Yeah, that's a big part of it. Sub Sabia is a ruthless warrior thrown into a position where she has to play up her own powerlessness to achieve success. Only, she starts to like it. But, like, all of the material in the last few updates have fuck all to do with that, because she doesn't directly benefit from any of this. She's just kind of a pushover and nothing is goal oriented at all. She's off knee deep in the weeds doing stuff with the thinnest connection to her quest at all. Early period Sabia's actions always had very clear end goals related to power position.
But there are loyalty attributes:
- human loyalty
- orc loyalty
If she's submissive, starts to like having sex with Orcs, AND becomes more loyal to Orc, then she benefits by acquiring sexual pleasure in her off time. It's the equivalent of experiencing sexual pleasure with humans after a long days work. Sabia having casual sex with Orcs pushes along the main narrative in the direction of her possibly changing allegiance to Orc.
If she was loyal to humans, then your argument starts to make more sense. If she has very little loyalty to Orc, then like you said,
"she has to play up her own powerlessness to achieve success".
These are the four routes that IMO should lead to different scenarios:
-Dom Sabia loyal to human (
she has to play up her own powerlessness to achieve success)
-Dom Sabia loyal to orc (let's her guard down with orcs, having casual sex, without being a pushover, her allegiance starts to shift to orc in big way)
-Sub Sabia loyal to human (
she has to play up her own powerlessness to achieve success, but she's a push over)
-Sub Sabia loyal to orc
(let's her guard down with orcs, having casual sex, but she's a push over, her allegiance starts to shift to orc in big way)
