There didn't even need to be other romances in the game - just the choice to not have one now. Again, just me speaking, but it feels kinda cheep since we were already forced into a romance - had the relationship with Chigara been something we could choose to make platonic or romantic, it would make it easier narrative-wise. Granted, Fontana's position in PACT makes his attempts somewhat more salvageable then Kryska's current one.Īnd while I give applause to there being more character-interaction choices. Kryska's a bit more understandable though, because she's kinda like Fontana in that sense - she desperately wants to believe her cause is still savable, even if realistically it's beyond hope. Again, mid-game content probably could have salvaged that. I didn't expect her to be some God-entity - if anything it kinda makes it a plot-hole to have a walking wish-wall like that. With the Doctor Who references (playful, coy character who's hinted to be a time traveler and is a doctor - not to mention her chest is more then big enough to hold two hearts ) I kinda expected Claude to be a time-traveler. It's not like there wasn't story in storage to use - there were plans for two whole chapters in MoA regarding a focus on Claude and Icari respectively that could have been salvaged and implemented in LD. Again, probably beating a dead horse, but I feel that MID-GAME content would have softened the blow far more then post-game content, because - even if it is good in a stand-alone sense - it feels like rushed damage-control.

If we'd had some sort of build-up to a bit of what we'd seen regarding Claude and the like, this wouldn't be as terribly surprising. Agreeing with Histidine on this - It feels like an awful lot of handwaving to be done all of a sudden.
