And I bet its not like your previous runs were "disorganized" its probably more of at least in my case forgetting wtf I was going for all small choices I made
Yooo! That's pretty much it. It's gotten to point that I have to write that shit down. LOL.
There are just so many goddamn things you could do differently but no way to track them and they don't really amount to much other than maybe a different render at best and a few lines of dialogue at worst.
An example:
If you choose Sarah for hottest ass, choose her over Mel at the Prep's party, hook up with her after ditching class, and tell Quinn you like her the best you actually get a small dialogue change with her in Ep 8 at the dorm party. Talking about how the MC's really into her and how she's not that type of girl.
It's cool but come on. DPC can say there are no Main LIs but you know nothing serious is going to develop with ALL of the characters. It'd just make his life a whole lot harder to have that much specific branching and yet, small glimpses are there. Why? Also, I CAN'T just leave it be. It's seriously like easter egg hunting. Only I'm not shooting aliens in the meantime. I'm playing BADIK for the 90th time.
You gotta respect the guy for creating such a behemoth but all those small choices to keep track of just make me feel reluctant to pick it back up. He obviously put them in there because he wants you to replay the VN multiple times and not just for the Main LIs. But damn, it's just a daunting-ass task to play through that much content again and again for slight changes.
Fuck. At least let us know what the damn hidden variables are or something like "Choose the options from Season 1, etc. if you don't want to play through all that shit again", ya bastard. Rather than replayability, it just kind of waters down the whole experience for me or feel jaded with the whole thing. It'd definitely be a QoL feature that's badly needed for this colossus of a game over some ... feature within a feature on the phone feature thing he talked about before. I don't fucking know.
Anyway, that's just me venting. You don't have to read all that. But I am serious about that last QoL thing. I feel like his own official walkthrough doesn't even cover half of the shit you could do differently.
