I don't know why people still fuss about that.
The game is between 4 and 7 hours in gameplay by now, depending on the player.
The "forced" scene was in Chapter one, about 15-20 minutes into the gameplay.
After that the player could say no to all sexual actions with her and finally break up with her in 3.3.
She's still there and will be.
Because it's just not manageable to render different storylines where she is completely gone (or later in the game Isa, if you deny her).
And for the other reasons: Yes, I know some people don't like her hair. Or her attitude.
I get it. But the reason why I'd chosen this hair should be clear after her backstory and her character building.
Same for her attitude.
She needs to build trust. Until now it should be clear that she's not the tough "I fight the world alone" girl. At least not when she's with people she likes/loves.
I'm trying to tell a story and like in every movie, there are people you don't like and who grow on you. Or not.
My decisions might have hurt my "success", but this was never meant to be a full time job, which it is for some time now.
But if I wanted to do a "successful" game, I wouldn't have picked a 2 LI only, story focused game
So peace
People love it, people hate it.
And people who stop playing after 15 minutes wouldn't have been my audience anyway.
There are a lot of things I would do different now.
But not Alex
