I don't know if this was brought up before, and I don't know how useful it is to bring up at this point in development. But I still want to bring it up only to scratch my itch, if anything. Before I get started though, I want to say that Chronicles of Leridia is a game that has soul. I can feel how much love and passion Maelion has for this game, and it genuinely makes me happy to play it, and replay it every new update. I enjoy not just the sexy parts of this game, there's plenty of cool things that are just game design done right and sometimes I want to write these down, other times I feel like 95% of people won't care about game design in a smut game.
So now that I've praised the game, and rightfully so imo... I'm really not a fan of how the Tame stat works.
I like its inclusion, and quite enjoy how it can morph scenes. I even like how it isn't tied to which path Sylia takes nor is it tied to Arrogance. Meaning you can mix and match all these things together to play Sylia how you'd want her to be.
One of my favorite scene in the game is there one where Sylia is stuck in the Masa Village barn wall. While my horniness was quite high, I had about 5 Tame points. So the scene started with a confidant Sylia threatening the two guys as they did whatever they wanted with her. Then came the spanking, where every spank added both horniness and tame points. On the third and last spank, I was sent over the "Tame treshold" let's call it, leading Sylia to stop acting tough and submit in the scene itself. Which I found fantastic.
Let me break it down a bit. The "spanking part" doesn't happen if your Tame and Horniness points are high enough. It only happens as a way to potentially push Sylia, aka the player, into the "hotter" scene, whether it's by arousal, submission or both. (Sylia's face gets much lewder if you pass the horniness treshold). Actually I think it only checks Tame points, I'd have to check, but it definitely will acknowledge the horniness stats if it reaches high enough.
So why am I bringing this up? I kinda wish more scenes forgot the Tame requirement, instead using it transformatively. I don't mind how horniness works, because it's really just how horny Sylia feels right now, that's perfectly reasonable. But submissiveness is more of a personality trait.
Especially on a Saint playthrough it just feels punishing to constantly either miss out on scenes or go down a few Whipped Milks because I had to use a Confidence Potion for a boss. More importantly it makes Sylia look pretty crazy at times with how her personallity shifts drastically between scenes, especially in similar cases to mine where I prefer Sylia acting defiant in scenes that allow it, so my tame points are usually kept low.
Scenes like the guy in Kame Village masturbating in front of Sylia in the streets don't require her to be tame, he's not forcing anything on her. The wanderer in Masa Village could have a different scene for non-Tame Sylia (maybe she tells him to fuck of and he ambushes her behind the bar during a night patrol). As a last example (one which I could be wrong about, I'd need to start a new game to check), talking to Benny with both H and T stats at 20 in Masa will enable Sylia to ask him to meet her after dancing, but you'll only need the H stat for the second part. And Benny's barn scene isn't particularly submissive, Sylia is a bit defiant at first about her outfit, lust breaks her down more than anything. So why not remove the Tame requirement and just keep it optional in the conversation (assuming the guide is correct, again, I need to make a new game to check)
I guess what I'm trying to say in this lenghty rant/criticisms of mine is that, in a game that actually does a wonderful job at being open and letting the player experience as many scenes as possible, as seen in the path choice which, initially looks to give Deviant more scenes but Saint does get Defeat scenarios in exchange, the Tame stat feels a bit too restrictive and not as believable to constantably be going up and down, unlike the Horniness stat.
TL;DR I want to play a slutty defiant Sylia and the game is bullying me over this decision and locking scenes away from me, so I'm going to selfishly rant on the internet about it.
