I’mma be honest. I feel like you barely ready my post because when you’re talking about ruthless and leader and the scenes varying depending on that I literally talked about that in one of the parts you quoted.
I promise that I did, I just still disagree for the most part. I'll try to be precise in hope that you can understand where I am coming from. I also hope nobody else (not directed at you rev_01) starts getting pissy about our furthering this conversation about the game. /eyeroll
It does not make any sense for the MC to be part of the family business for a few weeks/months and instantly be this dom guy. He’s not going to instantly be ruthless like “oh im a crime lord now guess I better start being extremely ruthless and ignore my morals just cos,” no thats not how it works. The story will need to progress more for us to see the MC like this.
Agreed, if by "dom guy" you mean the perfect alpha guy - late 30s early 40s, physically fit & strong, smart, well groomed and smartly dressed, doesn't make mistakes, rich & powerful, sexually very skilled, women cannot help but cream themselves with him etc
No, the MC should not be that guy.
But, he can still be dominant, he'll just be a bad one. That's when you're a bad dom, when you're young. That's when you're a bad everything, because you've not yet learned how to be good at anything.
This is when he'd be calling her names that go too far, spanking too hard or too soft etc. He hasn't learned how to read people yet, nor how to be good in bed.
Also in a previous post, you said the male’s wants/needs should always come first in the bedroom.
I've said that about a dom's internal perspective (which of the MC we get), not all males.
A dom puts his or her needs above the subs needs.
However, he or she understands that the sub needs to get pleasure too or they won't come back for more. And, if there's a relationship too then obviously there's love too, and they can have intimate sex as well as lustful sex where the dom
guarantees that his or her love enjoys him/herself too.
This promotion of the dom/MC's needs above the women's is especially true for the MC as he is fucking (or trying to) or lusting over everything that walks past, including his mother and sister. This implies that he doesn't care about most or any of them. Because if you care about someone you exclusively date them and you don't cheat on them.
Because the desire to fuck as many partners as possible is either
a. an aspect of collection and control (bedpost notches) and therefore domination OR
b. an aspect of pleasing (wanting to be loved, to pleasure and please the partners) and therefore submission.
Neither is wrong for the young and single to be about the town doing but, they're different and for the high mileage fuck bois and girls it is absolutely one or the other.
Mate, I don’t know if you’ve ever had a girlfriend, but I’m 100% certain most women would not be fine with this. Women have wants/needs too and saying that yours come first is saying that you’re more important and hinting towards that women exist for your sexual pleasure, which is wrong on so many levels. You also said in this post that most women prefer their men to be dom, and again I have to ask, have you ever had a girlfriend or are you just basing this off porn and porn games? My girlfriend doesn’t like dom, nor do literally any of my female friends. I think I know one woman out of literally over a hundred who likes dom and i also know a lot of my mates and even just people i meet online, their gf’s don’t like dom either. It’s not as common as you think for women to like dom.
Whether people admit to liking it or not is irrelevant. Women like to be dominated, this is a fact that has long been known. The most recent casual proof of this is a little book and then film adaptation you might have heard of called 50 Shades of Grey, the 5th best selling book of all time and the fastest selling paperback of all time. And those stats reached with a 99% female audience (aka max target audience is half the population, half the prospective audience of any other book). Indicative, you could say.
In this game, we will always prioritise equality in the bedroom. Both partner’s needs are equally important and they will both get what they want.
But that is very foolish because only one of the "people" with choices and needs is real, the player. Whose needs and choices are represented by the MC.
Your story has the main protagonist be an up and coming criminal overlord - this attracts players that are attracted by the fantasy of being someone like that. Someone that has overwhelming power, is hugely corrupt, happy to ruin innocent lives for little to no reason, happy to murder his enemies and will use all of these things to get what he wants.
This is who the protagonist you guys chose has to become.
And if we can't see a seed of that future evil bastard in the current protag then it's weird and a problem.
The MC will not be a sub, but he will not be a dom either (except for a few scenes). The game was never tagged male dom so if you were expecting it, you’re looking in the wrong place for it. I suggest you find another game for dom because you’ll have to wait a while for dom in this game and do it on the ruthless path which is basically the asshole path. I don’t think you understand for the most part what this game is. Yes, it’s a crime game but one of the main focuses of the game is showing how the MC is very different from Frank and how he will toughen up but be a different type of mob boss, unless he’s on the ruthless path, then he will develop to be similar to Frank.
Ok I guess, but why make the protag a baby Capo then? Why not simply make him a businessman, a lawyer, a doctor or any other high status person that doesn't have "evil cunt" as an integral core component of the role? Strikes me as bizarre that you plan to write a character that is simultaneously able to dominate and command the respect and obedience of all the most evil and depraved people in the city whilst also remaining a Nice Guy™.

I hope that is clearer? And helps you understand my perspective a bit more.
