Reputation

From Outsider Arthouse

As the player character performs actions she will gain a reputation, both for her actions and behavior, but also for her sexual prowess or perversity. Reputation has an impact on how various characters and factions see you, and can open some doors and close others throughout your playthrough.

Depravity[edit]

Depravity increases when the player character does things that are degrading or gross. Some characters will avoid you, look down on you, or otherwise find you repulsive if you have a reputation for being depraved. If not regularly increased, depravity slowly goes down over time as people forget about your latest scandals and new subjects come into the rumor mill.

Increasing Depravity[edit]

  • Urinate and masturbate in public.
  • Have sex with gropers and molesters.
  • Say "yes" to everything.

Decreasing Depravity[edit]

  • Avoid doing being lewd in public.
  • Punish gropers and molesters.
  • Say "no" sometimes, especially to things that sound over-the-top or gross.

Skill[edit]

Performing well in encounters and generally having a lot of sex will improve the player character's reputation for being a skilled lover. Characters may seek out the player character specifically and even go to great lengths to get a shot with her.

Unlike depravity, skill is rather hard to decrease, so generally you don't have to worry about it eroding much.

Increasing Skill[edit]

  • Get good performance ranks in encounters.
  • Give partners what they ask for.
  • Seduce people.

Decreasing Skill[edit]

  • Get bad performance ranks in encounters.
  • Don't give partners what they want.

Notoriety[edit]

When the player character breaks the law or is caught naked or performing indecent acts in public, her notoriety will increase. If her notoriety increases too much, she'll eventually be arrested and thrown in the dungeon or stocks. Notoriety cannot be decreased unless you are arrested.

Increasing Notoriety[edit]

  • Perform overt lewd acts in public.
  • Leave home nude or walk around dirty.
  • Steal or otherwise break the law.

Decreasing Notoriety[edit]

  • Your notoriety will reset once you are arrested and punished.
