Wow. I'm offline for, what, 24 hours, and look at the discussions I've missed! I just spent half an hour reading the two main threads.

Anyway...

I might even let her control the husband - some wives do that
As you mentioned HBO's Rome series, it would be great if I could play a "Servilia" or "Atia" who's controlling a puppet senator. So I'd get a female avatar (just the standard "wife" avatar will do for me, it's not that important), but it will be linked to a male senator, who will speak for me. Lol, sounds like fun.
