The very first character in the game, Cait, comes with a massive detailed in depth disclaimer that she is going to sleep around and won't do monogamy because she is a temple whore.See, I don't get this. To me, it seems like you're defaulting anyone who doesn't explicitly say otherwise to instantly monogamous and being disappointed when they aren't.
Atugia isn't really super into you. She's not your girlfriend, as far as I know she never says she loves you, you and her don't really establish as of yet any deeper connection than having sex and being friendly with each other...and everyone else in your party meets those same qualifications.
Azzy's entire introduction establishes that she's part of a hive, and she feels cut off when she's not around large amounts of people. The whole reason she latches onto you in the first place is because she's desperate for any kind of companionship since she can't be near everyone in her hive.
Imo, it's easier and makes more sense in the setting that''s been established to assume everyone is down for casual sex with different partners as the default and not the other way around. The people who aren't generally explicitly say so, like Brienne and Kiyoko.
Not "everyone in the world fucks everyone", but "this specific primary NPC is a rare exception"
Thus we are immediately informed that Cait is for Cucks in a way that implies that most NPCs are not that way.
Moreover there is the implication that we will be explicitly warned about it in advance. Thus people get blindsided when it turns out that this was all a lie and in fact all the characters in the game are that way, and the Cait disclaimer is a joke on the player.
CoC2 is suffering from a classic "designed by committee" / "too many cooks spoil the broth" syndrome.
well, that and also the devs throw tantrums and "punish" the players when people argue with them on discord. Or punish each other via shitting on each other's characters. (see Brienne NTR)
