bad update. Don't get why so many here are obsessed with the story when it's just okay and has been drip fed over the last 5 years. I found myself skipping over a lot of the dialogue with some characters cause it's just not interesting and doesn't add much to the 'experience'. Renders are good as always, but I won't be caring as much about this game anymore tbh. The release pace of this game required this update to give a little bit more and it didn't.

So, now that I'm done playing the whole of chapter 4, my take on the whole new family dynamics, what's new or has been changed, what's been confirmed, and the inconsistencies (if any). I'm only referring to what's contained in today's Season 1 release, not any previous releases...

If you did the excellent Summer's Gone restoration, you were my one hope for this game when I heard about the changes. Thank you for providing that.

It REALLY sucks that you don't think the relationships can be restored as originally presented. As for restoring Leia and William as siblings, personally I'm done. I don't want to invest any further in something that will probably be changed further into oblivion in the future. Your efforts will likely be wasted if a new chapter ever comes out. Ocean will undoubtedly make continuing the William/Leia as siblings edits impossible too.

When Ocean wrote the update in a way that deliberately made it impossible for good people like you to undo the censorship that is foisted upon them, that showed a complete disregard and contempt for those that have invested in their story up to this point. Though it's no loss to them, I'm done.

It's the same for me. While everyone is yapping about incest, these are the real problems ...

To be able to be sold in Germany he needs to spend a lot of Money and get the game rated by the USK so good luck LOL

The USK does not even allow Zombie Games like Dying light to be sold on Steam^^

Also if you are not satisfied. Go and Reviewbomb the game. this works with big titles too.
The USK thing is not even that big a problem, with a crime story as old WIAB (5+6) and new WIAB (1-3)was, he would have had no problems getting a 16 or even 12 rating. WIAB was never overly brutal, so no biggie. Dying light and stuff are only problematic for the USK due to their brutality.
His bigger problem is Steam and he (and we all) can "thank" former minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser for it. The worst MI Germany had in the last one and half centuries, if you google Incompetence her pic will be nearby. She and her ministry spooked Steam with a regulation due to Steams laughable age verification so much that Steam went the easy way and blocked Germany harder from "fun" stuff" than even before. And with everything Faeser touched, this regulation was stillborn from the get go and went into "Ablage P" (filing (R)ubbish box), but the damage was done.

Good luck if you’re planning to take on this game and try to ‘fix’ the mess Ocean created. You’re really going to need it. (y);)

I can’t shake the feeling that this effort to maintain coherence in the story or preserve enjoyment of the experience will ultimately be in vain, as constant rewrites and changes are inevitable, as both past and current experience show. Often, the reasons behind these changes don’t seem entirely sincere or justified, at least not always (just my opinion on it).

It’s a bit disappointing, though, that you feel the game’s family dynamics can’t be fully restored to their original form. That said, I totally understand, as you seem to point out, that such an approach would demand a lot more work, requiring a thorough rewrite of an entire chapter, which could be too much.

Still, I really appreciate your initiative and willingness to explore alternative solutions that could work given the current situation, particularly after these profound changes.

In any case, thank you for everything you contribute. Honestly, I don’t think I could bring myself to replay these two games in their actual state without the incredible and much-appreciated effort you put into them through your mods for the community. :)
