The example you gave of Sergey's reaction to finding out she cheats etc is exactly the point and desired outcome. There are actual consequences involved. The internal struggle of whether it's worth the risk, what could be lost if caught, going along with being blackmailed and how far to go etc are what make the cheating dynamic interesting. I guess the easiest thing would be to just not make the bf so incompetent. Obviously he will have many flaws and reasons for her to be nudged to cheat but it shouldn't be such an easy decision to the point where literally everyone wants it because he's so useless.Andrew as you say correctly, is a plot device. He's the guy she cheats on, that's his main function in the game. And he was set up to be unlikeable from the start. Getting rid of him is a problem, because then if the cheating aspect of the game is to continue, Anna has to start a relationship with one of the likely love interests, and then start cheating on them. And that's a problem, because say Sergey for instance, wouldn't put up with it, and unlike Andrew he's not stupid and he would find out about it. And that would mean she couldn't end up with Sergey, which would eliminate one of the main routes in the game.
The way the game is set up she can't get seriously involved, with anyone but Andrew, until most of the main plotlines have played themselves out. Until there's a cure for her condition, and she can choose to either have it, and therefore have a reasonable chance of resisting temptation and choose not to cheat in future. Or ignore it, and continue down the rabbit hole, to wherever that takes her, and presumedly continue being a slut.
If we do what you suggest, then there is no redemption for Anna. She carries on being a slut, and cheats on everybody she gets involved with. Now some people may want that, and will choose to play Anna that way till the end of the game. But some will want Anna to find love before the end of the game, and that's why she can't be in a position to cheat on other guys. Because that would eliminate love with some of them, before it had a chance to blossom. And that's why Andrew has to carry on as her boyfriend, for the forseeable future, because he's the custom made fallguy
At this point it's hard to imagine her not carrying on and being a slut. It's stated multiple times she 'can't go back to her old self' etc so her somehow deciding to be faithful to one person now is a bit of a stretch as she goes further and further down the rabbit hole and given how much influence so many people seem to have over her. I mean the porn star and escort parts JUST started lol.
Either way just my opinion and not expecting any changes just having discussion but still a fan of the game and enjoy it and thankful to the dev!
