Ok, so I need to get this off my chest. This game should have a disclaimer which clearly says, "if you aren't a yes man, who enjoys being cucked (Yes its cuckoldry, look up the definition) it isn't for you. Let me explain with clear bullet point examples.
*The orc companion first encounter is simple. Say yes to fuck her or say no and watch the scene immediately skip to the next plot point. Missing out on all forms of content. Companion insight, quests, backstory etc if you keep refusing her.
*Having a baby with Meredith. She went behind your back to get pregnant, by not using her birth control. Now I wouldn't care if I could say no to the babies birth, but nope. She tricks you into it, refuses to give it up and never lets you smash her again. Ergo missing more content.
Rinse, wash and repeat. You miss out on anything related to your companions by refusing to be a little bitchboy.
SPOILER ALERT
At the end of the third act. If you (like me) was fed up with your disgusting nymphomaniac companions and built the empire. You can kill them off, but not how you might hope. As is the theme of this game, you can't do anything rude to your companions without being punished for it by removing further content. I decided to be an evil emperor and kill off everyone except the succubus, xyless (best girl because she's the only one who isn't a whore) and kat. You'd expect a fight with your "friends" but nah son. It's just a quick skip cut to show them fall over. Totally unsatisfying after slogging through the BS of peeping in on them fucking horses, brothers, griffons and interdimensional beings. All in all, we should be able to call out or say how disgusted we are with them. Or at the least kick them out after seeing their true nature. Sigh, feels good to vent. Nowhere to go from here but up.
The first scene with Ruksana is optional and no matter what your choice is, it doesn't change what information you have available to you. The questions before the scene (Why are Murkhal's followers fighting you?, How can they be so powerful?, Have you tried getting other nations to help you?) are obviously available and when you select "That's all I needed to know for now." you make the choice about sleeping with her. If you accept her offer, the scene is triggered. If you select either of the other two there is no scene and it moves on to you spending the night and being woken by battle sounds (Which is the same result that you get at the end of the scene). The difference in the options is the change in Ruksana's affection stat. After you win the battle the options available are exactly the same no matter which option you chose previously. So if you elect to sleep with her or not has no effect on what information you are able to gather. The only thing you lose is the scene dialogue, non of which is tied to any quests or related to the backstory.
As for Meredith, how is what she does any different than what is possible today? There are many women who have "tricked" their partner and become pregnant and at that point there really isn't much he can do about it. Here you have the choice of basically refusing to accept the baby and then you never hear about it again. I also have never heard of any situation where the potential father was able to stop the birth of a child when the person carrying the child didn't agree with him. The way in which she became pregnant is completely irrelevant at that point. Unless you are willing to force her or physically assault her (both of which are absolutely unacceptable in a civilized society), you are no longer in control of the situation.
Meredith leaves, has the baby, then returns without it and you move on. The consequences of refusing the baby is you take a massive hit in her affection (-20). It is still possible to have scenes with her afterwards, but it is still dependent upon that statistic. Even if you have not lost any affection before this, you are probably going to have a very low number at this point, which means you won't necessarily be able to trigger scenes dependent upon that value until you raise it. That is why she doesn't "give it up", not because of anything specific to the baby sequence.
Refusing to be a "bitch boy" only eliminates the availability of a couple of specific scenes and it does not block any other content that is relevant to the game story line. You can refuse the baby with both Meredith and Ruksana if you want to and in both cases they go away, have the baby, and then return without the subject ever coming up again. For Clawyn, you have the option of refusing to try and get pregnant in the first place.
BTW - I took your suggestion. Here is the definition of "cuckold" from several sources:
"A man whose wife is sexually unfaithful, often regarded as an object of derision"
or
"A
cuckold is a man who has been betrayed by his wife. If your wife
cuckolds you, she is cheating on you with a different man"
or
"A
cuckold is the husband of an adulterous wife."
You will notice that it all of these (and others that I checked) specifically refer to a "Wife" / "Husband" - meaning that a person is required to be married for this to apply. The characters in this game are not married (or even commited), so I don't see how "if you aren't a yes man, who enjoys being cucked" is at all applicable. If your issue is with the faithfulness of your companions, that is understandable, but requiring a "cuckold" tag does not seem to be appropriate in this case.
If you do not find the game enjoyable, for whatever reason, then there are probably many others that may be more to your liking and they can be found in this site (or other game forums). However, I think that the statements you listed about the game are inaccurate and do not reflect the state of the game or what options really are available for players in these situations.
