I understand that. And you’re clearly not the only person with this sentiment. But you gotta look at certain events and realise that it would be impossible to balance or motivate them in the first place with this kind of relationship. The slums act alone would be a disaster. I mean, from Vanessa’s perspective at least: “My sister ran away with our girlfriend. This is bullshit”.
But on top of that, I very deliberately build Shattered assuming that people would be interested in playing through it at least more than once, piecing together various opposite scenes and exploring different opportunities. Having two equally appealing love interests could help with that, right?
