Yeah you're right in saying I enjoyed the game to an extent. Though it was sort of following a path of diminishing returns. I really like the scifi theme as it really was a breath of fresh air. But the character designs were sort of weak and all the questions the plot made me ask myself snapped me out of it repeatedly till my immersion was ruined. I'll try to power through it because I really want to see this game develop into something better. I really hope Alex develops into a more substantial character and if he does as you say I'll do my best to slog through. Yeah unfairness is to be expected in hierarchical societies I guess though I hope the story doesn't rely on the MCs relationship with Lyn to much as a get out of jail free card especially considering how he is a nobody outside of that, and I rather not that be his defining trait.I'm not saying this is a wholly unfair take, but if that's really what bothered you about the game, I recommend you continue playing a bit further, as the issues with Alex do eventually come to a head. I would also say that unfairness is often a part of life, especially in hierarchical societies.
Anyway, that's just my pitch...I'm clearly biased...but it did seem like you enjoyed other parts of the game.
Yeah its really odd design in my opinion why make him a character then make him disappear only to reappear sporadically, even to the point where the MC seems to forget he exist (such as during the party). Yeah I understand the need for plot to plot hopefully this is just to get it off the ground as usually the beginning is where you have to put up the most with this till the plot manages to gain momentum.Besides my snideness above, I somewhat agree with you. Alex at first I thought was going to be a character we interact with and I think I did similar selections to you so was looking for some sort of conflict with him. Overall once on the ship Alex was poof, coming back for landings, and only later on but otherwise non-existent at least in the MC's world. To me though he seemed more throwaway since the whole attraction of the game is the MC being on a ship alone with a bunch of sexually active and attractive women.
Didn't really make the connections that you did between the actions of the two, but as I remind myself when watching a lot of TV shows, or reading books, some things just need to progress a certain way for the plot to work. It's a good point about immersion in the game where some things just pull you out, but the oppai just pulled me in again plus I wanted to see where this was going to go - especially with all the open relationships this Kirk-esque MC seems to be having.
