So I managed to finish the game.
Apart from all the feedback that I could give that does not have a lot of interested because it has been covered already, there was something that bothered me.

I got that the idea was to make this game more mature, and don't get me wrong, I enjoy the kinky side of games sometimes.

But everytime there was a "situation" in the game it felt off and very unpleasant. Basically by the end of the game my main character had intercourse with every member of the team (and one of them was Fane.......). Sure it wasn't graphic or anything, but still, the situation happened, and to be fair, it's not like I really went for it and tried hard to go in this direction. A lot of the time it just "happened", of course, I could have chose not to do anything about it, ignore it and whatnot, but still, I manage reaaaally easily to have sex with everybody (most of the time kinky weird sex).

I'm not very puritain in essence (I'm french for crying out loud), but still, I did not really like those interactions in the game, it created weird bias for the characters and weird reminder that... Well I pretty much slept with a cadaver and a giant lizard (oh necrophilia and bestiality here I come...).
It's not really major, but I do felt that those moment didn't really have a place in the game, at least not such a major place, I could have lived with a love story with one of the character, even homoerotic or even with another race, I didn't really care, the thing that bothered me was the unintentional apparent orgy, and the fact that it was so "out there", you really don't have to create any kind of connexion nor do anything, it's just "oh well, let's fuck now".

Anyway maybe I'm the only one to have encountered this, or maybe I'm too perverted to even see that it was an actual pain to have intercourse with everybody, but again, I pretty much had interactions with the other only when the exclamation point wanted me to so ... easy.

I'm not entirely sure how everything just happened. biggrin I took it more from a romance angle and, yes, there was a sex scene, but just the one. Maybe I'm not adventurous enough, but... well, yeah, Fane. Just say no.

Really? You asterisk the word and say "I'm not prudish"?

I don't know how you got your character to have sex with every character. I thought there was only one scene, and I'm sure that scene is entirely optional and skippable. I chose one character and there was a scene which was pretty silly because the narrator is giving as lot of description while you see your characters just lying there completely clothed doing nothing.

If you got your character to have sex with everyone, you must have put some effort into doing that, so I don't think you can really complain about it.

I asterix the word as a joke mostly, and because I don't want to shock people laugh

And again, my point is exactly this : I did not really put any effort into anything (believe me, I'm pretty much here for the mechanics and combat rather than the story per se). Just had a few interactions, and sure, I did pick the choices (although, some of them, I wasn't really aware it would lead to anything).

Still, even If I actually put effort into it, it does not really excuse the latent orgyesque nature of the game.

Again, if it's just me, well... I just really did not care for it, and did not find that to be really funny nor having any place in the game, and yes, that sounds prudish maybe, but it's just my opinion, I do like myself a GoT feel, but this does not feel like a good place for it, it's just... It's just really weird. (One has to explain to me how one makes love to a skeleton...)

You're pretty much on point when saying how silly the situation can be with having long descriptions but clearly no visual, it kind of proves that D:OS 2 is not really the place for it, and make the whole thing more awkward than anything else.
