Option to turn off Arona threesomes?

[CyclicalImpact]

Feel like this has to have been written about before, but can't find a thread.

Obviously I know the point of dom Arona's sex scenes being randomized is that it's HER that decides, and I'm totally fine with that. Just wish there was an option to turn off the Cait/Ryn content, Cait specifically. Not super into 3some content in general, but I just find it really grating when my Champ, who has never sexed Cait, suggests inviting her along for the ride whenever I initiate sex with Arona at the Frost Hound. Also at this point I pretty much will just never have Cait and Arona in the same party, because the slut cat jumping in whenever dom Arona's blue balls/rut scene plays out is also pretty annoying - wtf, that's MY mistress D:<

Idk, even if the writers want to keep to the theme of what dom Arona wants being more important, I feel like maybe after the Khor'Minos bath scene where you and she can confess to each other, there could be a talk option for the Champ to essentially say "I want you and that dick all to myself"

Be interested to hear what other people think, because yeah - when it comes to companions (especially ones I like as much as Arona) I don't wanna have to share! lol

Well, I did see some similar discussion about wanting certain companions to be monogamous and be entirely champsexual (it's usually talked about in gripes thread I think). 1st time I've seen someone talk about this about Arona though.

Obviously I know the point of dom Arona's sex scenes being randomized is that it's HER that decides, and I'm totally fine with that.

Yeah, the randomized sex scene is one of the many reasons I prefer sub!Arona compared to Dom, but it does seem unfair that you're forced to threesomes with npcs you never sexed. Might be a bug because there definitely stuff that tracks whether PC fucked cait or ryn. Maybe bug report it? Probably won't get rid of Cait servicing Arona while the latter is blue-balled but it might prevent threesome scenes from rotation.

Idk, even if the writers want to keep to the theme of what dom Arona wants being more important, I feel like maybe after the Khor'Minos bath scene where you and she can confess to each other, there could be a talk option for the Champ to essentially say "I want you and that dick all to myself"

I understand wanting to monopolize the character you like but I feel like it's a big part of Arona's character to fuck around other people (I mean look at how the orc culture works). If she ends up only fucking PC and becoming champsexual like Brienne and Kiyoko, I feel like it would make her an entirely different character. It's like asking Cait and Brint to not sleep around with other ppl (although Cait does warn PC before fucking her)! Plus even tho she is a fictional character, it is her choice to fuck around or not. So even if that talk scene is available, knowing Arona, she'll say no esp w/ Dom! Arona. Hell, even sub!Arona fucks around just as much but a little bit more tamed just bc pc is the boss but it's just who she is.

Now, the khorminos bath scene is an important character development point for her since it's hard for her to be open with mushy things such as feelings for Arona but it just opens up a more romantic/caring side of Arona since in-game you only see her fratboyish side to her (not sure what kind of PC you play but PC preg comfort scene and the scene that triggers when PC's hp is very low is very sweet along with the bath scene btw). But the bath scene seems to just exist how deep her relationship is with the PC.

Be interested to hear what other people think, because yeah - when it comes to companions (especially ones I like as much as Arona) I don't wanna have to share! lol

While I did end up appreciating Arona after her expansion (still will only do sub!arona tho), I do also personally prefer champsexual characters (which seems to be quite common with how popular Brienne and Kiyoko is), but with how full of sex Savarra is there are a lot of npcs that sleep around unfortunately. And companions are no exception to the sex-filled world of Savarra. I mean heck, I'm sure your pc also sleeps around with other ppl too (not saying it's not impossible to be only sleeping/romancing one character but it's rare considering it's a porn game).

Now if you like Dom! Arona, you might like Evelyn and Annika! Evelyn does sleep around but she does let pc choose which sex scenes to do (and 3-somes and 4-somes are optional). A great balance of rough yet gentle dom. Anniks is also EXCELLENT especially so if you want a more monogamous dickgirl. Now, she is much more mature and kind of like the opposite in terms of personality Arona, but she also does a really good job of being a muscular dom! Plus if you liked the intimate moments like the khorminos bath scene, her romance development is REALLY good (recommend bimbo champ for extra cuteness)!

This is very much how I felt about Arona earlier on, but an awful lot of her newer content/content added after all her initial companion stuff has all been a very pleasant surprise with its romantic tone and dom Arona talking about how much she values the Champ/ how much she loves them - the Khor'Minos Bath scene, that reoccuring random scene of her pushing you up against the wall and kissing you at the Frost Hound, all of her content on the ship ride to Dracia. She was already up there for one of my favourite companions but her getting more intimate and affectionate with the PC really hammered her home as my absolute favourite.
Also, to be clear, while Arona being 'champsexual' as you put it would be awesome, it's not something I expect to happen and I wasn't really asking for that. My suggestion for a scene where the PC requests if they can have Arona to themselves was less about monogamy and more about providing a related talk scene for toggling threesomes on and off, as opposed to the way I remember TiTS doing things where it is just a literal toggle. Even if it WAS just a toggle I still think it'd be a great and easily implemented quality of life change for anyone that feels the same way I do.

