As I’ve said before, I don’t have an issue with Sue sleeping around.
In my main run I told her to get lost (well, not literally, but I chose dismissive options) - so she’s free to do whatever and whoever she wants.
What feels off to me is who she suddenly goes for.
Theo, of all people, makes zero sense to me - especially right after the S2 intro/prologue where he’s shown supporting Randall nonstop while Sue is gone. And the speed at which both of them jump into it feels even stranger if you played a Harem route in S1 where none of that dynamic even existed.
And yeah,
Ricthequick and I were talking about weird "trigger" choices that lead to that outcome. They aren’t intuitive at all. You pick one or two lines with no obvious emotional weight, and suddenly Sue flips from "crying on the floor begging Randall not to hate her" to "screw it, I’m going to fuck his best friend tonight" (I'm exaggerating obviously).
That’s not about slut-shaming - it’s about narrative coherence.
And for the record, I am acknowledging positives of this new RP system.
The freedom to ignore characters you don’t care about is great, and you’re no longer forced into scenes you don’t want like in the S1
But right now the downside is that the RP triggers can push chars into behavior that doesn’t feel natural or earned. Sue is just the most obvious example.
You’re trying to turn this into a moral argument - "Randall fucks around so Sue can too" - which is not even what we were talking about. Nobody said "Sue can’t have sex".
My point is: writing doesn’t justify these specific characters doing this specific thing, this fast, based on these choices.
That’s a writing/mechanics issue, not a double standard. It’s about character consistency and RP system that’s currently too shallow to support the swings it creates (in my opinion at least).
