Just wanted to say to the Dev(s) (if they ever read this), I wanted to try to reword my personal complaint in a constructive way, since looking back the first time I sounded much more Twitter Troll than I intended.
So I personally don't mind slow burn games, and most of my small complaints can easily be explained by Main Story stuff, and maybe you already have plans for that. My only big problem is how the scene confronting the Mob Boss Lady goes. I won't repeat what bothered me about it because I'd just be repeating what I said in my last couple posts about it. Instead I'd like to suggest how I'd fix it, understanding that you might do it differently or not at all for some other reason.
I'd fix it by adding one more player choice to continue to stand up to her when she cokes us. Then, instead of manipulating us through intimidation, she changes tactics to gets to do what she wants and uses persuasion. Something like telling us to our face that she's impressed by us showing backbone. Then instead of threatening our family, she can "offer" something we want, like telling us we can live in our apartment rent free. Which we were already struggling with after we are cut off financially.
Again this is just a suggestion. You make the game you want to make. I just wanted to put my complaint in a more constructive way.
