Exactly this, thank you. I was thinking about that as well. I think the combination of Sage's family twist and the Mc's universal reaction regardless of path and past choices, is what leaves such a bad impression. The twist on its own, though it could have been executed better, would flow more fluidly without the reaction. I guess it's the limitations of the medium. Having multiple diverging branches that have to be tied in to the main story, leaves a lot of space for incosistencies and details that don't make much sense to slip in.
Of course it's the creator's job and responsibility to prevent that, and I think DPC does it quite well, better than most, far from perfect without a doubt.
Sage didn't mention the sprinkler incident, because she thought it was not a big deal, just a party prank, as can be seen by her reaction at the time. She wasn't present in the confrontation with Tybalt and didn't know Fuckface would be blamed for it. She gives me the impession that she's distanced herself from her family and she's not involved in the day to day matters and conversations at home. I agree the whole thing could have been handled better, a lot better, I'm just offering some explanation to the way things played out.
Anyway, I think we've all established that DPC is more than willing to sacrifice plot elements and logical progression in favor of plot twists and drama. That's his writing style, what can you do.... Oh! I know!
Discuss it here and have fun!
