Maybe Karen can be opened up as a BxG in Loren 3 or in a future Loren 2 DLC. It's not like she isn't attracted to men...

BTW, there's a well written MILF romance available to both genders in CoG's Double/Cross:

The exact age of this elegant MILF named Rebecca is left vague , while your character's exact age is up to you. Nevertheless she is said to be "middle-aged" and in her "autumn years" while her son who you work for is 10 years older than your character. For that and reasons I can't get into without dropping spoilers I'd put her at around 30 years older than your character, which makes it quite different from the usual.

I'll also agree that if there is one epilogue in Loren I don't want changed, it's the Saren-Loren epi. IMHO theirs is the best epi in the game.

if possible I would prefer if that wouldn't happen. Except for chalassa, many of the lesbian options have been pretty guy crazy, but even so its nice to have the option. it doesn't quite mean as much having an option have that feature if its not there later. Michelle and Karen are definitely Bi but having them be the option for lesbians the entire series means more.

I guess I am not making that much sense, but if she were to be an option later it would have been nice if it had started that way. Draco, myrth, and Rei being exclusive options through out kinda means more to the romance at times and its nice to have Karen be that too.

To me it's all about the story, and the characters being true to themselves. Michelle and Karen have very different personalities. With Michelle there's a feeling that while she may like men, she either prefers women more, or finds them more in sync with the life she wishes to lead. Either way it was a mature decision on her part. She reminds me a bit of all the high profile men who have left their wives for a man once they came to the realization that they preferred men. Except in her case the shoe was on the other foot.

With Karen on the other hand, there's a feeling that she's gone back into the closet when it comes to liking men, because she's ashamed, and that's just plain wrong. Think about it. Her culture teaches that men are slaves fit for breeding but not committed long term relationships. Yet she loved a man so much she was willing to turn her back not just on her power, but also her people, and even her family, to be with him. Then when he died in a terrible event she tries to kill herself, but being prevented from that, she returns in shame, and goes back into the closet, becoming a good amazon once more. "And then she went back into the closet forever" doesn't sit well with me as a place to end her development in those stories where you play Saren. I don't think denying her true self will be any easier for her than it is for a gay man or woman today...

And for the curious, introducing Charlotte's daughter, Alicia, on the route. And yes, Charlotte is a GxG route.

This is why when the discussion rose up about children and same-sex couples, I said there was no issue. Heh, if one took Planet Stronghold as an example, if Prince Cliff and Joshua stayed together, they would have to continue the royal line somehow ;)

I humbly request a thorough elaboration and detailed plans...
Don't get any ideas :oops:

I know its off-topic but I really need to know. Is there any way to catch the kidnapper?

even in PSCD there are pets! Beside Remi, here's a Yalangur. That avian-pterodactyl like alien :mrgreen: It's a miniature one, real ones are much bigger than that (and you'll meet them on the battlefield).

I love the background. I was unexpected, considering I was used to seeing deserts from the PS1.

This is a background originally used in Roommates. In the context of the picture, the human colony has some areas which remind them of Earth, especially if they are domed.

There are definitely other climates on Stronghold, but it is an arid planet, so deserts are definitely the most common.

deck builder screen mockup :) the symbols on top are the heroes. I will try with symbols (Diana=tiger, Charlotte=rose, etc) and if it's not very clear will revert back to portraits. Artist sadly cannot work faster than this, but can't complain about the results so far!
