Hi hyao, the only thing that i can say to the game was great, the twists, the flow of the story and so much more. It's is a good idea that i install this game. I just have a request 🥺, could in the future can have a customizable character like have a real figure to make the game much more interesting 💚. I wish it could have. Thanks and the game was so worth it to play, Keep it up.
I'm stuck at 'Northcrest Conspiracy' event. After eavesdropping on Everett and Gunnar, the game tells me to speak to Everett about what I heard. I've done all previous requirements to unlock the conversation, when I go to talk to him, the option doesn't appear. Can anybody tell me how to fix this? I thank you in advance.
I'd probably be able to enjoy the game more if it didn't promote rape culture/non-consensual sex and zoophilia. Like wtf ? I know it's fictional but like ? That's a bummer because the game has a lot of different routes for a renpy game.
I cant speak about rape culture/zoophilia as I cant remember everything and I feel lazy to make a new game to check up on things, but if I am right, there is a significant amount of CONSENT in this game already. (if not a solid 99% of consent I would say)
For instance you dont have to tease the enemies: you could choose the smash and smack route and forget about sex. Then... every time I triggered a potential sex scenenario, Hyao has given us options to select what we want... Of course you have to remember some actions may have long-term effects.
I´ll use the example of Rhot: in my game Rhot became a greedy impulsive lizard but only because I gave him too much freedom in previous situations. That is MY fault, and now this is what I get. Still I am dead serious that there are options to say "Stop!" or a simple "Not this time" so thats alright.
If you had a negative experience with any character in the game, feel free to share it here and talk things. Maybe you havent explored his options/routes :)
Ps: if the enemy is teasing you and want to avoid undesired sex, you´ll have to bring lots of restrain potions with you. Thats the only situation I can think of non-consensual sex.
I think the fact that there are those possibillites (and so many of them) alone make everything fucked up LOL. I have pretty much explored all the routes and of course the red route is nastier but i didn't expect it to be that gross. I've played a lot of seggsual visual novals and this one wins it. Some people have a hard time discerning reality it can potentially lead to dangerous stuff ?? Like just type rape in their discord and see how many people are saying "i'd love to rape X" and fantasize about raping like it's totally normal it's so effed up and triggering to me since i've been sexually assaulted. It's totally worth it since you get new route(s) as a reward, right ?? I've also seen people acknowledge the fact that you can rape (in the game) and be ok with it, telling people to not play the game if they're fragile, huh ? They label people complaining about those issues as Karens and say that's it's ok since it's fictional. Oh well i'm not expecting (priviledged) gay men to be compassionate anyway. The fact that Booner has this description ("his behavior seems to indicate he tends to get jailed because of sex related crimes...") in the official wiki makes me sick to my stomach as if it was something exciting and hot ?? Yay yet another character (probably the 87987th) in the game that rapes and fucks people without consent omg i came like 50 times just thinking about it. Supporting/promoting rape culture is so cute uwu
As another person who has been SA countless times before and actually abused for years - and the person roams free on the streets - I can say that I get your point. I truly do. But the thing is, I'm yet to find a sex focused game that has not even a moment of non consensual stuff.
Just like in the real world, these things happens in games that focuses on sex.
I have to say that this game is actually pretty tame in comparison with others that I've seen before, and all the non consensual part being avoidable is a huge step. It can be avoided, and sometimes you even forget that this option exists while playing and beating up the crap out of enemies. Really. Not to mention that said enemies can also be avoided by scaping method. Literally running away. Personally I like beating them up - what includes leveling up faster, and sometimes using cheat cookies - since that gives me satisfaction. Truly.
Also, I enjoy well-constructed worlds and plots, what this game happens to have. And I'm not saying it to hurt you or anything, but I don't think there's a porn game without even the slightest mention on noncon stuff. The closest you may get it'll be the green route on this game, and perhaps the vanilla route on Degrees of Lewdity (that also has amazing world construction and characters, even if the general plor gets tricky to find).
And about people not being able to discern things... unfortunately it's not like they'll change. The heavy amount of sex games that not only enable this behavior, but also encourages is disturbing. I honestly have no hope on people changing on this aspects, but that's exactly why I like beating enemies like them in games.
Also, I hope you're getting mental help and support, dearest. You're stronger than you think. Wish I could hug ya. If you ever need to talk, lemme know. Survivors should stick together ♡
You two have suffered abuse before?! Oh no, thats horrible :( I think i begin to understand things a bit more.
My 1st impression of Booner was "Uhh... this guy is a rapist/exhibionist" so I do get what y´all said. But the game its still not over, so I wonder what has Hyao planned for this character. Besides we can choose to ran away from him.
(Still doesnt change the fact that... uh... I bj´ed him countless of times already cause... I just cant help myself xD. Its one of those situations where you can spam mouse button to meet Booner X amount of times, or until next morning arrives.)
But I digress. I guess I play LD cause real life love/sex is way too complex for me. Here we can save/reload. Real life doesnt allow that: Stds, disagreements, rape, alcohol, drugs, violence, promiscuity levels in men, finding that person that you love and the fear of losing it... I guess I dont have the guts that takes to do endure all that... I´ll just leave that adventure to the adventurers... See? all those barriers either physical/mental go "poof" in Lustful Desires.
Therefore... Why dont we use our free will to enjoy LD the best we can <3 ?
Fun fact: I tried to join the dischord channel but I cant lol
That's exactly what I'm doing lol just trying to enjoy the game, and Hyao do some amazing plots and lovable characters - Bernard, Logan, Rhot... they're in my top three, too freaking cute ♡
(There's something that makes me grinn when I play DL that when we're walking around the town two figures pops up and they be like "So you're the one kicking rapists asses, right?" and the player goes all proud like "that's me alright". I love it.)
It's titled "Lustful Desires". I think it was intended to cover the majority of people's fetishes and whatnot, whether it be mild or extreme. And I'm pretty sure the developer didn't intend this to propagate taboo sex stuff. Just trying to appeal to people's pleasures.
So... yeah. I still and would still enjoy this game even the developer decides to put in necrophilia or... whatever over-the-top/wierd kink stuff people enjoy. The suspense of where the story is taking us is more than enough to ignore those not-for-me/distasteful details. But that's for me, in my opinion.
