There's something I don't understand. If he's removing the side jobs, will it be in PD14 or in their next meeting? Will we get to see the shota kids and Old farts one last time or is he going to just dismiss them as if nothing happened ? With what kind of scenario will he come up with in order to close those doors without things feeling rushed ?
In the end, 3D realism will always hit a wall. He's starting to realize that all those side-quests are TOO time-consuming, BUT, will this choice really speed up the main course? Not sure about that...
