brint be bisexual and allow himself to be topped by a male champion the bit about disliking all cocks should be removed as it ruins the MxM experience.

Gripe / also a suggestion 3.) Please add more gay romances. And even allow companions like Brint to be married.

And that's pretty much the end of my gripes about the game. Something else that kinda gets under my skin is not being able to set other companions other than Daliza as a Wayfort bedmate.

Okay that truly is the end of my gripes. I also hope I'm not the only gay guy out there playing this game that has fallen head over heels for Brint and hope there are changes to his character that add a more fleshed out MxM Romance between Male Champion and Brint of Khor'minos

 

[MarcoPolo121]

the naga, not her

Huh. Dunno if I've met Vatia. The snow snek?

I just got confused because Vitra was confirmed to be getting pregnancy content this month.

 

[Shrike675]

Vitra already...has pregnancy. She's not going to get pregnant because she doesn't have a vagina.

 

[valk42]

The snow snek?

her exactly, yeah

 

[SmithEK]

Vitra has 3 new scenes and each are bloody brilliant.

 

[MarcoPolo121]

I didn't say that. She has new scenes with a Champion she knocked up.

 

[Melancholy Man]

Think your missing a couple of characters there friendo

 

[Melancholy Man]

that ain't no gripe but you're high key hyping me up

 

[WuskoKyne]

And who would those characters be. I really would like to know.

 

[Melancholy Man]

Ok genuine gripe: Is the PC my character or am I playing a premade character?
So I've seen a couple of messages on the forum and things mentioned in-game and it really rubs me the wrong way that both writers and Devs will bend your character over and assign them traits you have no control over especially when they're already written as a blob. Like, why is my champ Pansex n Poly? Why wasn't that in the character sheet as a choice when I was creating them? Why does my character choose not to have sex with Cait and want to get to know her to even consider the option for sex but is willing to fuck a demon from hell on sight or ppl he/she just beat up?
The consistency is just all over the place.

 

[Melancholy Man]

Ryn, You can sleep with best wife Aileh, Jae'lyn, Solider Dommy Lyla

 

[Loveless]

I feel like you're weirdly hung up on the Cait thing. The answer why you can't sex her immediately when you talk to her is that one of the devs decided to make it like that at first, and no one bothered to change it.

 

[Loveless]

I do agree with the premade thing though. Feels like the game really wants me to be a couple with Azzy even though I'm not interested in her like that and just wanted to save her hive.

I figured that but then I realized the habit of forcing traits on the PC continues down the line well into the game. When PC gives Lyric "the talk" when they first meet and they explain how they do relationships I was like "I don't subscribe to any of this shit I just do as I please; why would you set yourself up like this as a writer? why would you set this landmine up and step on it?"

I do agree with the premade thing though. Feels like the game really wants me to be a couple with Azzy even though I'm not interested in her like that and just wanted to save her hive.

It's weird, man, I really don't understand why they didn't just commit to a path. RPG PCs usually come in three architypes:
The Amnesiac - had past and establish character but is a blank slate by the time the player meets the character, this is a classic staple where your Planescape torment and Disco Elysium, and many others come from.
The character of the world: they got a personality and everything but you get to dictate their ideology or how they feel; think Mass Effect, Witcher, Deus ex, Cyberpunk.
Self-insert: Classic D&D style, used to this day.