After the last update I saw some people talking about mc performance and that he should be able to do more to maybe save Gunnar and I agree, but one thing that I didn’t see anyone talking about was Tank and his participation, to me it seems very unbalanced like he is supposed to be a very strong and capable “soldier” and should be able to do more then just be following and doing nothing, I think if you guys plan to extend this part of the story to maybe give us a chance to save Gunnar, maybe you guys could make Tank more involved in the whole thing to make him more important to the story.
So, I restarted (simply because), but I'm curious about something... while upgrading Bernard's home, is it possible to use the three upgrades?
I think the most I got from all my saves and routes were two, the meeting room and storage room. Is it possible to upgrade a third time (the herbalist's table)?
[When I suggested the table first, he did it - but we never got a second upgrade. When I suggested both the meeting room or the storage, we got a second, but never a third one.]
I don't think so because it's the exact same for me in all the saves I've had so far as well. it could be a bug, or it could have a requirement we have yet to reach/has yet to be added in game?
Poor Bernie needs the rooms more than us, but still... Going in and out the city every single time isn't really and easy job for the Herbalist (when it's not night and we have to wait for the next day), and it'd be so fun to just brew some potions while Bernard's like, admiring us or something - that would be so like him
oh. oh my god I need that now. just Bernard doing his work but it's going slow and we're just making potions and he just stares all lovey dovey causing us to ask "something up?" or idk and he's just still quiet because he's admiring us and only realizes we noticed after a minute and gets hella embarrassed or something cute like that.
I was thinking of something like, we open the table, use it, and the moment we close it pops up a text saying like:
Idk, wariness check?
You've noticed while working that Bernard's attention has been on you. For a while now. He's been quiet and is working slower than usual, just to watch you. Admiring you, openly so. Once every few seconds he shifts his whole attention to what you're doing, probably thinking you'd never notice.
Now, depending on your intimacy level:
"What?" You ask the shopkeeper.
"What, what?" Bernard smiles looking at you.
"You're staring."
1st: "It's just fascinating to watch an Herbalist work, I guess. Just a bunch of ingredients and boom, a potion. I could never, I'm sure of it. You just makes it look so easy. I know I'd make mess after mess." He's pats your back affectionately. "Glad to know we're in your very capable hands."
You smile, finishing up what you were doing, and gives Bernard a hug.
"Thanks, Bernard."
He kisses you on your forehead, answering the hug with a bear one.
"Anytime, [name]. Glad you're visiting me more often to work. Always a pleasure to spend time with you."
Then we leave, finishing this interaction.
2nd: "I am admiring you work. Do you have a problem with that [name]?"
"Nope." You smile. "Not at all."
Finishing what you're doing, you turn, getting close to the shopkeeper. He smiles more openly, hugging your waist, resting his forehead in yours. Your hands on his chest.
"I'm glad you're visiting me so often, even if it's just to work. I get to spend more time with you, and I can admire you brewing your potions. Never seize to amaze me watch you doing it, looks so easy. Not that I could ever do it."
"Dunno, I never had an apprentice before." You joke, earning a smirk. "Also never heard of an apprentice having other apprentice. Want to try?"
"No, thanks." He laughs. "My hands could never work on something so delicate." He pauses. "Well, aside from you, maybe..."
"Oh, Bernie..."
A tender kiss followed, showing how much the appreciated you and your presence. The pure joy on his smile after the kiss made you smile as well. You'd never get tired of kissing this man.
"Now I have to go back to work. Come visit more often."
"For you to admire me working?" You tease.
"You'll have to come again to discover." He kisses your nose. "Always a pleasure to spend time with you. Love you."
"Love you too, Bernie."
Then, we leave ♡
But still, that's just me and my hopeful heart to have cute interactions with this teddy bear ♡
Guys? Is it possible to rename my character somehow? I wish to rename it as Kadan, so Ste can call me that way. I know, I know, Ste isnt the Iron Bull, but it would work for me xD.
Nameless event is one-time-only event, you cannot undone what you choose even you start to play again. But if you have keep your old "persistent file" before you choose a nameless's choice, you can undone what you choose.
O jogo ainda tá atualizando aos pouquinhos, e como só tem em inglês, acho que devem expandir pra outros idiomas (se expandir) quando o jogo estiver perto do final
uhhh can you tell me about thr rabbit in stes house? and everyone was talking about the (THING) in the stes farm.....like can you tell me????? im so confused
uh kinda? it's pretty weird lmao. you sleep at his place and you get a nightmare about a rabbit telling you to leave the farm alone and he then proceeds to tear our throat apart by eating it. that's all I got for it rn and far as I know that's all there is atm too XD
I recently found out that I still haven't done the "I owe you a beer" quest, and the problem is that when I get back to my house in the village (yes I've done all the necessary activities) the event does not trigger. At the story level I had already finished the main quest with werewolves and logan is not a botom.
Hayyy can anyone help about the "trouble in the den" about (clash between Logan and barell when entering the tavern in bareshade????? I mean how exactly
You need to travel to the bar if you've already completed the bandit quest line. It's a scene that will happen before you actually get to the bar. For extra chances, go to Jester and see if the bandits are doing poorly. I find this increases the chances of it happening or it could be I just have luck
You can pay them 50 gold through Jester, which you can do once per day. If you failed to defeat Scar, you need to do the "A Bitch for Thugs" quest by Jester -who will give it once in a while. I don't know about the "if you defeat scar" route if that option is available.
I haven't enslaved Tao. But if you don't see the option "Journey to the island" if you can interact with him, you might need to load a save or start a new game to met him.
First, you need to get to the River's Bank -either pay the troll, mate with the troll, or go through the cave. Then, you need to take a break there, where you can ask Gunnar about it. I don't think his likes matter for that question since I got it at 40ish.
Sharing some myth, do you know if you remove all the items you armed specially your clothes there's a new messages and reaction to each places you go being naked.🙊🙉🙈
hey, what do I need to find Garuik? I spent 10 in-game nights searching for him between 17:00 to 06:00 and I already did the full moon and the road event am I forgeting something or am I just really unlucky?
Wow. Hyao promised a lore dump and he delivered. This update was really great. I got some goosebumps while reading the diaries left around the Blakemore manor.
