That is my plan. But to the plot was more holistic, need such episodes. I'm sure the game will be better because of this, eventually.Seeing as Patti (Wife) was the winner on the Polls for Hottest character in the game. Why not exploit that popularity to benefit the game in it's formative stage? It could also branch out to other characters so the story won't have to be linear. Especially since the popularity/notoriety is basically screaming NTR/Cheating/Corruption.
Just my two cents the developer can do whatever he wants with his game.
