One problem (for me) is the massive build up the Dev gave setting up this reveal at the beginning. How many times was it referenced? The fact that he took out the mom slapping her son in a drunken rage is proof that things aren't going as planned.Also from a story standpoint it becomes to predictable if everyone uses it as the reason or can see it coming beyond just the dislike. Sometimes that is not bad though if the genre is about that as with horror movies for example that rarely have originality either and originality is not always expected or appreciated by the fans of the genre.
The other thing is also a point to consider when as a dev you want to make a more romantic games where women should be Li's for MC, yeah a big part of that player base do not like to see sex scenes with those girls with others as MC. It can be done and there are examples of games where devs got away with it when chose non abusive assholes at least or only revealed them later as assholes, but you better be very careful about it and redeem the lady as a LI or make sure you do not taint her for those players if choose to show it and some players well they are very extreme about it.
For me the stronger the story is itself beyond just MC getting together with the Li's, the more I do not mind other scenes that much if they are done well and not another easy blackmail and the woman forgets she has a functioning brain immediately.
My fear (if you want to call it that) is that anything less than a major event will not justify the mom's bad behavior to date. Making the event sexual (rape?) might be 'predictable', but it would both 1) justify her turning to booze and treating others like shit and 2) justify why she couldn't tell her kids. 'I can't tell my kids I lost the Freeman account' ain't gonna cut it.
But as I acknowledged before, any explanation where the mom is shown to have had sex with someone not the MC (rape or otherwise) will rain havoc onto the comment section. I hope too much doesn't get changed just to appease a small group here.
With that said, I hope the Dev can pull it off because I'm here for the hook up between the milf and the MC.
