The guy who impulsively comes to the rescue against what he previously planned certainly sounds more romantic than the dude that sticks with the plan even though the girl is suffering.Wait, really? I did that on my Erynn save because I thought that was the +Erynn option. MC unable to see her come to harm right in front of him and standing up for her. Sticking to the plan is a more... well, not colder MC, but one who can take watching her get smacked around for the goal.
One would think Erynn would appreciate her white knight coming to the rescue.
But Nyx wanted to punish players for violence somehow...
Just a small point drop (-2)
On the plus side (like Justaphase said) it's a nice father daughter moment.
This too, it would lead to some bad consequences...I think the beating him up and taking his phone option was meant to lead somewhere but got ditched (surprise, surprise). So sticking with the plan is the best option for now it seems, plus it allows Erynn to spend some time with her father.
But since it got written out Nyx decided to still give players a slap on the wrist for being violent.
