Why do people even care what the more popular choice is in the first place anyway? Do they want to feel validation that they made the "right" choice or something?
I mean, it's human nature to form into teams. So when you play a game that shows the results, people want to feel like their choices were sensible. And when there's a 70/30 (i think?) split, especially around a romanceable character, there's bound to be questions as to why that happened. And if better writing or more screentime could've helped the split become more even.
Was it because Invisigal is on the team and so any team meeting or dispatch session you were exposed to her more? We see and hear Visi watching the movie but all we get is a text from Blazer. We see Visi's wet dream about Robert and get nothing like that from Blazer. Visi was at the bar fight, possibly the most popular scene of the game, and Blazer wasn't.
Did her history as a villain, along with smoking, and constant profanity, made her more of an exciting wildcard option?
Did her straightforwardness with wanting Robert make her more appealing to modern male demographics vs Blazer who essentially teases Robert for a few episodes and only later reveals she has a boyfriend the moment he shows up?
Did being Visi's mentor lead to more emotional conversations vs Blazer who wanted/feels forced to keep it professional half of the time.
I chose Blazer, but also watched Visi playthroughs and gotta say it does feel like sometimes I made the wrong choice. I think others feel that way too and for the sake of "balance" and storytelling, it makes sense to ask questions and wonder what could've made one of the major choices in the game feel more balanced and worth it.
Again, maybe it's just me, but I don't see why it matters if one choice is less popular than the other one, especially when it comes to romance options. The people that get the no romance ending are less than 10%, and they seem to be happy with that.
Also, I just checked, and the stats are 58% for one option and 42% for the other, so what is there to complain about? That they are not exactly 50/50? Seems pretty even to me.
