Again- it is because she is one of the primary antagonist. If she were a side character I would agree, but since she is a major villian I'd posit there should be significant variation in her pathings.I strongly disagree on the grounds that not every character has to cater to every player. As we’ve both pointed out, there are multiple characters who can vary in their sexual dominance with Rowan already. If Jezera has to as well, then why can’t we have every character cater to submissive players? Why can’t we have every character cater to large insertion fetishists, or futa afficionados? There’s barely any foot-related content in the game, surely we need every character to cater to that niche?
I agree that having the twins submit in one of the endings is probably an essential element once the story is over, but if it happens before that, I definitely want to see reciprocity from characters on the opposite side of the Dom/Sub scale at the very least.
I also strongly disagree that Rowan (and even Alexia to some extent, though less so) is inherently coded as sexually submissive at the beginning of the game. He’s powerless—this isn’t the same as sexually submissive. And he quickly gains power—not against the twins, but over most of the castle inhabitants. There are essentially no sexual situations he HAS to take part in that put him in a particularly submissive position. He is necessarily subservient to the twins, but that’s not the same thing as sexually submitting to them. You can be sexually dominant and still serve a master in non-sexual ways, even unwillingly.
She isn't some side character with a fetish attached to her like Grey-hide (big dick + swinging), Liurial (maledom), Draith (male x male bottom), Cla-min (shortstack, romance, harem, breeding), or X'zaratl (futa + poly), Skodred (dwarf???), Shaya (prostitution), Cilonia (a duality of domination), Helenya (Rape....I guess).
Rowans relationship to the twins in terms of power dynamic practically defines the entire experience of the game- and a large part of that is the sexual dynamic. She isn't just some kink path- she is one of the primary antagonists.
Some players want to beat her down, dominate her, and have fun with her before the game is over. Just like some players want to be submissive to her, let her control their lives, and ruin their relationship with their wife.