The conclusion of the event has left me thirsty for more as it ended on a (according to my oppinion) well chose cliffhanger. I wasn't too much of a fan of Gunnar and don't feel like acting submissive just to gain his approval but I respect him for standing by his convictions and his great loyalty. Also Nameless' warning finally seems to make sense. I always thought that either Jester or Gunnar would end up betraying Scar. I haven't seen anyone mention it but judging by the diary in Jester's room and his appearance before Gunnar it seems like he's responsible for the shapeshifters or at the very least partially responsible for setting them loose? Although it's been hinted at that lady Tess is aware something is going on with the Blakemore's. I'm really digging this conspiracy plot among the nobles and that cult in Mythshore.
To summarize an unexpectadly long rant I really liked this update and can barely wait for more! (If Hyao reads this do not take this as an attempt of me to rush things. Take the time you need to deliver such quality content. This game is great.)
I kind of feel like the shapeshifters are possessing people and turning them into their hosts. The writings in jester's room sounded like his mind was starting to break down like that other guy's. Like the voices were eating their way into his head without him understanding what was happening.
Can someone help me with the Junkyard puzzle. I got the water plate, two earth plates, and an air plate. Does anyone know where can I find the fire plate and how to solve this puzzle?
hi everyone, i have a little issue, i’ve started the game again for logan part, everything went correctly exept for one thing : bernard is still shopkeeper, even if in the text i call him bernard o bernie. Did i do something worng? I have 3 hearts with him , had esex and everything. Is this some kind of bug?
Is not a big deal since i’ve restarted the game for the relation with logan , but that issue hurt my nervous system😂
This one is a bit tricky, since you'll need to do quite a lot - it took me more than a month in game to get it because I was kinda lost too.
Make sure you only has one heart with him, 'k? It won't happen if you have the third heart (involving the Den event). But you'll need at least 40 likes too. I did with 70 and went smoothly.
First, you'll need to talk to him and help him with his job.
You'll need to progress on the Living Aspects of the village too, with Bernard.
Then the "new road" event, offering Ste to go to Bareshade and talking about constructing a new road since the underground can be dangerous. You'll also need to supervise and help the workers. (I got anxious trying to keep everyone alive, seriously).
I also went to the fair with him, but be careful on what you talk about. He won the guessing game (boy just loves our smell, and he knows we knows it) and gave us a Lucky Charm necklace. Wear it.
Then stay at your home in Bareshade, not the hut. At night he'll make a visit. Create a save file if you want to have the angry sex scene, but came back and choose to stop him if you want the heart. In the morning, grab his hand.
Hey! I am exploring the Murdac cave with Scar but minimap doesn't show anything,is this normal? And I can't go and see Caleb at old barn after waiting 8 days,game just crashes. What should I do?
You can get a horse to ride by talking with the caravan at Riverbank. After that he will give you one horse (you can should your own horse), and after you build a stable. A horse you chosen will be right there in you stable.
After you have a stable, you can catch some rideable monster like woubulk, rapter to ride.
First, will Logan get more date content? I finished his content so far (and he gets cuter and cuter-) but we never get a proper date with him. Bernard has the hut, the company during work hours, sleeping together and Caleb-herbalist-Bernard (threesome?) moments, which I do love about him, he's adorable, but will Logan receive dates too?
Second, is there a way that serving the Nameless will fuck me up? Because I'm seriously scared of serving him and ending up hurt someone I care about...
[Still processing the fact that I genuinely feel heartbroken and fell in love with a heavily gay themed porn game]
About point 2. No one can say for sure. You will have to make a choice xD. I have chosen to serve him, no matter what consequences that may unleash...
Just in case you havent reached that part of the story... beware spoilers:
You said "I'm seriously scared of serving him and ending up hurt someone I care about" Later on, you meet Groth, the orc with a tusk broken, and... Nameless will give you the choice to involve him in lewd stuff... I think (I am just guessing since the text will appear in red color... xD) however Nameless is giving you a choice there as well. I decided not involve him and enjoy Nameless company myself...
We´ll have to wait to see more of his story, but I want to trust him yes or yes even if its sounds like a horrible idea. I like dominant monsters lol
I see... actually I kinda like him, he came on the Halloween event and seemed sad to be the Villain, then, he came and offered a choice - but I was wary of him since the whole "I can control your friends whatever I like to get what I want" - and then he came again, to warn us about both the witch (who is sketchy as hell) and about the whole thing happening in Northcrest.
I'm just worried about hurting someone in the process because the characters are pretty lovable, y'know?
Yeah, it happens when the cast of characters is wholesome :P. This is not my 1st game where I fell in love with ficitional characters when possible, so yup been there, done that <3. Enjoy it! ^_^
For the first question, since we can get his 3rd heart, I think there would be a new event with him in a future which require you to have 3 hearts with him.
Logan, absolutely. he is prolly one of the top 3 characters for everybody in the fandom. no way Hyao would just cut us off from him lol.
Nameless though...... it's a lot more complicated. it has POTENTIAL to fuck things up, but thats all stuff that has yet to be added. in all honesty it might never come to that and Hyao might make it so Nameless leaves all other people we like alone if we serve him, or Hyao might make things very bad very quick with some people. we won't know until after it's added so... it's a massive maybe.
this also is understandable originally, I just wanted something to jack off with but then I actually played the game and now cannot get over how good this game is in story and gameplay. the porn is only a benefit at this rate for me XD
That's exactly how I feel! It's a wholesome rpg with mature parts and characters so well-written that even without any mission to play (I'm sticking to my decision to not play the whole Invasion to Northcrest thing again without a clear way to enter the abandoned mansion simply because it must be a way to save Gunnar) I still keep playing for the characters and gameplay overall.
I'm avoiding the furry island for now because there's nothing to do and Sabal gets me confused with his talking, and I'm not sure, but I guess there's a way to avoid any bad endings in Northcrest involving Lady Tess. Alden said he would try to schedule a meeting. And I refuse to be stuck in that camp without seeing Bernard or Logan anytime soon.
I played Dragon Age Inquisition a long ass time ago and I think LD could be comparable to it. just if we actually saw dick in dragon age and got to get "visuals" for the "Romantic" scenes other than basic suggestive imagery (still love the game and not complaining about that btw Iron Bull is one of my personal favorite characters ever lmao). the writing is just as good and, in my opinion, could be potentially better. the fighting system is also very fun, and the art style is amazing! (Zoroj and Narram do amazing on sprite work and Gavel does great with the amazing backgrounds and Civ with the beautiful music!) and fair on the avoiding it since not avoiding it leads to being stuck in the camp and.... Gunnar...
