Venus in Furs, Personal Problem

[Gerber Life Program]

In the side mission Venus in Furs you're FORCED to have sex with a character in the game. Normally this isn't a big deal for me but I wanted to be careful with how I approached sex in this game with my character. I already had to drop my Batman esc. no kill rule since all damage kills no matter what.I don't want to make my character into what CDPR wants, I want a choice to just take the weapon and leave. I don't even care if it's still a d***o.

Edit: I've posted several comments explaining further my side as to why I find this annoying.
I also have responded to several comments on the part of the post that mentions the non-lethal dmg killing. Please look at my responses before commenting since I may have gone over and answered something already. Please and Thank you.

Had the same issue, in my game V is gay and I didn't want to have sex with her. Just reloaded and will ignore now this mission, but I would also expect that a game like this should give an option to refuse Meredith's offer.

The quest was clearly an invitation for sex... You don't have to do it if you don't want to... Why are you even complaining...

You don't have to kill if you develop your hack skills. There are hacks that render people unconscious. That's the easiest way to deal with cyberpsychos. As for Venus in Furs, sometimes you have to take one for the team and you get the dildo club as a reward which is kind of cool in a creepy way.

You can have non-lethal weapons, it doesn't actually kill them, as the name implies.

only time i have killed with a Shock batton was after repeatedly hitting a downed foe. There is also a mod for you eyes that renders all attacks non lethal. and one for the guns too

There's literally a mod for your cybernetic implant that makes it so ALL your weapons do non-lethal damage

If you get a message from a woman that says "Come alone!" which is an invitation to a remote motel, and it doesn't ring any bells, then you're too young for this game. I knew how it is going to end the moment I received that message.

Granted, the way the old goat was dressed almost made me run away and hide. Even devs didn't want to do saggy tits and everything. I still proceeded and got what I came for. Hey, it's still sex, age isn't that important.

Not complaining, it just would be nice if there's a possibility to finish this "quest" without ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ her. Then there doesn't stay a permanently open quest in the journal.

I don't appreciate the age comment since I'm above the age the game is made for. Also you may want to consider that some people in fact aren't well versed in those things for several reasons. I don't know why you had to come here and low key insult me then complain about the looks of a fake person. It's not like I'm exploding on twitter or something on this I just want an option to say no.

I have that on and people still die left and right for me. I think it's something with the rag doll physics. If they don't fall straight onto their backs they explode into blood and instantly die. Maybe its something with my save or something, but its a problem I've had for a week or so now.

Thing is I thought the game would be more roleplay heavy so I tried to make my character relay very little on the quick hacks. On top of that I really don't like stealth in games very much, so I try to do every mission loud instead of sneaking around. In the end I just went and took a piss while they plowed and I just ignored it, but the fact you can't back out of it and even miss out on a surprisingly good melee weapon sucks.

If I don't except the quest I can't complete the game, something I like doing to show I like the game. I should at least be able to leave the room when I get their. Or say no to her which could be a funny scene where she gets mad I wasted her time and got her hopes up. Sure I didn't read the text she sent and just responded the nicest thing I saw. No matter what though options are very important for times like these.

My save might be glitched or something because no matter what mods I equip to me or my guns I end up killing everyone who doesn't get stealth takedowned. For me whenever someone enters a ragdoll state they instantly die if they don't land flat on their back. Since the default incapacitated animation is on their back. I don't want to have to kill every enemy in a very specific way every time I go loud in a mission.
