Loren The Amazon Princess 2 Title Revealed!

[Snowy Tale]

For any of you who don't follow the Winter Wolves Tumblr I thought I would just post this here.

After picking up Loren on steam and playing it, I was instantly a fan. There was just something I love about the story, art style and especially the characters' dialogue. I can now not wait for the sequel and Season Of The Wolf. Well done and good luck on your current projects, Winter Wolves.

This is a double post but I have a couple of questions after hearing more about the sequel and I don't feel it works as well if I edit them in to the other post.

Minor question but are none of the party members dwarves this time around? Just seems unusual when all these new species/races of new party members seem to be showing up and most of the old ones are coming back but no dorfs.
Also another minor question but has Myrth started wearing clothes? She seemed to have a distaste for the idea in party dialogue in the first game and seemed to be doing fine with her tightly gathered leaves & vines, just seems rather odd.

More importantly, you play as Saren or Elenor but you apparently choose your class from Warrior/Rogue/Mage/Healer, is there no longer double classes?
And what happens if you don't choose healer? In the first game the PC's healing abilities were fairly plot relevent, is there some reason they would lose them going into the sequel?

Well judging from this post http://winterwolvesgames.tumblr.com/post/58713318784/myrth-new-look-for-lorenrpg2-the-walking-bush#notes I asume her clothes are what you see if you have suggestive content turned off.

Ramas and Dora are going to appear in Loren 2, dq_1777. The picture linked to earlier in this thread was just for the planned romances in game.

Mostly from the Winter Wolves site. I found this bit about the Healing class/abilities. Of course, this certainly can change as work on the game progresses. It looks like Elenor/Saren will retain some basic healing abilities, but the best healing abilities (as well as other Healer oriented talents) will require the Healer class.

No Dwarf romance? Sad day. I really adored Dora and was sad she was railroaded into a romance with Ramas.

Ramas and Dora were cute. And really not everyone is going to be convieniantly into you, some people have their own preferences.

That seems silly since her new leaf outfit appears extremely tame, nothing suggestive about it in the slightest.
Would it least have a justification in the plot for why she started wearing normal clothing?

It felt forced to me, and you can't really use the everyone isn't into you thing when nearly everyone is romanceable but the old guy and the guy dedicated to living as a monk.

[dq_177]

Thats not actually true at all though, there's a bunch of characters in 1 that wouldn't be into you no matter how much you pursued them depending on which character you were playing.
Because guess what your gender is another preference that might not have appealed to them.

[N-Sign]

I meant overall, pretty much everyone is romanceable with the right options. The only ones who you can't being the two dwarves, an old guy, a monk who is dedicated to slaying evil, and a hellhound.

That makes me wonder. How many romances between dwarf & human do we see nowadays in games ?

Now that you mention it I can't actually think of any... Dragon Age does not have one, The Witcher does not even have one, not even as one of the one time sex events.

Yeah there were no romances with dwarf NPCs in Dragon Age: Origins, though couldn't you have a dwarf/non-dwarf romance in it if you played a dwarf PC?

You could but no NPC Dwarf was romancable.

I think I kind of understand why are there no dwarf X human romance.
For example, imagine you are looking at a beauiful female dwarf (E.g. Dora) X muscular human love scene, you might think it's alright but the censorship do not see it that way.
To them, it's like supporting pedophiles.

[Dorok]

Except there's dwarf X human romances in DAO, just create a dwarf character and there's many.

But I agree the case of Dora is ambiguous because the graphic reuse many JRPG cliché of girl/young teen JRPG characters and even if overall there isn't a real ambiguity on this ie she is an adult even if young adult, some elements of dialogs let the feeling of a rather young personality.

EDIT: But you probably also pinpoint why so many RPG had troubles to include female dwarves.

Look at a lot of anime - even the humans- the females that are 'women', their faces look like kids, but they have a bustline larger than Dolly Parton's. (referencing the comment about pedos and young female character's appearances). I was posting on one of my screenshots that at least in this game, the females actually look like women, and not girls. I assume this issue may be one reason why some of the j-rpg/anime/whatever (not my thing) has problems getting into different countries. One of the things that held me up about getting this game initially was I was worried it was 'anime' (some call this anime, others say it's not, I'm no anime expert so I don't know what category it falls in). I was happy I got this game though, and am enjoying the dlc thusfar. I plan to get the 2nd when it comes out.
