It is also him wanting to fuck Brienne and Kiyoko that gets to people. And since he is a dude, it is can be seen as a threat

Arona and her "I would collar Brienne if I could" companion talk doesn't get as much, if any, scorn in comparison.

It could also be that we can turn Arona into our bitch, while our only options are to become Quins in some of his scenes. So maybe it is also that. If we only had Dom Arona that doesn't bottom, I think that would be somewhat more comparable.

Damn, a lot of people hate Quin?
I'm neutral on him. He used to be one of my faves until I realized the way Bubbles intended to write him and how I read him were completely different.

Oh. Well, the way I see Quin is that he is just a dude. Maybe with some internilized biphobia and tad to gun-ho with his magic, but a fun one non the less. That simplicity did get muddy (Family legacy, Tollus connections, His statue magic and assasin training) but overall I liked him.

I am not sure how Bubs seen him, but death of the author and all that.

As I said, as long as Birbs delivers with his anal content and I do not need to be his lover to access it (which was apperently something Bubbles wanted to), I will be happy.

Well, I always saw Quin as a casanova wannabe rather than an actual playboy like Bubbles wanted to portray him. I suppose I just can't imagine Quin being charismatic and wooing someone up. But that's mostly a "me" thing.

I mean he is a playboy with him being a bunny boy. But if that is how Quin was supposed to be sean, I do not see it. As you said, his attempts at flirtation and his general character come off as to dorky. Not that dorks can not be playboyish when time comes, but my man fumbled the bag with Cait of all people.

He is fun to tease though.

I mean, yeah. You want to casualy top him, which Bubble wanted to be a dedicated one-off scene. Inherently contradictary opinions. Which is fine, it's just hard to implement both at the same time.

...what? Why make it an one of scene? What was the logic behind it. That would have made the people with interest in Quin bottoming content like me miffled at least.

girlfriend is weird

wedding night
...what? That makes even less sense. "Oh, honey, for our special night, how about I be the bottom this time."

-- Hot steamy night proceeds --

"Wow, Quin, that was amazing!"

"Yeah, it was. I know how much this meant for you. And we are not doing it ever again!"

That is silly, I tell you!

Oh you have NO idea. This is still one of my favorite posts of all time from this Forum.
I knew which post you were talking about before I clicked the link. That whole thing truly is a gem of this forum.

Simple solution turn Quin into a woman.
Agreed 100%. But I have some sympathy for the male loving players, he is the last man standing, so maybe that would be too much. Still quite funny in my opinion, if you could turn all your companions into girls.

Quin still suffers from the same problem that he always suffers from. He almost works. Quin is a his most interesting when the story leans towards his past as an ex-cult member. However, what little snippets that are available (Getting into the Closet/Winter Wolf) is completely optional. His and Cait's relationship is also a point of interest, but outside of a few scenes it rarely comes up. Quin really needs a quest where his past comes back to haunt him such as cultist demon who was a jilted lover, or maybe Quin had more of a hand in Calla's kidnapping than he let on. Just something.

Additionally, he is just not that great mechanically. His initial set is ok but quickly gets outclassed by Azzy and Cait. And in one of the most baffling decisions of COC II, his new set is a tank that he gets from training with Atugia. WHY? Quin and Atugia has little connection with eachother. Why wouldn't it be something with Quin and Cait? And Quin already has a past as a noble, with the talons, and as a cult member. Why doesn't he have combat sets that reflect that???

That or they could just turn him into a woman. Just saying.

Nah, Hopknight Quin rocks actually. Definitely the best tank after Arena Brint. And I see nothing wrong with the companions just randomly interacting with one another, all companions should have scenes like that tbh. Things like Arona going to Viv because she's afraid of ghosts is super charming, there should be more.

It also doesn't help his case that he'd use his lust magic on people, without their knowledge, and you kinda just... ignore it?
I remember that this happened once, in a scene which was not written by BubbleLord, and when it was discussed on the forums previously BubbleLord popped in to say that it was out of character or something like that. I may be misremembering though.
