discussion How Often Do You Choose the Non-Harem Ending

[jabamz]

Never. Gotta get all the scenes.

 

[Johngawn61]

I rarely replay these games, so harem for the most scenes and variety every single time.

 

[SPECTRO]

Always harem

 

[Kal2628]

Harem
Harem
Harem

No other choice matters

If the non-harem route is unique or deviates significantly from the harem route I take those too. But generally the harem route seems to be the canon or preferred route, so I typically take that first unless the game indicates that the non-harem route is the canon route (or the most developed route). But most games seem to make the harem route the default/canon route and anything else is just cut down from the harem route, so if it's like that I won't bother with the other routes.

 

[Berzz]

usually as a second choice after selecting the harem route

 

[boserwolf]

Always harem. Now for Parental love, I had to do a replay for The Forbidden One patch.

 

[Akiry]

why would you play a game with harem content and not pick the harem ending? makes no sense to me

 

[Bruk_Thorps]

I never thought of not choosing it as a viable option

Harem all the way

 

[bdogvn25]

If given choices I always choose the path with the most girls. It's just more fun.

 

[Reptile063]

100% harem all the way.

 

[RawDawg]

depends on how many of the LI I find attractive. Usually go for harem once though

 

[elcapy99]

harem because I want to see if there is some girl/girl action

 

[MrJay]

Harem ending, 100% of the time. If the harem ending doesn't include all the LIs, I will very likely drop the game as soon as I find out. I hate when developers do that.

 

[ingenkata]

Never ever. Sometimes games have not harem endings. Makes me unhappy...

 

[Gipertah]

Only if the is no other options

How Often Do You Choose the Non-Harem Ending​

Rarely. A game has to be really ticking my boxes to play it without a harem ending.

 

[jabax69]

Almost never, unless I really like one character

 

[Jakeisone123]

I choose harem first every time but sometimes i see what other ends are about

 

[fallenknight0]

Harem is typically my first playthrough target, but most of the time, I know who my target would have been if there was no harem ending. My best example would be Acting Lessons, up until the big event, I'd have definitely taken a throuple ending, but I was very satisfied with the girl I chose in the end.

The thing that bothers me with harem endings is when it's an excuse to render an orgy scene and then just show highlights of all the girls solo endings without getting the full endings for them. If you're creating a harem route, have a proper harem ending that is at least mostly unique to that scenario. You couldn't go adventuring in the jungle with girl A, help girl B start her singing career as her full time manager, start a company with girl C, and still raise your new kid with your stepmom back at home, then all get back together for a final orgy 3 weeks later. Just makes me roll my eyes and not save the game to my "go back to play again" folder.
