I personally like being able to choose between avoiding enemies or hunting down every last one, depending on remaining goals - so I hope that part isn't changed.
Though to note on the affliction and "lust less dangerous" - I had the opposite experience. One of my characters got afflicted with an affliction requiring 150 satisfaction to clear - that basically took her out of commission for the rest of the dungeon. (orgasm gives 20 satisfaction each turn - so at best that's 8 whole turns of <3 ing off, and that command isn't always available. )
... so it really depends on just which affliction you get.
