Is their any plans to have a status above slave in the future? Even in the original Strive for Power, you could at least rank up a character from a slave to a noble. It may be my unpopular opinion, but it feels like a staple to this series of games is  being removed with just Master and all slaves, because now if say for example: I save and recruit Cali, instead of taking advantage of her at first meeting, there's no real difference in if she'd be there willingly or not if made a slave. Then their's the Marriage aspect, I thought that was a great addition along with having an Heir, my only issue with that was that the Heir symbol was that of a slave. I had thought that might have been changed over time but now, what's the point? If my wife is still a slave, my children would still be considered slaves, it seems a bit...depressing... Sorry, I don't mean to sound preachy, or like "You're not doing what I like, therefor it's bad", but status has been a main part of this series of game and it suddenly just being taken out seems counter to what was originally made and established.

What my view to this is: Difference between Peon and Slave was not really substantial and most people ignored it. The idea behind 'Slave' status now is that its just someone belonging to the mansion. But we could add sort of different statuses to the wife/maybe some unique characters, but the new loyalty subclasses have been the main focus of the character specialization part.

Well, in that sense,  that's fair. Maybe remove the "- is your slave and must follow your orders by law" text and change the whip icon as well then, because that's jarring to i'm guessing the 3% of us players trying to not have actual slaves in the manor if we weren't specifically trying to be a slave owner.
