Suggestion: allow a native option for all story character to be obtained as slaves or subordinates

Hello!

I know this might sound strange, but I'm sure there's other people out there playing this game and feeling like me.

So currently:
A character can be a SUB(subordinate) or a SL(slave).
Story character can become your SUB or SL depending on the choices you've made.

I, like many people, always set out to explore different options, but always end up with a stealth archer build...
I mean, I always end up playing as a benevolent master, I try to win the story characters over with kindness, so I choose the 'good' options. Hope its clear.

So if you do that, if you choose the 'good' path, you end up with some story characters joining you as SUBs and some joining you as willing SLs.
And this is something that I have a problem with.

First of all, I just like uniformality, it just gets on my nerves when I cannot make ALL of them SUBs or ALL of them SLs in a native way.
(I know, I could choose different dialogue option and FORCE all of them to become SLs, but that wouldn't fit with the narrative of winning them over with kindness and etc.)
Secondly, currently SLs have an advantage over SUBs, since they get bonuses to their attributes if they're trained right - so this just adds to differences I would like to negate.

So this basically leaves me with no options.
I want to play the good path.
But I also want uniformality (I don't really care if its ALL SUBs or ALL SLs, I just want one or the other to be available while still remaining on the good path).

I know it might be hard to grasp for someone not as mentally ill as I am, but I hope I explained it well enough.
I am also okay if there would just be a native workaround - like the shrine  - although currently shrine does not convert unique characters.
Maybe that could be allowed? Or better yet - maybe there could be another shrine introduced for that? A more powerful one, harder to get.
Maybe some alternative tool?

Or another way?
Like gaining freedom for SL->SUB in arena?
Or same through marriage (obviously, I would have to marry all of them at once, I hope that's allowed too)?

Thanks a lot!

I'd suggest making it a mod option. If I were to make an option to free Daisy from slavery she would run away right after that.

Would she though?
If she already decided to stay after I fought the guy who stolen her (Hector)?
At this point she is in love with the master, so I don't see a reason for her to run away.

The point is that after being slave for a whole life removing her slavery status is not going to make her happy

it's kinda like doing one thing for a VERY long time and it ends up messing you when it's gone or something, right?

You could put it in that way, keep in mind that Daisy basically knows nothing about the life outside of it.