I understand this too but I think that the reason it's not much to do though is because Hyao is working on Northcrest atm. I have a feeling the next few updates will all be directed at Northcrest/where MC is now because Hyao has more to tell us and he couldn't release it all right away. Sabal too, he confuses me as well but he's hot and apparently, he has a tribe full of his people so like... keeping as high of like as I can for now lol. however, what do you mean by a way to avoid bad endings via lady Tess? I think that the meeting Alden speaks of is going to require the event be done and it becomes it's own separate thing/event.
with Bernard and Logan btw, fair. all I got is fair. they too Hot to ignore.
wishful thinking though, nothing wrong with it. gotta have high hopes else we don't really got much now a days. nothing is set in stone so for all we know Gunnar might just show up out of thin air and the event was a ruse by Hyao to make us sad to see how we would react to character deaths. which if true I don't know how I would feel about that.
Yeah, this game is really good. Everything is seriously well-built and written. The soundtrack is perfect. The characters are amazing.
I don't actually know, but it would be nice if helping Lady Tess investigation on the missing family leads us to the key of that freaking door, and if it does, it could save the party while also giving us time and whatnot. Dunno, but I think the investigation is somewhat related to almost everything that's happening on Northcrest. Including this feels event.
Truth be told, both Bernard and Logan hold my heart. They're so lovely it hurts. (Rhot is quite cute too, as Caleb, but these two... ♡)
You're talking about having high hopes... dearest, my anxiety hyperphantasia is creating lots of stories about this game, some heartbreaking, others fluffliest than the whole pack. Whatever happens, I just hope for the best outcome among the options we'll receive~
this actually is possible, Hyao hasn't even changed anything major on big events on these by making an optional path come earlier, but maybe Hyao will this time? also, I'm gonna agree on the investigation pertaining to literally everything we just learned, maybe Lady Tess will know/used to know the people who are now shapeshifters personally and already be suspicious of them because they changed after they became shapeshifters, making her side with us and give us more access to Northcrest?
love how they were introduced in the beginning, and everyone STILL understands they are top tier husbands. even if one of them refuses to accept his feelings until.... a long ass time later lol. (Rhot is adorable too, love how he tries to be cold and cool, but his tail is like "BESTIE" and just always wraps around MC's leg lol. Caleb is also just the biggest goofball of all so like.. insane extra points there. but Logan and Bernard are literally perfect examples of the two types people like the most, Quiet and mean until you bond becoming incredibly affectionate and slightly possessive, and literally just a teddy bear who gets more teddy bear the more you know him. everyone can tell who is who there lol.)
I don't know almost anything other than what google said about hyperphantasia, but I hope it's not annoying or difficult for you to deal with. tbf the best we got right now is hopes and dreams for what's coming, specifically involving potential rescuing of someone or changing his fate via manipulation/effort from either us, or old friends.
Yes!!! Another Iron Bull fan :D <3 hahahaha However I am still angry at Bioware cause I wanted to romance Garrus Valkarian as a man, and Bioware wont let me do it ¬¬... hahaha.
I am currently playing MEAndromeda and Jaal is one charming alien... the only problem is my pathfinder looks like shite xD. I´ve been unable to make a handsome man. Male inquisitors on the other hand were incredible *_*
You can copies all your game folder to your new computer and play it just like you have been. A game folder could be a folder name 'game' which contains a folder name 'save' so you can play it with your save files.
I just wanna say... F*ck you Nameless bald Cthulhu. How dare you break the fourth wall and ruin my save? It was merely curiousity that made me chose those options. I let my intrusive thoughts win. And I hate you for that
How do we proceed with Lizard's Treasure event? I'm at the point where I have to accompany the lizards to the human village and it told me to speak to Roushk when I'm ready. Except the option didn't come out when I talked to Roushk. Am I missing something here? I can't get other events going since I haven't completed this particular event. And also, how do we obtain the Nameless event?

Hi hyao, the only thing that i can say to the game was great, the twists, the flow of the story and so much more. It's is a good idea that i install this game. I just have a request 🥺, could in the future can have a customizable character like have a real figure to make the game much more interesting 💚. I wish it could have.

I've done all previous requirements to unlock the conversation, when I go to talk to him, the option doesn't appear. Can anybody tell me how to fix this? I thank you in advance.
visit the orc village and mityshore and return on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Already did everything you said, and it still doesn't appear.
look closely at the steps you did something did not go well
I'd probably be able to enjoy the game more if it didn't promote rape culture/non-consensual sex and zoophilia. Like wtf ? I know it's fictional but like ? That's a bummer because the game has a lot of different routes for a renpy game.
I cant speak about rape culture/zoophilia as I cant remember everything and I feel lazy to make a new game to check up on things, but if I am right, there is a significant amount of CONSENT in this game already. (if not a solid 99% of consent I would say)

I´ll use the example of Rhot: in my game Rhot became a greedy impulsive lizard but only because I gave him too much freedom in previous situations. That is MY fault, and now this is what I get. Still I am dead serious that there are options to say "Stop!" or a simple "Not this time" so thats alright.
If you had a negative experience with any character in the game, feel free to share it here and talk things. Maybe you havent explored his options/routes :)
Ps: if the enemy is teasing you and want to avoid undesired sex, you´ll have to bring lots of restrain potions with you. Thats the only situation I can think of non-consensual sex.
I think the fact that there are those possibillites (and so many of them) alone make everything fucked up LOL. I have pretty much explored all the routes and of course the red route is nastier but i didn't expect it to be that gross. I've played a lot of seggsual visual novals and this one wins it.

Like just type rape in their discord and see how many people are saying "i'd love to rape X" and fantasize about raping like it's totally normal it's so effed up and triggering to me since i've been sexually assaulted. It's totally worth it since you get new route(s) as a reward, right ??
I've also seen people acknowledge the fact that you can rape (in the game) and be ok with it, telling people to not play the game if they're fragile, huh ? They label people complaining about those issues as Karens and say that's it's ok since it's fictional. Oh well i'm not expecting (priviledged) gay men to be compassionate anyway. The fact that Booner has this description ("his behavior seems to indicate he tends to get jailed because of sex related crimes...") in the official wiki makes me sick to my stomach as if it was something exciting and hot ?? Yay yet another character (probably the 87987th) in the game that rapes and fucks people without consent omg i came like 50 times just thinking about it. Supporting/promoting rape culture is so cute uwu
Hello sweetie,
As another person who has been SA countless times before and actually abused for years - and the person roams free on the streets - I can say that I get your point. I truly do. But the thing is, I'm yet to find a sex focused game that has not even a moment of non consensual stuff.
