One of my issues with this game is the forced blackmail to progress things. It started out great, and then somewhere along the way they added that stuff and it's and all downhill since imo. They should have had a Love and also a Blackmail path, but there really isn't because you miss out on 1/3 of the game and cant progress things if you don't blackmail. At least, as the game is now. Maybe in 5 more years there will actually be 2 paths, but at this point I think most people can agree the game has gone downhill and is NOT what it started out to be.
