Man this game is really so fun. Thanks for all the helpful replies all, and than you Deimus in particular - it is so great to see such an active developer interacting with the community so regularly and promptly to aid us. I've learned a lot just reading some of these comments from the past few days already.
BTW the music in the coconut palm tree beach battle area slaps hard!
Another question for you all: is it better to try to keep lewdness low or get it up higher sooner?
On my first save (I stopped around low lvl 20's) Celica's lewdness had already gotten to 50+, on my second playthrough (now lvl 27) I've managed to keep her lewdness at only 16 so far.
It is such a fun combination of mechanics to me. While trying to level skills from accessories you get more skill exp if you allow monsters to have their way with our heroine... but if you let it go too far it becomes harder for her to resist (willpower lowers as lust rises) and then if she climaxes you gain a permanent point of lewdness! And with higher levels of lewdness her lust doesn't come down as much each turn/as time passes. So since lust doesn't come back down as fast, it makes resisting enemies in battle more difficult [or are they really enemies? :P ;) ].
So if you want the lewdness/don't mind it and want to power level accessory skills faster, it is fine to let her do that, but if you're trying to not build her lewdness then it is a disaster! It is brilliant stuff!
So this is why I was wondering if it is better to keep her lewdness points down, as maybe there will be boss fights/monster fights later on where being able to manage her lust level will be more important
So as her lewdness increases, I'm assuming more spicy encounters with the other characters or monsters can happen? For example, Celica just got given the dildo from Nel a short while ago, but when I try to get Celica to use it, she refuses, even in her own home (at lewdness 14 or 16 or so).
Do you guys and girls like to play more lewdly or in a more chaste way?
Especially early on, I'm guessing late game everyone will be maxing it just to find all the content probably?
