I'm trying out interrogation, but both the character in-game and the player don't really know what to do. All the secretive characters have had Willpower well in excess of 100. My talk and 'punishment' scores are close to starting.
I found a decent candidate: a woman with only 116 Willpower. Trying both Charm and Manipulate, the dice results suggest I won't have any chance of success until her Willpower is reduced to the 40s.
I have her collared, jailed, and under the care of a Willpower 8 mistress. I ran 3 punishment vignettes (defiance is easy to generate in small amounts -- she won't wear a butt plug) so far for very limited reductions in Willpower -- my skills in Bondage and Flagellation are both less than 20 so I'm not close to generating a positive arousal and after the punishments probably won't get back to close to zero for quite a while.
At the current rate of Willpower decline, it looks like 2-3 months of incarceration will be required. Am I missing a bet or is this expected?
