This is kinda what I mean when I talk about poor writing, especially when I'm talking about Parker. There needs to be a gateway - a way to entice a player into a particular route. If you're making decisions in favour of a particular character, without any sexual content in mind ... then that's a good gateway.This really confused me for a while because I had been underwhelmed by Mr Wilson's scenes and couldn't remember ever getting a chance to meet Mrs Wilson.
AFAICT, it's because I turned down Mr Wilson's scene back in Chapter 7; as a result I skipped the scene at the end of Chapter 10 where he mentions bringing his wife to a session. For some reason Season 2 has overridden the MC's decision to drop Mr Wilson as a client, but didn't retroactively enable a way to opt into the Mrs Wilson side of the branch. It's sort of the worst of both worlds: I'm stuck with more of the content I want to skip without even realizing there was an option to convert it to something more interesting.
If we're bringing Mr Wilson back as a client in Season 2 anyway, would it be feasible to add the option to include his wife at the start of S2 Chapter 3 directly rather than have to backtrack through half the game to reenable the path?
The future shopping trip with Parker might have worked ... except it's a trope that's been used over and again it's too predictable.
