A couple of questions - first, how important is it go through every dialogue option? I started checking this out, and was surprised at how much dialogue there is. I got up to the small council meeting very early in ep 1 and was like holy shit there are several topics for each person I can talk to.
Does any of this actually matter? Normally I play through VNs very methodically but honestly with this one I would like to skip around a bit before committing to that amount of time. Is that going to make me miss content?
Second question - why isn't this strung together into a single game that content just keeps getting added to? (Why have each episode be like a stand-alone game?)
