The connection? Its in the post directly before yours mentioned and many times in the thread. Game mechanic breaks due to some triggers connected to the amount of money you made. If the money amount jumps between savegames, some triggers will be skipped over/missed.
Ask the dev team in the discord if you want to know more or choose to doubt me.
Last update at 9. Juli and second last update on the 1. Juli. That's a interesting math you do there if you get 7 as difference.
Clearly no.
Firstly: I dont think its for most people important if the char is overall likable as player char.
Second and much more important: Do you really think the devs redo all their done work involving the MC? Half of all images and videos? That's a ... mildly put...horrible idea! I would not even invest 3 hours for some stray and thoughtless wish. Sry if this offends you, but its simply the true.
