Since it is not easy in RL to follow in the footsteps of others and you have created the "mess" of authenticity of people meeting and talking to each other, but as a reader I am interested in immersing myself in the life of an MC, that is fine with me.purpose to immerse into the life of MC
In this case, the MC doesn't live on an island with 2-3 contacts, but has a normal social and professional life and gets to know people as a result.
As in real life, some choices have consequences and even though some would like that, not all potential partners are ready at a glance.
The difference is that, unlike in RL, you can't see body language in a game. This leads to predictable misunderstandings. Who does not know such situations on whatsapp or by sms (or eMail.... business partner travel round the world to get a feeling for the other end of an conversation of an eMail) where you spend a "lifetime" to explain to another again in writing that something was a joke or meant ironically.
You don't see the other person grinning or eyebrows drawing together, nor an open or closed posture.
If the game wants to come close to reality, these posture changes are crucial. Whether one arrives with one's own manner, has to pretend professionally or whether one can become insinuating.
Therefore, a reflecting "emotion" system may could be handy....
How? .... no clue
