Hi JustaOneGirl,
Thank you so much letting us know about your MC! I'm glad that Samuel's comment about the MC dietary preferences was meaningful for you, as I think he's the only one who really asks the MC about this. As a very religious person himself, he's considerate of such things. I can't say it was intentional on my part tbh, but I'm glad that you felt the freedom to include this aspect of your character by your own choice.
I give a few teasing or blunt options but I don't think I bother with flat our mean or malicious options, as that would be too story breaking imo. I don't think the cast of ADW would follow and protect the MC as much as they do if the MC was an abusive tyrant. Like if the MC called them a dog, I think they'd probably leave the guild. These are all adult characters, so they are mostly mature enough to work through differences but there's a limit to when it comes to flat out disrespect. For this reason, I'm not sure that I like games that have good vs evil paths, as they are just too polarized/extreme for my tastes. I'd be making two different games, and that's a lot of work. Plus I just have a heard time writing pure evil characters as even my 'villain' characters are not so stark imo.
It's interesting that you mentioned the comments about the MC seeming calm. In my mind I picture the player sitting at a computer looking at cute sprites and dice, rather than jumping up and down shouting excitedly as someone might if they were in the midst of a life and death battle. I wasn't intended to say the MC is a stoic personality but rather they were unusual in their perception of battle. But perhaps some players are able to immerse themselves more fully than I thought. I'll try to keep that in mind. I was suprised that some people find losing harsh, even though there is not a game over penality like there is in a lot of RPGs. I hope losing doesn't feel too bad, as the companions do show some discontent but they are also accepting that battle is not always ideal. They are tenacious enough to handle the occasional defeat, so feel free to let them toughen up a bit LOL. I do have a list of randomized losing battle dialogue in every dungeon for that purpose anyway~
Again, I love your drawing of Lor with your MC reading together all cute and cozy in ADW:GD~ I hope the two can cheer each other on!
