I just want to share a few thoughts for those who believe that the latest update featured a major "escalation" — yes, I’m not afraid to use that word — in Vallabelle’s behaviour. Some people feel she suddenly started getting used to / not rejecting / even enjoying the Durrak's actions.
Yes, on the surface, it might seem a bit abrupt (even the developer said, quote: “I won't be rushing things, but the story will pick up a bit of pace.”), but honestly, I don’t see it as a big issue. Here’s why I believe her behavior is actually justified and makes sense:
1) First of all, we’re playing the game update by update, often with long breaks in between. But if you play it from the beginning in one go, you’ll notice there’s already been a good amount of buildup leading to Vallabelle’s shift.
2) Second, don’t forget — we’re in the Cursed Forest, which likely means a growing influence of lust over all main characters, including Vallabelle. That same influence might be affecting her husband too — possibly awakening his identity as a cuck (maybe, but idk).
3) Third, she’s an elf, not a human (yeah, wild, right?). People expect her to act like a human, but that’s based on your own inflated (and frankly anti-horny) expectations. As she herself said, her behavior, customs, worldview, and more differ greatly from those of us lowly humans.
Just to remind - it's only my vision on situation.
