Exactly. A lot of plot points in the game are unnecessarily dragged out and it's very stupid in my opinion. The only thing that it leads to is disappointment from the players in the end and the MC most of the time resembling more and more of a retard as the episodes advance.
That is overall my main issue with the whole game.
But well, other things can make up for it, and there arent many games around here that have a good plot that gets me hooked. And being a dik has several plots that gets me hooked... so yeah... i can kinda "overlook" about the stupidity here and there, but its always bugging me.
