7. DnG in EP6 took only 350 renders. It's only about 11% of whole episode. Do you personally exchange such thing on some "extra" free roam event or some kind of mini party, for example?
I can't speak for him, but I'd trade the DnG for a few extra scenes with the main girls any time, these scenes don't have to drive the main story or be sexual, just a nice interaction with a certain LI. Like guitar lesson with Sage at the HOTS backyard after the end of Hell Week, or sitting on a bench with Quinn, or something like that.
350 renders is what many devs would consider to be good performance for a month of work. And what does a DnG session add, besides the lewds with Sally and the annoying change of story setting? I could live with that if it was a plot device, to naturally bond with the nerd girls for example, but so far it looks like a waste of time.
EDIT: Okay, maybe I jumped to conclusions, I read your original post on the topic, and it's a quite interesting take on DnG as an allegory for the main story events. But I'll still fast-forward it on every playthrough
