While there is definitely something to be said for always entering a room facing away from the entrance, that stops working so well when you can first enter a room from two different directions - either you have to have two views on the same room (which is more work and makes it harder to tell whether you've been in a given room before) or you need to avoid layouts where you can first enter a room from different directions.

It's all trade-offs, and there isn't a single best answer.

Well... Desinging mansions with only rooms with a single entrance wouldn't make his art any less noble, IMO.

Anyway, if room with multiple entrances are important to him he could use just one view of the room (more views would indeed make it complicate to identify them as multiple views of the same room) but adding some visual clue to let the user immediately know from which door the MC was coming in. For instance, since in this game the MC is shown... he coud just render the MC near the port from which he entered the room.

Or he could use another visual device to give the user this info.
The important thing is that the player has to know where to click to go back. And with current design we don't have this information. This is a user experience flaw.

I think for DPC is obvious how the rooms are interconnected and so which door leads were only because he has a map of the mansions he designed... but he forgets that the played doesn't have this piece of information.

I really wish the walkthroughs at least got updated. Because there are a lot of choices that have big impacts later in the game and there is no mention of it in there. Even for smaller stuff like the threesome with Elena and JB, the WT doesn't mention that if get a BJ from Heather, you can't get that scene, so unless you have a save right before that choice, you will have to restart season 3 just to get that one scene.

+ that branching was totally unnecessary

That's not the definition of second cousins. My second cousin is the child of my parent's first cousin (or the grandchild of my grandparent's sibling, or the great-grandchild of my great-grandparent).

What you're describing are first cousins once-removed.

The general rule for determining what sort of cousin two people are is to compare their ancestors to find the closest ancestor of either of them who's also an ancestor of the other. The number of generations in between that ancestor and the closer of the two decendants is the degree of cousinship (for example, between grandparent and grandchild there's one generation, so they'd be first cousins). Then the number of additional generations between the other descendant and that common ancestor is the number of removals (continuing the example, if the other descendant was a great-great-grandchild, that would be two additional generations beyond grandchild, so they'd be first cousins twice-removed)

Okay, I learn now that the definition of "second cousin" is not the same all around the world.

I was assuming it was, but after your comment I did some research and I realised it is not.

I can assure you that as far as Italy is concerned, my 1st cousin is the son of my uncle (same as in UK/US), and my 2nd cousin is the son of my 1st cousin. We don't use the expression "first cousins once-removed" at all: neither in common speak, nor in family law.

To refer to what in UK/US is called "my second cousin" in Italy we are forced to use the circumlocution "the son/daughter of the cousin of my mom/dad". We don't have a specific term.

So the confusion.

What can I say? Variety is what makes the world beautiful... Some concepts can’t be directly translated across cultures.

Dude 40 yrs??? Where did you get that or to be more precise what country is that. Because here in my country I had my 2nd cousin who is closer to my age compare to my 1st cousin.

I was referring to Italy (as I stated in my first comment about cousins having the right to get married in Italy).
Probably we are just using a different definition of "second cousin".
I was using the Italian definition (see above), assuming that the definition of "second cousin" were the same all over the world. I've learnt today that instead... it varies across countries. By the way, which country are you referring to?

I am 50, my first cousin (the son of my uncle) is 40 and he has a 10-year-old son. According to the Italian definition of "second cousin" that child is "my second cousin", and we have a 40-year age gap.
Nothing strange... just two different definitions of what a "second cousin" is, in different countries. :)
