[1.19] Feedback

There are lots of opinions here on the blowjob scene, so i might as well jump in. It thought her reluctance was way overblown. I haven't gone down the options to try and keep her as pure as possible. If I did, this might have felt different. But she's been having sex with Connor pretty enthusiastically, she's had sex with Krangsk, She had sex with the guy during the GNO, and she blew the drug dealer. I'm sure I'm missing something. I can buy that she's nervous about being on camera and being judged by her peers, but that was only part of her objections. The way it played/read, it was like she was compromising her morals for the first time. At this point regret should come in cold water moments, and reluctance needs to evolve into redrawing red lines. It would take some work, but there is a way to tie her thoughts to previous decisions. I think her reluctance to open a social media page makes no sense. She's be green lit. The current mission is the most important. Other than that, the random bar encounters were a good idea, but not good to end the episode on. There was no hook.

In terms of content, I liked the reluctance but it felt too much with how I thought I played my Kate. The brief feelings of "am I really doing this?" in other updates felt just right with her kinks (all of them) but in this update it didn't seem to fit with her previous actions. Would be more fitting with a vanilla Kate but with tri-kink Kate was a little much. I'm always going to wish your updates were faster but it's your creative process so if I'm gonna support you I need to adjust my expectations.

Ok. So now that I’ve nearly finished playing this update, there are a few things I’d like to point out. Kate’s stage name is Dani. I always pick that name for her, because I just think it suits her best. But now Emilia’s stage name is also Dani. We can’t have two Dani’s working at the club. Is there a way you can go back and change Emilia’s stage name to something that is not offered as an option to Kate when she is first hired on? Second, I’ve already added my two cents regarding the plot of this update, but reading through the whole scene between Nin and Kate, it just makes no sense. Kate clearly is overreacting. The first time she encounters Bohnat at the club, she learns that the girls regularly go back to the VIP and have sex with him. As I recall, Kate seemed resigned to the fact that she may eventually have to do it as well. Her reaction to Nin totally negates her initial attitude about sex with Bohnat earlier in the game. I think that whole interaction with Nin needs correcting. Thirdly, how is her giving a BJ to him any different than having sex with Connor? Neither Connor nor Bohnat are actual customers, so is she really prostituting herself? In my opinion, she still hasn’t officially, but if she has, I would consider the Kob BJ to be a better example of that than with Bohnat. Plus, Connor is actually paying her extra for sex. So why isn’t that considered prostitution? If she’s not whoring herself with Connor, then she’s not whoring herself with Bohnat. On the other hand, if she is whoring herself with Bohnat, then she’s whoring herself with Connor. Now, the final thing I’d like to say is that the actual BJ scene made no sense. The way Kate was being eased into it by Steph, it was like it was her first time doing anything like that, and she’s already done a lot worse than giving a BJ to someone. It made her appear totally inexperienced sexually, like she was still a virgin or something. I realize that going back and rewriting a lot of the scenes will be a big undertaking, but I know you want it to be perfect. Maybe changing these few scenes would be a good place to start. 🙂

The build-up content was more enjoyable when it was tied into the life path. As it is now, there's a bit of a disconnect with the MC / I feel it's hard to truly immerse yourself in it ever since 1.6.1 and that tends to result in a 'just skip to the good stuff already' kind of mood instead.
