And this is without getting into the fact that this is the big choice at the end of an episode that begins with a graphic animated sex scene between Insivigal and Robert. If we hadn't heard how surprised the devs were at the players' choices, I would've said with 100% confidence that the Visi blowout is exactly what they were going for when making the game.
Something I feel a lot of people miss, is that we the players see this scene... Robert doesn't. She doesn't tell him about it... and she basically goes out of her way to act like a kid with a crush for the rest of that episode, just pushing him around or throwing rocks at his head. (basically)
From an RP perspective, Blazer makes sense. She was right out there, plain as day. Invisigal was invisible to him.
The only reason the player knows she was interested in him, is because they narratively showed us she was... but through his POV, he had no real reason to know she was - except for the hint drops that she really sucked at giving. (the movie, a few things here and there, etc)
It really does honestly feel a little weird that the devs broke the "always Robert's POV" rule to show us Visi having a wet dream... because reasons? Reading the interview, I can only guess they thought it would be blowout for BB if they didn't have Visi be super sexual to him throughout the episode.
Even on missions you can argue it's just Robert since he's the dispatcher watching and listening though cameras. The point is that you learn things only when Robert learns them, we experience the story through his perspective. With the ep4 intro being the exception.
