Generic female MC games are a dime a dozen on this website and the best one already got made by EK so what would be point of making ORS if not for Ian's part. A huge reason why ORS is the best game on here is the dual protagonist mechanic. I don't understand people who want to cut out Ian's part, literally why even play the game at that point? GGGB is right there, alongside a whole bunch of other female MC games where the MC gets seduced by rich assholes and BBC.
Eh, I think ORS is good
in spite of the dual protagonist system, not because of it.
I think Eva has floundered around doing revisions and making character changes that it's pretty clear that the dual-protag system is a concept that is hard to develop for a single writer at the scale that she's working with.
Besides, I think there is plenty of content and themes to explore with female main characters that are interesting. Eva doesn't want to be "the one" to explore all of them, that's fair enough.
I have no wish to see Ian removed, not while the game is being made anyway. Even if I had such a wish, I don't see the point when the game's already as far along as it is in development. I'd have still preferred the game be without him if it was only just coming out now, but that's neither here nor there.
