Yep, the Sub path is a rape-fest. If Sierra was around she could have made the path interesting but the current hacks writing the game have no interest in it as you can tell for yourself from the bored and lazy writing. It's rape, rape, rape.
Eh, wasn't it Sierra's idea to have rape at the very beginning of the game? I'm pretty sure there was something about it, that Nomo or someone else argued and removed it to have smooth and slow pacing instead.
Anyway...
If you told me that this had been put together at extremely short notice I would believe you.
Yes, this looks EXACTLY as if they were working at the game exclusively around the deadlines. I finally got around playing and apparently unblocking f95
(site isn't blocked, but the parts are, which made it nearly unusable), wanted to agree with you a lot of time ago. Since i do scenarios in different games, with different amounts of coding, i'm sure i can say that this shouldn't take anywhere near to 9 months of work. Without inventing any new code, without having to draw pictures, only taking and inserting them in a very simple way, copy and paste lines at worst... Well. At least this doesn't look malicious, looks more like a student syndrome - leaving everything on the very last moment.
Sure hope they'll stop with that, realizing the consequences of losing such easy work to this kind of weakness, and will start to do updates a bit more consistently.
