Damn. I saw the comments/steam reviews about 'consequences' but just assumed it was people complaining that you couldn't two time and get away with it forever.
Even if for some unfathomable reason, a student decided to not transfer/drop out after the winter versus punishment stuff, attempting to house (room?) arrest a student is an actual joke. Bulldozing a residence with 30min of warning (a construction company wouldn't touch that with a 1000 mile pole) is begging on hands and knees to be obliterated by a lawsuit, and that's not even touching the threat to start demolition with people still inside. That's also assuming the houses are owned by the university (not actually that common).
Universities aren't the military. They don't own the student body. They are heavily limited in what they can get away with, and such a hardcore crackdown would hemorrhage your student body (especially for a school that, judging by the player/Imre/etc, doesn't appear to have very stringent entry requirements). To say nothing of the athletics catastrophe it would be as half your athletes hit the transfer portal. I get the devs tried to go for a story twist, but this is just really poorly thought out. I loved the game to this point, and I'll keep going for awhile I guess, but any semblance of world immersion is shattered by literally every single Wolf/Ape (except maybe Perry, he's kind of a pushover, lol) not immediately laughing their asses off at the fat guy and the dean and just withdrawing from the university.
Sorry devs. Like I said, I love the game, but the entire school crackdown arc is a pretty colossal own goal. I guess some props are in order on account of me caring enough to be annoyed? Though I would be annoyed by the above regardless...
Either way, sorry to beat the dead horse. Even if I drop the game in the near future, it was a fun ride to this point, so cheers for that devs.