Just like in the real world, these things happens in games that focuses on sex.
I have to say that this game is actually pretty tame in comparison with others that I've seen before, and all the non consensual part being avoidable is a huge step. It can be avoided, and sometimes you even forget that this option exists while playing and beating up the crap out of enemies. Really. Not to mention that said enemies can also be avoided by scaping method. Literally running away. Personally I like beating them up - what includes leveling up faster, and sometimes using cheat cookies - since that gives me satisfaction. Truly.
Also, I enjoy well-constructed worlds and plots, what this game happens to have. And I'm not saying it to hurt you or anything, but I don't think there's a porn game without even the slightest mention on noncon stuff. The closest you may get it'll be the green route on this game, and perhaps the vanilla route on Degrees of Lewdity (that also has amazing world construction and characters, even if the general plor gets tricky to find).
And about people not being able to discern things... unfortunately it's not like they'll change. The heavy amount of sex games that not only enable this behavior, but also encourages is disturbing. I honestly have no hope on people changing on this aspects, but that's exactly why I like beating enemies like them in games.
Also, I hope you're getting mental help and support, dearest. You're stronger than you think. Wish I could hug ya. If you ever need to talk, lemme know. Survivors should stick together ♡
You two have suffered abuse before?! Oh no, thats horrible :( I think i begin to understand things a bit more.
My 1st impression of Booner was "Uhh... this guy is a rapist/exhibionist" so I do get what y´all said. But the game its still not over, so I wonder what has Hyao planned for this character. Besides we can choose to ran away from him.
(Still doesnt change the fact that... uh... I bj´ed him countless of times already cause... I just cant help myself xD. Its one of those situations where you can spam mouse button to meet Booner X amount of times, or until next morning arrives.)
But I digress. I guess I play LD cause real life love/sex is way too complex for me. Here we can save/reload. Real life doesnt allow that: Stds, disagreements, rape, alcohol, drugs, violence, promiscuity levels in men, finding that person that you love and the fear of losing it... I guess I dont have the guts that takes to do endure all that... I´ll just leave that adventure to the adventurers... See? all those barriers either physical/mental go "poof" in Lustful Desires.
Therefore... Why dont we use our free will to enjoy LD the best we can <3 ?
Fun fact: I tried to join the dischord channel but I cant lol
That's exactly what I'm doing lol just trying to enjoy the game, and Hyao do some amazing plots and lovable characters - Bernard, Logan, Rhot... they're in my top three, too freaking cute ♡
(There's something that makes me grinn when I play DL that when we're walking around the town two figures pops up and they be like "So you're the one kicking rapists asses, right?" and the player goes all proud like "that's me alright". I love it.)
What is this about the Discord tho?
It's titled "Lustful Desires". I think it was intended to cover the majority of people's fetishes and whatnot, whether it be mild or extreme. And I'm pretty sure the developer didn't intend this to propagate taboo sex stuff. Just trying to appeal to people's pleasures.
So... yeah. I still and would still enjoy this game even the developer decides to put in necrophilia or... whatever over-the-top/wierd kink stuff people enjoy. The suspense of where the story is taking us is more than enough to ignore those not-for-me/distasteful details. But that's for me, in my opinion.
Spoiler:
After the last update I saw some people talking about mc performance and that he should be able to do more to maybe save Gunnar and I agree, but one thing that I didn’t see anyone talking about was Tank and his participation, to me it seems very unbalanced like he is supposed to be a very strong and capable “soldier” and should be able to do more then just be following and doing nothing, I think if you guys plan to extend this part of the story to maybe give us a chance to save Gunnar, maybe you guys could make Tank more involved in the whole thing to make him more important to the story.
Can anyone pls help me how to use all the plates
And how to get all the plates as well
Water plate, first found, used outside the ruin - on the junkyard
Earth plates, found inside the ruins (I have two of them)
Wind plate, first half while investigating the ruins, second half from the rat King
Fire plate, it doesn't exist at the moment, work in progress
Sorry, I have a question
So, I restarted (simply because), but I'm curious about something... while upgrading Bernard's home, is it possible to use the three upgrades?
I think the most I got
from all my saves and routeswere two, the meeting room and storage room. Is it possible to upgrade a third time (the herbalist's table)?[When I suggested the table first, he did it - but we never got a second upgrade. When I suggested both the meeting room or the storage, we got a second, but never a third one.]
I don't think so because it's the exact same for me in all the saves I've had so far as well. it could be a bug, or it could have a requirement we have yet to reach/has yet to be added in game?
That's exactly what I want to know
Poor Bernie needs the rooms more than us, but still... Going in and out the city every single time isn't really and easy job for the Herbalist (when it's not night and we have to wait for the next day), and it'd be so fun to just brew some potions while Bernard's like, admiring us or something - that would be so like him
oh. oh my god I need that now. just Bernard doing his work but it's going slow and we're just making potions and he just stares all lovey dovey causing us to ask "something up?" or idk and he's just still quiet because he's admiring us and only realizes we noticed after a minute and gets hella embarrassed or something cute like that.
Yup
I was thinking of something like, we open the table, use it, and the moment we close it pops up a text saying like:
Idk, wariness check?
You've noticed while working that Bernard's attention has been on you. For a while now. He's been quiet and is working slower than usual, just to watch you. Admiring you, openly so. Once every few seconds he shifts his whole attention to what you're doing, probably thinking you'd never notice.
Now, depending on your intimacy level:
"What?" You ask the shopkeeper.
"What, what?" Bernard smiles looking at you.
"You're staring."
1st: "It's just fascinating to watch an Herbalist work, I guess. Just a bunch of ingredients and boom, a potion. I could never, I'm sure of it. You just makes it look so easy. I know I'd make mess after mess." He's pats your back affectionately. "Glad to know we're in your very capable hands."
You smile, finishing up what you were doing, and gives Bernard a hug.
"Thanks, Bernard."
He kisses you on your forehead, answering the hug with a bear one.
