Does anybody even use Ice Cold as their starting perk, or is it just there "just in case"?
I take Ice Cold everytime, and keep my Libido low.
I don't have to jerk off constantly IRL, why would I want my Steele need to do that? (Never mind how I wouldn't stop combat with someone attacking me because I'm horny.)
I have messed around with high libido builds, but lust builds up fast and if you're not very diligent about dealing with it, it can lead to quick losses against sexy opponents.
Lust in general is a bugbear for me, most of my combat losses have been from something turning my Steele on a lot, and me not noticing. Get into combat and boom, insta loss.
It's a core game mechanic though, so I deal.
Ice Cold helps a lot though.
