To clarify a little. I was referring to the intrigue not at Sam's concert, I was talking about an interesting development of events in the evening on the day of the concert!What someone wears is secondary in terms of clothes being absolutely vital for humans only to provide cover against the elements. When it comes to the information they convey they are not secondary. If they were, uniforms would not have been an essential & life saving/preserving invention. There's no stubborness from the likes of me possible because we've no choice in the matter, if we wish to continue the Sam route. It's "like it or lump it" time....again. That there is no alternative to the romper, has been established, via a conditional poll & two spoilers, so I'm not flogging a dead horse in the mistaken impression things could change for the better. I know they won't, just as I know that the only change we'll see to Sophia's bust, if any, would be yet another increase, (retro-fitted, I know...she's 'always' looked like that in the San Alejo universe).
I do make the point, however, that I feel this is a tipping point, where the last of the realism will either be ditched altogether, whatever the Dev may believe, OR, this could be the apogee, (or nadir rather), of the dumbing down process & we could be blessed with a reboot in a future update. You can probably guess which one I think is the most likely.
I'm well into grumpy old git, or even old lady mode, because I hope that L&P will not abandon entirely, his original vision, as it seems to be happening right in front of my eyes. You couldn't very well miss those "points to watch out for."
On a related note, I'm actually hoping that we don't arrive at a completely realistic scenario with this event. This isn't a contradiction in terms, or my tired mind turning in on itself, rather it's a hope springing from the sure knowledge of what could have happened in some of the venues I've known, if two gorgeous unaccompanied women had walked in dressed in such a style. Sam by the way & even his band, are not the 'dates' of the sisters. Even if they were, there'd be a good chance of them becoming irrelevant very quickly, yet hopefully still being capable of phoning emergency services.
Dressed in the rock chick outfit, Sophia would have stopped the conversation when she walked into the bar. What came next would be very politically incorrect but transitory. Dressed in the romper ..... .... .... .... That's where I came in. That's why I'm still hoping for something, anything...
The evening includes many events, not just a concert.
Probably, something will happen at the concert itself, which will add dirt points for Sofia. It is also likely that the points of the sisters ' relationship will also increase.
Next, Liam and Sofia will need to get to Andy and Katie's apartment. We do not know how this will happen, whether they will go together or separately.
No matter how they go, someone has to deliver Sofia to Liam's house or directly to the apartment.
Who could it be? It doesn't matter now, we are fully aware of the possibility of a few options.
Then the evening continues in the apartment of old friends.
Again, we understand that what is happening there probably has some options or there are no alternatives! Everything that should happen there will happen anyway, without our choice.
But the evening does not end there, Liam and Sofia must get home. How will they get home? By taxi or someone will give them a ride to the house? Or maybe they will stay the night in the apartment of their friends?
The interweaving and interconnection of all these events is the main intrigue of the evening, and not just Sam's concert! That's what I meant.
And please keep in mind that we expect some progress in the game, which brings the player-reader closer to the culmination of this wonderful game.
