Loved Quill's friend and would so be interested in a route for him (but maybe it would look too similar to Quill's own route). Just thought his story about choosing between surgery and citizenship was really sad and interesting. Would be an interesting exploration of intimacy looking different for different people given his physical limitations and abilities outside the realm of humans.

~~Also would be interested in him meeting the lady from Endgame's team who is... what percent cybernetic?? Hmmm suspicious of how she maintains citizenship???~~

Locke is a great character. <3 Though I don't think intimacy with him would be all that different, at least not if you're referring to what types of cybernetics he has. Aside from his arms, most of his cybernetics are internal - though he has some other external pieces down the sides of his legs/hips. I guess since you only ever see him clothed, it gives the impression that his entire body is cybernetic, but it's not. In any case it wouldn't matter that much. Lance is more cybernetic than Locke is. LoL!

I think it would be interesting to explore a story involving Locke finding Morgan instead of Quill, though. But you're right that the overall plot might end up being pretty similar. It would be the romantic development that would flow differently.

As far as Locke and Vanessa meeting - I don't think it would be that interesting. Locke knows tons of cybernetic augments like himself. I doubt he'd even pay much attention to Van if they met, honestly.

As for how she maintains citizenship - Van is just under the biosynth threshold, but it wouldn't matter. Braesil has different biosynth policies than New Albion anyway.

Ah ok! I forgot the headquarters is in a different city! I assumed that they were being hypocrites and keeping her on the team because they need her and overlooked her percentage of augment.

Locke seemed to fatigue quickly and seemed like he would be more physically challenged to do intense cardio (but there are ways to overcome this obviously and I just enjoy situations where characters talk about intimacy and thought it would be interesting/heartwarming/steamy).

I would pay for an extra route with Locke so if you see it as a possibility then go for it! I really like him too <3

Ah - that makes sense somewhat. But there are so many ways to deal with lack of stamina in intimate situations I just wasn't thinking of that as a big hurdle to get over. LoL!

As far as extra routes, I don't know that I'll want to do any more after I've finished the 9th one. Recently I was talking in my Discord server about how I think there are still a lot of stories in this setting and with the cast but I'm not sure how many more stories I can tell about Morgan specifically.

Maybe if I have another main character at some point I can consider other routes! =D

It just isn't a hurdle I see jumped very often, even though (you're right) it isn't a challenging one. I really like the variety you give intimate scenes and how you describe and have the characters talk about them. A lot of games I have played don't have the right kind pf pacing, are very one sided, give into heavy cliches, etc.

Ooooh that would be interesting! I hadn't thought about it from that perspective of wanting to tell a different side to the MC in each route, but it makes sense now that I think about it. You could also have this new MC be someone we meet in this story. Would Morgan still be having her story go on in the background though idk. I should really check Discord more often. I usually get overwhelmed with the notifications from my other groups and close it...
