No worries, it's not stupid at all.Ok I have a stupid question.
I've been playing the game, really enjoying all the story lines and interactions with the characters. Also really enjoying the city exploration, even though I seem to have gotten through the available content fairly early.
But now, probably day 110 or so when I try to leave the house I get this message:
"WARNING: THESE SCENES ARE MEANT TO BE PLAYED AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE GAME" followed by something to the effect of you can do it anyway but it might break the story.
So, what does this mean exactly? I have no idea if I'm still early in the game, or middle, or near the end of current content. My relationship level with the characters is in the teens and 20s, and yeah I've been visiting the few town locations that are still open (most say that they're at the end of current content.) Are town locations not meant to be available for the full game? Is there some event pending that will change things? What will happen if I ignore the warning and leave the hotel? And will I be able to continue taking advantage of the local temporal phenomena at the bowling alley to win prize money?
The others have already explained it nicely, so just to contextualize it a bit more: the city exploration is a quite recent addition to the game but it's meant to fill the downtime that exists in the very early game when there isn't much to do around the hotel yet. The warning is mostly meant for players coming into it with previous savefiles, since those events happen from MC's pov as if he's just arrived in the city. The only thing that it "breaks" is the story flow.
Now, the fact that you're seeing this warning even after playing through all the city content is a different issue entirely.
It's either an oversight or a bug.
