Quick update on the lightless route. I have it down to everyone but Lydia and a couple of the teachers. Like I don't think Patel is possible without lights at this current point in the story. And some characters like Lydia and Ward don't get a relationship status with you despite having sex with them. I'm not sure if I should count that as enough or not. I suppose after the next few updates that may change.
Speaking of the late game, avoiding free light points is a bit like dodging land mines. Like if Fuller isn't dead and you fuck his wife he gets pissed and she kills him for you which rewards you with purple light xp. I'm curious why G28 made that choice. Is it to imply the MC subconsciously manipulated her with his powers to save himself? Regardless of the reason I am avoiding all paths that grant light xp even if you, the player, didn't choose to use one.
Going full on piece of shit or rapist or whatever else so suddenly is a but much
I agree and disagree with this sentiment. It's part of the reason I tend to play this game the way I do (avoiding mind control, rape, and most things that would effect consent). BUT that's because of who I am, not the MC. And if I think back a bit I have to admit I was a piece of shit not long before graduating high school.
I genuinely don't think I would have abused supernatural powers at 18 (at least not in a way that would be rapey, free money on the other hand...) but at 15 or 16? I'd probably have been a fucking monster. People mature at different rates. So I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility to say an immature MC would go full sociopath given the chance.
