And while I know that it's still possible for 2 dark haired parents to have a blonde child...let's say the odds are better to win multible times in a row in the lottery - or that it's simply an oversight by the devs but yeah... That would be an EA-Level fail... So no... I think it's on purpose.
It's not oversight or fail,I think Iksanabot said a while back that they couldn't find proper model for Charlie so they just used pre-made one
Hmm this is very interesting to me. Thanks for playing the LWT games, thanks for thinking intelligently about them, and thanks for posting about them.
Part of me thinks I should say nothing, because appreciating a story is subjective. It's fiction, there is no objective reality, each person owns their own version of the story that is very much their interpretation. I will say that stcro1 is right, I didn't intend for the Charlie model to look like that, but not necessarily because of the hair. it was the age I didn't like - the game was supposed to take place a year after LWT1, so Charlie should have looked younger.
I will also add that it was very much my intention that Justin's choices influence Tracy's personality development over the course of the game. What I never thought of was whether Justin's choices should influence who Tracy was before she met him. I think I wrote Tracy feeling that there was ONE TRUE Tracy and the player learns who she is intimately by learning how she'd behave in a multitude of situations by playing through the game many times. So it's one Tracy, who would swing with Justin in certain situations and be happy, or would be happy with monogamy in another, etc.... But I also like the idea of multiple versions of Tracy, for example, a Tracy that cheated on Justin before the game and gave birth to a son that isn't Justin's, and a Tracy who never in her life cheated on anybody. Theoretically, you control Justin, so you define who Justin is, and so why shouldn't that affect the character of someone Justin, *your version of Justin*, decided to marry? Though I suppose I wouldn't want to change Tracy TOO much, I do kind of love her... Anyway, it's an interesting idea. If we do another expansion of LWT1, I'll consider putting in some choices that give proof of two different past Tracy's. I'm not promising that I will, I'm just saying I'll consider it. Of course, we've all done one thing in one circumstance that we might not have done in a different mood, so maybe even the ONE TRUE Tracy could have made some different choices in the past that Justin's choices reveal...
Please share your thoughts. But I won't see them for a few days as I'm camping for a few days. And it might be even longer before I contribute again because I have a looming real-job deadline.
Best regards,
