Exactly! It's like a Christmas present, half the fun is in the unwrapping. Then it's just another reindeer sweater.Why dressing? So we can undress them?

This is a conscious decision by CB and plays directly into the story of the game. You'll notice that unlike most VNs after the player chooses a choice the MC doesn't repeat that line of dialogue. That's likely a big reason why you think he doesn't speak often when it really is just a different way to handle the VN that you're not used to.
I don't disagree with this, except for the fact that maybe MCs lack of control might play into the story as outlined above. Let's not forget it plays into Olivia's character and MC seems like a nice guy (no, not one of those) who would certainly help the woman that's giving him a place to sleep for free out.

When you say yes to changing the oldest girl's name you get a roll back error so you can not change her name .
The worse part is even if you say no to changing her name it still gives you a roll back error and resets all names back to the default names UGGGGG.
Ok what is up with some of the choices when it gives you a roll back error and forces you into something else.
The coding needs to get fixed on this one before you get to much farther into the making of this game.

You need to understand this developer's unique sense of humor.When you say yes to changing the oldest girl's name you get a roll back error so you can not change her name

It is NOT a bug, it's a joke, and I doubt that it will ever be 'fixed' regardless of what the developer says here. At least I hope not.
How do I know it's a joke? Because I read the script that comes with the game. That 'roll back error' is coded into the game. The image you see with that error comes with the download. It's not a system error image. It imitates one, but it's not.
You may have noticed that all you have to do to get past the error is to hit <Enter>. That's not the normal way you get past a real error.
So, if you want to change Maeve's name to something else, I'm afraid you will have to change the code yourself.

You really need to search or look through the last several pages of this thread. These aren't errors; these are intentional and part of the joy that is Unleashed.When you say yes to changing the oldest girl's name you get a roll back error so you can not change her name

I for one fully trust Preglovr12 on this. They have only good intentions for us. It is like a rule or something that people into impregnation/pregnancy can't lie to others also into that.I love you lots, preggo, but I'ma hafta pass on that.

It is believed it is a gag from CarbonBlue. It very well could be. Especially since the "rollback" acts like a glitch in the matrix. At least it did when i tried changing names. Either way not being able to change everyone's names is not a bad thing.When you say yes to changing the oldest girl's name you get a roll back error so you can not change her name
The worse part is even if you say no to changing her name it still gives you a roll back error and resets all names back to the default names UGGGGG.

Yes, that is an annoying bug. Fortunately is isn't serious like the one which force the player to peek Sharon, but doing that you will not be able to see the sex scene with her, because she is too pissed off by the main character.When you say yes to changing the oldest girl's name you get a roll back error so you can not change her name

Why are you lying? THERE AREN'T JOKES IN THIS GAME! The developer is a too serious person to make a joke or to lie to us.

That is also a great way to get people from wanting to keep playing a game all because of some bs that the developer thinks hey this would be fun.You really need to search or look through the last several pages of this thread. These aren't errors; these are intentional and part of the joy that is Unleashed.
What would have been better is doing it so that it would not change your choice or the names. Also it is no joy to it just a pain in the ass. So if the developer wants to add a bunch of code that turns people off of their games that is all on them. Also I would call it a total waste of code to even give a choice and pull something like that.

As I have mentioned before, this developer's sense of humor is not for everyone. There are other games out there that probably won't annoy you.

The story is interesting, If they want to waste their time putting in worthless code that is on them let them waste their time. I will still play the game. As I said the story is interesting I would not but this game up in the amazing games. It is an ok game just interesting enough that I want to see how the story plays out only. At least they had enough sense to stop that error crap after the 1st 2 times.

Well, here's the thing. It may be 'worthless code' to you, but it's not to me. Nor is it to many others who play this game.
What you are saying is your subjective opinion... which is fine. But don't act like it is Gospel delivered from The Mount.
Well ... technically, the Characters are interesting. I haven't really seen much story yet.

Look, just like Walter and I have both said, it's intentional and enjoyed by many of us. If you don't like it, that's OK. No one is saying you have to like it. We're just saying that it's not actually an error, and it's meant as a little bit of humor. In the specific case of the name change, there are a several different things the joke could be.
- "You think you want to change Maeve's name, but if you really look deep inside, you actually don't. If you really consider it, Maeve is a perfect name for this character, so why would you ever try to change it?"
- "Oh, so you think you're in charge here? Really? With these women, you actually think you're in control?"
- The dev has criticized his own coding multiple times on this very thread. This could also be poking fun at himself: "[sigh] Yes, players, I'm not great a coding. See? I can't even let you change a character's name correctly half the time!"
But IMO this type of humor 1000% fits the general tone of the game.The MC isn't really ever in control, even if he starts "getting it"; accepting the darkness (an option with Shannon at the house Olivia sold to Zita) can mean more than just letting yourself pass out. With all of the pranks Shannon plays, with all of the confidence coupled with self-doubt of Angel, with all of the actions and responses from Maeve — with everything the characters do, is the MC really ever going to control things? Should he even try? With all of these faux errors players will be shown regardless, should players even try to be in control? Is it more fun to just strap in for the ride?
Only you can answer those questions for yourself. I consider the above points and have embraced the darkness. I personally find it a lot easier and more fun that way. You don't have to embrace it all, but if it's going to bother you so much, you'll need to decide if your enjoyment of the rest of the game (what doesn't bother you) outweighs what you don't like.
And then there is the opinion that they're not jokes at all. They're components of the universe the game is set in. Something is not right at a quantum level and we need to find out what it is.
Maeve comments on the inability to change names. Does she know what happened? If so, how does a character in a game, know about a "code error"?
When you go to the club, it's obvious that Maeve is not normal. But is she really a werewolf, or was it the drug in your drink?
Is there really vampire in the library at school?
If you sleep with Angel, you get to see Shannon's butt going up the stairs. If not, you only see pixelated blocks. Why? Did the MC's vision go wonky, or just ours? (It might be reversed, but I think I have it right)
And much much more. There are mysteries concerning the very universe the game is set in. What is going on is the question that should be asked. The OP says it straight out: Unleashed is a slice-of-life Visual Novel designed to play around with your expectations. To do that it begins in the stereotypical way that many VN's begin. You might see hints throughout that allude to things being a little different.
