Bailey is definately the villian here, but one of his role is often overlooked.
He protects what belongs to him. MC and the orphans belongs to him.
Sure he sells them to other people for money, but there are times where he will kick intruders that had barged into the orphanage.
His connections with the rich and powerful like the mayor and Avery keeps the kids safe from other predators.
In this game, good guys are very rare, the best you can hope for is a neutral NPC who would offer aid when you give something in return.
To increase a sense of hopelessness, maybe you can increase the amount you have to pay to Bailey, so much so that you always fail and be sold by him to various customers and watch you friend Robin, one of the only good NPC in the game suffers with you.
So in short Bailey will let random fucked up things happen to innocent people only for proper payment. Thought of my sufferinng being beneficial to my tormentor is quite reassuring indeed, even though I'd rather not be raped and tortured at all. It really hurts my daily schedule and private life, you know

Once you get your skill up and know where the money is, you can easily pay him weekly including Robin's share and be free to do whatever you want.
If you want to do more than that, take a look at DOL plus.

Missed the fine print when signing up for the trip to Rapechester, eh?
I get that this is a major point about the game, but it's also the major thing that pushes me away from DoL. And, frankly, I have a hard time even understanding the reasoning.

An opressive world where you are really struggling, that's all fair and well, by why not offer a silver lining at the end. It's human nature, that's why happy endings where the norm in Hollywood for the longest time.

Humans (men especially) are also problem solvers. And that's why players generally find ways to deal wirh what the game throws at them. Like others remarked, it's not that hard to progress to a point where Bailey is easily paid off. It's more difficult (but also possible) when you also have to shoulder Robins bill, which is why I just ignored his suffering in my last playthroughs.

When the player has found a way to deal with the oppressiveness, they no longer are oppressive but merely annoying. It's like a missing endgame. Getting rid of all that crap should be the end goal, you get some ending closure like in Fallout and ride into the sunset, done, time for another round.

As it stands, my playthroughs just kinda fizzle out with a giant "fuck that shit".
Maybe I'm weird.

All love interests, prostitution, occasional exhibitionism-related encounters and plenty of occasions to slut around at high promiscuity.

IMO This game really needs to Hyperfocus on finishing the Main Story first before adding all the side stuff, so they can have a general outline as to where events can branch out of like for example: the Church Nun/Priest vs Kylar´s whatever was that cult that made his/her parents into monsters. and so on and so forth... instead of adding whatever every few months. :0

PD: still waiting for a Nurse Job or the streamer one, really i just want more jobs in this game, or even being able to Open stall at the beach so Robin can have some competition besides that dude that sells popcorn at least xD.

+1 to hoping for an eventual good ending. Would love to finally be able to send all the main "baddies" to the underworld and ride off into the sunset with Robin.

Does Vrelnir even remember what he wanted the game to be like? I, for one, don't remember what I watched yesterday. xD

I mean there is no "main" story. Its just a sandbox with some lore sprinkled around in its multiple side plots.
I don’t even think you can get all the lore without going completely hoe depraved since some bits are locked behind separate RO’s storylines. I could be wrong but with the structure of reaching there you gotta harem to get to all of it

Aye. The game is, in part, a response to the deteriorating state of the world, and the UK in particular, so it's hard to avoid reminders. To forget would be to go mad.
Okay, but so are hollywood movies with happy ends - responses to the detiorating state of the world. In the confines of the movie, things CAN be made right, there CAN be a happy ending.
I believe escapism is the word for this.

Otherwise, you'd better hurry up and implement grooming gangs.

He probably can't depict minors plus everyone is already Rapemaxxing in DOL. I am more interested in knife fights , imagine someone walks up to you,calls you a 'scallywag' and now you have to duel them to death:PogChamp:

Escapism may be a thing but this game isn't it. Plus some of us like the hopeless crapsack world it is. The Hollywood urge for a happy ending is what screwed us over from a very good but bittersweet poignant ending to the newest Final Destination. They thought the OG end was "too sad" and so they did the fake out thing yet again.
So... yeah I rather like the dark scrambling to survive helplessness DoL gives us. If I want a decidedly happy feel I'll play something else.
