Since we're talking about a relatively low-tech setting, would it be the right move to just castrate then? In that case, the system could just check to make sure they actually have balls before checking pregnancy.
Since sterilization is damaging and traumatic, and abortion is either that or toxic, it seem appropriate.
Hmmm, you make a good point about it not really fitting with the vibe of the game. Maybe if the sterilize service worked on males. The details aren't mentioned (thankfully) so its not gonna to seem that out of context.
If castration killed sex drive and got rid of perks like sex crazed, that would be an interesting mechanic.
Good thoughts. I think we definitely run into "game" vs "simulation" at that point.
On on hand, Sterilize doesn't cause any long-term problems for females to date, so it would be odd balance-wise to have it cause long-term effects for males.
OTOH, the whole idea is "no preggo", so just making it a mirror to the females' Sterilize is conceptually sound.
I was just suggesting a way to fit it into theme, but you're right, IRL that carries some long-term consequences, so I'm not sure it's the right idea.