Yeah, the randomized sex scene is one of the many reasons I prefer sub!Arona compared to Dom, but it does seem unfair that you're forced to threesomes with npcs you never sexed. Might be a bug because there definitely stuff that tracks whether PC fucked cait or ryn.

I honestly think Cait jumping in on the blue balls scene while travelling with both her and Arona might have counted as me sexing Cait? I don't remember her 3some scene occuring before it happened, but I might be misremembering. I also HAVE fucked Ryn and do enjoy her character and a lot of her content (especially now that we can get that cage off/she can top) but I really dislike the Ryn/Arona 3some scene on top of just disliking companion 3somes in general. Idk, maybe I'm being whiny, but I feel like I can't be the only one who grimaces and skips through every time one of these scenes procc.

(still will only do sub!arona tho)

Personally I just can't do sub Arona - her being submissive and having, like, one whole scene where she tops the Champ (and even then I think the Champ is still technically riding her) kills her whole character for me

Yeah I actually really disliked her before all that new expansion bc early on it felt like Dom!Arona was treating PC like another hole/bitch to breed. She definitely grew on me with those scenes added.

Oops I guess I misunderstood you! Yeah that would be real convenient. It's one of the older content that probably does need revamping (also didn't know tits had a toggle).

I don't remember her 3some scene occuring before it happened, but I might be misremembering.

Well Arona is kind of in the middle? of the popularity (there were some polls on favorite/least favorite in the threads) so prob not enough ppl talking about it. I'm not really sure if the sex scenes rotation takes into account whether PC has fucked ryn or cait and stuff but you can use the save editor to load up your save and look up flags for ryn fucked or cait fucked. Or use console edit to check. It should be: ( CAIT_FUCKED / ETHERYN_FUCKED ) flags in save editor or just do flags. CAIT_FUCKED and flags. ETHERYN_FUCKED in the console edit to check.

Personally I just can't do sub Arona - her being submissive and having, like, one whole scene where she tops the Champ (and even then I think the Champ is still technically riding her) kills her whole character for me

Fair enough. I'm a big fan of being a sub but idk after that one particular scene with how dom!arona talks to futa champ if PC had kids (where she talks about she rather have heir from her womb opposed to pc's womb even though they're literally both her fucking child and how she bred the PC, "for a fucking reason,") and some other offending scenes, I can never get into Dom!Arona. She's gotten much better though!

Might be a bug because there definitely stuff that tracks whether PC fucked cait or ryn.

I dunno if that's a BUG but that's probably a good change.

In the sense of 3somes not occuring if the champ hasn't fucked the other companions?

On one hand, I get what you mean but on the other, you don't get to decide who or what you do sexually with Domrona; that's the whole point, if anything I'd say there should be a line or two acknowledging the fact the PC hasn't slept with Cait/Ryn or any other character she has a scene with but gets pushed into it anyway.

Kinda get that, but at the same time the Arona/Cait 3some literally begins with the Champ going "Let's invite Cait!" which is especially grating.
And even if it didn't, I can't really think of a good reason for there not to be an option to turn the scenes off, especially as the PC and Arona grow closer as the game and her events progress. As a few examples, I remember on the voyage to Dracia the PC making some joke about Alissa surrendering when she saw how hot Arona is, and Arona immediately responds with something like "Nah, don't want her, I've got you." Another example, I think it's in the bath house scene, is Arona talking about how she fucked plenty of people back at the Sailgraves, but she's never had a proper relationship where she actually cared for anyone like she now does for the PC.
Like I said in a previous comment, I'm not really asking for/expecting any major changes to Arona's content - in fact I've loved all of her more recently added stuff, the interactions with her on the ship to Dracia were awesome. I just don't think it's a huge ask for an option to turn off the randomly occuring 3somes

A skip shouldn't be too hard to fit in for the devs, but that's only if enough ppl notice and care to speak about it.
Edit: They could always just rewrite the threesome scenes as Arona mentioning the participants to you and you getting the threesome together.

I'm not gonna cry and whine if they don't, if it isn't something that bothers other people then I don't expect it to be changed even though it's a pretty small/easy adjustment. I can just keep on doing what I've been doing, keeping Cait and Run out of the same party as Arona and avoid sexing her at the Frosthound... It would just be nice not to have to
