I disagree, even in the supposedly "sub-cuck route" Nat still seems to be entirely ruled by Ethans wishes, with the exception of a few small choices I think. So even the Sub-cuck route and the normal cuck route are mostly the same so far, and like I said before, Ethan did initially start the cuckold discussion so it would make sense for him to like most of it.Huh? As 1 or 2 mentioned prior in this thread, I feel like nat has Too much agency relative to ethan. As the player, it seems like you can always "double check" things as nat, not so with ethan. Seems like the earlier releases actually did better at this - if you look at the walkthrough or the game's first few days, there's much emphasis put on nat and ethan being on the same page; and only 1 of them being game pretty much defines the reluctance path variants - though this goes off the rails later when it just turns into a BBCslutEMup model 3000, as these games tend to do. If anyone thinks that's too harsh of an indictment, look at the descrepency between walkthrough and in-game cuck path at swinger party with tavon.
But I think in terms of character development if it doesn't affect Nat at all, meaning she doesn't start having thoughts to expand her horizons or push Ethan into some scenarios, then it still only feels like it's Ethans ball-game. Basically all ideas and feelings are mostly from Ethans side which is driving the ship completely, like I said with a few minor exceptions.
And even if Nat gives in and embrace her lust, it's still Ethans road they are driving on until SHE starts pushing some ideas of this cuckold life-style that they have. It's mostly Ethan telling Nat what he likes, and she goes "Ahh smirk" and indulges him. It's never the other way around, so again, yes she lacks agency and her thoughts are rarely engaged. Everything is for Ethan.
