well by the game's plot for book3 she's not part of the main story, so i'm kind of OK with it because i've got to get her pregnant. that's something ahead of the somewhat more main line figures, so she's got that, and they don't. ok Toph might but if memory serves you just have that one line and she doesn't show pregs until that one ending.
the problem there is, Marty couldn't just go ahead and solo finish FET, because that's cbob's story, at least as far as we know. i doubt he would do it anyway, following what both of them said over the full course of development, they seem pretty close. so he doies whatever can be done on his part, as far as the existing writing/code goes, and fills the gaps by not waiting idle, instead doing something to hand out. i like that.
might give us -something- instead of just more "please hold the line" lines he could do instead. what can he tell us other than he's waiting for the parts to fill in his stuff?
