Well, a good game also needs elements that are more or less forced upon a player, otherwise no good story can develop. The idea of simply switching off everything you don't like would only lead to AWAM being a bunch of side stories that have no connection to each other. I think that would be pretty boring.I tried but I can't play this game, I wanted MC's relationship with just Dilan and the Daughter and the other women, but I saw in the walkthrough that I'm forced to accept Aiden's contract, otherwise Dilan will go to boarding school and there's no story with him, I hate games that force me to do things I don't want, I want games that give me a solution to not do what I don't like and let me do what I want. "Jessincheck" style game that leaves me free to play the type of game I want without forcing myself to do anything.
Yes, I know that many will criticize and say that it's whining and I don't have to throw that out or say that, but I'm just giving my opinion and everyone has their own, just respect it and we live in PEACE
I don't see the problem with Aiden in the connection to the story with Dylan, but in the fact that Aiden simply comes across as far too implausible as a villain. Aiden doesn't really have any serious power, but acts as if the whole world has to be subservient to him. There are endless possibilities for Sophia to take away Aidens influence on Dylan and make the whole story fall apart. The idea that Sophia would agree to a whole series of increasingly absurd tasks just doesn't fit. Well, I think it would have been better to have only one bad guy in AWAM and here I would have seen this mafia boss type who at least halfway comes across as someone who has power.
Ultimately, a game that has so many people playing it can't have the ideal story for everyone. I think a little flexibility is required here.
