Something I just noticed that I hadn't paid any attention to before is the respect stat on slaves. From the wiki it sounds like it's effect is similar to affection, making it easier for you to do most things with her regardless of your stats. Turns out it's easy to raise by just having her as a witness during combat while you kill stuff. I raised Juno's respect to good in 1 day.
I'll be curious to see how much difference it makes. I decided to start over with some points in melee anyway so I could work towards boosting melee high enough to fight in the arena when I unlock Crystal Hills without having to actually train it. So far it's more effective than I thought it would be but I'm still just fighting raiders and punks. So squashing one of them with a sledgehammer isn't that impressive.
Edit: Played around a bit more with respect and with Juno now "Impressed" with me she's pretty easy to persuade to do things even with zero arousal and less than 30 charm and manipulation. So it does seem to make a significant difference. My first seduction session with her had a 100% success rate for all of my charm checks which I'm definitely not used to. I'm thinking it might well be worth cycling most if not all of your slaves in for a few days of combat with the main character and mercs carrying all of the burden of actually killing stuff. I don't think Juno has hit anything even once so far, but that's fine.
