Long live your opinion ... but this feels unjust. Nearly every action is optional, neither you need to become a ho or a lezzie to become a rockstar. There is a repeatable fling with the barkeeper as some kind of a "relationship" too. The imbalance and lack of decent likeable men cannot be denied but this will be addressed in upcoming versions, according to the latest dev's remarks.
you said it right. everything guy complained about her path is optional
from my pov largest problem is that looks like dev is more concentrated on redoing game than on progress, so real content of updates is shrinking. see new update: been with alice, talked to col.white, have flavi & cat scene, after that chick fight & i guess update is finished? it is 5 playable minutes update
overall i like visual upgrades. but i believe that most of us would rather see more actual story progress. otherwise upgrades are serving only to extend game's life spawn.
also i still can't understand why gallery totally replaced task manager. it is very difficult to follow progress just based on charachter list. sometimes i need to click through many charachters to find where is new task. sometimes ! appears and i can't find what has happened. gallery is great thing but still missing quest manager.
imo, some kind of quest manager or guide should be restored.
additional problem, that i wrote about earlier, i can't see all charachters. usually i can scroll up/down, but not at charachter list. am i missing something?
maybe your new walkthrough could help, but due to constant changes of previous material it would be partial and subject to re-writing with each update...
