But the point is not that in my opinion… We aren’t give a choice or something for looking as a badass Ultra god… We are forced to looking lame or worse than the rest… Aeson receives a VIP TREATMENT FANCY CLOTHES FANCY WEAPONRY AND A FANCY DISPLAY.
What we receive
Simple clothes basic like from a Charity church no jewellery, no make up or fancy stuff like other girls or boys. In fact we are let blind about the ritual on purpose to look like a stupid fool. Gods are really worried about destroying our public image severely. In fact no way any of my allure girls will go willingly to that ceremony without knowing the protocol and dressing like a waitress… I am the fucking mistress of universe Why I have to wear like a peasant and no jewellery or even comb my hair. …
Not always, but I do tend towards it when playing teenage protagonists, yes. Now a healthy dose of paranoia on the other hand…
Well first impression was at the summons so…
Besides my mc could care less about attending some ceremony with people he doesn’t really like.
She could at least have taken the mc outfit shopping in that case, if she cared about it that much, instead of throwing whatever old things she could scrounge up on our bed and telling us “Choose”.
Right now I just want to throw those two abominable outfits into the fire and watch them burn as that would give my mc far more warmth and satisfaction than actually wearing any of them.
Compared to the others they still make us look like badly under-dressed nobody’s at the ball, but than again that’s exactly what they’re meant to do isn’t it? Very much like the other outfits they oh so “generously” deign to provide us.
So, yes, as far my mc is concerned those old rags are only fit for scarecrows or as fuel for the fire.
So far I get the perception that only we are subject to it outside of the combat classes though.
That’s the whole point we don’t get to choose our “casual” clothing whereas the others clearly do. They again just dumped some old things likely scrounged up from who knows where in our room and that’s it.
Hey! Ancient Greek and Roman fashion had lots of (subtly) different styles and then, more than now, it would have been all about the jewelry and accessories you chose too, of which we haven’t got any.
For once I totally agree with you Mara, our options are lame and plainly suck compared to everyone else. Seems they really want us to stand out as the poor “charity case” scholarship student.
At this point I’m sorely tempted to go and see if granddaddy Chronus is willing to offer us a better deal. They want me to fight in their stupid war, fine, though the way things are going it likely won’t be on their side.
Eh, I guess i never really bothered about fashion that much lol.[quote=“idonotlikeusernames, post:5271, topic:15482”]

Woah woah woah, slow down. This could actually be the perfect time for the MC to get another shot at buying the Eye of Aletheia from the marketplace if they chose not to after Aeson’s entrance. @Rohie, could this be a thing?
Exactly first Chipmunk as a room mate in the worst room wver
Second no let me choose Class. We are the damn Master of universe, choosen one I think they could let me a spot in my favourite classes…
Second clothes and weapons no options in duel or anything they want our downfall in a un subtle way… really obvious.
Aeson mythical entrance like MASTER OF UNIVERSE if they wanted make us look cool They were presented us To Aeson DRESSED IN GOLD WITH A GODLY HALO IN A FUCKING APOLLO CHARIOT… Not hiding us Cinderella style…
All those show my point THEY DON’T WANT US JUST USE US LIKE A WEAPON AND THEN JAILED US FOREVER
Yep, the other side seems more and more attractive by the second. So Grandpa crash the ball and make me an offer, any decent offer and my mc would likely say “Yes ! Let’s destroy the world together”.
Honestly we do seem to have more in common with that old Titan than any of the gods as they are seemingly out to imprison us both for eternity. Well, no more, Freedom! I’d say.
To be fair, our MC’s entrance wasn’t like that since they just went through an Essence-induced seizure and had to be rushed to the ER whereas Aeson was coming back from a quest
I’m sure we’ll have the chance to make an epic entrance in the future
Yeah, well they sure don’t give my mc any reason to care about the damned future so far. At this point I’d say screw the future, unless that future is with the other side.
In any case it won’t be half as epic as Aeson’s I’ll bet.
If it’s gonna be a choice between him and the dolts who want to imprison us for all eternity then I say he deserves a second chance, as he is gradually beginning to seem to be more and more the “lesser evil” here.
Maybe he’ll at least give us some actual training, preparation and better gear before using us a weapon.
You know the whole I like to get kissed before I get screwed deal.
Nah, if they try to fuck with me, I’ll just zap them into a pony for a few centuries and then go back to reading magazines while sipping tea at the side of my own personal beach resort.
Except the mc doesn’t have the training to actually do that at the moment, Aeson does of course, infinite power and not a clue how to actually use it. Furthermore it seems like their whole sham of a “school” is designed to keep us as dumb and ignorant of that as possible.
I’m the master of the universe, when I win the trials I do whatever the hell I want. It’ll be like a muscle, the more you use it the better it is for you. I’ll start by trying to create lesser life forms, aka humans and work my way up to dogs.
I do share @idonotlikeusernames and @poison_mara’s sentiments on this point. I would very much like more opportunities to stand out in a positive sense and assert myself as the fearsome and badass mistress of the universe than I am, rather that a confused teen who’s in over her head (which I also am, but I’d rather not show it).
However, while I would very much love to be able to arrive at the ceremony wearing a long black robe soaked in blood over a form-fitting leather armor covered in spikes and skulls, I understand that @Rohie probably have better things to do than coding in 27 different outfit choices to cater to all of our tastes.
You wouldn’t?
I can envision my MC standing there on the eve before the war, judging as the trinity and Cronus takes turns showcasing her wardrobe options while she makes up her mind which side she’ll be fighting on.
Exactly We are the Team Respect us Zeus… Like the Aretha Franklin song . I mean if I really want have X person by my side I starting give him her they presents and treatment as a Vip. OH THE PRODIGAL SON STOLEN FROM US HAS ARRIVED HAIL OUR GENERAL!!! not treatment like shit or like an horse thief about to be hanged… My mc has been pushed in all directions , without choice and without a single sympathy smile and explanation. It is Welcome to the jungle you are about to die Like in the guns and roses song.
True, though that could be solved by having us type it in ourselves and basing the other people’s reactions more on the style than on the specifics. Say, casual, sexy, intimidating, formal, etc. Or just letting us pick a style and not mentioning the specifics, I suppose. Freak Amid the Neon Lights seems poised to go that route in letting to mc just choose their own style and giving a general overview of what sorts of clothes actually comprise said style. That way you can reference it without having to detail every possible outfit and it still give the mc a wide range of choices.
Monsters of New Haven High also does this. I just choose sexy, the game reacts to that and the exact detail’s of my Incubus’s outfits are up to my dirty mind.
yeah, it doesn’t have to be a big detailed list just a general style like other games have done. And of course take account our stats in allure. But I really think @Rohie did this on purpose to show how bad gods treat us a subtle way to remember it is not all ponies and rainbows and we are just a little pawn for them
