I'm also in my 50s and I agree with you on Stephanie. She had her chance, and disappeared. I personally couldn't be able to get past that fact. She fucked up and despite her coming back and saying she was an agent(Which, if you delve deep into all the replies here, someone made the comment about her being a 'secret agent', before that was even an actual thing in the game.) is just too far fetched for me to even accept. Also, when the game first dropped, there was no choice when it came to the Steph encounter. We told her we loved her and went about having sex. That pissed off a lot of people, myself included. But, I ended up being a patron after Linda was introduced.I'm on the Lexi path myself.
There are several reasons why I won't pursue Stephanie:
- Stephanie is used as a plot piece to try and mix things up once the MC starts falling in love with one of the many LIs in the game. The author makes her available as a LI just when the player is starting to make a choice and wants the player to question who he really wants (his current choice or Stephanie).
- She waited far too long to explain anything to the MC. She either didn't trust him enough or truly didn't love him, your choice.
- The whole reason for the breakup and two years of pain and mourning is far fetched. Even if the author says it is 100% true it is still pretty deep in fantasy land. Sure anything is possible but it is pretty out there.
Why I won't pursue Cece:
I'm older than most players on this site. I'm in my 50's. I've seen a lot of friends, family, neighbors, work buddies, and acquaintances end up divorced from these types of girls (people with deep emotional issues). Marriage is hard enough with two partners with level heads. I've been married for 29 years now and have never been divorced so I can speak from experience (there are plenty of people out there who have more experience, no question).
Deep emotional issues are very difficult to fully resolve and often never get fully resolved and they throw an added wrench into the relationship. With the divorce rate at roughly 60% in the US, these types of relationships have a hard time lasting. I've seen it way too many times. I understand that Cece needs lots of love and support but a committed relationship with her is off the table for me. I'll give her as much love and support as I can but as a good friend only. When I've personally seen so many of these relationships end in failure it isn't a smart move for me based on my life experience.
Everyone can make their own choice and I'm not knocking others who choose her, I can understand why. She is the LI in the most need of love and we as human beings have in our nature to be generous, loving, and caring.
My two cents worth...
Anyway, Linda till the end for me.
