Release 29: Negotiation

This update adds the third Distortion path, Negotiation.  It follows the previously-established pattern of selectively breaking some Vulnerabilities without breaking others, then doing something special to trigger the Distortion.  In this case, the player must break T2 Innocence and Confidence without breaking Morality or Dignity (except for T1 Morality).  Then after bringing the entire team to at least 1 billion ANGST, you will be able to begin the Distortion by offering a truce to the subject during a custom sex scene.

As you might surmise from that last requirement, this update also introduces the ability to have custom sex scenes with the Chosen.  Unlike the custom sex scenes with the Forsaken, your partner will have the ability to cut the scene short if she really doesn't like what you're doing with her.  Scenes with completely uncorrupted Chosen will generally be very short, but as you continue dealing Innocence and Confidence Breaks, they'll gradually grow more cooperative, whether to satisfy their own lust or in hopes of getting gentler treatment during battle.  You can start custom sex scenes with the Chosen from their Psychic Reading profiles, and there's no cost to doing so, which means that you might as well check with them periodically over the course of the game and see what they're willing to do with you.

The last notable addition is two more sex acts that may be used during custom scenes: oral sex and footjobs.  These were picked to go along with the small rebalance to the partner decision-making process which makes high-Deviancy, low-Obedience partners much more willing to perform "dominant" sex acts, even if they hate you.  These will probably come up frequently in encounters with half-broken Chosen.

Chosen who are broken with the Negotiation route get a bonus to PLEA and INJU damage, which can be quite a powerful combination, and depending on how many times you met with them as Chosen, they can end up with very high Obedience scores even without the usual required training.  I hope that everyone enjoys using the new tools at your disposal!
