Yes, having 'others' active makes it so that other characters can have taboo relations that would otherwise be unavailable. You will never be able to see 'all content' with that on over 'related' though, because there are conversations that take place between the daughter, for instance, that would otherwise make no sense if she's just a dead guard's daughter.
No worries, that makes sense.
By content I meant sex scenes.
For example in CD after you bimofy robert/bill, you cannot involve their daughters in the sex without the related code.
The problem is that you just cannot get the option at all, even though there's no real reason it should be like that (except Patreon is stupid, I know)
In contrast, in PoW, the traitors daughters turn into his concubines (in the lab) without the related code. Which is fine cause you don't miss anything.
Similarly missing conversations is fine as long as it doesn't deprive you of fucking the girl.
You could also add alternative conversation/dialogue that only make sense for a dead guards daughter but not a real daughter (eg: "you're my father, how could you” vs "my father sacrificed his life for you, trusting you to look after me, how could you")
As long as a huge chunk of scenes aren't cut like in CD, adjustments made to keep the story coherent is a good thing. I'd much prefer this over half-assed landlady patches you see in other games
That's part of the reason I didn't originally include the 'others' option for the legislation, because it was mainly written as a path for the player to have an important talk with that character. After someone pointed out that the entire proposal was unavailable on the 'others' track, though, I went back and added some support for it.
I see. Like I said, it makes sense. I also felt it didn't make sense for the mc to propose that law if he didn't have a big interest in doing so, which isn't really the case with 'others' since the mc has no incestuous options.
Thanks for adding the support. I played the old release (which was not to be reported to the mods) & the legislative option indeed felt weird with no law options in it. My initial thought was that it'd be better to not have the legislative option itself rather than have it with no laws available. Maybe only have it available as a menu option if the sub-menu isn't blank?
I'll see what support has been added, though I'll probably not pass the law in my main playthrough. If I'm not wrong, not passing it should also give interesting scenes where the sex is
more taboo (forbidden, illegal, against the rules), right?
Oh, I just understood what you meant by daughters conversation. That's fine. Some differences are to be expected, especially if it's a plot dependent on certain relationships.
I just felt weird in CD cause any self-respecting incest lover will tell you mc+wife+wife's sister is not incest, only stupid Patreon deems it so.
Not being able to see content that's
actually dependent on them being related is ofc understandable. (a pair of sisters fucking the mc
doesn't require the mc to be related to them)
Thanks for the clarification. I feel the related & others code is well done, & even missing some stuff like the daughters conversation is a good thing since it means the story setting (real daughter vs dead guards daughter adopted) is respected, unlike other half-assed games. Good job
Yeah, the next law change coming up will be for polygamy, and then after that I think will be making women dress sluttier. So all exciting things
Yeah, the setup for polygamy was already done with the chief of staff, been waiting with baited breath for the follow up since then. Good to know that's next.
For the women's dress tho, maybe instead of just a one directional slut dress code, maybe we could have an option for a stricter conservative/religious dress code?
This thought is a combination of the secretary's conservative dress option & the wife's religious background. Since the secretary's conservative storyline also mentioned the Hand, I'm thinking it would fit well with their storyline.
I'm just speculating, so maybe I'm wrong. But the polygamy, women's dress code, pregnancy, birth control, women's right laws could have an interaction with the Hand to go in a religious/conservative direction, going in the opposite direction of the confident slut idolisation.
Be even more fun if the religious background wife leads the charge for decreasing women's rights in accordance with her religious teachings
Okay these law speculations are giving me free cities flashbacks, so I'll stop here.
Waiting for the next release is going to be so hard.
Thanks again for this awesome game.
