Thanks for the summary. Flipping tables actually does feel very emporing ;)

How do i know, what enemies I would expect from a goddes quest?
And is there a way to know in advance how strong and dbilitating the restraints are that the goddess puts on me when I start the quest?

Which weapons are useful for which enemies and other tasks? I think, the hammer can destroy some doors and rubble.
Is unarmed actually viable? I often end up not being able to hold a weapon. Fighting back in that state seems somewhat futile (I tried, but didn't have any of those unarmed-.related perks).
Given the reputation loss when actually killing instead of capturing, does using actual weapons instead of chains (which somehow seem to not be real weapons, but make enemies captureable) even make sense?

Is armor actually good? I can't see the stats in the shoppe without buying stuff. But the chainmail bikini seemed to be malus-free while some other chainmail stuff was somewhat restrictive (not much, but still).

In some ancient letsplay, the player dodges basically every attack. Is that still possible and something I should try to do?
The video also suggests that clearing the entire level before opening or touching anything is the way to go. And summons seem to expire after a few turns.
Are there other role model videos or even tutorials?

And because I just got completely taped by one... how to deal with drone swarms? They seem to be absolutely kicking ass and they are fast.

Is capturing enemies the best way to make money? Or is finding one that likes you and let them put restraints on you that you then sell to the shoppe better? Both come with massive risks. I think, I need lots of money to buy lockpicks and bribe goddesses.

Each goddess only has one quest. Latex is always alchemists and latex cubes, rope is always a giant animated rope, metal is always robots etc. They don't apply any bindings by default, but with Bound Crusader they'll pick 2-3 random restraints that are associated with that god (it's listed in the item descriptions).

You're overthinking weapon selection, just find any melee weapon that deals decent damage for a reasonable SP cost. Swords are the most efficient overall and spears have the most OP gimmick, but as long as you're not meleeing people with a bow or something you'll generally be fine. Unarmed is a last resort.

Don't worry about losing rep for killing enemies, if a faction starts out hostile they're probably going to stay that way.

Armor does reduce damage somewhat, but the real benefit is that each piece protects you against one binding attempt. All torso armor has some kind of downside, but skirts, pauldrons and leather gloves/boots are free. Yes it looks goofy, that's why there's a setting to hide your armor.

All attacks are dodgeable as long as you have room to maneuver. Pay attention to the warning boxes.

There is a pretty decent in-game tutorial, if you weren't aware. It's the leftmost portal in the starting area.

By drones, are you talking about the Ancient Guardians drones or the Nevermere drones? The ancient drones can be drawn out and picked off like any other enemy. Wolf drones are summons, meaning your main priority should be to snipe the summoner. If they summon too many, just run away until they start despawning. (That being said, it's usually easier to just avoid starting any fights with Nevermere in the first place.)

Your main income streams come from defeating enemies and selling their dropped loot, ransoming enemies gets you almost nothing and intentionally getting tied up is terribly inefficient (the items are usually locked). You don't really need to buy more than two or three lockpicks from the shop, you can get plenty just by looting the random shiny spots on the ground.
