That are definitely points that made me stay in the beginning. Although I don't have that much of a problem with the conspiracies, yet.I think that several of us have tried to make the same point - that top athletes at big schools get preferential treatment but 95% of the college-related narrative in WMV is sheer fantasy. Animal House and Old School are more realistic and it’s just too much for me and lot of other people. I think that many people, maybe even most people, would have been happy with a less complex, more grounded VN with more a more predictable release trajectory.
I think what resonated early on with many people was the relatively simple and reasonably wholesome “big man on campus athlete is a chick magnet” backstory and stuff like princesses in basements and multiple conspiracies turns off early adopters and makes the VN a giant pain in the ass to develop.
What I currently have problems with is more a list of small things that seems to be ever growing over the updates and made me ask myself if I still liked it enough to support it financially multiple times. (I stopped to do so for now after that last poll ...)
- Face shots got more and more streamlined. Instead of individual faces, everyone tends to always show a duck face.
- Only encountered Tali after the rework, but the question remains - do we 'need' her and her backstory?
- Overlapping with the last point - at the beginning, I remember BD saying, that customers were side-chicks that wouldn't be integrated into the main story but stay separate. Which I was very fine with as I play without that contract. But now it seems that all clients will come into the main story sooner or later (and if I get it right, initially Tali was a special client too?).
- While I could remember and name pretty much every girl up until the bowling event even after coming back for a new update, we got that many new girls here with no real introduction or names... why? Before it was 'one-by-one' and every girl had her own story. And I might mix the last update(s) and DITLO, but they seem to be pretty much part of the group now, with almost no prior integration - but maybe the rework will change that.
- I liked the DITLO and had no problem with the censoring (although the effect could have been better), but it incorporated several elements that aren't part of my playthrough. I realize for such a small side story it is kind of overkill to add in all your personal choices, but it reduced my enjoying it nonetheless.
- While I liked what we were shown of the remodeled girls, it seems that they get a little less unique/individual.
- Not a popular one from what I have read, but from the very beginning, I found Jamies face 'weird'. I can't put a finger on it, but it feels slightly off for me.
- For me personally, I'm not into giant tits or asses - and a lot of them seem to have grown over the updates - or BD uses angles that enhance them more often now.
