And do you believe in sausages growing in trees? (old family saying)
Let's say that I believe that it is possible if you have well-defined goal.
Otherwise it is almost pointless, because you will have too many states.

Even a good manual walkthrough would be incredibly difficult to pull off, so I don't think an automatic one would work. To my mind, the only usable walkthrough would have to wait for the game to be finished and then retro engineer all the choices to get this or that ending. "To see Chris have lesbian sex with a spider, in chapter 2, ask her how she feels about eight-legged sex toys"
I would rather create for her a T-X Terminator made of magic metal (Tritanium?). :p

you play with Sarah and make the right choice
I mean, whether it is an arcade or a time trial. Are movements (attack, defend, dodge) random?

it's easy: 1) storm area 51 and get their best hardware and software, 2) spend 10 years pinning all variables 3) pray it doesn't crash your alien device
This is definitely a bad approach. Let's say that you always have at least 3 choices, and you have to make a decision 30 times. It is over 2 * 10^14 possibilities. Definitely too much.
You must know your goals and do it wisely.

Damn, assault on Area 51 is already planned for September 20.

Is it you, Nottravis?

Notty.... since you're bug hunting and all that mojo..... in chapter one there's a game breaking bug.... it's called 'let's play already..." it's an unnecessary choice that simply increses the game's size... I understand the A.C.I.O philosophy but that's really useless and is the root of all evil (meaning every single bug that follows)

Sadly I don't have the power ooomph to do animations - and as walkthrough guy says "I shouldn't bother trying" or words to that effect. So...*shrugs sadly* only so much I can do on 1060 card.
Well I am not really a computer nerd, but since my even older 650 TI video card is starting to get problems and my old motherboard cant handle the new video cards with dual slots I have been looking into having a new computer build by a friend who is way more of a computer geek. It looks like that with the recent release of the new RTX super series by NVIDIA their RTX 2070 will be moving to a way more affordable price range. So it may be worth to have a look into that in a few weeks when prices have been adjusted a bit. Though will not be as beastly as the new super RTX 2080 will be if you can afford that and you might want to make sure your motherboard can handle them, it should blow away a 1060. :p

And now, a super important Public Service Announcement. For all you guys and gals tempted by the thought of scavving in the downtown Ophion, here's a tip...

After mulling it for a while, I've decided to make a walkthrough. It is no secret that I dislike the one present because it is IMO a convoluted mess based on the code that sows confusion and provides a lot of misleading information players don't need to know. Now, I heartily recommend anyone to play without walkthrough, because that's where the gameplay and replayability are. Making choices that matter. But, if you have to use a walkthrough, you should use a better one.

So my goal is to nuke the current one from orbit provide easier to read alternative based entirely on countless replays that focuses on the most important bits (the naughty bits and general progress). It will be up to date in regards of bugfixed Chapter 3.

ETA: When it's done (maybe today).

Maybe an idea to do first a bit more general part of walkthrough with important but more general things to focus on for different girls and route that are important and then do the more detailed walkthrough underneath for when someone does get stuck reaching something he would love to see?

A good idea, I'll do that, thanks! :)

As long as you can refrain from assuming where Notty means to lead the story or simply from commenting that she's bad at doing something and should not bother... Then I guess your walkthrough will be better, indeed.
