clockwinding I do know why the shopkeeper attacked me - my beef was with the fact that you are given multiple options, and they all do the same thing: remove shopkeeper (with banishing having that mindflayer extra). Besides, since I am going for the virgin warrior priestess (cross/fusion/hybrid/whatever-fancy-word class), there is kind of nothing I can do about his attitude short-term, I think: I would either need ALOT of gifts, not visit him at all (same as beating him, but without "yay, some free items"), or abandon the class: since the armor keeps contributing to that, blocks the underwear slot and is itself blocked by the hairclip, which cannot be removed until you uncurse it by "staying a virgin for a while", which is the simplest type of timegating - the passive "just go about your business" kind.
Anyway, if you mean the whip of domination - would that not balance itself out with the fact that each non-lethal hit adds arousal instead? More arousal -> orgasm, potentially shameful -> +Sex Addiction and Humiliation.
qwsaq Two starting stats

And I did, once I realized how drastic the changes coming from the starting settings actually are (e.g., the aforementioned "no fetish = no enemy/item") and went through them after scouring what counts as the wiki for the game. The abandoned run was my very first, though, so I guess it was bound to fail in a catastrophic way regardless of what I did.

One thing I like the game for, though, is that very premise of being motivated to
avoid the sexy times whilst they keep getting shoved in your face - actually makes me play the non-sexy part of the game whilst getting the 18+ aspect as a bonus from time to time.
P.S. speaking of the Flower Hairclip, something I cannot comprehend even with the power of THE WIKI at my disposal: it spawns cursed -> you stay a virgin -> it uncurses -> you stay a virgin -> it becomes blessed -> you stay a virgin -> it gives (gets?) a stat boost. I stayed a virgin beyond that, and eventually it gave another of those "stat boost"ing messages, which made me wonder: is that a bug/oversight of some sort or
does it actually give/get another boost every time the threshold is reached anew? Since the latter sounds like you can max out them stats by just walking around, provided you have the patience.
