Yeah, that's always frustrating when you have to guess if someone will be an LI when it comes to planning out playthroughs. Going through numerous hours for a solo path, just to find out they were nothing more than a minor distraction on another LI's route is frustrating.
Cynthia and Riley are two odd ones:
- Cynthia has 'cynthia_affection' variable, but no path variable. Seem odd to create an affection variable if she'll never be seen again... but the lack of a path variable would imply she'll just be a minor side girl.
- Riley has a 'riley_route' variable, but no 'riley_affection' variable. Which, is more confusing than Cynthia. So she'll like you to varying degrees, but she'll neverbe an LI or main side girl I guess?
Tasha also only has a _affection variable, and no _route, but I think the general consensus is a minor side girl for drama anyways.
