If there is one outcome, remove the guise of control. Have my character speak for me. I don’t fucking care. I’d rather feel like my character is doing or saying something I wouldn’t personally do than for me to be given a fucking pop-up that means nothing and is just there to reinforce a self-insert facade. At least make a bit out of it if you’re gonna do it. It’s genuinely one of the worst pieces of game design outside of legitimately predatory behavior.

I know the first one was the one with the dae le sexy sex trading card collection, which was steeply offputting to me in and of itself at the time because "dae le mature game" was already seeming downright juvenile to me as a pop culture trajectory.
