You say the scene is plot important but you make it skippable? Just to be clear I dont like that type of scene but just wondering the thought process with that?
That is a fair question. I made it skippable because I thought there would be some who wouldn't like it. It appears I wasn't wrong in thinking that; what I was wrong in thinking is that making it skippable would prevent those same people from being upset. What happens in that scene is going to have consequences for the LI and will be referred to in other scenes involving her later in the game, some quite important. That scene also most clearly sets up one of the central mysteries or problems of the game.
In short, I made it skippable against my better judgment, but I also know a good chunk of folks don't like that kind of thing, so I thought I could head off any discontent by making it skippable. I was wrong about that. It appears the best course of action would have been to not make it skippable and to simply put a warning on the game page about the scene, and people could decide if they wanted to play the game or not based on that.
