That is not even remotely similar to an attempt of consolation.
I am sure, from your POV, my complaints are easily downplayed (or even dismissed completely) as "ramblings" of a scorned fan, but I heartily urge you to step into my shoes and show some empathy.
I wouldn't want any fan to be "punished" for choosing any path in this game, but you seem content with patronizing mine. Almost as if you believe your path to be the 'correct' one?
I clearly remember all of us jumping to LM's defense when some disgruntled fans complained about being forced to choose a wife (someone they might have no romantic interest in), and how we all argued that giving the players the option to NOT get married at all would be too big of a branch to handle.
Yet now, when LM created this huge branching opportunity of their own volition, with the choice to Kill or Spare Cass, those who picked the Kill option are supposed to bend over and accept the fact that LM couldn't be arsed to create a proper branch for that particular path? Why is that suddenly okay to do, but letting fans OPT OUT of a forced marriage was a step too far?
