To be fair, I do adore the phrasing of "Path to execution obstructed", it sounds pretty damn metal, but also gives off a... fairly different vibe than the earlier version I remember having played at some point. xD

Thanks for the upload btw, I'll have to try to gather my nerves for another playhrough to see the new stuff since...

Xx_Dude_xX is a pure and precious little gem and I'd feel a bit bad for allowing his dreams to get corrupted yet again after having put in the extra effort to get the "not corrupted" endings.

I'd argue at the start of the story, he is too focused on what he THINKS he wants instead of asking IF he wants it.
Insert Uncle Iroh: Its time to stop and ask: who are YOU? And what do YOU want?

I would consider all good endings (aka not the bad ones) as the MC following his dreams. He just realized they are slightly different, or adapted his new likes into it. The only bad ending are the... bad endings. Where the MC again hyperfocused on what does he THINKS he wants instead of actually thinking about it.

I get you, I get you. If our dear MC, uh, I mean our protagonist realizes what he wants and is happy then it should all be good...

It's just that he starts of as the kind of character that evokes a powerful, instinctual, need to protect him from the evil, dirty world around him and letting a certain someone have his way too much feels like failing that need.

... or maybe I just think that (s)he is cutest when you only grab upgrades up to a certain point and I'm rationalizing to justify my own preferences. Who knows, really? xD

Fair. You can always grab some upgrades and still be pure (both for the sense of endings and thematic), like Sweet talking, which merchants usually do anyway. Buuut, if you want them a bit busty and curvy, nothing is stopping you :P
