I love how I can just play through the game time and time again and never get to a point of sheer “well I’ll just wait for next update.” It seems like there’s always something new I miss and more elements that’s remind me of how great this game is. I love how every character (maybe except Roswell for reasons) has such interesting styles of their development, even when you aren’t playing their route. Also I love how unskippable the dialogue is. It’s just that good.😩P. S. - Sal is best boi😩
His development per se isn’t an issue, but during most conversations with literally anyone other than Dave, I feel like he’s literally always trying to talk someone down. There are many scenes where he’s seen as disrespectful, literally provoking Tyson multiple times, despite his whole “I don’t like him” perspective, being super unreasonable, and, while it’s just his world-building, literally downplaying Sal’s intelligence. He doesn’t really seem to have positive moments unless you specifically play his route, and those feelings are ONLY for Dave and he just seems to kick everyone else to the curb. I can understand if he’s meant to have this attitude because of how early on him and Dave became friends, but his blindsided attachment to the past is a little overboard. Every other character is positive (or trying to be in Ty’s case) in most scenarios if they don’t involve the deaths. Even with Hoss, if it sounds negative, it really isn’t because he usually has a more analytical approach to things, whereas Roswell just spits venom to everyone. I remember him kind of admitting his jealousy, but he can be a real downer.
That... is a big problem that I didn't notice until now. There should've been something in the way of seeing his interactions with his closer friends (Hoss and Orlando) but I guess I've just internalized it with how often it gets brought up on the server. Thanks for this, I might have to rework a couple earlier scenes, or inject a couple nicer ones just to make him seem less of a douche because he really isn't. Tactless at times sure, but he does have friends that like him for good reasons.
