No, that's just one view, people don't all want this. I strongly agree with you that some side stories & characters need to be shut down & written out but some people, (me included), want Sophia to have grown-up relationships. She is an adult after all. Incest is popular, especially with young teens, I get that & the Dev has to make a living but this story has already spent way too much time messing around with kids, including her own & especially Dylan. Incest is not only of no interest to me, it's a boring turn-off.
I don't advocate abandoning incest (even it this were still possible, I don't try & deny others their fun) but I do wish for a better, fairer distribution of game time. If I was to adopt your approach I would say, 'to hell with the kids.' So, Morello, the casino, Larry & the prison are not IMO side stories but a route where Sophia is not bound by her usual societal norms. There's no point in having branching storylines if this was to become just another incest fest, of which the gaming world is over-stocked. If this game is to be saved from itself the fans of different approaches need to advocate for faster updates & less characters/side stories, rather than hammer down on each others favourite kinks.
First, I'm not pro-incest, I'm very anti-incest and had many an argument on this forum over incest in past, however, I don't see step relations as incest.
Second, you misunderstand what my point is and actually said the same thing I was saying, I said the side stories are dragging AWAM down and they are, something you agreed on and I'm pointing out that there is too many of them and now we have Deshawn and visits to a sauna and prison visits to add to what we already have.
I picked the casino story as personally think it should be scrapped, I wasn't saying there shouldn't be any side stories at all, although realize after reading back it could have been read that way.
I'm also pointing out the truth, most people like the lesbian side of AWAM or the side with Dylan/Sam/Zach/Aiden, everything else is gravy and too much gravy can ruin the meal. Updates should be as following:
- Dylan or friends circle event
- lesbian event
- side story event
I don't have an issue with maybe one update featuring 2 lesbian events or 2 Dylan/friends events.
I'm pointing out we want to see things followed up more quickly, its been ages since the bikini show with Dylan/Sam and it most likely will be ages until the prison scene is followed up or the sauna scene is followed up.
There already a number of side stories with other characters and now we have sauna visits, prison visits, that's two more side stories with 2 new characters. That will slow down seeing the main content we all want to see, no matter what it is we all want to see, it going be delayed even more now and it's frustrating.
I realize in-game, this is only day 19 but L&P needs to remember that AWAM is taken years and people aren't going wait forever for the content they want.
I also realize that Sophia was certainly more frisky in this update and it should be with adults first, that was interesting to see but as I said, its time to pull the trigger and regularly provide the content people want to see.
