Why does it generally seem only FEMALE pc's are "useful" in this
manner, despite (rare) male PC's identical stats and skills? Isn't
sexism suposed to be a dead issue in SR? Our male "interactions
specialist" finds few "useful" NPC female (or homosexual) targets to
seduce, despite the "actual" portions being about 45% (and 5-10%),
IIRC. :(
A lot of fun is the skill "deviant psycology" coupled with a
"Madam"
contact who will hook you up with "special" clients. Well, at least,
its USEFUL. Really. Thats all I meant.... and its "classic"
cyberpunk, too, so don't blame me.
