Bennett has for a long time been relegated to a distant side-line as a character of no importance. He had great potential but the outcry at his inclusion & the very idea of blackmail, several years ago, was such that he was dropped & will only have a final walk-on part, if he's ever seen again. This was, after all, supposed to be all about a virgin boy & how he got to to fuck his own mother, not some twisted, conniving, manipulative blackmailer....oh, the moral outrage. It was just not to be tolerated for our lady on a pedestal. How could L&P stoop so low?
So, back in a time when the Dev was more open to fan influence, Bennett disappeared, to the extent that he hasn't been seen or heard of for years & isn't in the polls. I remember L&P saying he didn't know what to do with him. What a waste of a character & storyline. This was to be the first of several. If AWAM was to be rewritten he could be removed entirely & because the adult blackmail premise has been ruined, I'd personally prefer it if he was officially written out of AWAM now, by getting a better job at another school. Why waste time bringing him back at all?
Aiden is different, insofar as he's due to return with a full programme of tasks but that's currently at least 5 years in the future. Immersion in the story of school-based blackmail has been comprehensively eradicated for fans following that path. It's not only doubtful whether he'll ever be seen again but if he was to come back after 5-6 years, (2-3 days in San Alejo time), again I'd have to ask, why bother with this stuff now, when it's been gone for so long? Where else would a plot move at such a pace but AWAM, so slowly that it wrecks any continuity or anticipation? Why bother including storylines only in order to trash them, albeit with excellent renders?
It would be preferable to re-think the game solely in terms of Dylan & his longing for coitus with his mother. It's a route that's already taken over the next few years. Why not let him succeed soon & this travesty could be wrapped up, in short order, while most of us are still alive. L&P is so obviously demotivated that I doubt whether he can carry on with this for the next few decades. [A ridiculous idea, in any case]. I know this sounds negative & it is but AWAM has deteriorated to a level where a faster ending could only be a positive thing.
