Your Gripes With CoC2

[Karakara]

All I hear is that people that play characters with dicks want the ability to use them...

Hey, even if they want to keep them dominant, they can just have those futas go for an anal ride. Give us non-hardcore submissives/masochists something to hang onto so there's a reason to keep interacting with these characters once we've exhausted their talk options.

equally good is a dedicated handjob without the buggering attached!

When I say I want to top guys, that does not necesarly mean I want to be the dominant partner. Topping and being in control is such a passe way of looking at it.

When I say I want to top a guy like Elyon, I want him to hold me by the leash, call me his dirty mut while I hump into him.

When I say I want to top a guy like Prince Nyze, I want him to tie me down, ride me like a living dildo while calling me a fiend for boy butt.

When I say I want to top a guy like Quin, I want him to wear stockings while -- Ichigo!

Credi to Loveless.

Snip for the sake of the plot

Don't change, Kara², don't change.

 

[TheIrishOtaku]

Don't change, Kara², don't change.

Maybe change a little

 

[Gabranth]

Maybe change a little

We need to turn Kara into the straightest straight to ever straight.

It'd be pretty funny to see him pull a 180°

Oh, believe me -- if we were in some paraler universe where most of the content for CoC2 was male content with lesbians on the side and I remained as I am, I would be clamoring for female, straight content. I am into breeding and wooing women as I am into breeding and wooing men. It is just that my women loving side really does not have much to complain about.

Loyal waifus, often with pregnancy kink? Brienne and her family, Kiyoko, Clem, Kohaku, Rindo, so on and so on.
Slutty lovers? Arona, Agni, Azy, Elthara, Miko and Mai -- need I continue?
Fuck buddies? Cait, Komari, non-pregnant Miko and Mai, the temple workers -- if you want easy flings with no strings attached, the game has you covered.
Dom dickgirls? Wsan.png
Sub dickgirls? Savin.png

So since we do not lack in female NPCs, besides pussy femdoms, I feel no need to shout for it. Well, besides lesbian gals. I would love more of them.

Ok, here goes nothing:
My gripe is the power dynamics is comically one-sided: in this game PC can get brainwashed, mindcontrolled, mindwiped, TF'ed, brutally pounded, asphyxiated, trained, pleasured corrupted, and forced into marriage. PC can do none of these things back. Well, except (independently written) Milly.
My gripe is the corruption continues to be nothing that matters for anybody. I thought back then and still think now, with how poor and nothing corrupted hive is and how still nonexistent corrupted marefolk is. Why would anybody ever pick that? But i have to admit - dark dragonsblood is pretty good. Other corruption things? Meh.
Bear with me a millisec, lads & lassies, i'll try to elaborate. Looking ahead, I'll say: "Yes, i know about "not-my-power-fantasy" take". Yet still:
I'm this guys, who's all about good roots/endings for most games. When I played CoC1 this was my first playthrough. But the second one? CoC1 made it fun to be a corrupted hedonistic sexual behemot that dragged others down to your level with a corrupted sexual energy so radiant that even demons were blinded and, in the end of the day, bow before your line of thinking. Surely Fenoxo team doesn't have to copy corruption 1 to 1. And yet there's like 3 types of corruption in the game, there is all kinds of ways to lower your corruption, very good weapons that work with low corruption, and Ring of Fate that halves your corruption while locking you to at most 99, but! There's nothing really to corrupt you at all.
It can't be TF's as the TF capabilities in this game by nature of being streamlined require less use which corresponds to less corruption. We're not taking tons of TF's that cause corruption, we're taking a few and now we have our PC's appearance.
There aren't many events that would trade an action for corruption. There's nothing like the woods and deepwoods corrupted fauna. There are very, very few items that apply corruption and they're one time only. Additionally the corrupt items are generally…dull. Tarnished, if you will. Like comparing Swordsoul to Deflection or the helmet that requires very high corruption for, still at this point in the game, very middling defensive boosts. In CoC1 you could hang between mid-high corruption and ride the lightning of both worlds with a rather precarious balancing act which is absent here.
In this game the corrupt options overwhelmingly give a worse reward or simply locks me out of content.
There's all kinds of reasons to stay pure and negative reason to be corrupt.
Bear with me another millisec: this whole sheet of text is not about "hurr durr CoC1>CoC2", absolutely fсking not, CoC2 is good, i do like this game. It's all about the possibilities, the inner conflict so to say. What choice should I make if the other side offers nothing? It's like corruption exist somewhere in the background, almost without touching PC. There hasn't been a moment in this game where I would really think: maybe I should let this happen, corrupt him/her/them for this juicy bonus? There is no temptation.
Again, CoC2 is not a bad game, quite the contrary, and I wish the Fenoxo team every success. But you asked about my gripes - there it is.

I completely agree. Many times I feel that the balance leans too much towards pure or loving content and although I like it, I would also like to have the option of corrupting and deliberately leaving a mark on the world around me, either from the shadows or explicitly.
