yea i agree and avns keep do track of lots of things nowadays (if devs wants so) and that makes games difficult since player has to remember what he/she did on day 10 when now is day 110.
yes. best choices? that's up-to-debate since that depends what wants. wt-pdf is bit needed too.
Unless I'm missing something obvious (very likely), this "saving boat" thingie seems more one of their non-canon fantasy side stories like "enlargement" and "ride the jet". Where, btw, they put all the sex scenes they don't want to put in the game, just with the monster-cocked magical hobo instead of the wimpy loser of a manchild they have as MC.
Having seen many evolutions of media over many years, if this is a crisis it is one with an inevitable crash and burn outlook more than hope for a solution. Beyond what is in front of your eyes, that is. Hard work, long hours, working weekends, dedication, struggle, two jobs, self funding, and a scratch and pull to the finish line. Doesn't sound glamourous, but it is what it took for many of us to succeed, and having done so made for some pretty well made productions...and talented seasoned producers. Lost words on most of today's generation of "creators". Fast tracking, meager dedication, no job, my love life sucks so I'll take 2 months off, give me patron money or I can't do this, and then when you do I'll feed you monthly scraps to string you along. Then when I'm sick of that I'll scrap the whole unfinished bit seems to have taken over as today's mindset. If I was 20 again with the tools these youngsters have at their fingertips....geez it makes me want to puke.
While I think I agree with your post, the crisis I was referring to isn't the creation crisis of this game (how's possible a diplomatic route to that?).
yea that's a bug which won't get fixed.
It's the whole idea that "once the MC has sex / a serious relationship with girl X, Y, or Z, nobody will be interested in the rest of the game". It happens to a lot of creators; sitcoms on television are a great example of this.
And the insane wandering around, the buggy hints, the plot curling up itself and dying and a few other problems...
Yeah, I've heard it actually theorized as "protip" for aspiring game designers. Either the rest of the world is very different from me, or it's utter garbage. It's like saying "Once you'll see a porn scene with Sara Bell, you won't be interested in seeing her in other porn scenes." Uh?
