Alright, that clears up some things. Not increasing the bow damage is probably the right call. It already felt too good even when I accidentally moved towards enemies.
Fun Fact: I played Torchligh 1 much more than any other DD many years ago, but that was also with a ranged character. I don't actually remember how the game played though.
I also expect my game to be more confusing, than yours, so I look forward to your feedback. I guess not putting any adult content in early development has some good sides too. For future reference the adult content is going to be optional, so playing it shouldn't be a problem in future even if you are not into lewd content.
