I take it this update is just content for the main then yes?
I'd say it's something like 30/70 for the main/surprise. Consuela wasn't supposed to be part of the main update (at least she wasn't mentioned in the poll), so her content is basically optional, while the whole Rump mansion stuff will certainly be needed for the main update.
I am I the only one that is a bit worried by all the real-life characters popping up in the game now? Rump was a funny joke at first, to me at least, but now that he, Ricardo (is that his name), Gordon, Iwanka, Rump Wife, Kim Jung Ill, and especially "Keeves" are in the game, I find it waaaay too distracting.
I really like the original characters and the feeling that I play a story where there are people who live in that world. Now it just feels I'm thrown out of that world again to real-world BS.
I think it's fine, at least for now, because the characters work without people knowing who they are. I'm not really that much into most movies, cooking shows, etc. so beyond knowing who those people are, so I have no real idea about inside jokes, etc. yet it was fine and somewhat fitting. I mean, it's a general problem with actors, etc. yet we somehow manage to watch for example Indiana Jones without thinking about Star Wars.
That said, I'd agree that there probably shouldn't be that many more of them. I very much preferred him taking people from picarto chat etc. to fill those spots.
Edit:
... and she just comes by -every day- to clean his house for free.
I guess somebody should just forward that to DC's team. After all it's a minor change that doesn't even require an additional art. Like, let her clean MC's house once a week during the weekend afternoon or so for free and and additional days will cost MC additional money. That said, of course the game was never really meant to be super realistic. I mean, we are still talking about magic telescopes, a brothel inside a mall, clydes letter to the police, etc, so having MC buy a very cheap house may be excusable.
