tbh, I don'r miss the lack of choice at all. The story is interesting enough and the depth of the characters is good enough that I do not even notice that lac at all while playing.
Also, in many AVN's, most people track back and choose the other option when their choice means the skip a scene. How many other AVNs have comments of people asking "how do I get this missing scene in my gallery?" That is not needed when the answer is just play to the end to unlock everything.
Of course I can understand the ability to skip scenes of the characters you are not interested in, but that easy and quick to just hold down <LEFT><CTRL> (skip) during the scenes you don't want. (assuming you set your skip to affect animations.)
