Fuck, I have finished unholy maiden and decided to play as whore in Lona too. And i fucking can not do this. Sex scene are so disgusting that i dont have any reason to play as prostitute. And Lona is literally a teenage girl. So whore path is simply revolting. Can I realistically play without any sex scenes ?
Yes. In fact, one of the main themes of the game is that the sexual content is stuff that Lona would ideally want to avoid since it's mostly heavily detrimental to her in most cases. It's disgusting to promote not engaging with it and keeping Lona clean.
You can actually build Lona to be an adventurer badass hero who makes money by fighting the forces of evil...but that requires you to get REALLY good at the combat and mechanics because the combat is extremely heavily skill and knowledge based. There are also an impressive number of combat options available to use and mix. There are even questlines that result in some really powerful allies to make adventuring parties with (with a lot of hirelings being references to other games and anime) to go kick ass and take names. Due note however that the combat mechanics are HARD to emphasize that Lona is a teenage girl with noodle arms up against adult bandits, soldiers, monsters, mutants, and fanatics so you need to either fight smarter or fight better.
A lot of quests involving combat gameplay also pay very well to save towards the gold cost to win, which encourages going out to explore and find more quests with bigger and better rewards. Honestly, playing Lona as a prostitute without delving into certain semi-secret mechanics misses out on like 90% of the game's content, narrative, and gameplay.
