I just want to see all opportunities and paths completed. I don't really care which ones get added onto first. I don't want to see content removed either. So far, the preview pics hint at more Kira content, so that's cool... Favorite aunt is one of those opportunities that runs out of content too soon, IMO.
I'm optimistic that the new content will at least make endgame-harem-mode more entertaining. But if post-Eric content is going that direction then I say go all out! Let the players really feel victorious with the spoils of war (OK, sorry. Bad pun). There are hints of expanded Max punishments on the girls and that's cool. The idea of Max beginning his reign of terror is an interesting one. Max is a sociopath, he can completely embrace that with Eric gone.
The way I see it, the main problem with BB right now is that once Eric is gone, the game devolves into a click-through visual novel of the worst kind... No skill checks, no conflict, no incentive to maintain mood, long delays between progression events, money becomes unimportant. It ends with a whimper. Sad but fixable...
I get that DS isn't feeling that romance is appropriate for this game. That's fine but what about reciprocated lust? Clearly the ladies of the house have grown fond of his cock. I'd like to see harem-mode at least have some kinds of challenges. One idea might be to have a chick with sufficiently high enough mood and relationship approach Max at random to initiate some fun. Then, there would be incentive to maintain those stats. What if she were to walk in while Max is getting it on with someone else? If both girls are in a great mood then BAM extra play partner. If someone is in a poor mood, maybe they storm out and won't put out until Max has buttered them back up again. I think things like that could help keep up the game aspect and keep the game-aspect fans entertained.
