Alright. Gave this one another chance now that some of the more... problematic behaviors of the MC have been made optional.
The verdict: I love it.
In a bit more detail, I really like the MC's relationship to his sisters. Grace is awesome and adorable. Rose is... a bit unfriendly, but that's okay. And Alex... well, I love the way she's portrayed, seems very realistic, given her situation. Nice job.
Savage is amazing in her own way. I'm super excited to see how her part of the story continues.
Ashley... well, I don't have much of an opinion of her yet. Though I think I like her a bit just because Norma hates her for no good reason.
Speaking of, I HATE Norma so much. I mean, her behavior fits the character she was introduced as. She does her job in the story well. And precisely because of that I just want to avoid her like the plague. Seriously, if we get an option to not get close to her, I'll gladly take that. I think she works just fine as an antagonist, disapproving of everything the MC does with anyone else.
In conclusion: I'm convinced. This is a good game. I eagerly await its completion.