"Anytime, [name]. Glad you're visiting me more often to work. Always a pleasure to spend time with you."
Then we leave, finishing this interaction.
2nd: "I am admiring you work. Do you have a problem with that [name]?"
"Nope." You smile. "Not at all."
Finishing what you're doing, you turn, getting close to the shopkeeper. He smiles more openly, hugging your waist, resting his forehead in yours. Your hands on his chest.
"I'm glad you're visiting me so often, even if it's just to work. I get to spend more time with you, and I can admire you brewing your potions. Never seize to amaze me watch you doing it, looks so easy. Not that I could ever do it."
"Dunno, I never had an apprentice before." You joke, earning a smirk. "Also never heard of an apprentice having other apprentice. Want to try?"
"No, thanks." He laughs. "My hands could never work on something so delicate." He pauses. "Well, aside from you, maybe..."
"Oh, Bernie..."
A tender kiss followed, showing how much the appreciated you and your presence. The pure joy on his smile after the kiss made you smile as well. You'd never get tired of kissing this man.
"Now I have to go back to work. Come visit more often."
"For you to admire me working?" You tease.
"You'll have to come again to discover." He kisses your nose. "Always a pleasure to spend time with you. Love you."
"Love you too, Bernie."
Then, we leave ♡
But still, that's just me and my hopeful heart to have cute interactions with this teddy bear ♡
holy shit. if I hadn't done pretty much everything in this game I would totally believe this was already in it with how well it's written lol.
Can someone Help me How to Finish This Quest??
Blow up the slimes with bombs, or buy it from the witch (I think it's the night witch)
you can farm the swamp for green slimes, or purchase them from the witch, as Bored Witch said.
Guys? Is it possible to rename my character somehow? I wish to rename it as Kadan, so Ste can call me that way. I know, I know, Ste isnt the Iron Bull, but it would work for me xD.
There isn't a way to rename your character but the idea of naming your character Kadan is nice lol
no there isnt a way currently.
also this made me imagine ste in an Iron Bull cosplay and it seems amazing so thank you lol.
Sorry i use google translation
I want to play another nameless scene, I only have to delete the game and reload it?
If I really had to play again, I would feel very sad.
I haven't finished the game but I saw the answer disappear.
Nameless event is one-time-only event, you cannot undone what you choose even you start to play again. But if you have keep your old "persistent file" before you choose a nameless's choice, you can undone what you choose.
Você sabe se tem versão em português?
não no momento, mas talvez mais tarde google traduzido
Acho que não deve lançar tão cedo, chuchu
O jogo ainda tá atualizando aos pouquinhos, e como só tem em inglês, acho que devem expandir pra outros idiomas (se expandir) quando o jogo estiver perto do final
guys what happens if i kiss scrap the white rat?
as far as i remember it change only one dialogue with Tao (the red panda) if i'm not wrong
hii guyyyss how you all doin????
good hbu?
im fineeeee tnkss
uhhh can you tell me about thr rabbit in stes house? and everyone was talking about the (THING) in the stes farm.....like can you tell me????? im so confused
uh kinda? it's pretty weird lmao. you sleep at his place and you get a nightmare about a rabbit telling you to leave the farm alone and he then proceeds to tear our throat apart by eating it. that's all I got for it rn and far as I know that's all there is atm too XD
when i see the commemnts they were talking about this <thing> that wants to meet me...at night? in stes house
ok but.....how can i get a event of the berrets missing guard or you know 3 missing prson that they were talking about....
I recently found out that I still haven't done the "I owe you a beer" quest, and the problem is that when I get back to my house in the village (yes I've done all the necessary activities) the event does not trigger. At the story level I had already finished the main quest with werewolves and logan is not a botom.
have you completed the village expansion quest 100%?
and, have you finished the trouble in the den quest?
For the expansion i just need to wait until sunday for the fair
For the den quest i need to wait one week.
Hayyy can anyone help about the "trouble in the den" about (clash between Logan and barell when entering the tavern in bareshade????? I mean how exactly
You need to travel to the bar if you've already completed the bandit quest line. It's a scene that will happen before you actually get to the bar. For extra chances, go to Jester and see if the bandits are doing poorly. I find this increases the chances of it happening or it could be I just have luck
i think i already did.maybe
can you tell me how to bandits morale must higher than 25.How???? I'm still 0
You can pay them 50 gold through Jester, which you can do once per day. If you failed to defeat Scar, you need to do the "A Bitch for Thugs" quest by Jester -who will give it once in a while. I don't know about the "if you defeat scar" route if that option is available.
can someone tell me how can i meet grahm again guys????????
Grahm is in the Adventurer's Guild. You need to free Tao from the Rat King in order to get to the island where the Adventurer's Guild is located.
I HAVE A QUESTION WHAT HAPPENS IF I SLAVE TAO TO MINE?
I haven't enslaved Tao. But if you don't see the option "Journey to the island" if you can interact with him, you might need to load a save or start a new game to met him.
How do I "Ask if he is satisfied with your skill" to Gunnar? I have his like at 70 atm.
First, you need to get to the River's Bank -either pay the troll, mate with the troll, or go through the cave. Then, you need to take a break there, where you can ask Gunnar about it. I don't think his likes matter for that question since I got it at 40ish.
Please make more female content, but the game is still great))
How to sleep with roushouk?
Sharing some myth, do you know if you remove all the items you armed specially your clothes there's a new messages and reaction to each places you go being naked.🙊🙉🙈
there are interactions if your naked in places. Bareshade has characters react, in Northcrest you just get arrested lmao.
But... thats just not too bad lmao xD. I wont say more... :P
well yeah, the people you meet during and after being arrested are... fun. to say the least :3
hey, what do I need to find Garuik? I spent 10 in-game nights searching for him between 17:00 to 06:00 and I already did the full moon and the road event am I forgeting something or am I just really unlucky?
you need to go to the new road path to see him
it is between the forest path and farmstead
Hey, might be a stupid question but i did the main story and am I stuck in Redwood forest until a new update or is there a way out?
wait for the next update. inescapable atm.
This comment contains spoilers for 0.51 update!
Wow. Hyao promised a lore dump and he delivered. This update was really great. I got some goosebumps while reading the diaries left around the Blakemore manor.
