True... Then don't use it. Nobody is forcing you.
I'm talking about the lore and how Kronos is portrayed in the story (or at least what it looks like the dev is going for). I have no gripe about the "Street Walker" mechanic itself, it just feels like the mechanic goes against Kronos's character.
Very true, the whole existance of this skill/trait dont makes any sense.
By adding this skill the dev made sure i never let zoe follow me because i dont drag some whores around...and considering kronos personality its a game breaking feature against everything kronos values...hell, his whole energy is based on virgins, he travels through time to fuck virgins and now he whores his girls out? Never.
I don't normally have conversations on F95 related to design decisions of the game, but I thought I'd clarify a few things related to the Slut Skills. First, the word "slut" literally means someone who sleeps around, so it is implied that these skills will involve the girls using their bodies with other NPCs for a benefit.
With that said, the majority of the skills planned do not involve the companions having sex with anyone other than Kronos, but a few do. It was a decision I made based on the open nature of the game. Whenever possible, I try to give players the option to do something or not. For example, if players do not want to watch the three Puritans have their way with Mercy in the town square, the player can make Kronos intervene before anything happens. Some players will want to watch, and find this scene exciting (especially the Twisted version), but others will not. The option is there either way.
Regarding the nature of the character, Kronos does take Zoe's virginity, and impregnates her. After that, he has basically used her for what he needs. A jealous player can choose to keep Zoe at Castle Kronos, or only use her Moaning Whispers Slut Skill. Other players are free to use Street Walker if they so choose. I have deliberately selected the art style of a shadowy, bot-like figure to represent the "clients" for this skill to reduce the effect of seeing Zoe with another "man".
Depending on how complicated a certain Slut Skill is, the roadmap currently plans for adding the Slut Skills for 1 or 2 more characters each month until every companion has their own skills. After that, all new companions added will come with their skills already included. There will be a large variety of interesting skills to try out, so I hope you will keep in mind that if you don't want to play Kronos a certain way, you will absolutely have that option (at least when it comes to which girls you're going to allow to leave the castle with you).
Finally, I do not mind criticism what-so-ever. I am happy you voiced your concerns regarding the Slut Skills, and doing so has made me open to the possibility of eventually including the ability for players to swap out the skills they want their companion to use. So for example, if you absolutely hate Street Walker, you might be able to choose from several other skills to teach your companion to use. This is not something I have immediate plans to add (I want every companion to have their skills first) but something I will consider in a future update.
Thank you all for your thoughts and for caring enough about the game to talk about it!
