Simply said, no.Big props for le stags efforts—rewriting Oliver must’ve been a grind! But losing the option to cut him out kills replay value for dominant stag or any route in general. Could we get a 'veto partner' choice post-intro to keep some control? Thanks!
If you can veto a partner, then that means I cannot use him for important story beats. Every chapter including him would have to be, ultimately, irrelevant to the story, to make it consistent for players that removed him. Which means that I'd have to use a single, mandatory bull for every important event.
Which is what I was doing, and what was the most common complaint about the game. Because people wanted the story to progress, and Nathan was the only one I could make it progress with, you got too much of Nathan.
Basically, if you can remove Oliver from the game, and I use him for a specific kink, you lose the possibility to get to that kink, even if that kink isn't directly tied to who Oliver is.
So, in order to add variety to the bulls, I have to make them mandatory. Or I open myself to a lot more complaints about missed content, story inconsistency, and lack of progression.
