Yeah, we think alike on some things. I figured as well, that any sexual interaction that Sophia may have with the older folks would be more out of compassion (sympathy as you put it) rather than lust on her part. And I fully agree about it being a shame that he's having to create multiple storylines to appease a certain audience and thus adding more length to an already long trek ahead. But On the bright side, I'm sure those alternate storyilnes will be worth a play through as well, even if not preferred. You seem like a very reasonable player, and we'll be getting along just fine.
Cheers brother
