Human males in this game are pretty much all POS, that's true.
Zorlun has stated that he never intended for Myriam to be a dominant female character such as Nubia. Dominance for her, is an expression of her desire to have greater control over her own life, rather than other peoples. She's simply too trusting, kind-natured and desirous of helping and pleasing others, to become a true dominant character.
yeah not a fan of the second one, like look kid im helping you out and you oral rape me? thanks for the heads up tho i tend to try to be a good person in games so i might have helped him just to be nice....
Yeah I felt the same as you when I saw this. He does come to rescue Myriam when she's being harrased down the line tho.
so its a let him rape you or get raped later kinda thing? or is the one down the line avoidable?
There are sex scenes when I say I'm going to bring out Myriam's inner bitch but with Cassius it's literal, right?
No it's more like he's a good kid that wants to help you. I think he helps regardless.
I'd disagree on this definition of submission you describe with Cassius/Hammer though in the way how the author lets Myriam feel guilty for the need to please Cassius animalistic needs, as she never stoped him, rather than wanting him to please her own animalistic sexual desires!
No, it's because she doesn't have the will to resist Anthony. He's been conditioning her, and emotionally blackmailing her, into doing whatever he wants. Whether she feels like it, or not. In this instance, if she has enough willpower, she can summon up the courage to say no, and mean it, so that Anthony backs down. Because essentially he's a manipulative coward. Myriam was always able to stop him, he'd just convinced her over time, that it was her duty as a partner, to always acceed to his demands. Anthony understood that her overly trusting and sweet nature, was a weakness he could exploit. Which was the main reason he was with her ( alright, her being super hot and rich probably played a part as well)
so can you brake up in this game? become single first then pursue another man or a woman?or is it just cheating?
You will have a chance to break up with the bastard down the line and it's great.
so you can avoid any sex with him and dump him?
Yup. The protagonist starts out in an abusive relationship, which she can break out of at a key point in the story, which then becomes about her finding herself and figuring out her own desires post-breakup. At that point she may e.g. go purely lesbian if that's your preference, but can also sink even further into debauched submission. She also has a "dominance" stat, but the dominant content is limited and fairly weak sauce for now.
and thats what makes games like this good, REAL choices. and not something simply like
In real life sex for animals is an instinctive behaviour. It's not really determined by choice, but by hormones and biological imperative. But this being a fantasy, Cassius has been imbued with human characteristics and as such is able to express his dominant will over Myriam, as if it was something he was consciously aware of.
I disagree. Sure her dominant trait isn't used much for sex but it's great to see Myriam not put up with anyone's abuse anymore after dealing with Anthony.
She doesn't even need to be dominant to reject his blackmail. Even if she's normally very submissive. Him threatening her children, is enough to make her very angry and behave in a dominant way.
Still shows as possible malware.
This scene I thought there is a beginning of character evolution, but no it is not.
