After reading the past few comments, seems the dev is butchering the Sam romance with making it not really matter or lack emotion.
Such a shame, she is the only one i care about, and the dev not only ruined this game with rework, cause their relationship was perfect there, apparently the dev is out to not even give the Sam romance the love or care it deserves and just make it feel unimportant now too it seems.
Man, I have no clue why the dev had to ruin the game and now apparently ruin Sam romance which was my main thing I was most looking forward to.
