** Are audience suggestions absolute commands that Katia must follow unquestionably, or are they mere suggestions and encouragement that she may or may not accept? Kazerad's past use of the audience's input strongly suggests the latter.

** Are audience suggestions absolute commands that Katia must follow unquestionably, or are they mere suggestions and encouragement that she may or may not accept? Kazerad's past use of the audience's input strongly suggests the latter. The arguments only heat up when it becomes clear that prompts are mostly only used to make her situation worse.


Added DiffLines:

** It's been noted by fans that the sheer mundanity of Katia's errand in Kvatch doesn't help matters either. She's most likely not the Champion of Cyrodiil, so the fact that her "adventures" so far consist of failing to deliver a package and getting fucked over multiple times during such a simple errand can make it hard to maintain interest. Incompetence can only be charming for so long.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: One of the people encountered during Katia's travel is a recruiter for the Dark Brotherhood, an Assassin cult. As time has gone on, more than a few fans have wondered if the story would've turned out better if she had went with the man and joined the Brotherhood instead of playing it safe with the Mages guild and carrying on with her delivery.

** Extends to the story as a whole, as Katia has been in Kvatch for about ~5 years and is no closer to finishing her delivery and doing something else. The constant schedule slips have been very hard on fans of the comic.

* GeniusBonus: Many of the jokes become even funnier if you've played ''Oblivion'' and get the references. For example, there really is a general goods store with the signpost [[http://tinyurl.com/oymerka "Lelles' Quality Mercandise"]].

* PopularWithFurries: It's to be expected, as a webcomic starring a cat woman.

* MoralEventHorizon: Gro-Upp at first seems AffablyEvil at worst, or even a sort of cheerfully amoral PunchClockVillain. Then he slaughters Dmitri for mentioning a NoodleIncident. As bad as that already seems (Dmitri was probably an AntiVillain at the ''worst''), it seems far worse from a reader perspective of denying Katia another potential friend and mentor.
** Sigrid tricking Katia, taking all of her belongings, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking denying her ice cream.]]

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy:
** Katia's constant losses and fall-backs have lead readers to stop following the series, unsatisfied with the slow progress of the story. The ones who stick around to voice their objections end up derided by more loyal and/or sadistic readers for whining that the story hasn't gone exactly the way they'd hoped and cluttering the command submission thread with unhelpful complaints.
** Katia: Infiltrate. Some people say that an easy flash game that wasn't really the stealth game promised and [[spoiler:ends extremely abruptly as Katia is caught in a trap]] is ''not'' the comeback people were hoping for after two years, while some people simply choose to appreciate the amazing visuals packed in it and the fact that the comic had come out of hiatus in general.
