"I'm still curious about why the "nature of the protagonists' relationship" might feel important for someone to know prior to playing the game, if anyone does feel like that and would care to share."

why is it important to you to know why this question is important for other people??? it is, after all, just a simple question of explaining the conflicting info we have here.

anyway i was happy when i saw that the topic had so many answers, thought that maybe we would get some light on the subject here. but the topic has grown in size with everything besides the main point of the topic.

so if nobody knows for sure whats what about this conflicting info till the game is released, let us all be patient and wait a little bit more.

thanks everyone about your input on the subject in question.
