Minor Morality + Significant Dignity gives a punisher which increases self Motivation.
I guess it's personal preference. I like to break all 3 chosen at the same time. So rather than getting t3 break as soon as they are possible, I like to wait till I can get a big enough of an orgy to get unlock all possible ones.
Getting an extra energy can be quite useful, but it depends on a lot of factors. If you've got one with bad stats, no immediately useful punishers, and an unfriendly relationship with the other two, then it's probably a good idea.
The game runs mostly on sheer mathematics where small choices early on can snowball down the line and make/break the run. There are some guides included in the game files themselves that can help point you in the right direction but it can get complicated fast. Basically, you start off by slowly chipping away at the weaknesses of the Chosen based on their personalities. Eventually, you'll be able to use the damage inflicted from surrounding them to start breaking vulnerabilities which will corrupt them and make them start doing actions that give you more evil energy. You use this energy to purchase upgrades and create stronger commanders to continue to chip away at their psyche until you get to the point where you can destroy their resolve before the final battle. The relationships between the damage types, the personalities, and the traumas are the most important mechanics to get under your belt.
Mostly, yes. There is a setting you can toggle to make the violence less overt, And the Temptation and Negotiation distortions are more consent based, but the main loop is still to traumatize the chosen in order to corrupt them.
