See, even if she warned Sophia about roaming the streets doesn't mean that Sophia should lock herself up in the house or go out only with 5 people guarding her. There were people out at night. The bus station did, only the subway was empty, hence clearly something normal. She was carrying her pepper spray, she could have had the gun but that was too much for her.
All of those options require work, extra renders firstly, more work on coding and all of them inconsequential because the crux is Sophia gets home safe without any trouble with ruffians or she has trouble. The one option where she did not have trouble is her own vehicle, now even if he had adds 20 more options to take Sophia home safely doesn't do anything for the story except waste time and this what we all will then nag at him about saying this wasn't needed.
If by any chance he did that it would also be setting a standard, people will expect similar multiple choices in other events too. Which not only makes the game development a lot more complex but extremely slow as well. Your point of it being his choice will always remain because even if there are 10 options they are all his choice of giving to you. If you still want a 11th you can't have it.
I don't remember him giving clothing choices in the game for Sophia expect for Aiden's 2nd task where she has two outfits based on the storyline. But is that a choice when the other dress basically means no scene, just 5 renders and you're done with that dress. Also the patron poll is not of discussion here. The dress seems unrealistic to wear to such a place to most, we were talking about what is realistic or not, not about how to award patrons.
As for issues, I have many many issues if I get down to it but everyone already criticizes him so much I don't want to do that to him anymore.
With honesty this game is already far from what a real world approach for an educated conservative married woman would be. I just tell myself that in the context of the game it is not ludicrous as most games are. For some scenes I just assume that maybe somewhere someplace someone might actually take that approach.
Humans are unpredictable afterall. Any act I can imagine must have already been done by someone somewhere in this world. On a grand scale of things if even one person in this world has done something then it's no longer unrealistic. Plus realism is way too subjective.
I have said this before and I'll just repeat it.
Something that I might consider unrealistic or unbelievable might have been a reality someone has lived. Just because I can't believe it doesn't mean that some other person has not experienced it.
As long as L&P in this story can convincingly write the situation I'll accept it. Example - the Julia scene from a real world perspective is unthinkable. A girl confused about her sexual feelings is provided comfort by an educated teacher and mother in such a manner by allowing sensual sensory play Infront of her daughter, but all in all the interaction at no point was ridiculous, he was able to somehow justify the scene and that's all I care for.
