Ok having actually run through this new build with Patty...Yeah. I can totally see what the problem here is. The problem is simply put, Patty is written....Wrong. I can get what they are going for, but the problem really feels like the first half of her story, doesn't quite fit in with what she's revealed to be.
Patty before the whole 'reveal' of her role in the office and what she does?Show's no real signs of being what she is. Then the player has to walk in on what's pretty much a NTR scene as up to then she was mainly shown to just be interested in and flirting with the player.
Beyond that, most of her dialogue and the like is about how much she likes the player. If anything her story should of been about her beign graysons's uh....Creative names for her, until she meets Kyle and finds that she only wants to be with him from now on. Not that she's gonna just keep being as she was.
I mean let's be real, when she needs our help, we are helping her so she can stay in the office and do what she does with everyone. That's just kinda off writing wise. There is nothing wrong with Patty doing what she did BEFORE her relationship forms with the player.
But she needed to STOP it once it started. No one really likes sharing the games girls. Especially not this one. Patty is a good character, but the problem is that while i get what they are going for with her? It just doesn't work as it's too much of a departure from what the game has done up to then.
This is not a love/romance route. This is written like a positively spun Denigration route. If she's already a slut, what would even be the point of her other route?
The stuff with her doing stuff with others should of either not been a part of her character or been revealed as somthing she did in the past but won't anymore.
It's just a bit of bad writing here. It's an interesting idea to give a girl that's slightly diffrent to the rest, but it kinda doesn't work. I'd say her story needs a bit of a rework as this feels too much like a dp route that is spun positivly.
And the main character just goes along with this. They should have the option to ask her to stop it, or just have her be the one to do it as they are the only one that helps her and she decides she only wants them now. Minus Kim of course.
Point is, it's a decent idea, with a poor execution. She should be a bit slutty and horny. Sure, those scenes and how she acted are a great change of pace. But the office slut thing doens't mesh well and she maybe should get a rewrite/rework to not have that or at least say she will stop that.
What do you all think?
