I've been coding for more than 30 years. This is why I indicated that "choice" menus with one option might be there as a joke. Not to say I haven't seen someone set up a group of checkboxes and force the user to only select one (in which case, they should really be radio buttons; it's kind of a pet peeve of mine). I have certainly seen menus presenting 10 choices or so, where (as far as I could tell) no choice had a different effect (the choices were something like "Yes", "YES!", "OH my God, YES", and so forth). You're correct, of course; a single choice menu could have any of the explanations you mentiom: the dev asserting control over the user's actions (i.e., fast-forwarding through a game), a development step being missed, dev error, or simple carelessness as well. It could even be a case of a previous action forcing the user's hand at this juncture, when a different previous action would have allowed other choices (I'd prefer to signal that by presenting all the possible choices, but graying the others out as disabled). And I'd argue that, with the right wording, it could be made into a joke ("Peek" wouldnt be the right wording).

Yes. Thankfully I often run the Universal Cheat Mod by Oscar 6 which helps me spot where conditionals have resulted in stuff and if choices are removed by conditions - it tells you about hidden choices in menus. I tend to think though that there should have been a condition check before the choice menu that checks if only one choice will be available now, and if so, skips the menu straight to the resulting scene. It's just a smoother, slicker way to go in terms of the user experience.

$39.99 for a game of darts? I've never played darts so would that be expensive?

Is there a reason the walkthroughmod intentionally is highlighting bad options? For example, hugging lilith when she obviously wouldnt want that and states so? I've noticed on a new playthrough some of the walkthrough mod highlighted choices are different from before. Has something changed? I mainly use it for completionist reasons on a secondary save while my main file is my choices.
That's not a bad option. Lilith is a brat and it's fun to tease her every now and then. There's no consequences to either choice there so the walkthrough mod highlighted the most fun one.

I see. So it's not so much that something is new or different that will have effects, but that some choices are just in there as different options for scenes or dialogue. Good to know, thanks.

Mostly correct. There are very few bad choices and very few alternate path choices.

Only a very few choices indeed make a difference other than a scene or two lines of dialogue or stuff like that.
Also, the walkthrough is not intended to give an optimal playthrough by any definition but what CNG considers the "canon" choices. And these are indeed not leading to the most scenes, you will miss a bit if you follow it.

There were some choices early on that reduced the lewd level of a Mei interaction that were highlighted as the "better" option, but I think that may have been because the WT guy just didn't like Mei. One of the problems with some mods is that they bring their personal preferences to some choices. The better of that lot says they're doing it; the others are just being dicks. It's why I've come to prefer modders like Sancho - his mod is generally agnostic and gives consequences rather than just sending you down his preferred path.

Agree with you. Often are personal choices more relevant then what WT says. You right about that Mei case, you can have her full naked, but WT screw you over and you see she partially naked. I think too that her story is not yet evolved enough.
I like all girls and last two updates were pretty emotional, especially v.1.21. Its getting better.
Good evening, does anyone have a video walkthrough of the last chapter? If so, could you upload it to the gofile?