The conclusion of the event has left me thirsty for more as it ended on a (according to my oppinion) well chose cliffhanger. I wasn't too much of a fan of Gunnar and don't feel like acting submissive just to gain his approval but I respect him for standing by his convictions and his great loyalty. Also Nameless' warning finally seems to make sense. I always thought that either Jester or Gunnar would end up betraying Scar. I haven't seen anyone mention it but judging by the diary in Jester's room and his appearance before Gunnar it seems like he's responsible for the shapeshifters or at the very least partially responsible for setting them loose? Although it's been hinted at that lady Tess is aware something is going on with the Blakemore's. I'm really digging this conspiracy plot among the nobles and that cult in Mythshore.
To summarize an unexpectadly long rant I really liked this update and can barely wait for more! (If Hyao reads this do not take this as an attempt of me to rush things. Take the time you need to deliver such quality content. This game is great.)
I kind of feel like the shapeshifters are possessing people and turning them into their hosts. The writings in jester's room sounded like his mind was starting to break down like that other guy's. Like the voices were eating their way into his head without him understanding what was happening.
where can I get the last key of the gate in the shrine
What do you mean?
I guess you're talking about the stone lizard pieces? Since I don't know which one you're missing I'll just list them all.
There's one in the bandit camp as a random event in which Tank chases one of the thugs.
There's one as a reward for a quest from the day witch in the dark swamp.
There's one you can find simply by exploring the swamp or dark swamp.
Can someone help me with the Junkyard puzzle. I got the water plate, two earth plates, and an air plate. Does anyone know where can I find the fire plate and how to solve this puzzle?
There is no fire plate is still WIP
How did you get all those plates?
Tem algum jeito de mover o save para outro celular?
hi everyone, i have a little issue, i’ve started the game again for logan part, everything went correctly exept for one thing : bernard is still shopkeeper, even if in the text i call him bernard o bernie. Did i do something worng? I have 3 hearts with him , had esex and everything. Is this some kind of bug?
Is not a big deal since i’ve restarted the game for the relation with logan , but that issue hurt my nervous system😂
But... he'll always be the shopkeeper, no?
You need to go to the date at the bar with him
oh ok how i do trigger that? Thanks for the help
At noon at the bar, I think during Mon-Fri, there is the option "jointhe shopkeeper"
it worked it was at friday but in the evening after bernard work. thank you😉
is there a way how to move all saves? i moved the game folder, and only few saves moved
In PC, there a main save folder locates in %appdata%/RenPy/lustfuldesire...
This folder contains all save files and persistent file.
我得到了心，我失去了gunnar，我还在任务过程中不小心失去了以前几个重大抉择的存档（不小心覆盖掉了）(╥ω╥`) 简直不能更伤心
awesome!!
Please don't let Gunnar die. I like him very much and feel very sad.
can someone help me I can't get second heart for logan.
This one is a bit tricky, since you'll need to do quite a lot - it took me more than a month in game to get it because I was kinda lost too.
Make sure you only has one heart with him, 'k? It won't happen if you have the third heart (involving the Den event). But you'll need at least 40 likes too. I did with 70 and went smoothly.
First, you'll need to talk to him and help him with his job.
You'll need to progress on the Living Aspects of the village too, with Bernard.
Then the "new road" event, offering Ste to go to Bareshade and talking about constructing a new road since the underground can be dangerous. You'll also need to supervise and help the workers. (I got anxious trying to keep everyone alive, seriously).
I also went to the fair with him, but be careful on what you talk about. He won the guessing game (boy just loves our smell, and he knows we knows it) and gave us a Lucky Charm necklace. Wear it.
Then stay at your home in Bareshade, not the hut. At night he'll make a visit. Create a save file if you want to have the angry sex scene, but came back and choose to stop him if you want the heart. In the morning, grab his hand.
Hope it helps ♡
Hey! I am exploring the Murdac cave with Scar but minimap doesn't show anything,is this normal? And I can't go and see Caleb at old barn after waiting 8 days,game just crashes. What should I do?
Can some one remind me how to get the train animal to mount? Cant seem to get it. Are you not allowed to get -100 with wolves for that?
You can get a horse to ride by talking with the caravan at Riverbank. After that he will give you one horse (you can should your own horse), and after you build a stable. A horse you chosen will be right there in you stable.
After you have a stable, you can catch some rideable monster like woubulk, rapter to ride.
If you're refering to being unable to teach it "mount" as a command, just feed it a bunch.
To teach your animals commands you need to have a certain like with them. Usually around 10-15 unlocks all commands
So, I have questions...
First, will Logan get more date content? I finished his content so far (and he gets cuter and cuter-) but we never get a proper date with him. Bernard has the hut, the company during work hours, sleeping together and Caleb-herbalist-Bernard (threesome?) moments, which I do love about him, he's adorable, but will Logan receive dates too?
Second, is there a way that serving the Nameless will fuck me up? Because I'm seriously scared of serving him and ending up hurt someone I care about...
[
Still processing the fact that I genuinely feel heartbroken and fell in love with a heavily gay themed porn game]About point 2. No one can say for sure. You will have to make a choice xD. I have chosen to serve him, no matter what consequences that may unleash...
Just in case you havent reached that part of the story... beware spoilers:
You said "I'm seriously scared of serving him and ending up hurt someone I care about" Later on, you meet Groth, the orc with a tusk broken, and... Nameless will give you the choice to involve him in lewd stuff... I think (I am just guessing since the text will appear in red color... xD) however Nameless is giving you a choice there as well. I decided not involve him and enjoy Nameless company myself...
We´ll have to wait to see more of his story, but I want to trust him yes or yes even if its sounds like a horrible idea. I like dominant monsters lol
I see... actually I kinda like him, he came on the Halloween event and seemed sad to be the Villain, then, he came and offered a choice - but I was wary of him since the whole "I can control your friends whatever I like to get what I want" - and then he came again, to warn us about both the witch (who is sketchy as hell) and about the whole thing happening in Northcrest.
I'm just worried about hurting someone in the process because the characters are pretty lovable, y'know?
Yeah, it happens when the cast of characters is wholesome :P. This is not my 1st game where I fell in love with ficitional characters when possible, so yup been there, done that <3. Enjoy it! ^_^
For the first question, since we can get his 3rd heart, I think there would be a new event with him in a future which require you to have 3 hearts with him.
