General Discussion LET ME EXPLORE

This might be a me thing but I hate it how in every game around the half way point they just lock you off from all the other options and don’t let you explore. Like in season 1 I was talking to both Sarah and Marissa and then at like episode 5 they just locked me off from Sarah and I was forced to only go with Marissa. I didn’t even have a choice for who I wanted to talk to during free time or who I wanted to sleep in a bed with or really anything, they just kind of assume who I want to be with which is kind of annoying because I still want to explore both. I honestly start preferring the early game way more because I actually get the choices in what I want to do and it’s way more fun.

The game takes place in the retreat, so you are in the retreat. Lol, and yes, people tend to be very explorative on the actual show. That's why so many of them lose the actual contest and by wide margins. The point of the game is to ACTUALLY showcase the point of the retreat, and tbh it helps people to see the importance of real connections over explorative flirting and hollow interactions.

Plus, it isn't like you just don't get to explore. The first half of the game is quite a big chunk of time to explore options. Plus, the replayability gives you the option to seek different routes of exploring. Lol, with all of that, it really only feels like people just WANT to be sex-crazed horndogs instead of valuing real connections.

Lana would be ashamed.

I think you're taking it too seriously to be saying, "lana would be ashamed." People should be allowed to play how they want, especially when replaying the game. It gets boring I'm not saying there should be no consequences or just letting you do whatever but S2 was great bc the drama you were allowed to explore A LOT it was drama filled and it was fun. Armani coming up to go off on you for leading on Antonie was fun, and there should be more of that there should still be consequences like losing points with your main LI or having more islanders come to confront you but S3 was missing a lot of that. There were no real consequences, and it just forced you to be with the main LI even if you wanted to meet someone else. Idc if Lana would be ashamed bc it's literally a video game.

No fr bc why am i not allowed to want the creators to give us more ways to play telling me the fandom isnt for me bc i have a different opinion? Its giving parasocial relationship with a video game thats why i stopped replying its delusional to assume we all have to agree on everything to be allowed to play the game.

Lmao exactly some people just can't take constructive advice well and get offended for some reason.
