Question: Is it possible to meet the requirements for both the love and corruption route for love interests and then chose via dialog options which route to take?
Context: I tried testing to see if I could get Imawyn's affection and corruption high enough to satisfy the conditions mentioned in the online guide for her time in jail (affection >5 and corruption >10). I alternated between wine and cumwine starting with normal wine. I noticed that both stats locked at 9 and wouldn't budge further until I progressed the quest.
Note: For those that may be wondering why I did this. To put it simply I was just curious, and wanted to see what would happen.
From my understanding love and corruptions routes usually trigger because of different things during the LI's questline.
For instance with Imawyn depending on if she has low corruption or not before going back to camp she will be on love or corruption route I think 5 corruption or more is the break point but never tested.
With Julia on the other hand she is always on the corruption route by default but upon marrying her at any point at the moment you get two chances, she transfers to the love route instead.
Most of the LI have a point where you go onto the love or corruption route depending on your previous choices or a given choice, usually confirming a relationship or that the MC loves them goes love route while not goes corruption.
So far there are very few chances to switch routes and like with Julia so far it's more of a one time thing.
Overall each LI has a "default" route Imawyn having love and Julia having corruption they can then switch to another route depending on your choices or actions. At least this is how I understand it since Imawyn will always be love route unless you raise her corruption above a point while Julia is corruption route unless you marry her.
Most LI are by default on the love route I believe with some exceptions being on corruption route. Since they want or have a relationship with the MC in for instance Julia's case she's been raised to be a servant/slave so she will for instance mention that even though the MC has started dating her and she saw him sleep with Yasmine infront of her and that Yasmine ordered her to sleep with the MC she accepts her place since thats how she was raised. So she is already a sort of "sex slave" that is being controlled so she's by default on corruption and only by marrying her does her status and wishes change. Of course this might change in the future.
