No, not worse, but different. Let's say Sabia becomes some sort of warlord: would you really expect her to still work in a bar?
No, but it would be cool if she blew all the Orcs and let them bang her to increase their morale. The orcs say, "Our Warlord is so good to us."
I don't know how they intend to design the sub route, but I can make the educated guess that it's about being manipulative instead of assertive. She will still probably end up fucking a lot of randos, but always for some purpose. An example is during the Red God Arena when you can bribe with sex the orc registering results to avoid getting your loss written down.
They should make her take pleasure in being submissive, not being reluctant about the sex she's obviously enjoying.
If you side with Tekrok only, it makes sense for her to get banged by all the Orcs and like it.
That's why I told you that you probably were looking for a different kind of game. KoD is not only about the sex, is about sex in a fantasy RPG. And the depth of the world-building is what tells the player that they're serious about the story.
I played the game some more. The game is definitely about the sex, lol.
Here's what I would adjust for submissive sabia. These changes would make the game even better than it already is:
Pure Submissive Sabia (0 domination, max submission) - Tekrok loyalty - Proposed Adjustments/Additions
1. Allow Bar Gropers to fuck her in the tents and recruit them into Tekrok's crew
2. Allow Orcs at the bar to grope sabia only if they have her permission. She can give groping privileges to Tekrok's crew and the Bar gropers once they side with Tekrok. The other orcs get jealous and want to grope Sabia too so they side with Tekrok.
3. If Sabia is loyal to Tekrok only and wears orc slave armor, make her face ENJOY all the sex she has with Orcs and never be reluctant and never challenge their authority during sex, PURE submission. She can be reluctant before the sex, playing games, but ultimately submitting.
4. If Sabia's domination score is zero, she does not make the first move with Lutrvig in the trainer area.
5. Sabia can choose to continue working in the tents if she sides with Tekrok, but she only has sex with Tekrok's men or the Bar gropers if they side with Tekrok. Now that she's one of them, she can be selective in which groups get to gangbang her. This way she's still seen as having more power than before the trial.
