Yes this is the change, and why can't that work?
Edit: I saw your other reply, so to expand ...
Do you not have family friends in which it would be taboo to have sex with? I know if I had had sex with one of my mom's friends when I was in my teens I probably would have gotten kicked out of the will.
lol no. that's not what I meant. I could been fine without the incest content. (actually I was never happy with the fact that the dex training was linked to the sister advance, and the main story plot linked to screwing the mom... I wanted at least the option to say no
)
what I meant when I said that didn't worked well. is the fact that the house basic scenario setting changed so drastically that a lot of things don't make sense at all.
a friend of your dad: She suddenly takes you inn and is forced to pay a debt? ... seriously? unless Debbie is linked to the debt as a partner I don't see it working.
Erik is a tenant: would anyone let a tenant do the things Erik does without a good reason? even letting them sell their valuables?
my point being is that the recent story changes don't make sense. either would require an extraordinary circumstances that are not explained. or they are illogical forced reactions to the characters. either way it's not working well with the flow of the narrative of the story.
To head off a re-start of the whole "How to get around the Patreon Incest restriction" debate, can I suggest you first read any of the threads related to this subject. You will quickly learn that Patreon basically considers all legal definitions of a 'family' member (blood-relation and not blood-relation / direct and in-direct) as included in that restriction so there is no point in making suggests about this subject, just accept that this is how things are for projects that use Patreon and move on.
I just mentioned that because there are a lot of other projects out there on patreon working with similar settings.
