Last time I read your code iirc the only way to have 3 RP points with Piper was to be rude dominant. Did you re-code segment??
This might not have been the specific issue. But it was coded in a way that If your character didn’t have more rude points than respect points he got booted from the party no matter what.
I figured it was intentional and the “kicked from the party” branch would have its own leg of narrative for respect dominant players.
Shouldn't work that way. If relation points are tied behind rude then I'll have a look and fix it.
Getting kicked from the party was more about where the player draws the line. Are you willing to be rude for access to scenes or will you walk away taking a loss and possibly never meeting Piper again?
Best way I can put it is giving you an opportunity to re-evaluate your decisions and slowly transition more towards respect if you want or double down towards the rude aspect and get access to certain benefits. But if you're naturally more rude inclined in your playthrough, then it's simply a choice of whether you like Piper or not. Hope that makes sense.
