L&P could have & possibly could still get around this by giving Aiden time to think up & plan 'good' tasks, like the art class. I relish the idea of him conspiring with the likes of Xavier. He's only supposed to be 17-18 & though rich & connected, not that likely to be all that sophisticated when it comes to such things. It's one of the reasons I used to hope Bennett would be fully restored, to add an adult, experienced dimension to blackmail. If Aiden did have help & the tasks were really entertaining & erotic, (ref. the art class), then I could be better reconciled to losing Bennett. Why wouldn't Aiden want to keep Sophia on the hook for as long as possible, after all? Has he got anything better to do in that school year?I've been saying this too. The apostles storyline is unrealistic because of how he wrote the scene. Personally I have no problems with how far Sophia goes in a scene or with a character as long as it is kept logical or believable. Example how Deshawn gets to see what Sam is yet to see even after so many days. He rushed the apostles which is the Storyline's biggest downfall.
Dylan's storyline is paced well. It is the only male storyline that I actually enjoy playing. Aiden's storyline also but that is basically because I have a thing for task based dynamics.
I know he didn't mention a time table but Aiden's task happen everyday. Even in the roadmap he gave when the time skip was applicable Aiden's tasks continued everyday from Monday to Friday. So that's where I base my assumption that the storyline is actually getting in the way for time jumps. Also it would look weird if Aiden's tasks were spread out once a week or even further. Since other Storylines will take jumps, in order to keep with them Aiden too would need the skips leading to scenarios where there are no tasks for two weeks, creating a logic hole of why Aiden is not asking Sophia to do anything. If the tasks are kept closeby then Sophia's corruption would become disproportionate to the whole story.
As with some other issues (I may have mentioned from time to time), I was slightly surprised by the reaction, or lack of it, to the proposed premature ending of Bennett's contribution. What there was seemed to be a celebration & I understand this from the perspective of those who hate blackmail, even though it was always avoidable anyway. I expected this but apart from me, there didn't seem to be much of a counterpoint. Indulge me for a moment & imagine what would happen if it was announced that one the incest paths was to be cut short very soon, (in AWAM terms in 2-3 years time)....imagine.
This time jump concept, for me, is a winner. It should be implemented ASAP.
