Again, I never said it would stop Runey.This whole story is a lot of work. Tons of core story, tons of side story, tons of bonus content. Again, it wouldn't stop Runey, if he thought it enhanced the game.
Yes, but by the time we've reached they also want other things. Sometimes contradictory things. NPCs have shut him out, stopped dating him, stopped being available for the dungeon, and every point in-between. BDSM as a binary switch — yes/no — is very unusual for this story. "I love being kinky but I'll no longer humiliate myself" would be a very realistic thing for one of the more narratively tormented NPCs to say. And whether or not that sticks — whether or not the NPC decides she actually did like the more humiliating kinks — would also be narratively interesting.
Why, though? I mean, it's easily justifiable and entirely reasonable. But why has Maria's trust never really wavered, save for a few days of isolation? Android's? Given what she's seen since, the MC put Lin in a very dangerous situation with that slave competition.
Complexity is welcome, and this story is very complex when it comes to characterization. Maria might never want to be bound again, considering what happened to her. Android might never want to have control taken away from her (or she might specifically want it, given that she's strong enough to break out of it). Lin might reject anything that makes her subservient, or she might actively seek subservience knowing that she's become the MC's equal in real life. These are all ways to make events and characters more complex and more nuanced. "Yes/no" w/r/t BDSM in its entirety isn't that complex.
Yes, it'd be a pain to retro-code. But Runey's done that as well. And the future offers a lot of potential.
Sure, and I do as well, but it'd be so very powerful.
None of it is contradictory, they are just not mutually exclusive desires and can exist at the same time.
Because they love and trust him while Android has no real say in whether she trusts him. Wehn the hospital thing happened, who was it that came to her rescue? It was the MC with some help from Ellen. When all other humans, aside from a few, are so bad to Elves, who was it that treated Lin like a person and not a slave? It was the MC, this time with no help.
That's why they haven't been fixed when Kali could have done it a long time ago. Nobody in universe wanted to essentially destroy who she is, so the fixes were canceled.Her 'bugs' are what makes her 'her', fixing them would revert her to 'default', where she would be just like any other android. She would still exist, but she would no longer be 'her' any more.
The twins already have a similar scene, with the pet outfit photoshoot, and they were asking for more, so talking them for a walk, making them 'water some plants', plowing them doggie style, etc... seems like the next logical step.
Hard to say who else might get off on it... It would certainly be fun in the slave routes for example for the elves. Even if Lin might enjoy it, it seems counter productive to her plot. It seems silly, but maybe some attachment for Android, or All1e later, some remnants of the dog body? lol. Kali certainly gets off on being exposed and humiliated. I can't wait to see how far Vanessa is willing to go. I still say Maria is an option, though I don't want to get into debating that can of worms again. Ashley would pretty much do anything if she thought it would make the MC happy. Autumn is a ways off from something like that, I think, but I can see her in the dungeon before too long, it really fits the theme they have of penance and guilt, just like the Catholics, maybe more so.
The twins I could definitely see and, with a bit more progress, slave route Elves, though the last one might run into a preference issue with Runey since he specifically designed the slave routes around a sex first progression and hasn't really done a whole lot with them.
