Not if you make different choices.
...which the MC is able to successfully disrupt twice. If they stayed together he'd have a positive influence on her.
I don't see that at all. She's extremely emotional; it's almost certainly why the physical and practical aspects of her life are hyper-controlled.
We also have completely opposite takes on Lisa.
How do you interpret Diane as an adrenaline junky? There's certainly no evidence for it in the text. She works out and she has commitment-free sex. That's not exactly base jumping.
I note, with some dismay, that you've managed to find a way to demean and harshly denigrate all the female NPCs. It's not especially charming.
...as I said.
A complete, and I begin to suspect willful, misunderstanding on your part.
You also seem to hate this game and everyone in it, which makes me wonder why you're playing it.
I won't voice my opinion on a game without putting in the time first. You can check my comments and reviews on other games if you think I am a woman hater. To try turn my dislike of slow progression and finding characters as flawed (including MC and most definitely the worst Char is Richard) into an attack on women is as ridiculous. Secondly I not against tragic flaws in writing (Shakespeare was a master at it)in fact I prefer them. I also do actually like the potential in Lisa (and her sister), Dianne and Hayley characters. I do think story has a lot of potential that its simply not delivering on YET and it really got bogged down in the guilt angst (and considering Lisa's move on Hailey in Kitchen and Hailey's response we going to have even more guilt angst added on top of the Sandra, Family, Incest guilt angst) and Sandra forced relationship. I will even come back in a few months to see if game actually starts to reach it potential and gets past the endless angst cycle and actually stops forcing you on Sandra path. I do concede I probably overcritical of entire game because I really dislike the clingy anal retentive Sandra.
I have no doubt with Lisa we going to find out just what happened to her and sister that will explain both their behaviors and I don't think it will be a romantic view of incest (of course this is a huge leap just because conspicuous older sister trying to play parent role).
Just because you can start helping a person to overcome a mental disorder does not mean the trait stops existing.
Adrenaline Junkies not just thrill seekers. Take a look at number of marathon runners that get so hooked on endorphins and adrenaline they fry own bodies. The reason I said she was is she is always looking for more ways to push her limits (not just taking up pole dancing but putting in the time to become so skilled so quickly on top of refusing to use Pill considering her lifestyle, this strongly suggests she will be adverse to most medications).
The only characters I dislike are Sandra and Richard and I think Richard is meant to be unlikeable and Sandra is meant to end up pushing MC into arms of Hailey. I also think the slow development of characters is intentional because the plot devices are definitely getting put in place for deeper development.
I really am sorry if I offended you with my opinion and no doubt I was frustrated when I writing because I do see a lot of potential in game and felt bogged down with Sandra storyline when I wanted to unwrap mystery of Lisa and her sister and get Hayley storyline happening (and very disappointed strong Hailey suddenly became a submissive with a daddy complex).
