I wanted to comment on that scene with Rori in the forest. He suggests that the main reason he’s gay is that girls are generally weird. That would be a joke in line with the game's humor, but it didn't seem like he was saying it as a joke. The MC's reaction options are also pretty bizarre: 1) you agree with him; 2) you say girls aren't that bad because they have boobs. Again, this would be easily forgettable if it were just another joke like Gunner's. But since it's a serious conversation and the MC doesn't even have a decent reaction option, it comes off really poorly. (Then again, I stopped playing right at that scene, so I don't know if Claire pops out of the bushes right after and makes a comment that clears everything up and I'm just being a pain. Or who knows, maybe this is part of some Rori arc)

I appreciate your critique and I think I could definitely improve the variety of choices you can make and flesh them out more. In that scene there's 3 options that are intended to cover how you can respond in that situation: 1) being someone who understands Rori's viewpoint but not necessarily to his extreme, 2) being a gentle rebuttal that tries to inject some lightheartedness into his rant and 3) a general response that leads into some questions you can ask. The scene is meant to reveal a glimpse into Rori's beliefs and lead into some of the trauma he's experienced that you'd see in chapter 4. After that decision tree he quickly moves on from the topic, feeling like he's shared too much but it is important for his character and his arc as you'll see in future chapters.
