That said, maybe it could be justified as Xander subconsciously lowering some people's submissiveness traits. Xander does have the ability to alter stats with a thought now, and he probably expects to meet resistance. So, in order to meet that expected resistance, along with it feeling wrong to him to deny them their free will, he is subconsciously lowering not just Chris' but also everyone's submissiveness traits. (Probably Chris' a little more than the rest.) I actually DO approve of how it is written now from a writing quality standpoint. I'm just plot hole and suggesting a way to justify it.

I actually already considered this. My thought is that submissiveness, along with all of the others, would be subjective statistics. Maxed out just means that they are at the maximum level of that quality for the kind of person that they are. Chris is at maximum submissiveness for Chris, which is not enough for him to quickly roll over on a life-long held belief. This is how he would talk to someone with authority over him if confronted. It a similar manner, a sociopathic serial killer with maxed out love might feel the tiniest twinge of regret after killing you when he would normally feel no regret at all. It's all relative. Normal Chris without the enhanced submissiveness would be tearing into Xander rather than calmly trying to show him how he is wrong. At least that's how I see the stats. If Xander wanted utter obedience he would need to decrease the target's confidence and a whole host of other qualities that I am too tired to get into right now. Anyway the rationalization was going to be the next part I wrote, but it's hard to find the time. --[[User:Elerneron|Elerneron]] ([[User talk:Elerneron|talk]]) 14:53, 12 April 2018 (CEST) | |||

Hmmm.... I can sorta see Chris's attitude rationalized as being like that despite the maxed-out trust, the trust could be interpreted as him deciding Xander has the best of intentions and thus avoid him getting angry despite him not believing Xander, however I really am having a hard time buying that he would act this way with maxed out submissiveness. (Once again, this is why I don't like the maxed-out relation stats routes. It doesn't allow for interactions to be quite as interesting.)
