While I agree in principle, that there is a serious progression on the Dylan path and it would be normally enough, we have to remember it is in a game which has become a meme for being just a tad quicker moving than a flat-lining ER patient.I was pretty happy with the progression of the Dylan event. For me, I feel that less was more, and the understated acceptance and encouragement Sophia had towards Dylan was a substantive change. Sophia accepting and enjoying Dylan's kneading her butt was a huge step. If we think about it more broadly, we know that Playable Day 13 has a ton of Dylan content, and I think he is now setup nicely to make major gains with Sophia. The event in the park will probably be the moment the door really opened for Dylan, and on Playable Day 13 the door will fly wide-open. I think from here out we should expect significant advancement of the Dylan story.
I agree that, when you compare it to the tutoring story, the Dylan storyline still remains behind schedule, but since I don't play that route it doesn't bother me. If we consider where Dylan was at the end of Playable Day 11 to where he is now, there has been nice movement.
My wife jokes that our eldest will tell us how AWAM ended when she visits us in the retirement home and just for the record, our Eldest is four!
But that is just our cynism coming through, because neither my wife nor I believe that AWAM will ever get finished, unless some serious and wideranging changes in development are made. And it does not look like change is on the horizon in that area.
So even if changes are made, the Dylan jogging event is two steps forward one back and the teaching side-arc was and is completely superfluous.
