Cindy's path is definitely the riskiest for Ian, I agree with that. As for being the most interesting character... idk, she strikes me as Ashley 2.0. Both being unsatisfied with their current relationship and where they are in their life and being tempted to take new opportunities presented to them. To me, it doesn't seem like Eva's turned a corner or anything of the sort. Just regurgitating some of the writing used for Ashley.I am a Cindy fan, I believe she is the most interesting character in the game. She is much more appealing than any other character and I really wanted to see her, at least as one of the MCs. I think she is the most real one among them and her struggles make her the deepest character in the game but I don't see any reasonable way her relationship would work with Ian. Every relation has power dynamic within and in the love path, Ian has zero power in the relationship. He has to sacrifice too much also. He will lose Wade and Perry as a friend, has to miss to have deeper relationship either as a friend or a lover of Holly, he will probably lose Emma and most likely lose Alison too. He has to give up Lena and even if he drags it has to break up with Cherry eventually. He has to jeopardise his dream to become an author too because he cannot go to book fair. I think he will probably miss any chance to get closer to Ivy, because looks like even though she try to not show it she finds loyalty important. What he gets in return, becoming second choice at best. He always has to agree with her if not their relationship gets huge hit. Also she is ready to switch other options. She holds Ian as a safety net. Also Ian cannot give the glamorous life she is wanting and always has to keep up at his best. Relationships always have ups and downs, even if Ian overcomes everything Cindy throws at him when he eventually stumbles she won't hesitate to seek for better options. I noticed Ian can collect relationship points with Cindy and I can see dev gonna use that for Cindy's decision between Axel and Ian but even that should be huge red flag for Ian. Cindy's options are reciprocate Ian's feeling whom sacrificing everything he has or becoming a play thing of Axel for a while. All in all, I think Ian should stay clear of Cindy but I'll probably dedicate one maybe more saves for Cindy path because I find her journey highly interesting.![]()
