I don't have a lot to add to critics, besides a few general notes. Quadommes are the only not-boss monster that I consistently lose against- in fact, they're the only monster that I lose against when starting with perfect health/energy, and my lust as low as it can go - including bosses! Im a level 9 tech specialist, and can take out pretty much everything else in in the caves in 3 hits. But my best weapons barely do anything, and my best special attack 39 damage, at most. Even with the perk that allows techs to get out of grapples (which does work on webs, by the way) I find myself stuck in it more often than not, and it uses up a turn and a small chunk of energy, in a fight where every chunk counts. Fights usually end with next to no energy and me putting out. In addition, if you're already carrying eggs then your reflexes are shot and you have no chance at avoiding the initial web. If they were rarer, or only started showing up after accepting the quest (after a warning that they are Very Tough and you better be prepared) then I'd be okay with it, but as of right now, I can't even take the taxi to see the queen without risk of one popping up. Maybe the RNG gods just hate me, but as of right now they don't seem to be as rare as they're supposed to be.
That all said, there is something else I want to add, because I feel like a certain type of player hasn't been represented much in this debate yet.
I'm somewhat an roleplayer. I create a character, and I make choices based on what they would do. This is how I enjoy myself the most when playing a game, even if that means my character won't have the best stats or will have a glaring weakness or whatever. The reason I bring this up is because I'm seeing a lot of comments that I'm reading as ''just max out your stats' or 'max out your lust', which really doesn't help me. I find grinding dreadfully boring, and the satisfaction from having a perfect character who can destroy everything doesn't last long long and really isn't worth it- just like playing a character to pretend you're someone else is uninteresting to others. There are different types of players and playstyles, and the reason I dislike this encounter so much is because I feel like I'm being cornered into playing in a way I dislike. The longer I spend in this cave, the more inevitable captain Steele spending an hour flashing his dick at aliens seems to be.
That all said, I am SO stealing that egg trainer trick. Spending an day in a harem is much better than having eggs stuffed in me again.
(Apologies if this seems confrontational. I tried to edit the hostility out. Sorry that there was any to begin with.)
