I'm sad you don't think Hester is hot. Clearly, my efforts to court the extremely lucrative GGILF market have failed.
This is reasonable, but it would have been hell to design. There's meant to be compromise behind the scenes no matter what occurs, but some of this is abstracted out for the sake of mechanics. Think of it as asking for too much leading to a negative reaction. Sometimes you can negotiate down, but if your initial offer is too high you run the risk of offending the other party.
I was afraid it was a limitation of the mechanics, but really hoped it was just an overlooked part of the script. I guess I'll just have to settle for
giving the succubi their own religion ungoverned by the Ivalan high priestesses.
