I began posting comments about AWAM in November 2018. It was such a favourite that I stopped playing almost every other game. Since that time it has become unplayable for me. Those not turned on by incest, who don't relish, (a polite understatement) the 2nd MC situation & can't accept the total trashing of the Sam route are joined by me, who fits into all of the above & has also seen every route & character of interest written out, or placed into indefinite limbo, which, given the pace of development, is effectively the same thing.
Sophia has changed out of all recognition both mentally & physically, (along with Dylan) & NO it's got nothing to do with her ongoing corruption. She's not only ballooned to Jessica Rabbit cartoon proportions but her personality has become gradually & inexorably less likeable, as well as juvenile. What it all relates to I well understand but that's not the subject of this comment. I almost hesitate to write more, because the Dev usually takes decisions & makes changes directly contrary my views. That's something that's gone on for so long, it's become predictable.
Ending the 2 side jobs would be, IMO & from my POV, (if it's true), the best decision L&P has made in years. I harbour no illusions that this has come about because of continuous suggestions, in the interest of speeding up or whatever, from the likes of me. Side job roles & specifications, as chosen, could have been better & once decided upon, could have been more believable but it wasn't to be. I'd be glad to see the back of them both.
F95 has, on occasion, been known to censor comments via complete post deletion, or removal of certain words, so I'll have to choose mine carefully but I think the slang term, "kiddy-fiddling" should cover it, or should that be the 'porn-acceptable' "shota?" This activity simply didn't fit into AWAM. Each shota event felt as though it had been written by a different Dev, using a different Sophia, however unbelievably her character had altered elsewhere in the tale. Despite it being the Dev's favourite kink, the route also felt rushed, in comparison to the rest of AWAM's famous snail's pace. There are 3 apostles for a blatant reason, (yet more schoolboy wish fulfilment, or just more teasing & blue-balling? 'Oooo, just think what could happen,' a L&P common tactic) but regardless of whether they're playing tricks or not, nothing about the saga is logical. As for me, speaking as someone who played the 1st side job, then the 2nd, (stopping when it wasn't what was hoped for), then the 1st again, it could vanish. I don't need a wrap-up. It could disappear in the manner in which my followed storylines did. No conclusion could be logical in a story which never had any logic to it in the first place.
Then there's the 2 old codgers, who've bought a naughty nurse outfit for Sophia to oblige & entertain them with, by wearing it. We've already seen that it's an especially tacky version of one of the western world's favourite cosplay/fancy dress costumes & is also well-used in the 3D porn world. Why would Sophia do this, when being caught means instant dismissal for gross misconduct, with the public disgrace & loss of earnings that entails? That care home is not a secret location. ['It's her inner exhibitionist being brought out because of her corruption. She's been liberated sufficiently to express her wild side. She enjoys tantalising old men, etc., etc.' & other less than satisfactory bollocks]. It's about as believable as being turned on by Dylan showing her arse to a club full of people. It's 'porn logic gone mad.'
Elimination of the side jobs would have no impact on any other part of AWAM. Whether they have to go because of Steam's approach to shota, or it's just to start the necessary trimming, because at last L&P has realised "something must be done," (or both), or something else, just let them go.
