NGL, i'd both laugh and cry* if EK out of spite reworked Robert into actual decent if not outright better option than Ian.

*) cry with laughter, it's not something to be really sad about. well, other than development delay, ofc.
Robert was kind of a missed opportunity as far as being a decent male LI for Lena. Just a couple of small tweaks and he could easily jump to just behind Ian.

That being said, Robert is a great asshole. I think a lot of people have a hard time separating Robert the character and Robert as a person. He is supposed to be an unlikable douche canoe, so in that regard he is an excellent character. It is why he keeps popping up despite how much people hate him, if you hate Robert, Robert the character is doing his job. He's like Joffery from Game of Thrones.

I agree, his execution as a mid-tier douchebag is excellent, and he totally delivers in this role. It's just sad it loses a bit of impact when almost every other guy is also an asshole ;/

I think the game deliberately made all the Love Interests (except Holly) horseshit in an effort to make Ian and Lena the "canon" couple. Don't get me wrong, loyal Ian and loyal Lena is my favourite route, and I'm not taking anything away from their interactions but I feel that's partly down to game design. This thread frequently talks about how bad Lena's LI's are but what about Ian's? His options include a vindictive hag, a self-righteous and spoiled little shit, a cheater hung up on Axel, and a narcissistic yandere. Take your pick.

Vindictive Hag meaning Minerva, spoiled little shit meaning Cindy, cheater hung up on Axel being Cherry. Wait who would be the narcissistic yandere ?

Baby trapper Alison :KEK: Shapesnatcher , actual homewrecker. She just needed one slip-up from a committed Ian.

Not sure where the homewrecker part comes from but yeah even I see the baby trapper vibes. Like does she try to ruin shit in a loyal ian and loyal lena playthrough ? which mind you i have never done, i just play them as sluts or one is loyal while the other is a complete slut usually.

She's relentless in pursuing Ian. Even if Ian gets into a relationship she doesn't care. Making an excuse of sleeping together once and how would it feel. Bimbo Alison is definitely baby-trapping Ian and taking him for herself.

She does, she even invites Ian to her house after she learned about Gillian.
Alison knew about Gillian before Ian because Jeremy told her. If you notice early in the game, she will bring Gillian's name most of the time to make Ian feel vulnerable and make him drop his walls down. She's a cunning emotional manipulator.

Eva should just start killing off characters. I nominate Truck-kun to do the job.

View attachment 3287002
How about this, all the male cast decide to go somewhere together and hop on a bus, if Ian is a good guy has something so can't make it on time, else he is there too. Then suddenly Truck-kun shows up and penetrates bus-chan sideways, which will result us getting rid of entire male cast. :giggle:
