It's not a soccer game btw, but American Football. Liam has no interest in soccer. That's one of the things that makes Liam's neglect of Dylan's upbringing so striking.Yeah, stuff liked that seemed to make a bigger difference under the original plan, but once the rules were changed to simplify the scoring system, gaining those two points doesn't make any difference.
Of all my criticisms for L&P, this is one where I can see it as an honest mistake not worthy of being critical over. The balance between the filthy/GW points never really seemed to work. Without major events (Sophia forgiving Liam at the soccer game) players are pretty much locked into their paths at this point. I guess you could be one of those players that tries to keep neutral, but I feel like all that's going to do is make you miss content on both paths.
There needed to be a better balance between the two paths so that players could get pushed and pulled in both directions. This would add greater weight to their decisions. For me, I could choose GW paths for the next three releases and I would still be on the positive side of Filthy points.
I don't think the balance is that off. I'm only on about 30 Filthy points, since that's all you need for the lesbian route. Personally, now that the Morello route has started, I'm actually curious if I can choose the GW events from now on, since the day 18 sex scene with Liam is the first time you can actually choose sex with Liam on the Ellie/Patricia route. And the route isn't dependant on Sophia wanting alternate sources of dick, like it appears the Dylan and Sam routes may eventually require. With the corresponding high Filthy point values.
