Amen. This game's writing is really amazing, especially for good Ashley when all of the supporting characters get what they deserved. It's so satisfying sending Arthur into prison.I came for titillation... I was not expecting such great characterization and writing. I was moved to happy tears seeing Jess have a happy ending after seeing her demise in the bad ending prior... it was like a big "this could have been your life" moment and I was happy for this virtual side character to see her turn out well adjusted.
My only disappointment with this game is Ashley's enjoyment of the few scenes in which she is assaulted. Her inner monologue saying things like "but I liked it..." when she has all good points and is being molested by her future father in law/gang member/shower tranny. I would have liked a scene or two where the good girl is in a bad situation and doesn't like it.
The way I see it, her enjoyment doesn't come from being either good or bad but simply from being Ashley. She is very submissive deep down. Even when she tries to stay on the "good" path and not fall headfirst into depravity, she can't help herself but feel the certain animal thrill and get turned on by all the nasty things that can happen with her. She may feel shame afterward but can't suppress those feelings. After all, this is why she is tempted so much throughout the game to just not give a damn for once, explore her darkest desires and go "Bad". Because she has it in her.
