How rude. you knew it was coming. F/SN spoilers for the first two routes Yeah, Gilgamesh is right. Given that sex is a Thing That People Do, it's not that unnatural. It's when the people involved horribly break character, or start acting in radically different ways for the sake of a fap fantasy that it's terrible. Agree with Silvy that it's less Rin getting kinky in that first scene than it is Saber being super submissive and the whole thing being rape fantasy (oh, she says no, but secretly she wants it). Rin there is how I would EXPECT Rin to act in bed, not like in UBW where she literally just lies there, cries, bleeds, and says "Oh Shirou, don't go so hard!" where Shirou goes full Berserker. Hence why the second Fate scene and the HF scenes are the best, because they don't horribly mangle character. Likewise, Katawa Shoujo tends to be good for H-scenes because a) that's what happens in most high school relationships b) no one really breaks character and c) it shows that people with disabilities still have sex drives.

Is this actually patching realta nua? Because the realta nua patch I was referring to is a patch for the original pc version that adds the voices.

I have the voices patch and the Last Episode patch, but I didn't see this option in there... nonetheless, I do think I saw something to "disable" the H-scenes, but that's not the same as "replace them with the canon versions."

That's cause FSN is an action/modern fantasy VN with sex scenes thrown in for "good" measure whereas Katawa Shoujo is a romance VN aimed at guys with a disability fetish. @ Slash: I think she's just confident, plus if she does come across as a little arrogant she does have the brains(and brawn) to back it up so her "arrogance" doesn't bother me.

Is this actually patching realta nua? Because the realta nua patch I was referring to is a patch for the original pc version that adds the voices. This blog's original purpose was adding the RN content to mirror moon's patch for original PC version (RN CGs and music, and probably the new scenes too, or at the very least Last Episode), and once it finished with that, the next purpose was to make the patch to censor the H scenes, and add in the replacement scenes, but it looks like that's been put on hold to translate the official PC version of RN. Basically thus there's three different versions of F/SN: Original PC, the actual Realta Nua for PS2 (and eventually PC), and then this Frankenstein mashup of the two. Also I don't know why you people that have read at least UBW and especially HF and Zero are arguing with what Slash thinks of Rin, you know more about her while he just has a first impression lol

I might turn it off later in the game, once I've heard everyone's voices. I like to have a voice to go along with the characters when possible. It's mostly because I can read a lot faster than they can talk.

Crimson Leaf Vermillion Posts: 5,603 Group: Venus Clan Member #908 Joined: October 14, 2011 Gender: leaf Theme Song: http://youtu.be/wyJWmm2ymUs	Yeah, they talk pretty slowly. It's a little unnatural tbh. Especially when they sometimes have huge pauses between sentences, but no one interjects with anything. I do like that shirou is voiced, though~. Far too many VNs leave the MC unvoiced.

peytral pls Posts: 15,452 Group: Sol Clan Member #459 Joined: March 18, 2009 Gender: Miserable pile of secrets Blog: Ab Animo Pario Country: #0# True Name: Peytral Aznable	But generally MCs have internal monologue comprising most of their text. I don't think the MC would have that much more dialogue than most of the other characters in VNs.

So for a more route-based vn where the other chars would vanish for a bit, the MC does have more lines than the rest of the cast.

I already got one bad ending lol I'm finding the story kind of hard to follow. I get the basic gist of the Holy Grail War but some of it still confuses me.

Member #639 Joined: June 17, 2010 Gender: Male	Spoiler: click to toggle For one thing, they mentioned earlier that you die if you run out of command spells, but then shortly after I remember them talking as if it's possible to live without them. I don't remember the dialogue exactly, but that was the impression I got. I think it may have occured in the church. There's more, but they're eluding me at the moment.

The reason for this being that the only thing that forces a Servant to listen to their Master is the threat of those being used on them. Once all three are used, the Servant has no obligation to obey and can kill their Master if they want. But if the Master/Servant have a good relationship the Servant can choose to keep obeying their Master anyway.

There's also the threat of if you lose your servant, you're pretty much screwed if you run into another master cause they'd typically kill you on sight(depends on the master really).
