I liked having all be different names, and having the option to customize each relationship was also cool. I prefer the old system. Could you not have both?
That was the idea, having both (multiple names AND the game tags).
The tags
enable you to choose the same name without issue,
but shouldn't have removed the ability to choose different names for each MC.
But this wasn't taken into consideration by the team...
That's why I'm asking if anyone even cares about that.
Though I'm afraid the only way to reverse would be restarting from the intro again in the next version, unless they can find a way to let us change the name in the menu, for active runs...
But... The Mia Foursome change couldn't make it into this update, and it's possible that would require a second restart anyways (although I hope it won't require it).
But if it does require a new restart, maybe they could reverse the ability to choose different names, 2 birds 1 stone.
It will depend on more people wanting the ability to choose multiple MC names, though.
(And the game tag should stay no matter what).
I'll have to convince them to tweak this again...

As for the relationships...
They are separated in groups the way they should, as many plots
expect these relationships to be the same as the other.
For example, Jessica should be to LT-MC the same thing that Mia is to RtM-MC.
These characters will use the relationships between themselves, like a conversation between LT-MC and RtM-MC about Jessica AND Mia.
Just like in LT, the relationship of Elizabeth also works for Rachel and Angel.
And in SwM, the relationships between MC and Mia also work for Sam and Emma, stuff like that.
So I think that particular change will be final, unless someone makes a mod that changes that.
(Modder would need to tweak every individual line that uses a relationship, though).
