thats what im saying. half the game is spent talking to the AI where they repeat what you just did. why do i want to read the same experiences twice. it just feels like padding
There are a lot of reasons why I do the recaps.
They provide context to the story. Rather than interrupt scenes with MC/Paige's extended thoughts on something that just happened, they wait till the end of the day. It helps with the flow, in my opinion.
I also do it because there are so many girls on the ship that I want to make sure everything's remembered. This is especially true for Days 9-11 and 12-13, because they have so much more content in them than the previous 8... I want everything remembered.
In addition, the recaps also provide the stage for memory recalls, which is a big part of the game (for now).
Lastly, it's to build the relationship between Paige and the MC, and to build the character of Paige, who is the most integral character in the game.
will it be just DLC only or part of main story?
It's DLC and doesn't affect the main story at all. With that said, a few characters from the MC's past (like Claire and Lexi) might make an appearance or two.
