Strumpet explanation

[Overlich]

Hey,

can you explain me guys, if my wife is a strumpet does that mean she cheated on me or is this some stigma when she did produce a lot of children?

IIRC that's the modifier for when someone is publicly rejected in a Seduction.

[kaiyl_kariashi]

it's not full on adultary, but it is seen as improperly flirty.

[CrUsHeR]

To eloborate, if a character tries to seduce you, you get an event - depending on your personality, you might get 3 choices:

A) accept advances (might only lead to "budding romance", which is neither a tumble nor lover relationship yet)

B) denounce advances publicly (leads to strumpet and iirc opinion changes for your and the seducers partners)

C) politely decline ( + piety)


So this means that she evidently tried to seduce someone and failed. Conclusions from this are up to you.

[Overlich]

Thanks for the clarification to you all. It's funny when this happens despite being soulmates. The cheating goes out of hand in this game a bit :D

It should at last let you know who she tried seducing and got rejected by.

There should be some kind of deterrence for this behavior too.
For instance, if I've beheaded or burned alive a previous adulterous wife.. would my next REALLY consider cheating?

Faaaccctssss. For real!!! I always said that too! There should also be a deterrence for that kind of behaviour especially when your daughters and other female characters see that your characters beheads fornicator females and adulterous females. Every time a female commits adultery or fornication I send them directly to my dungeons where they spend the rest of their lives and don't get out and others... Well they just end up being tortured and behead or just spent the rest of their lives in captivity.

Also, you would think because your religion considers those traits crimes, that should also affect the behaviour of the female characters so that they can be scared and be less likely to commit adultery and fornication. But currently they just act like dummies and continue to do adultery and fornication like as if they had no punishments and consequences. This is why CK3 needs al of of improvements, bit they just get offended. Criminal behaviour has to be deterred especially when knowing that it is a crime and religion doesn't accept those crimes and they have bad consequences.

Honor affects if your wife is doing hanky panky stuff.
Best traits Just, honest, content, forgiving etc. (or homosexual problem solved)
Worst traits ARBITRARY, Deceitful, lustful etc. Look for ck3 wiki for traits and how much they give positive or negative honor.
More than 50 honor your wife does not cheat however it does not block others trying to seduce your wife like endless wave of horny mayors and their 5% success spam).

I agree with you at 110%! Never marry a deceitful and or a lustful wife! A lustful wife will automatically cheat on you for no reason; a deceitful wife will always lie and an arbitrary wife will have -100 honour. Straight up facts. Honour is super important. Imprison the lustful and deceitful kinswomen.

A woman who would marry a guy who beheaded or burned alive all his previous wives isn't mentally sound. Don't expect logical behavior.

Dude, stop pleasing the developers.

All my wives are educated by me and I marry them as soon as they turn 16 years old with honorable traits: honest, just and temperate - and they are not lunatics - adultery and fornication are crimes and sins, and for many reason such as these, there must be a deterrence for adultery and fornication because they are dishonarable crimes. It's the way psychology works. In addition, after knowing that the player character burns, tortures and beheads women for that kind of behaviour, should even add more deterrence.

Meh. Overrated approach imho.

Being a sinful tyrant is better than a goody two shoes, but your mileage may vary. My wives and lovers all fear me (maxed dread), and being sadistic & with high intrigue I've never had a single problem, but if I did I would imprison them (I might anyway if bored of them) and stand to lose stress and gain insight/prowess for torturing & executing them. Get a new (younger) wife, rinse-repeat. It's a win-win. Bishop isn't my best mate or anything, but he knows where he is going to end up if he steps out of line too.
