@blue I could not, and still cannot mod. But I will always stand by the point the non-con should be the work of modders. And a consensual romance path should be...the normal romance path.
The answer your last question, and to quote your friend Rote, stating scared faces were "clearly a discussed and intentional decision which perfectly suited AA's narrative about repeating the cycle of abuse" is supposition. No one knows what was discussed. Expressions are tagged with a number. The number was changed. Based off of audio dialogue. Nothing was mocapped. None of the devs or writers have ever stated that AA's narrative is about him being an abuser.
Interpretation is great. As long as we can recognize that what it is. Otherwise, it becomes veiled preaching.
(RE edit as not to give mods a migraine) I'm a bit confused over the no cross thread drama rule. Given it keeps getting brought up anyway. But to say anyone was bullied off of the patch 6 thread is *false*. And I encourage anyone who reads that to actually go and look for themselves. It was this exact discussion style. Approved by the mods.
