Does anyone know what the deal is with relationship types? Does Neri being "strict monogamy" mean we actually can't romance her if we are romancing anyone else? I guess there's something to be said for variety, but if that's the case it seems a bit out of place considering how the game currently is. Maybe that's the harem enjoyer in me speaking though
Not entirely sure what the restrictions are, but here's a post that was on the discord:
"With our relationships we intend to have a few directions they can follow. This will vary per character, and not every NPC will be open to every type of relationship. Some may not be interested in romance, whilst others will shun partners who want a purely physical dynamic. Some relationship dynamics will be locked behind your DSS level.
Once chosen, the relationship dynamic is permanent.
Our first potential romantic partner is
Damaris, the barmaid/owner of The Rampant Lioness, a once thriving Lybos-style taberna situated on Tal-Senet. She'll begin as a big-busted feline form (
probably Felian but this isn't 100% confirmed) female, though there will be the option for her to become a futa.
The default/canonical option available for Damaris is 'romantic', enabling dinner together, fireside lovemaking, and that style of interaction. What we want is to decide on which other dynamics you'd like to have available for our busty barmaid. Vote for as many as you like but there will be a hard-cap of three relationship types, so only one or two of the following can win with Damaris. That said these will appear for other NPCs so keep an eye out. Options in alphabetic order;
Brood-Crazed: Once she's experienced pregnancy, Damaris realises she wants nothing more than to mother your offspring. All. Of. Them. Conversations will become fixated on her desire to get pregnant or, if she's pregnant, about her growing belly and swelling breasts. She'll no longer engage in any sex act that wastes the player's seed, though she will gain pregnancy-related options such as breeding-specific positions and the player nursing/milking her breasts. She may eventually seek to leave with the Aethio to reunite with her offspring.
Companions with Benefits: Damaris and the player aren't romantically interested in each other, but they do find one another physcially attractive. The relationship, such as it is, becomes more an "order
pizza roast Aadi and fuck" scenario. Damaris will never get jealous of other lovers the player may have.
Femdom, 24/7: Damaris discovers that, despite her shy exterior, she has a dominant side. She will become assertive in what she wants and tell the player exactly how she wants to be serviced. Not limited to sex, Damaris will also expect the player to undertake menial tasks and may verbally belittle them (not too harshly). Sexually players can expect plenty of face-sitting and girl-on-top, though she may deny them orgasms. Pegging (or just dominant fucking if Damaris becomes a futa) is also on the table. Damaris may require the player to don a chastity belt to deepen the relationship.
Gentle Femdom, 24/7: Halfway between femdom and romantic, Damaris is very much in charge of the dynamic but not overly dominant. Sex is still femdom in nature but more intimate.
Royal Treatment: Damaris remains (relatively) chaste, rarely going to second base and NEVER beyond third. Player treats her like a princess, showering her with compliments and doing everything for her in a doting way. Romance option on steroids. You may even get a glimpse her ankle if you're lucky.
Slave Roleplay: Damaris discovers a submissive side and dons an
inert slave collar to become the property of the player. An actual enchanted slave collar would bind her to the player's desire, but this one lacks any actual enchantment. Instead Damaris willingly submits herself to the whims of the player, taking on the role of a slave but with a 'safe word' for if things ever get too intense. She cannot be sold as she is not actually a slave and can leave should she want to."
The highest votes (by far) were
Brood-Crazed and
Slave Roleplay. Presumably the other options will be available on other NPCs.
