1. The birth control shot from the hospital doesn't seem to do anything at all. I've tested it a few times. Both with and without the child free perk and always without the broodmother/creampie perks.
Not testing the shot in a while, but it was added before the inventory was in as a short term solution. Now that plan b and abort pills are in, this option really should just be removed. I will try and remember to get rid of it for the public release.
2. I'm not sure what's intended and what isn't but in the current version bruising doesn't work like it used to. Bruises disappear at midnight. It's super noticeable if Sammy gets punched at 11:30 and the bruise vanishes almost right away. But they seem to work the way they used to in Haven where the bruises gradually fade in two days.
Just tested and you are right, not sure how that managed to happen. Will fix.
3. Prostitution at the pub pays about the same as prostitution at the highway. For gameplay reason prostitution at the highway should pay better, because it requires either completing a quest or having a perk. For realism reasons prostitution at the pub should pay better. Either way they shouldn't pay the same.
The calculations are different and the highway should pay less. But while reading your comment I realised it might be because of allure. How much is paid is based on your allure and multiplied by a bonus. The bar has a bigger bonus while the highway has none, but the highway you can pick your own clothes and get a much higher allure. Will investigate.
4. This is really nitpicky but could probably be covered by a little bit of fluff text somewhere. It feels really weird that there are so many girls working the highway when Sammy can just walk in to the pub or a pink room to do prostitution and bypass it entirely. It makes it seem like the highway whores are choosing to work the highway because they prefer it for some reason while the game is also telling us a lot about how dangerous it is to work the highway and how the pub is having trouble keeping girls working there because it encourages prostitution. A little text somewhere about how the pub turns away a lot of girls for not having the right look and some really agressive pricing for the pink rooms would probably be enough. Or something like that. I'd say make the pub take a cut of Sammy's prostitution earnings there so there's a real tradeoff of relative safety vs. profit but that might take more time to implement and balance than it's worth.
In the story, the highway is supposed to only be for junkies and complete wasters who are paid little money. But in drawing the characters, players don't want to see whores with rashes, boils or other nasty medical conditions or addiction effects so I guess that the story is lost. I suppose I might have to adjust the lore a bit so it will make sense.
