I guess it's possible to reach -23 confidence without adjusting variables, but that's just 1 of many scenes stored behind low confidence; the rest of which Im sure are unreachable without cheating. There's simply no way to even come near -100 confidence without editing it.

Good on you for discovering the reachable path, but I'm saying there's more behind this made completely unreachable.
I did read that dev announcement; my money is on an extension of the Paul stuff since IMO to the unaquainted player that's the hardest path to stumble upon organically - specifically the scene where you give wife vodka to help "take care of him and make him leave" - I'm guessing that scene will be expanded.