Logan, absolutely. he is prolly one of the top 3 characters for everybody in the fandom. no way Hyao would just cut us off from him lol.
Nameless though...... it's a lot more complicated. it has POTENTIAL to fuck things up, but thats all stuff that has yet to be added. in all honesty it might never come to that and Hyao might make it so Nameless leaves all other people we like alone if we serve him, or Hyao might make things very bad very quick with some people. we won't know until after it's added so... it's a massive maybe.
this also is understandable originally, I just wanted something to jack off with but then I actually played the game and now cannot get over how good this game is in story and gameplay. the porn is only a benefit at this rate for me XD
That's exactly how I feel! It's a wholesome rpg with mature parts and characters so well-written that even without any mission to play (I'm sticking to my decision to not play the whole Invasion to Northcrest thing again without a clear way to enter the abandoned mansion simply because it must be a way to save Gunnar) I still keep playing for the characters and gameplay overall.
I'm avoiding the furry island for now because there's nothing to do and Sabal gets me confused with his talking, and I'm not sure, but I guess there's a way to avoid any bad endings in Northcrest involving Lady Tess. Alden said he would try to schedule a meeting. And I refuse to be stuck in that camp without seeing Bernard or Logan anytime soon.
But that's just me and my wishful thinkingI played Dragon Age Inquisition a long ass time ago and I think LD could be comparable to it. just if we actually saw dick in dragon age and got to get "visuals" for the "Romantic" scenes other than basic suggestive imagery (still love the game and not complaining about that btw Iron Bull is one of my personal favorite characters ever lmao). the writing is just as good and, in my opinion, could be potentially better. the fighting system is also very fun, and the art style is amazing! (Zoroj and Narram do amazing on sprite work and Gavel does great with the amazing backgrounds and Civ with the beautiful music!) and fair on the avoiding it since not avoiding it leads to being stuck in the camp and.... Gunnar...
I understand this too but I think that the reason it's not much to do though is because Hyao is working on Northcrest atm. I have a feeling the next few updates will all be directed at Northcrest/where MC is now because Hyao has more to tell us and he couldn't release it all right away. Sabal too, he confuses me as well but he's hot and apparently, he has a tribe full of his people so like... keeping as high of like as I can for now lol. however, what do you mean by a way to avoid bad endings via lady Tess? I think that the meeting Alden speaks of is going to require the event be done and it becomes it's own separate thing/event.
with Bernard and Logan btw, fair. all I got is fair. they too Hot to ignore.
wishful thinking though, nothing wrong with it. gotta have high hopes else we don't really got much now a days. nothing is set in stone so for all we know Gunnar might just show up out of thin air and the event was a ruse by Hyao to make us sad to see how we would react to character deaths. which if true I don't know how I would feel about that.
Yeah, this game is really good. Everything is seriously well-built and written. The soundtrack is perfect. The characters are amazing.
I don't actually know, but it would be nice if helping Lady Tess investigation on the missing family leads us to the key of that freaking door, and if it does, it could save the party while also giving us time and whatnot. Dunno, but I think the investigation is somewhat related to almost everything that's happening on Northcrest. Including this
feelsevent.Truth be told, both Bernard and Logan hold my heart. They're so lovely it hurts. (Rhot is quite cute too, as Caleb, but these two... ♡)
You're talking about having high hopes... dearest, my anxiety
hyperphantasiais creating lots of stories about this game, some heartbreaking, others fluffliest than the whole pack. Whatever happens, I just hope for the best outcome among the options we'll receive~glad you agree on the game being well made!
this actually is possible, Hyao hasn't even changed anything major on big events on these by making an optional path come earlier, but maybe Hyao will this time? also, I'm gonna agree on the investigation pertaining to literally everything we just learned, maybe Lady Tess will know/used to know the people who are now shapeshifters personally and already be suspicious of them because they changed after they became shapeshifters, making her side with us and give us more access to Northcrest?
love how they were introduced in the beginning, and everyone STILL understands they are top tier husbands. even if one of them refuses to accept his feelings until.... a long ass time later lol. (Rhot is adorable too, love how he tries to be cold and cool, but his tail is like "BESTIE" and just always wraps around MC's leg lol. Caleb is also just the biggest goofball of all so like.. insane extra points there. but Logan and Bernard are literally perfect examples of the two types people like the most, Quiet and mean until you bond becoming incredibly affectionate and slightly possessive, and literally just a teddy bear who gets more teddy bear the more you know him. everyone can tell who is who there lol.)
I don't know almost anything other than what google said about hyperphantasia, but I hope it's not annoying or difficult for you to deal with. tbf the best we got right now is hopes and dreams for what's coming, specifically involving potential rescuing of someone or changing his fate via manipulation/effort from either us, or old friends.
Yes!!! Another Iron Bull fan :D <3 hahahaha However I am still angry at Bioware cause I wanted to romance Garrus Valkarian as a man, and Bioware wont let me do it ¬¬... hahaha.
I am currently playing MEAndromeda and Jaal is one charming alien... the only problem is my pathfinder looks like shite xD. I´ve been unable to make a handsome man. Male inquisitors on the other hand were incredible *_*
how do i transfer all the game files to another computer if im getting a new one and dont want to restaet all my progresss
You can copies all your game folder to your new computer and play it just like you have been. A game folder could be a folder name 'game' which contains a folder name 'save' so you can play it with your save files.
but how do i trancefure it though
For me, I transfer a whole game folder to some online storage like Google drive. Then, download it back to a new PC.
cant believe I got heartbroken playing a gay sex game
and with the nastiest character too
Hyao finally reveals his evil side.
We need moar devs like Hyao who knows what we like... xD.
Indeed!
I just wanna say... F*ck you Nameless bald Cthulhu. How dare you break the fourth wall and ruin my save? It was merely curiousity that made me chose those options. I let my intrusive thoughts win. And I hate you for that
lol
Not everybody can appreciate Nameless´ glory <3
How do we proceed with Lizard's Treasure event? I'm at the point where I have to accompany the lizards to the human village and it told me to speak to Roushk when I'm ready. Except the option didn't come out when I talked to Roushk. Am I missing something here? I can't get other events going since I haven't completed this particular event. And also, how do we obtain the Nameless event?
If I remember correctly, I think you need to ask him during daytime on Mon - Fri.
Edit: you also need to finish a quest name 'hunting contest' or something like that.
