The Daily Life of Pan Hero

Okay, let’s try this more calmly.
See, it irks me severely – as it will a GREAT many other people, mind; when someone invests in their game, the option to TRAIN & GRIND for attribute points, to the point of inventing a (currently useless as nothing is available yet) skill tree for each attribute… and then DOES NOT ACTUALLY LET THE PLAYER CHOOSE TO ENGAGE WITH THAT SYSTEM. AT ALL!
> You need to let the PLAYER choose WHEN to start ALL ofthe fucking main story quests dude.
= Let the PLAYER choose NOT JUST what starting fucking attribute they want; since you pull skill checks as soon as they get to the main town – you NEED to let the player CHOOSE to TRAIN the fucking stats! To DECIDE whether or not we WANT to be able to pass them all, for fuck sake – BEFORE we start any bloody quests in the main quest line. Or if we want to “Wing It” and take the consequences of failure as they come.
> If I choose to pass 666 days in game training all the stats to the Max level so I never fail a cutscene or skill check or what have you – that’s MY choice. My work invested; my care for your story. If I DON’T = at least I’ll have fucked up on my own merits. Also – there was no reason to go out of your way to state he’s a brainiac and then start him at ZERO fucking intelligence. Just so he fails the skill checks if the player chooses say CHARISMA (WHICH IS MUCH MORE USEFUL FOR GETTING THE GIRL’S LOVE STATS!) If he was that inclined to read and learn – and factually had a translator job before hand, he’s NOT going to drop IQ points just because you say so, in like 3 fucking months because (you were a dumbass that decided to invent an NTR situation with an “ex” girlfriend that doesn’t need to be there – and then joke meta about “fuck NTR! No. I’m NOT letting go of that… >.< You said it. You wrote this bitch of a character that didn’t need to break up with MC. In. A. HAREM! Game. Your audience GETS the right to call you out for being a dumbass there) Erica leaves him. That makes no sense.
You have 6 stats – and only five are actually trainable (Reputation will likely be earned through work for the Adventurer’s Guild – so that’s fine) and yet you in your “infinite wisdom” decided to implement SKILL CHECKS: Before we could fucking train them to even the first bloody bar. You have SET. THE PLAYER. UP. TO FAIL… For NO GOOD REASON! [Possibly because your sense of humor needs a hell of a lot of work]
And fuck the title my friend = Give. The HERO the fucking clawed gauntlets; the beast woman BITCH (IE: Having her ASSAULT MC for NO GOOD REASON is NOT a good way to start any sort of “romance” arc Dev… and I wish you guys would stop fucking doing that. It’s NOT HUMOR. It happens a HELL OF A LOT more often in REAL LIFE than anyone wants to admit. If it’s NOT okay when a guy does it to a girl; what makes you think it IS okay when a girl does it to a guy?!? What, because she has a pussy = he automatically forgives ANYTHING, because she MIGHT let him fuck her before he dies?) has ACTUAL CLAWS (that’s the point of a cat-girl… Jesus) It would legitimately differentiate in a COOL FACTOR vein, your Hero from most other Anime Sword & Board morons. You wouldn’t necessarily need the bullshit “Demon Berserk Button” mode (and if you’re going to say “Fuck NTR!” EVEN as a Joke; do NOT pull it again with the fucking Princess and the fat rich bastard that you’re all but SIGNPOSTING will be the BULLSHIT troupe of the forced arranged marriage that the MC has to break up that’s in WAY too many fucking Harem Anime for no reason but to rage bait the bloody audience!!!) if you gave him something OTHER than a goddamned Pan! [I actually thought it was a cheeky nod to a bullshit “orientation” that doesn’t actually exist – because Bi covers the lot]
He’s an adventurer. NOT a chef… >.< and yes, for those that may care, this IS me being calm. It’s also about as generous to the Dev/Writer(s) as I’m willing to be.
The game is not unsalvageable. Any game that goes this far to create investible actual CHARACTERS AND a fucking attribute/skill tree set up to make it a genuine RPG, has real potential. It’s just not implemented properly, and you NEED to take the fucking MAIN CHARACTER the MOST seriously. Regardless of wit (half or not) in title. Because he is the DRIVING FORCE of your damned story! There is NO story without him. Even in Harem Anime half of the reason most people hate it as much as they do, is the author NEVER takes the MC seriously, or rarely will. It’s almost always some bland dumbass that can’t do shit for himself; that the girls inexplicably fawn over, or abuse – until his insistence to help any girl who needs it makes them feel guilty enough to pity fuck him until THEY fall in love… at which point he rejects their attempt to “win him” in order to form the harem. Because he doesn’t freaking TRUST them, for GOOD reason!
Which is also the reason Erica ISN’T necessary as a character and SHOULD either be a VIRGIN if the player chose “I am a Virgin” in that dumbassed cock-blocking dream sequence – or should be explicitly single, non-sexual, yet and WILLING to admit she fucked up into ETERNITY to win MC back when you decide to (randomly I’d bet on it) reintroduce her. You didn’t put her as the FIRST fucking girl in the game to make her a goddamned SIDE character, mate. You don’t need to be that level of arse to your audience. People can fuck up; no one said she was particularly skilled as a mage – so she could be more dense than she let on, and let her jealousy about assumptions with Kay fuck her over. Or maybe she saw more raw potential in MC and didn’t want to drag him down = so she sabotaged her one shot and KNOWS it. There are ways you can work with the fuck up you made, and create a compelling story arc. She’s not YET unsalvageable. Unless you do and or did already put her with someone else, just to make her seem “hard to get.” THAT… does NOT make her “more valuable.” To most harem fans that makes her objectively far less desirable. Unnecessarily. In closing, Fix it so that the skill checks ONLY start when the player has been given the opportunity to start training EVERY damned stat; and take out the bullshit “loss” of points. Then maybe that Impregnation stat might be something that happens before I die in real life, or freeze my nuts off trying to get the right to see those scenes…
Also – why did the red witch mention Liz at all? You did nothing with that – AFTER mentioning the princess had fuck all magic power and life magic (Life magic means she’s the party HEALER and should be required to have THE MOST magic… Also, Please JESUS: Do NOT dare to make Marie the LAST fucking attainable girl on the list, BECAUSE she’s the princess… That is just you being an asshat. You made your point that MC doesn’t see it happening – Marie clearly wants NOTHING to do with Bulbasaur moneybags, and it’s HER choice whether she marries anyone or not – Even in those days, which is usually why they were trained young to be as submissive to their king as possible, so they’d go along with it in guilt tripping. She CAN choose to be disinherited, so she DOESN’T need to be locked off for 90% of the damned game – or NTR bait!) I would have had red girl hint (potentially as her IN with the MC…) that Liz has INSANE amount of magical ability. [IE: Her social awkwardness is about her FIGHTING for control, constantly – and she genuinely is afraid to hurt any/everyone with her magic – rather than some autism/aspergers nod directly * It can still be that; but it would have a better reasoning] Ergo she could offer to train Liz (and the Hero…) in magics. In his case – Privately. ; ) She doesn’t HAVE to be a villain. She can be a lover/rival and a person to push him in competitions (which might be why you NEED Intelligence…) magically. It’s up to you whether you use any of this. Frankly I’m used to none of you listening to me. You’ve got a VERY ambitious project, and there are many ways you’ve angled to shoot yourselves in the foot before you even got that far out of the gate. Unnecessarily.
